Why do we read
Why do we read Quran,
even if we can't understand a single Arabic word???? This is a
beautiful story.
An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky
with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the
kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like
him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, 'Grandpa! I try to read the Quran just like
you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon
as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do?'
The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,
'Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of
water.'
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got
back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, 'You'll have to move
a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the river with the basket
to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty
before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it
was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket
instead.
The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.
You're just not trying hard enough,' and he went out the door to watch
the boy try again.
At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his
grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak
out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into
river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket
was again empty. Out of breath, he said, 'See Grandpa, it's useless!'
'So you think it is useless?' The old man said, 'Look at the basket.'
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket
was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and
was now clean, inside and out.
'Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand
or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside
and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.'
If you feel this email is worth reading, please forward to your
contacts/friends.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh & his family) says: *'The one who guides
to good will be rewarded equally'*

Q: How do I make a brute?
A: If you have a friend you should be kind enough to make your first account their pupil. That way they get experience when you register and when you level up. You would go to whargarbllll.mybrute.com(but instead of whargarbllll it would be your friends account name). If you don't have any friends you can sign up under mine or you can go to mybrute.com and create one there.
----------
Q: Why don't pupils I make for my account give me experience?
A: The game tracks you IP Address so that when you make different accounts only the first one will count towards xp. This also means that you can't go to someone who just made you a pupil and make them a pupil b/c it won't give them any experience. So anyone who wants to "trade pupils", there is no point.
----------
Q: How do I get a bear!?!?!?1
A: It's random, just like everything else in the game. When you level up, you may get a bear, or a weapon, or an ability. You can even start with a bear, but it is very rare.
----------
Q: Can I see more than just the last 7 updates/fights in my cell?
A: No.
----------
Q: Do I get experience from tournament fights?
A: No. The only reason to enter a tournament is bragging rights and/or to watch the fights later. If you make it far enough in the tournament you get a trophy rank.
----------
Q: What does strength/agility/speed do?
A: Strength increases the power of your basic attack. Agility increases your chances to dodge. Speed increses how often you attack.
----------
Q: When is reset?
A: Days reset at 6 PM -5GMT
Maintenance at 10PM -5GMT(30 min)

Pilihanraya Kampus UTP
Piliharanya kampus(PRK) sudah hampir kepada penghujungnya dan MPP akan dipilih dalam masa terdekat nih... masing2 berkempen dan dikempen....
Persoalannya... calon ni menang atas kebolehan dia?? kemahuan sekumpulan pelajar?? atau sekadar memenuhkan kekosongan kerusi??
Analisa manifesto PRK calon2 kali ini :
secara umumnya mereka mempunyai hala tuju masing2 setelah menang.. ada yang realistic and ade yg materialistic x kurang yang lebih kepada spastik....
Jauuuuuuuuh dalam hati aku.... ingin mendengar salah satu manifesto yg akan memperjuangkan network UTP... ya. ade yang menyebut.. namun jelas.. beliau sekadar menyebut... namun x paham ape yg disebut hingga perasaan gembira di lubuk hati saya mendengar manifesto beliau bertukar menjadi geram... dia seolah olah memandang enteng manifesto ni.. tanpa membuat kajian terlebih dahulu mengenai isu network... sebagai contoh :
seorang pelajar bertanya kpd calon ni... jd bgaimana dengan network UTP skang.. sgt2 slow.. boleh bagi komen??
Beliau menjawab : ye la kan.. skang komputer kat blok 1 n blok 2 lama2.. pentium pon rendah jer.. tp xpe la.. kite cube untuk improve... beliau ni paham ke ape yg dimaksudkan oleh pelajar tuh atau tidak?? atau calon ni kat bilik pakai proxy x terase masalah network??
Kesimpulannya... manifesto PRK kali ini agak general dan terlampau jauuuuh dr hati pelajar... pelajar mahukan something yang dekat ngan diorang.. Welfare diorang... sebelum kite bercerita mengenai isu external soal pasaran kerja atau pun tidak.. kite perlu memastikan pelajar2 kite bersedia atau mampu untuk bersaing dahulu..
Ini asyik plagirism jer.... alasan tenet slow la...jadi kite cube dahulu atasi masalah ini... biar diorang wat research banyak2.. and pandai googling.. bukan sekadar asking dan menunggu jer..Kepada kumpulan atau organisasi tertentu... sekiranya anda mempunyai wakil drpd organisasi anda... pilihla yang terbaik.... dan buktikan kepada umum yang anda bukan bersikap racist.. namun sememagnya calon drpd anda selayaknya... memang perlu dlm bertadning kene ade kumpulan.. namun biar btol2 adil dan x menindas yang ingin juga berjuang...
Kepada yang down, anda dah pilih jalan ini... mengapa perlu give up??? adakah pemimpin seperti ini yg perlu saya pilih? tepuk dada tanyer kepimpinan diri sendiri...
kIta perlu pecahkan kepompong keselesaan kita nih.... Kepada calon2 yg bertanding... buat lah yang terbaik.. anda mampu mengubahnya sekiranya niat anda btol2...
Semakin tinggi kita berada... Semakin jelas kelemahan kita...
BIar sederhana, janji bermakna,
Jangan banyak, tapi sekadar pada nama.
Sekian dahulu, wassalam.

User's guide to avoid virus infections
Keeping an eye out for viruses
Computer viruses are everywhere! This guide will show you how to stay alert and how to avoid getting infections on your computer. Having an updated virus scanner is only a small part of this, there are many ways that you can prevent having viruses other than a virus scanner, as it will not always save you.
Types of viruses
There are many type of viruses. Typical viruses are simply programs or scripts that will do various damage to your computer, such as corrupting files, copying itself into files, slowly deleting all your hard drive etc. This depends on the virus. Most viruses also mail themselves to other people in the address book. This way they spread really fast and appear at others' inboxes as too many people still fall for these. Most viruses will try to convince you to open the attachment, but I have never got one that tricked me. In fact, I found myself emailing people just to make sure they really did send me something. It does not hurt to be safe.
Worms
Worms are different type of viruses, but the same idea, but they are usually designed to copy themselves a lot over a network and usually try to eat up as much bandwidth as possible by sending commands to servers to try to get in. The code red worm is a good example of this. This worm breaks in a security hole in Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server) in which is a badly coded http server that, despite the security risks, a lot of people use it. When the worm successfully gets in, it will try to go into other servers from there. When IceTeks was run on a dedicated server at my house, there was about 10 or so attempts per day, but because we ran Apache, the attempts did not do anything but waste bandwidth and not much as I had it fixed a special way. Some worms such as the SQL slammer will simply send themselves over and over so many times that they will clog up networks, and sometimes all of the internet. Worms usually affect servers more than home users, but again, this depends on what worm it is. It is suspected that most worms are efforts from the RIAA to try to stop piracy, so they try to clog up networks that could contain files. Unfortunately, the RIAA have the authority to do these damages and even if caught, nothing can be done.
Trojans
Trojans are another type of virus. They are simply like a server in which enables hackers to get into and control the computer. A trojan such as Subseven can enable a hacker to do various things such as control the mouse, eject the cd-rom drive, delete/download/upload files and much more.
MBR virues
Boot sector viruses are another type, they are similar to file viruses, but instead they go in the boot sector and can cause serious damage when the computer is booted, some can easily format your drive simply by booting your computer. These are hard to remove.
Most viruses have various characteristics. For example, a worm can also be a trojan and also infect the boot sector. It all depends on how the virus is written and what it is designed to do. That's why there are not really strong structured categories, as they can easily mix one in the other.
Know the potentially dangerous files
Like any other files, viruses must be opened in order to do something. Most viruses come through e-mail as an attachment. Some will make it look like it's someone you know, and it will try to convince you to open an attachment. Never open attachments at any cost! Some viruses will infect files in programs, so opening a program will actually open the virus, maybe the same one, or another part of it.
All files have what is called an extension; This is the 3 last letters after the last period. For example, setup.exe has a file extension of .exe.
Extensions to watch out for are .exe .com .bat .scr .pif .vbs and others, but these are the most seen. .exe .com .bat .pif and .scr are valid extensions for executables. A virus writer will simply rename it to one of these and it will work the same way. .pif is a shortcut to an ms-dos program and will have the ms dos icon, but will still execute whatever code is in it, so an .exe can be renamed to .pif and be run the same way. .bat is a batch file, which can contain instructions to do various file activities, but again, a .exe can be renamed to .bat and it will execute it! .vbs is a visual basic script. For some reason, Microsoft provides this scripting language along with the scripting host to make it more convenient to design and write viruses quickly and easily, I've never seen another use for this scripting language other than for writing viruses. There are programs that are written with that language, but it is compiled into an exe. Exe is the usual extension for programs, you would not have a software CD install a bunch of vbs files all over!
Bottom line is, if you don't know what a file is just don't open it. Some viruses will sometimes be named a way as to mask the real file extension to make it look like a harmless file such as a image file. This is easily noticed, but can still be missed. Simply don't open unexpected files.
If you get something that appears like something legit, just ask the person it came from if they sent it. Most viruses use a friend's address to make it look like it comes from them. The virus does this by using the person's address when sending itself to the address book contacts.
Downloads
Email is not the only way to get viruses; P2P (file sharing programs such as kazaa, winmx, direct connect etc) is also another way to get viruses.
When downloading programs, the main thing to watch out for is the file size. If you are downloading a program that you expect to be rather large such as a game, don't grab a file that is 10KB, since it's most likely a virus. However, I've been caught with a virus even with large files, so file size is not the only thing to watch, as an exe is still valid even if junk is added at the end, so a 64KB virus will still function even if it is turned into 650MB.
Icons are something to look for too, fortunately, virus writers don't take time to put icons. If your download should be a setup file, you should see the icon of a setup file. If it's just the blank icon that typical plain or corrupted exes have, don't open it.
Another thing to do, which should be obvious, is to scan the file for viruses using updated virus definitions. But don't rely on only your virus scanner, as they are not perfect, and if the virus has not been reported to them yet, they won't know to create a definition for it!
Changing settings to stay safe
If you do open a virus, you want to avoid it going to all your friends. The simplest thing to do is to NOT use the windows address book. It is easy for viruses to get through and Microsoft is not doing anything about it. Just don't use it. Put them in spreadsheet or even better write them down somewhere. Don't use the address book.
Another "feature" to avoid is the auto preview. Some viruses can attempt to open themselves just by opening the email. There are security holes in Microsoft mail programs that allow this. In Microsoft Outlook, click on the view menu and remove auto preview. You need to do this for every folder, but the inbox is most important. In Outlook Express, click on the view menu and go to layout. In the dialog box, you will see a check box for show preview pane. Uncheck it and click ok.
Another thing you should change, especially if you download a lot, is the option that allows you to view the file extension. In Win98, go in any folder, click on view then folder options and choose the view tab and where it says hide file extension for known types, uncheck it. In win2k, it is the same process, but instead, go in the control panel and open the folder options icon.
Avoiding server worms
Some viruses, mostly worms, can exploit through servers and affect other servers from servers that have been infected. A good example is the SQL slammer. This was a worm that affected SQL servers run by Microsoft IIS and Microsoft SQL Server. Once the worm gets in, that particular server starts trying to find more exploitable driving internet connections to a halt in the process. Servers running Apache were unaffected by that, except for the many hits to try to get in. IceTeks received about 100 hits per day when it was run on a dedicated home server. Most hits came from major ISPs and other big websites that had no clue they were still affected.
The simple solution to avoid these types of viruses is to NOT use Microsoft based server software for your server, especially if it is a public server. The operating system is also crucial, but the actual server software is much more. Apache, which is free, is much more secure than Microsoft based server programs such as IIS. IIS may be easier to understand and administer, but it saves a lot of hassle to learn how to use Apache. IIS has a large number of vulnerabilities, such as the ability to gain access to cmd.exe and basically delete the whole drive by doing a ../ request in the address bar. These don't require viruses, but simply commands, but there are worms written to automatically make these commands. The code red does this.
Removing a virus
The best way to do this is to do a clean install. However, depending on how bad the virus is, a simple clean install won't remove it. So to be extra sure, you'll want to do a low level format. This is especially true of you got a boot sector virus, as even repartitioning and formatting won't quite remove it, but sometimes you can get away with an fdisk /mbr, but not all the time. here are various removal tools for viruses, it is good to use them and see if they work, but proceeding with the clean install is recommended. You never know if the virus is completely removed by deleting files you suspect are infected. Some viruses such as the Bugbear will close anti virus programs and other programs to make it hard and annoying to figure out what to do. A clean install is the best way to ensure that it's gone for good.
Viruses are out there, don't be one of the many infected ones! Stay alert and stay safe! Don't open unexpected files, regularly update your virus definitions and scan downloaded files!
