USM FC terlalu sikap rendah diri

PENGENDALI skuad Liga Perdana, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) FC, S Veloo, mengakui kekalahan mereka kepada Felda United, kelmarin, disebabkan sikap terlalu rendah diri dan takut kepada bayang-bayang sendiri. Bagi Veloo, anak buahnya terlalu risau apabila berhadapan dengan pasukan itu sehingga menyebabkan mereka kecundang 1-4, walapun bermain di gelanggang sendiri. Kekalahan itu cukup aib dan memaksa Veloo mencari formula segera bagi memantapkan pasukan menjelang pertemuan dengan Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS), Jumaat ini. “Jika sikap itu masih gagal dikikis, memang sukar untuk kami mencipta kemenangan,” katanya. Pada pertemuan dengan Felda, pemain tuan rumah seakan-akan hilang punca khususnya pada babak pertama apabila mudah diperkotak-katikkan oleh lawan.

Sysreset vs MIRC

Sysreset is just like MIRC. The only different is sysreset has better downloading feature compare to MIRC.

With the normal MIRC, you need to do a lot of typing to CTCP a user to know which file is available for download. However, Sysreset has cover this weakness by having Server Tracker.

Just as the picture above, the server tracker will show you all of available ‘sharer’ and you just need to click their name to enter their CTCP page. You can find the Server Tracker feature at the Sysreset tab.

Another important thing, you should load the fserve_tracker.ini and fserve_browser.ini first at the addon manager (still at the Sysreset tab).

That’s all. Enjoy your download.

Hide your identity while surfing by using proxy

In this article I will cover about HTTP proxy only. Axtually, HTTP proxy is an IP adress. If you use proxy while surfing the net, your IP adress that is sent to the web server is changed too. This is what hackers do to make sure their their location can’t be detect.

HTTP Headers:

What happens when you visit a website? Let say that you enter www.yahoo.com, these are several things that involve:

(a) Domain name for Yahoo.com is changed to its server IP adress by using Domain Name System or DNS. (actually every website have their own IP adress such as 122.254.65.32 but visitors will feel difficulty to remember those number. So domain name is created in order to resolve the numbers into words) .

Larger computer memory doesn’t mean faster

I have a friend who is quite rich. He likes to mod his pc and last week he just added another 2GB of computer ram into his motherboard making them 4GB total. He thinks that more speed means faster performance and that’s only half true.

What is the function of computer ram?

When we open a program, our cpu will use some memory that is what we called memory usage. You can view your memory usage by going to task manager (ctrl + alt + del).

For me, I have 1GB of ram and only use xp. For my maximum usage, it only take around 750MB from my memory. So 250MB still free. So why do I need to bother to add my computer ram for larger memory?

Then why my computer shows slow performance?

I think you all need to understand that larger memory doesn’t mean faster performance however when your memory is not enough, let say you have 512MB memory but you use 650MB… from where the 138MB come from?

Bloody Monday japan drama review

Bloody Monday is a Japanese drama that is adapted from a manga titled Bloody Monday. My first impression before watching the drama is that the drama should be bloody and full of vengeance. Looks like I am partially wrong. Actually Bloody Monday is a interesting drama that is suitable for all age and gender despite the ‘bloody’ title.

In this drama, you will see how a student become involved with a group of terrorist. The terrorist is going to release a virus in Japan. The same virus (not computer virus) that is previously released in Russia shown tremendous effect. Since Fujimaru Takagi has involved in the series of event, now he has to use his super hacking skill to help national security THIRD-I in preventing the Bloody Monday from happening.
