If you think you were the most overconfident person in this world... you are wrong! 'cause you'll always be less than me... this is the only reason for my problems, trying to reduce it now. Well, God, this time i seriously need your help.

A Thought About Nothing...

I still remember (although not exactly) that line in that famous book: Fundamentals of Physics, by ‘Halliday, Resnik and Walker’ which actually tried to explain the way earth originated... And I am, by birth much conscious about those topics:

“

Now since our universe is said to be expanding, let us try to go to the time, when our universe was a very tiny lump of extremely dense matter. Now if you think yourself to be standing somewhere outside and watching this all activities, then, to remind you once again, let me tell you, that there is no ‘outside’ where you can stand and watch, ‘cause that lump is the universe
itself!!

“

Well... then the book started explaining things about how the big bang took place and how earth came into existence... anyway these things are good but the sentence above which is absolutely correct and contains nothing so special made me to think about it for that amount of time in which i would have easily been able to study the full chapter (I’ll discuss about this later in this post). :)

I can think about almost annnnnything whenever i am kind of sedative (‘nnnnnnn’ was to stress the word any !!) and the topic for that day was universe... how did it actually start, and where will it go eventually... well, then i thought about our galaxy and the solar system (offff...slow internet browsers are a hell lot of annoying to me :( ) and then about the species which occupied our habitat millions of years before our birth... the Dinosaurs, well, dinosaurs then mammoth and ultimately the humans...even we’ll be finished some day. Now when all these comes to my mind, i just think that why the hell are we doing what we are presently doing... our significance in this whole universe is less than nothing... or mathematically, less than even h% (for non-mathematicians, ‘h’ is assumed to be the smallest ever number in magnitude, which has infinite ’zeroes’ after the decimal point and a ‘one’ written after it) well, we all are aware of our position... and even significance in this universe, so, still we think of being the first in class, doing a job with the greatest package, becoming a film star, helping the people more than Gandhi, becoming the greatest businessman of all time, and all that stuffs... why? Will it really matter or bother you after you are dead... i don’t think so. Now if you answer that you do it for your future generations than you toh were not able to understand me.


And to all those believers of god, (before going any further, i would like to say that even i believe in god and question that follows is for me too) please tell me where actually was he when there were dinosaurs swirling around the globe; or there were ‘dinosaurs god’ at that time, who weren’t able to do anything when they became extinct? All these questions make even me feel the nothingness of god. Oh god... please answer these questions before people lose faith in you!


Even our science is not so good that we go to search the places for more lives in the universe. And each scientist has his own views on what is beyond the universe... well, everything has an end, but what about the universe? What is beyond it? Solid matters packed or nothing? Nothing means vacuum and if it is so, why isn’t it counted IN the universe, no one will be able to think something which contains nothing... not even vacuum, it sounds absurd, but that IS the thing beyond the universe, and if our universe was a small lump of heavily dense matter some time ago, it makes me easier to think, but still without any answer. Samajh me nahi aata hai ki ye saale scientists aakhir kar kya rahe hain :)

URL Shortner

So, here am i with some more geekish things... not actually geekish for all, especially for them who generally twitter and all those things!!

Most of you would have seen messy urls like the one when you use your orkut account, or facebook, or going so deep in wikipedia, or something sorta... what if you want to share that laaaaaaaaaarge url with your friends, especially what if you wanna write that url into his hand or his register (with his pen... :) anywys, that dosent matters), so here the problem comes, so no need to fear when i'm here !!!, just go to:
http://is.gd or:
http://bit.ly
and in no time, they will shorten your url and give you a shorter version which will, obviously be very easy to write in a register or hand or nywher u like. enjoy!!
but always remember, the urls in there are "CASE SENSITIVE"
bye &
take care
will soon be back with some more tricks!!

The "conio.h" Problems ::

Well, to be frank, i dont have a good internet connection that i can always go to any one of the it discussion forums and clear my programming doubts, instead i am a kind of lazy person, so i always use the 'default' thing, i mean google, and after all, i assume that the problem which i am facing now would have been really faced by someone or the other while he was a newbie in programming. And fortunately, my assumption always goes correct. That's something good.

Anyways, when i switched myself from Boroland C++ to the Dev version, the biggest problem i faced was of the conio.h header file, someone who is just aware of programming will surely know what exactly i am talking about. This header is just a part of the boroland thing and is never a standard one, so if you want to use one, you must either download it or just use its replacements:

for

clrscr();

you can use

system("cls");

and for

getch();

you can use

std::cin.get();

although you may not feel much comfortable with the getch replacement, clrscr replacement will help you in the same way as did the original command.
enjoy..

THE GOTO COMMAND GUIDE::

int main()
{
char choice;

top: // goto label

cout << "Hello World!" <<>

cout << "Do again? (y/n)" <<>> choice;
cout <<>

if (choice == 'y')
goto top; // goto statement

return 0;
}

There's a religious battle amongst computer scientists regarding the use of the goto statement. Some say yes, some say no -- it is possible that the use of gotos can make code unbelievably difficult to read. The term spaghetti junction is used to describe confusing code that is written with goto statements. I won't say that I'm for or against it. I use it sparingly and I use it when I see that it is fit to do so.

Well the decision is urs, but this is it...

Still Thinking Virus Is Present ??

You’ve received a file from a friend but you’re unsure if the file is safe to open or not. You launch your AntiVirus program to scan and found no problem with it. You’re still scared because that friend of yours is very untrustworthy and you know that you can’t 100% trust antivirus programs as they rely on definitions to detect known viruses. New viruses are growing exponentially every year and it is possible to not have a definition in time to properly diagnose a dangerous line of code. You thought of maybe installing 2 or more antivirus on your computer might give you better protection. You’re WRONG! It is advisable to ONLY install ONE antivirus program on a computer because more than that can cause conflicts.

So you can’t install more than 1 antivirus program and you can’t 100% trust your antivirus. Here’s the solution.
What if you can scan the file that your friend sent you using 30 different types of anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware and anti-hacker engines listed below? Now you can with VirusTotal! Thanks to Hispasec Sistemas, Virustotal offers a free service for scanning suspicious files using several antivirus engines. No download, license or installation needed. Simply upload the file or files that you want to scan and you’ll be in queue for a while depending on the VirusTotal server load to start scanning and display the result.

â—� ALWIL (Avast! Antivirus)
â—� Authentium (Command Antivirus)
â—� Avira (AntiVir)
â—� Bit9 (FileAdvisor)
â—� Cat Computer Services (Quick Heal)
â—� ClamAV (ClamAV)
â—� CA Inc. (Vet)
â—� Doctor Web, Ltd. (DrWeb)
â—� Eset Software (NOD32)
â—� ewido networks (ewido anti-malware)
â—� Fortinet (Fortinet)
â—� FRISK Software (F-Prot)
â—� F-Secure (F-Secure)
â—� Grisoft (AVG)
â—� Hacksoft (The Hacker)
â—� Ikarus Software (Ikarus)
â—� Kaspersky Lab (AVP)
â—� McAfee (VirusScan)
â—� Microsoft (Malware Protection)
â—� Norman (Norman Antivirus)
â—� Panda Software (Panda Platinum)
â—� Prevx (Prevx1)
â—� Softwin (BitDefender)
â—� Sophos (SAV)
â—� Sunbelt Software (Antivirus)
â—� Symantec (Norton Antivirus)
â—� UNA Corp (UNA)
â—� VirusBlokAda (VBA32)
â—� VirusBuster (VirusBuster)

You’d feel safe after scanning with all these 30 types of antivirus engines isn’t it? If one can’t do it, definitely 30 of them can! However, Virustotal does not substitute any antivirus software installed in a PC, as it only scans individual files on demand. It does not offer permanent protection for the user’s system either. Although the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee the harmlessness of a file. Currently, there is not any solution that offers a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware.

Other than uploading through VirusTotal website, you can also scan file by using email.
1. Create a new message with scan@virustotal.com as destination address of your email.
2. Write SCAN in the Subject field (write SCAN- if you do not want to distribute your sample to any AV company).
3. Attach the file to be scanned. Such file must not exceed 10 MB in size. If the attached file is larger, the system will reject it automatically.
4. You will receive an email with a report of the file analysis. Response time will vary depending on the load of the system at the time of placing your request.

I did a test by placing 3 viruses into a ZIP file and upload to VirusTotal for scanning. FileAdvisor wasn’t able to scan compressed file because it reports “no virus found“. As for the rest, it only reports 1 virus and not 3.

MIT blocks MIT

Wow, our college has a really good blocker...
i am able to access blogger, but not manipal.edu, awesome!!
here's the image >>

The College

Manipal Institute Of Technology or MIT as it is called by students here. This is actually my college, now since i am in this college, i am bound not to speak anything bad for it, and anyways, i wont even speak, because on the wthole, i'll say that the college is good (well, everyone regrets they weren't in IITs) so, writing things like this college is the best, or like we have loosed nothing but IITs have loosed something by rejecting us is nothing less than a joke!! (you will find KIIT students repeating this slogans) but yeah, at-least some of us has the potential to compete with those guys (or even gals!!). And the ragging thing, sometimes i think there suspension of seniors as a step against ragging was something very fake, because as the senior's classes started, there was a notice in fine white photo paper hung in our notice board saying 16 students (mostly guys) are suspended from the institute, and what, as a punishment, they were debarred from the campus placements (well, is there any??) i dont think such a punishment is required at all. All the juniors at this time were seen like joyful, without thinking the literal meaning of the sentence. They will NOT get any job after they go out of the college, as graduates, and that to just because they slapped two or three first years!! Awesome, thats fantastic. There are many things in this college which really must be eradicated, but the system behaves as they never even saw that!! And doing something for a small deed was unexpected. But, still i'll surely say MY COLLEGE IS THE BEST ONE voooho!!!
