Cyberwar

People don't realise two things: how much power is in their hands and how cool Cyberwars are.

What if we could swap actual wars, so armed fights in land, physically involving our  men, for cyberwars, so electrical wars, involving no human being, in Virtual Space Arenas?

Perhaps, to the evil side, there is a major concern involving power, gas, nuclear generators, satellite and the alike.

Notwithstanding, in the era of Stuxnet and Shamoon, where are the World Cup flags?

It is necessary that the media tell us what Country is winning. 

In the picture below, Symantec is still the most Christian, but what is its t-shirt, whose flag does it carry; and what language do its main cheerleaders speak?

That would be a way of immediately finding out what Country is best, first, or most helpful to human kind as a whole.

Google Groups: A Detail

In the non-IT world, someone created this joke: What is it that everyone can see but God can't? 

The answer?

A similar creature!

In IT: What is it that lets you see everyone else but not yourself?

The answer?

Google Groups!

I was using, for the first time, Google Groups. Michael Z., my fellow in the endeavor, patiently explained this to me as I panicked and said: Jee, I am not in the group because my name does not appear and I see 3 but we are four.

Images and Websites

I was trying to publish a picture through a platform that is not yet completely IT friendly. That is when I found out that we can store pictures online for free, get a link to them for free and then insert that link in our code. At least two Internet sites will help you with this: http://www.imagehosting.com/ and http://imageshack.us/

Something to Try if Your Internet Led is Off

In case you lose your Internet connection, it is always worth it trying to reconfigure the modem. Every modem/router has an IP address. You will find that in the manual or on the modem/router itself. NBN modems could have that information on a label inside of the gap. You get those numbers and dots and type them inside of your address bar. That should give you access to the modem page. Now, you probably just have to enter your username/login and password for the provider. Even if the led for the Internet is off, this solution might work. Just give it a go before trying to, for instance, reinstall the operational system or reformat your computer.

Where do All the Movies Go in Windows?

I used an application (called Camera) that comes with my MS Windows and using it was easy but, when I tried to retrieve the movie itself, it all became something like Mission Impossible.

I finally found the answer: Found!

Basically, they all go to the folder called Pictures, inside of the subfolder called Camera Roll. Just look there and you will see them all, I promise you. 

The application is interesting because, different from the others, you do not need to save the movies after you record them, it suffices pressing the red button. In compensation... .

Windows 10: Updates, Turn Off, How

These guys rock: Solution to Updating

Yet another solution involves unrestraining your Windows\SysWoW64 and your Windows\System32.

The instructions on the link allow you to stop the disgraceful, and possibly harmful, definitely harmful in my case (had to reinstall the system several times for receiving bugs together with the updates), updates forever. Yes, we have beaten the MS bastards (I chatted with them and they told me that it was impossible to turn off the option updates. I know, I know what you will say: At least it is free to ask questions to MS. Yes, with that, we have to agree: It would definitely be worse if we had to pay for it)!

MS Windows 10 and Updates

I just had to address a problem that happened to a MS client: They wanted to get rid of MS updates because they deeply believed that those were bringing problems to their computer systems each, and every, time. That is when I contacted MS and they let me know that we cannot turn off updates in this version (MS Windows 10).

Well, MS was prosecuted in the past for issues like this and it looks like we need to do that again: Australia has privacy laws in place. Our computers are ours, so that who has to decide on whether we get something or not is us, not them. I think they are once more working inside of illegality and this person has deep beliefs that they might even be being targeted by a certain class of people working at MS at this stage, given the so many problems that come associated with their updates, repeated instances. 

Whoever has the time, not sure about bucks, but it always ends up in the press, so that it must be at least good publicity, especially if it is an IT company that does that, please do it in the name of all of us, mortals.

Can`t Run Chkdsk

I called MS and all on this one, so listen to me: Don`t call them. They will even ask to enter your computer but things are realistically quite simple if your problem is the same that I had: I was at the DOS terminal and I typed the standard thing, so that I typed chkdsk/f/r. I got a mistake. I saw NFTS on my screen and the computer saying that it could not run the command because it was locked. I then did not get the standard message, where we have an option to choose to run the command on reboot and that is when I got worried. 

MS will tell you to do the unimaginable. Don`t try them if that is your problem. Simply realize that you are in the wrong drive. In my case, all I had to do was literally typing C: and repeating the command, believe it or not. 


At that height, the MS guy had already convinced me to even format a USB with the NFTS option, believe it or not.

Windows 10 and Boot Issues

If your computer is freezing at the boot and you are not succeeding in going beyond the troubleshooting screen, like you have tried all options there and nothing works, you can try the freezers page here, and all those strategies, including chkdsk, and, if that still doesn't work, you will probably need to reinstall Windows 10. The good news is that MS became smarter on this version, as if it had been my suggestion, and you now do not need to format your disk again. The bad news is that you may end up losing all your files and programs for simply forgetting to unplug your USB after it is reinstalled. I have just done that! Poor me!

To make a USB that you can use for that purpose, you go to the own MS, and get a program called Media Creation Tool: Media Creation

You will need a blank USB disk of at least 4 Gb. It will probably take you 30 minutes after you have downloaded and installed the tool to get the USB ready for action.

Suppressing Page Numbers: MS Word

Basically, go to the page that precedes the page whose number you intend to suppress, choose the tab that says Page Layout, position your cursor in the end of the text of the page that precedes the page you want to change, make sure you are not inside of the footer, put the cursor over Breaks and, as it expands, choose Next. Only that action should already solve your problem. If if doesn't, then you will probably succeed after watching this video: Video

Formula that Escapes the Intended Margins

Latex is a very flexible tool: You can actually reduce the size of an entire formula in the middle of your paper quite easily. Most of us get into trouble with that because we forget that the commands to do that do not work in Math Mode: we have to place them before the double or single dollar sign at the beginning of our formula and after the double or single dollar sign in the end. 

We have several options available:

tiny	scriptsize	footnotesize	small	normalsize
large	Large	LARGE	huge	Huge

All we have to do is adding a {\ together with the option we want, so say {\small in front of our formula and } in the end of it (after the dollar signs in the end and before those in the beginning).

Items: Dash or Bullet?

If you are having the same problem I had today, which is that when you use \begin{itemize} you get a dash instead of a bullet for your \item, the solution is adding the following line to your preamble: 

\renewcommand\labelitemii{$\bullet$}

You can actually use any symbol you like to mark the item. A quick way is:

\item[*]

if you want to see * instead of the bullet, for instance, marking the start of the item. 

If you want to see a plus, then write 

\item[+]
