image converter

Why should someone go for a paid software or free for a limited time with a restriction that it cannot be upgraded in future (or pay for it if you need to upgrade) when freewares are there in the cyberworld (with a lot of better and powerful options)?

Singapore Population

In 2009:

Singapore total population: 5 million
Singapore residents: 3.7 million. (Sg residents includes PR and Citizens)
Singapore citizens: 3.17 million (Out of 3.7 million, 0.53 million are PRs who are not Sg citizens)

Source: http://www.singstat.gov.sg/stats/keyind.html

That means currently only 63% of people in Singapore are local citizens.

However, this figure does not include transient tourists to Singapore. Currently, around 1 million tourists visit Singapore every month. So basically, at any time in Singapore, we have around 6 million people total, of which 3.17 million are citizens.

Source: https://www.stbtrc.com.sg/images/lin...ics_2008v3.pdf

That means that at any one time, only 52.3% of people in Singapore are Singapore citizens. Which means if you walk on the streets, around 1 out of every 2 person is a foreigner.


The superbug flu has landed in europe and claimed its first victim! Do not go to crowded places,Play safe,stay at home.Read this at http://news.xin.msn.com/en/world/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4268105 .A stroke is still a stroke. Life must go on.

Disllusion

---Quote (Originally by Aussie Prick)---
The ex-Singaporeans in Australia will never be open and forthcoming about the racism, high costs, and police state life they have in Australia. They are not just afraid, they have lost face.

People like Neddy, etc are still very much Singaporean struggling to survive in a Western Culture that they cant adapt too.:D Its quite sad this psychological problem they have, they must be very unhappy.

---End Quote---

For a better Tomorrow ~~

Never explain yourself to any one.
Because the person who likes you doesn’t need it,
And the person who dislikes you won’t believe it.

When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free.
When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time.
When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come.


When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices.
Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.

The choice is yours…

We make them cry who care for us.
We cry for those who never care for us.

This is the truth of life, its strange but true.
Once you realise this, its never too late to change.


Don’t make promise when you are in joy.
Don’t reply when you are sad.
Don’t take decision when you are angry.
Thing twice.. Act Wise.


Time is like a river.

You cannot touch the same water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Enjoy every moment of life…
First I was dying to finish my high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
Then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could go back to work.

But then I was dying to retire.
And now I’m dying.
And suddenly I realized I forgot to live.

Please don’t let this happen to you. Appreciate your current situation and enjoy each day.

Remote control software

1 : LogMeIn Free
The name might be LogMeIn, but the motto should be SignMeUp.

The fact that it’s free to use for multiple remote PCs, with reasonable monthly plans if you need more–five computers for $20 per month or $200 per year–makes this remote-access program instantly appealing. The program differs from its competitors in that the application runs in your Web browser. If you’re running Firefox, it asks to install a plug-in and then opens an emulator of the remote PC in a new window. If you have a lot of tabs open, LogMeIn will slow down your browsing and possibly your CPUs clock speed a bit.

2 : TeamViewer 5.0.8081
Short Review From Cnet
TeamViewer is an excellent screen-sharing and file-transfer app that can be used to facilitate business collaborations as well as helping distraught relatives diagnose and cure computer problems. Along with being free for noncorporate use, it gives users precisely the tools they need to share screens securely, send files with a minimum of hassle, control access rights, and even flip which user has control.

3 :NetMan 5.59

Netman is a high security and user-friendly remote control software that is free. As high security software it adopts the DSE encrypt mode generally used by banks which is safe and reliable. You can also set treble password to ensure the safety. Moreover, you can start your computer remotely when it’s needed; log it off when you finish remote working

I Think The Best Software Is TeamViewer , Fast , and Secure .

Baby born with tail

Surgeons in China have operated to remove a five inch tail from a four-month-old baby girl.

The little girl, called Hong Hong, was born with the tail but it had since doubled in size, reports the Anhui Market Daily.

Her father, Hou, of Lixing town in eastern China's Anhui province, said he had been "shocked" to see the tail at birth.

"I wanted to cut it off when she was born, but doctors suggested we wait some time, as a newborn is too weak to take such a surgery," he said.

He checked the tail each day, hoping it would get smaller but instead it just "grew bigger and bigger", he added.

Doctors at the Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital said they too had been surprised by the case.

"It's very rare, about one in a million. We have never seen anything like this before," said Dr Sun Jun.

X-rays had shown that the tail was connected to a fatty tumor within the spinal column.

Dr Sun said the surgery had been successful, but it was still too early to say whether further treatment would be necessary.

External USB Hard Drive and RECYCLED folder problem

How to remove the "RECYCLER" folder on an external hard drive?

Right click on the Recycle Bin, select Properties, select Configure Drives Independently, then set Maximum Size of Recycle Bin to 0% on the drives where you want to eliminate the RECYCLER folder.

[Virus] System Volume Information

The System Volume Information folder is used by Windows XP for storing data on system configuration and is also used by the System Restore tool to store information and restore points.
Restore points allows you to return to the previous configuration that preceded the installation of a driver or program.
Learn more: Managing Windows Restore Points
Normally the access to the System Volume Information folder is locked, but a virus can work around that.
The unlock procedure varies depending on the version of Windows XP used, disk format or network configuration.

As an example, here is the path of a virus found in the System Volume Information folder:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{4E170950-50E0-453F-B281-59338F8EC32E}\RP16\A0003104.exe





Cleaning up the System Volume Information from viruses:

Right click on My Computer select the Properties Option.
Go to the System Restore sub menu.
Deactivate the Turn off System Restore on all drives and validate by clicking on the Ok button.

A message will inform the removal of all existing restore points.
Confirm with "Yes".

Reactivate the Turn off System Restore on all drives option and create a new restore point.
Your problem should be over.

XP Service Pack 3 Set-Up X Access Denied.

While YOU downloading Service Pack 3 got this message:

Service Pack 3 Set-Up X Access Denied.

The problem may be with the xp registry on your computer. I found the following fix that worked:

1. Make a backup of your registry.
2. Download and install subinacl.exe.
3. Create a file called reset.cmd with Notepad. Copy the text below into the file reset.cmd and run reset.cmd with administrative rights (it may take a LONG time):

cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
