PRICELESS WORDS

A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table. "Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping
Love You!"

Totally shocked with the note , he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, "Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door". Confused, the man asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me? I should expect a big quarrel with her!" His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off, you said, "LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M MARRIED!"

Moral
Self-induced hangover - $ 400.00
Broken crockery - $ 800.00
Breakfast - $ 10.00
Saying the Right Thing While Drunk – "PRICELESS "

There are truly some things that both money and Mastercard can't buy

The True Meaning of LOVE

My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders. Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness. . . I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love. One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

"Why?" he asked, shocked. "I am tired, there are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered. He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can't even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him? And finally he asked me:" What can I do to change your mind?" Somebody said it right, it's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him. Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered : "Here is the question, if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you do it for me?" He said :" I will give you your answer tomorrow.... " My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....

My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further.." This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading. "When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.

You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way.

You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy. You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.

You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails,and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand... and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die.. "My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting. .... and as I continue on reading...

"Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...

I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread...... Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...

That's life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.. . flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... and that's our life... Love, not words win arguments...

PHP5 Support along with PHP4

PHP5 Support along with PHP4; the following are the steps to run php5+gd+mysql support (with the default install of php4) working with Plesk 8.2.0 and Non-Plesk hosted sites on RHEL 4.

1.1. Install GD support for PHP5.

a) # mkdir /usr/local/php5libpng
b) # cd /usr/local/php5libpng
c) # wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libpng/libpng-1.2.8-config.tar.gz
d) # tar -zxvf libpng-1.2.8-config.tar
e) # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5libpng --exec-prefix=/usr/local/php5libpng
f) # make
g) # make install

1.2. Check for this packages or install it.

a) mysql-devel
b) libjpeg-devel

1.3. Download and Install PHP.

a) # mkdir /usr/local/php5
b) # cd /usr/local/php5
c) # wget http://museum.php.net/php5/php-5.1.4.tar.gz
d) # tar -zxvf php-5.1.2.tar

e) # ./configure --host=i386-redhat-linux --build=i386-redhat-linux --target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --exec-prefix=/usr/local/php5 --program-suffix=5 --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-discard-path --enable-exif --enable-ftp --with-curl --with-bz2 --enable-memory-limit --enable-inline-optimization --with-openssl --with-png --with-regex=system --with-xml --with-zlib --enable-sockets --enable-mbstring=shared --enable-mbstr-enc-trans --with-png-dir=/usr/local/php5libpng --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/php5libjpeg --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-mysql --with-gmp --with-iconv --enable-magic-quotes --enable-calendar --enable-dbx --enable-dio --enable-libxml --enable-session --with-pcre-regex --enable-xml --enable-simplexml --enable-spl --enable-sigchild --enable-soap --enable-zend-multibyte --with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos --enable-fastcgi

f) # make
g) # make install

2. Now go to the root folder of the domain and configure php5 as default php application. Create the file vhost.conf with the following in it for each site running in PHP5:

a) # cd /var/www/vhosts/domain-name/conf/
b) # vi vhost.conf and add the following lines.

AddHandler fcgid-script .php5 .php
SuexecUserGroup psacln

FCGIWrapper /var/www/vhosts/domain-name/bin/php5 .php
FCGIWrapper /var/www/vhosts/domain-name/bin/php5 .php5
Options ExecCGI
allow from all

Save and exit with ":wq".

Note1: for replacing string in vi editor use the command: [:n,$s/string/newstring/g] - Where 'n' will replace with the starting line NO.

c) # cd /var/www/vhosts/domain-name/
d) # mkdir bin
e) # chown ftpuser.psaserv bin
f) # cd bin
g) # cp /usr/local/php5/bin/php5 php5
h) # chown ftpuser,psacln php5
i) # chmod 755 php5 (optional if the permission is wrong)

Note2: PHP5 needs to be copied and run locally, since otherwise you get issues with suexec. If you have problems run cat /var/log/httpd/suexec_log and check any errors.

3. Reconfigure domain with PHP5

a) Run: # /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.com
b) # service httpd restart

Recheck with "phpinfo" as it is properly configure or not.

Minux...Sometimes spelled MINIX

Minux is an open source operating system with a user interface similar to that of Unix. Professor Andrew Tanenbaum, of Vrije University in Amsterdam, created Minux as an educational tool. To this end, Minux was developed with a small and well-documented microkernel-based design. The complete source code was made available with the system.

To learn the inner workings of Unix-like systems, students can run Minux on their personal computers. According to reports, even inexperienced students can acquire a good knowledge of the whole system within the few months of study typical of training courses. The best known student user of Minux was Linus Torvalds, who, at the Helsinki in Finland, used the Minux platform on which to build the kernel for a new operating system, which he called Linux.

A Mother's Sacrifice A Very Heart Touching and Inspirational Story!...

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell... anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment. There was this one day during elementary school.
I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.

I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.

Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.

That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.

Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.

This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!" ...It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.

And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!" as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared. Thank good ness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.

Then a wave of relief came upon me...one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.

She wrote:
My son...
I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit Seoul anymore... but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.

You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye... so I gave you mine...I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.

I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me.
My world shattered!!!

Then I cried for the person who lived for me... My Mother

Linus Torvalds - The creator of the Linux Kernel.

Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, was born in Helsinki, Finland, on December 28, 1969. When Linus was ten years old, his grandfather, a statistics professor at University of Helsinki, purchased a Commodore VIC-20 computer. Linus served as an assistant to his grandfather by entering data into his grandfather's "programmable calculator" and, just for fun, taught himself some simple BASIC programs by reading the instruction books that came with the computer. By the time he registered as a computer science student at the University of Helsinki, Linus Torvalds was an accomplished programmer.

In 1991, after taking a course in Unix and C, Torvalds bought his own personal computer (PC). He was unhappy with the operating system that came with the computer (MS-DOS) and decided to write his own. Torvalds became interested in Minix, a small Unix-like operating system developed for educational purposes by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, a Dutch professor who wanted to teach his students the inner workings of a real operating system. Minix was designed to run on Intel 8086 microprocessors and had source code that was readily available for study. Torvalds decided to develop an operating system that exceeded the Minix standards. He called it Linux, a contraction for Linus' Minix.

Linus Torvalds did not copyright his computer code. Instead, he published his code on the Internet and asked members of the comp.os.minix newsgroup to help him build his operating system. On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds posted this famous message:

Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.

Linus Torvalds credits much of the success of his operating system to the Internet and to Richard Stallman's GNU project. Torvalds and his co-developers made use of the system components developed by members of the Free Software Foundation for the GNU project. The open-source philosophy behind the development of Linux, combined with the success of the operating system, has made Linus Torvalds into what can arguably be called a "cult figure." Unlike Windows and other proprietary operating systems, Linux remains publicly open and extendible by contributers. Anyone can use it without charge as long as any improvements they make are not copyrighted and remain freely available. At present, it's estimated that only 2% of Linux code today was written by Linus Torvalds himself, although he still "owns" the Linux kernel (the central part of the operating system) and remains the ultimate judge of what new code and innovations are incorporated into it.

After spending 10 years as a student and researcher at the University of Helsinki coordinating the development of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds accepted a job with Transmeta, a Silicon Valley start-up company known for its recruitment of high profile talent and its Crusoe chip. He is married and has two daughters.

"I Dont hate Mozilla but use IE or Else" virus…

"I Dont hate Mozilla but use IE or Else" virus…

...Few days back when i tried to open mozilla firefox I got a message "I Dont hate mozilla but use IE or Else"… this was my first encounter with a virus… My antiVirus couldn't detect it…

I went through google…. and finaly found a solution for this virus. Which had blocked my mozilla firefox but IE was accessible. Below are the steps to kill the virus is…

1. Go to Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
2. in that click on Process Tab
3. Delete only the svchost.exe of your user name
4. type c:\heap41a in you address bar of your explorer and you can trace this folder
5. Now give a smile… you have done it….


I heard these days virus are spreading through USBs. So one precaution measure would be to disable the auto run feature in the system. How to do this ? follow the simple steps:

1. Click Start -> Run.
2. Type RegEdit in the Open text box, then press ENTER.
3. In the Registry Editor, locate and click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

1. Modify the value of the Autorun to 0 (zero) so that CD-ROMs and Audio CDs do not run and start automatically when inserted.
2. Next navigate to the following registry subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

1. Modify the value of the NoDriveTypeAutoRun entry to 0xb5 value to turn off the AutoRun feature for CD-ROMs by right-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun and then click Modify to type B5 in the Value data box. Select Hexadecimal, and then

click OK.
2. Quit Registry Editor.
3. Restart your computer.
