5 ways to get your guy to propose (4rom TOI)

If you've been waiting for your man to pop up 'Will you marry me?' or insisting he buys that rock solid solitaire, it's time you rethink your game plan. Follow our practical tips to get your guy down on bended knees... 
1. Don't talk about weddings 
Don't make it obvious that you are dying to be proposed to as chances are that your guy will run a mile. So, every time you pass a wedding procession pretend to be irritated. If there's a wedding scene in a film you both are watching, yawn and if you go to a wedding together, complain about the length of the ceremony and the poor quality of food. At home, keep saying, "I just hope you'll never make me do that."
2. Feel bad for engaged and married pairs 
When you meet up with your oldest pal who's got everything according to you - the house, the man and the kids -pretend that you guys are better off than them. On your way home, keep telling your man how you thought that they looked miserable and bored. Even if know you are lying to yourself - just keep telling your guy that you both are far happier than them. He's bound to be surprised.
3. Holiday with your girlfriends 
Ditch your man and head to an exotic destination with your gal pals. Save up and take that dream holiday you've been vying for a long time. Now, even if you do spend every night in a ram shackled resort talking about how much you miss your love, he won't know that. Let him go green with envy thinking you're in indulgence heaven, getting hot and heavy with other eligible men.
4. Keep your parents away 
Don't suggest he spend his Diwali holiday with your family. Let him enquire why he wasn't invited, then tell him, "Why trouble yourself honey!" This is likely to make him feel left out, but at the same time it will make him wonder. Once he feels these two emotions about you, he'll have no choice but to pin you down and beg you to be his eternal flame.

5. Resist the temptation to move in with your guy 
You're dying to stay over after that night of wild sex and never leave his cozy sex pad. You've even made place in his medicine chest in the loo for your belongings, but woman remember moving in minus that commitment is just giving it too easy to your man. He's likely to never ask for your hand, coz he's enjoying all the perks of marriage, minus the responsibilities. So, keep that distance and keep him wanting more when you kiss him goodnight at the door.

xp password hack (Hack xp os enabled computer)

xp password hack::: with linux live cd and no other thing needed..
and u need not know username and nothing...

It is impossible to gain access to the SAM file located in the %SystemRoot%\system32\config directory,
while Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 is running because it is used by the operating system. If there is a physical access to the machine, it is possible to copy the SAM file by booting operating system copy or another operating system. If Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 is installed to the disk with NTFS file system, accessing it from MS-DOS or Windows 95/98/Me will require additional software. In MS-DOS can be used such programs as NTFSDOS and NTFSDOS Professional, in Windows 95/98/Me -NTFS for Windows 98 (by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell). Accessing from Linux operating system will require an NTFS support turned on. It is also possible to boot from a floppy disk and copy SAM file, having launched a program to access NTFS in advance.

After this you need to import from SAM file. Extracting password hashes from a SAM file was first developed and applied in SAMDump program (by Dmitry Andrianov). During a SAM file i The way to obtain a SAM file in Windows NT operating system, which does not require a computer rebooting, is copying itfrom
%SystemRoot%\repair directory or emergency repair disk. Every time when an emergency repair disk in Windows NT is created by RDISK program, a SAM file packed and saved to a sam._ file, which is in fact backup copy of a SAM file. A sam._ file is an archive in the cabinet format. This file can be unpacked by the command "expand sam._
sam". The disadvantage of this method is that some passwords might have been changed since the emergency repair disk creation and sam._file might be outdated. LCP program has a built-in ability to import SAM file from a sam._ file without using the expand program.A sam._ file is preliminary unpacked while import of user accounts list process and then the actual SAM file import is performed.
A SAM file is also copied when a complete backup copy is created. If there is
an access to a backup copy, a SAM file can berecovered from
%SystemRoot%\system32\config
directory to a different machine and after all extract password hashes from it. The
disadvantage of this method is also that passwords might have been changed since the last time of backup copy creation.

There is the SYSKEY tool, which first appeared in Service Pack 3 for Windows NT.

SYSKEY additionally encrypts password hashes

of user accounts, which makes import from SAM

file by SAMDump useless. SYSKEY can be used

in one of the following variants:

* generated startup key is saved encrypted to

registry on the local hard disk;
* to derive startup key the startup password

chosen by the administrator is used;
* generated startup key is saved to the

floppy disk, which should be inserted during

operating system start. Log in with out WIN

XP admin password
till recently i was thinking if there is a

way to log in a computer
without knowing his/her adminitrator`s

password.whough i have already
posted a lot of tips to gain
access /break administrator`s password.
here`s my new finding.
1. Place your Windows XP CD and start your
comp (before that set your
bios set to boot from CD)
2. Screen messages for booting is typically
"Press any key to boot from cd"
3. The first screen will indicate that Setup
is inspecting your system
and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome setup screen
press Enter to setup Windows now
5. The licensing Agreement comes next � Press
F8 to accept it.
6. The next screen is the SETUP screen which
gives you the option to
do a Repair. It should read something like
"if on of the following
Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup
can try to repair it"
Use the up and down arrow keys to select your
XP installation (in case
you have more than one Windows on your comp �
if you have one, it
should already be selected) and PRESS R TO
BEGIN REPAIR process.
7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check
your disks and then start
copying files which can take several minutes.
8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you
will be required toreboot.(this will happen automatically
you will see a progress bar
stating "Your computer will reboot in 15
seconds"
9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake
of "pressing any key" to
booth from CD again! Setup will resume
automatically with the standard
billboard screens and you will notice
INSTALLING WINDOWS is
highlighted.
10. Keep YOUR EYE ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND SIDE
OF THE SCREEN AND WHEN
YOU SEE THE INSTALLING DEVICES progress bar,
PRESS (SHIFT + F10). This
is security hole! A command console will now
open up giving you the
potential for wide access to your system.
11. At the prompt type NUSRMGR.CPL and press
ENTER. Bingo! You have
just gained graphical access to your User
Accounts in the Control
12. Now simply pick the account you need to
change and remove or
change your password as you prefer. If you
want to log on without
having to enter your new password, you can
type userpasswords2 at the
prompt and choose to log on without being
asked for password. After
you've made tour changes close the windows,
exit the command box and
continue on with Repair.
13. Once Repair is done you will be able to
log on with your new
password (or with out if you chose not to be
asked for password) and
so lives go one
Entering Xp in less than 55 sec without admin
pass
You can break admin pass within 55 sec.
yes,,,,, n i m not joking .
This trick works only in Windows XP Pro.
U can break admin pass within 55 seconds.
Just go login ur computer in safemode by
pressing F8. After loging in Go to Run. Just
type this:-
netuser"administrator's
name""newpassword".
type administrator's name & new password
without quotes..means u hv to give a space inbetween
the commands.
Restart ur PC.
And then logon ur admin account with ur new
password.

FALLING HAIR

Dear friends, Now days i'm suffering from hair falling problem. some one suggested that i will try "Miss Meenal" tips regarding to prevent  hair falling. from today(18/10/2010), i'm going to try it. u can also try it.

FALLING HAIR - meenal tips

Does your hair fall a lot? Don't worry, you're not alone. Millions of people from all around the world suffer from dry, brittle and weak hair. Some of the possible reasons for falling hair are:  

• Tension
• Too much work
• Illness 
• Poor diet 
• Over-exposure to the sun
• Perming
• Amateur bleaching
• Too frequent and inexpert use of tints, rinses or other colourants 

Here is what you can do to prevent hair fall 

• Shampoo regularly. Remember, a CLEAN scalp is a HEALTHY SCALP. 
• Brahmi amla oil also promotes hair growth. 
• A high protein diet with plenty of fruits, green vegetables and dairy products is a must. 
• Drink 10-12 glass of water everyday. 
• Use a very mild shampoo and condition your hair at least twice a week. When you do, make sure you rinse out the conditioner thoroughly, otherwise residue build-up will cause your hair to look limp and dull. 
• Know your vitamins! IRON is important for healthy hair and brittle, limp hair indicates an iron deficiency. Spinach has a good iron content, so gulp it down!
• ZINC helps prevent hair loss and greying. Eat adequate zinc rich foods. Overweight people tend to have zinc deficiency, which is inversely related to the body mass index. Thus if you are overweight and if your hair falls too much, you may want to increase your intake of zinc containing foods. Recipes containing stone ground, wholegrain flour are rich in zinc. 
• A shortfall in VITAMIN B may cause dandruff, falling hair, loss of colour and could encourage grey hair. So B group Vitamins are essential for gloss, colour and thickness. 
• VITAMIN C ensures the health of capillaries supplying blood to hair follicles. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. 
• VITAMIN E encourages hair growth. Switch from refined flours to wholemeal and wheatgerm, eggs, vegetable oil. 
• COPPER stops hair from falling. Studies show that the copper content in the blood serum of people with falling hair is less than normal. Different types of alopecia (falling hair) are seen to have a deficiency of this important trace element. Include small quantities of nuts, especially cashews and peanuts, seeds, whole milk and beans in your diet as these contain minute but important amounts of copper. 

Homemade remedies for preventing hair fall: 

1. Apply almond oil on scalp and massage. 
2. Grind fenugreek seeds in water and apply on your scalp. Wash off after 40 minutes. Do this every morning for a month ¡V if it suits you! Remember, different treatments suit different types of hair.  
3. Massage warm castor oil + almond oil into your scalp gently. Wrap a hot towel around your scalp so it gets absorbed into the hair. Do this twice a week for healthy, shiny hair. 
4. Add 2-3 drops of honey to a glass of water and use this as the last rinse after shampooing. 

Quick Hair Care Conditioner 
Mix 1 egg, 2 tbs castor oil, 1 tsp vinegar and 1 tsp glycerine. Beat until frothy and massage lightly into your scalp. Wrap your head in a hot towel, steam, then wash off. This conditioner makes hair thicker, shiny, soft and manageable.  
Honey Conditioner

Beat 1-2 eggs (depending on the length of the hair), 1 tsp honey and 2 tsp olive oil. Massage gently into the scalp. Steam, and shampoo after an hour.  

Alcohol Conditioner

Beat 1-2 eggs with 2 tsp brandy. Massage into your scalp. Leave for 10-15 mins. Rinse well. The egg nourishes your hair and brandy stimulates hair growth.

Your hair is a vital beauty asset, requiring constant loving care. And with a little nurturing, lush, glossy hair will be yours.

Ethical Hacking

Ethical Hacking (the whitehats)

 These concepts should be understood because they are very important for information security

Lets look at it this way, according to the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and Voldemort are almost alike, But the difference between them is, unlike Voldemort, Potter accepts mortality and uses his knowledge of magic for good.

funny example though 

Ethical hackers are those that use their knowledge and skills for good. They are the ones called whitehat hackers. They have a lot of benefits in the society because, they stand for what is good and beneficial to everyone. They are well paid by their employers so as to resist the temptation of going dark. This can be an eye opener for others since its better to live a life which you won't have to be running from the authorities or harming anyone.


My concept of Ethical Hacking and information security is meant to encourage those who are so interested in computing but fear some aspects due to the misconception about breach in security and the law and also to show those who are already breaking the law and system that there is some good in doing the right thing.

---

Here are some notable whitehats.

1. Berners-Lee: He has been honored with the Millennium Technology Prize and several other honors. His feat is the invention or the world wide web. The system that’s been used to access internet files and websites today. He also founded the World Wide Web Consortium at MIT which considers itself as an international consortium where member organizations, full-time staff and the public work together to develop web standards.

2. Stephen Wozniak: Together with Steve Jobs, co-founded Apple Computer and sold the first 100 of the Apple I to a local dealer for $666.66 each. Has been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in September 2000 and also has been awarded with the National Medal of Technology, honorary doctorate degrees from some Universities. He also participates in philanthropy no longer working full time at Apple.

3. Linus Torvalds: has an asteroid named after him and has received honorary doctorates from some Universities and is considered the father of Linux(the Unix-based operating system). He is a Finnish software engineer and had hacked a few games. He is more focused on the positive part of the whole show. He created the Linux kernel in 1991. He still works for Linux and is very open to new ideas as well as coordinating the code received as a contribution from volunteer programmers.

4. Tsutomu Shimomura: after been hacked by Kevin Mitnick, together with computer journalist John Markoff, chose to help the FBI capture Mitnick. Shimomura out-hacked Mitnick to bring him down using Mitnick's cell phone. He earlier did some bad things but realized his mistakes and decided to do a right thing for the good of everyone.

5. Richard Stallman: Founder of GNU Project and Free Software Foundation, Has honorary doctorates from more than 5 institutions. He worked earlier as a staff hacker on Emacs project. He encourages availability of free software for all.

 We can be well respected and important in the world like these guys or can be;

Blackhats

This on the other hand is different from Ethical hacking.These guys mostly do it out of curiosity or for fun while others do it for personal gain. But the results are devastating. Our computers suffer, our credit cards suffer.

This is where Lord Voldemort comes in.(exceeding the limits)

1. Adrian Lamo His hits include Yahoo!, Bank of America, Citigroup New York times, Microsoft and Cingular. He operated like Danny Ocean in Ocean’s 11. He’ld tell alert his victims that he was in their systems and they would helplessly do nothing. He was later arrested too.

2. Kevin Mitnick: He is considered the most wanted computer criminal in United States history and some of his feats have been shown in Takedown(2000 movie) and Freedom Downtime(2001). He would hack into computers, steal corporate secrets and scramble phone. He was later apprehended. 

3. Jonathan James: At the age of 16 was imprisoned for hacking into the Defence Reduction agency server. At first it was fun then the sudden urge of wanting to get more. He created a backdoor to the agencies systems which enabled him to read emails and get employee information like usernames and passwords. He also stole software worth upto 1.7million USD from NASA forcing NASA to shut down their systems.

4. Robert Tappan Morris: Known as the creator of Morris Worm, which is the first computer worm on the Internet. The worm as of the time of production, multiplied excessively, causing computers to be very slow to the point of not being able to be used. It affected approximately 6,000 machines. He was apprehended and fined 10,500.USD

5. Kevin Poulsen: aka Dark Dante, hacked the LA radio's phone linesduring a call contest, and won 2 Porsche, 20000USD and an all expense paid trip. He also hacked the FBI to get information during his flee. He was into phone phreaking. He was later on apprehended and served a five years sentence.

Some of these guys started all out of curiosty and couldn’t control the urge of wanting to find out more and the result has been devastating.

Ethical hacking can be learnt even in Universities. High interests in computing or hacking should be used for the good of the public because, Ethical hacking doesn't harm anyone its only meant to correct and point out flaws.

Why some Yahoo! features are better than Google’s

According to alexa.com, Yahoo! is currently the fourth most visited website in the world (the third most visited website in the United States) and that’s a lot of visits and a massively used service. Yahoo! were, in-fact, the Google of 10 years ago and had Google not appeared on the scene, would probably have continued to be the leading search engine on the Internet.

Google handles many of our daily web searching needs including email networking, GoogleDocs and Google AdWords etc. and in our opinion, it’s really good; much better than most other Internet companies. However, there are a select few services that you should always turn to Yahoo! for. Why? Well because these are services that Yahoo! does way better or that Google just simply doesn’t offer.

There are 7 things that Yahoo! does better than Google:

1. Personal Finance: Yahoo! Finance contains a massive amount of original content that easily rivals some of the biggest financial sites in the industry (and that includes sites like CNN Money, TheStreet.com, etc.). The interface is very easy to find your way around and is perfectly accessible to both new investors and longtime financial gurus. If you and your website deal in finances then you MUST reference this excellent tool. Google Finance is coming along, but it just simply isn’t as good.

2. Answers to Questions:: Yahoo! Answers allows users to ask questions or answer other user’s questions; it’s a little bit like a massive forum and it’s a simple concept that works really well for Yahoo! and is a wonderful way to get answers to all your questions very fast. Google has no such active service. The closest competition on the web right now is Ask MetaFilter… also a great question/answer service but Yahoo! Answers is our favorite.

3. Website Backlink Info: Most webmasters like to know exactly how many sites are linking to their various websites. Yahoo! makes this especially easy with their “linkdomain:” search operator. It quickly provides a full list of incoming links to any given domain. Let’s say your domain name is “yourdomain.com”; simply type “linkdomain:yourdomain.com” (without the “s) in to Yahoo! search and you’ll see all the pages that link to any page within your domain. For some reason Google does not publicly disclose this backlink information, but instead provides only a small sample of quality incoming links to a given domain via it’s “link:” search operator. Google does provide the Google Webmaster Tools service that will give you backlink information for a specific domain but only once you sign up and prove to Google that you are the owner of the domain.

4. Image Hosting and Sharing: In the same way that Google purchased YouTube for Web 2.0 video sharing, with its purchase of Flickr, Yahoo! now rules the Web 2.0 photo sharing market and Flickr is currently the king over all the other photo sharing sites out there. It’s fantastic site and very easy to get lost in for an hour or so. A great way to host images for your website and to get some quality links for your website.

5. Local Search: If you are looking for businesses around your town or city, Yahoo! Local is a step ahead of Google. While Google can perform local searches in a variety of different ways through their standard search interface and Google Maps application, Yahoo! Local is a more polished service that puts all local search capabilities on one convenient page. Yahoo! local is sort of like a digital Yellow Pages and listing your business here is a great move.

6. Entertainment Portal: From music to online games to sports, Yahoo! Entertainmentprovides a solid entertainment web portal capable of satisfying all the various entertainment and leisure user demographics. For better or for worst, Google isn’t trying to be an entertainment portal, so it doesn’t even come close to competing with Yahoo! in this regard. Another great resource for those interested in Entertainment.

7. Privacy Policy: Yahoo! is arguably better with the privacy concerns of its users. Certainly this point could be debated in favor of either company, but there seems to be more public controversy surrounding Google’s privacy policies. Like most, we suck it up and use Google’s services anyway but why let Google have access to all your info? Use Yahoo! and this will no longer be a concern to you…
