Last Friday, we had our first test with Mrs Koh. How did the test go? Ok ok la. I have no idea how to answer certain things! Lol. Like how many molecular ion in 1,1,1-trichloroethane. How many? I had to tembak. Lol. The worst part is the total paper has only total 34 marks which means is very easy to fail. Here is how it look like :
The paper was do able. I wouldn't say complete killer. But I am very proud to be in my class as halfway through the test, she had to leave to relieve U6Y as they have report card day. The best part was we were all honest. We could have easily look at our notes for the answer but we didn't We prefer to crack our head. See how honest we are! I was expecting many will take out their books to see but none did. For that I tip my head to you my friends.
The following will be articles I contribute to the class. The first one was with reference to my old post here,
Stopping Autorun Virus
Almost everyone in this world knows that viruses can spread through pendrives. What many people don't know is viruses can spread automatically without with an infected pendrive. People say the worst virus is the one which autorun on its own. I will say the best virus is the one which can't run. It is like a sitting duck. Waiting to be shot. Ok, enough with the lame joke.
Most viruses create a hidden autorun file when it infected a pendirve. That means should you plug in an infected pendrive and before you could scan it, it is already in your system. We all should "thank" Microsoft for coming out this this feature to make our computer vulnerable to attacks.
There is a difference between Autorun and Autoplay. Autoplay is when you insert a USB pendrive into your computer, you get a dialog box that ask you what do you want Windows to do.
On the other hand, Autorun will run an executable file instructred by a autorun.inf file. There is no chance of you cancelling Autorun at all. Microsoft have a way to disable it but it is too complicated for normal people like you and me to understand.
Panda Security has recently came up with a small portable tool that is able to “vaccine” your computer from virus that spreads through external USB drives. The computer vaccination prevents your computer from executing autorun.inf file and the USB drive vaccination creates a dummy autorun.inf file in your external usb drive so that virus can’t infect it.
The beta version which I have on my pendrive
The final release
A lot of newer generation antivirus software such as the latest ESET v4, RISING 2009, Kaspersky 2009 and etc has protection against USB virus. Still, it is always better to disable autorun.inf because if your USB drive has a virus that is yet to be detected by the antivirus software, your computer will be a victim of the virus.
Disabling autorun.inf GREATLY reduced the risk of the computers being infected by virus.
Note 1 : After doing this vaccine, Panda USB vaccine will add a registry key into the registry, your CD and DVD with a software will no longer Autorun. You will have to explore it manually to get it running and it isn't such a big deal compared to being infected with a virus and spending hours trying to remove it as some viruses are really nasties.
Note 2 : You will still need to scan your pendrive first. The virus is now like a sitting duck.

Jokes
• Lost Cigarettes
One afternoon a carpet layer had just finished installing carpet for a lady. He stepped out for a smoke, only to realize that he had lost his cigarettes. In the middle of the room, under the carpet, was a bump.
"No sense pulling up the entire floor for one pack of smokes," the carpet layer said to himself. So, he got out his hammer and flattened the hump.
As he was cleaning up, the lady came in. "Here," she said, handing him his pack of cigarettes. "I found them in the hallway." "Now," she said, "if only I could find my parakeet."
• Two nuns went into the woods one afternoon. One was called Sister Mathematics, because of her sharpened sense for mathematics, and the other one was called Sister Logic because she was very logical.
It started to get dark and they were away from the monastery.
SM: Did you notice that man behind us, it looks like he is following us. God knows what he wants from us;
SL: Well he wants to catch us and do the only logical thing to us;
SM: Oh no, at this distance he will catch us in less than 15 minutes. What shall we do?
SL: The only logical thing: let’s walk faster;
SM: But this does not help;
SL: Of course it does not help. He will do the only logical thing – and he will walk faster;
SM: Oh, what can we do, at this distance he will reach us in less than 10 minutes;
SL: The only logical thing that we can do is to separate. He can not follow us both;
The man decided to follow Sister Logic. Sister Mathematics successfully reached to the monastery, but she was worried about Sister Logic.
Soon Sister Logic showed up in the monastery.
SM: Sister Logic… thank you Dear God. Quick tell me what happened;
SL: Well the only logical thing happened, he could not follow us both, and so he chose me;
SM: I already know that (with jealous in her voice), what happened after that;
SL: The only logical thing: he catched me;
SM: Oh no, what did you do;
SL: Logically – I pull up my skirt;
SM: Oh no, My God, what did he do;
SL: The only logical thing – he put down his pants;
SM: And than what happened;
SL: Well that is logical – Sister with pull up skirt can run faster than a man with his pants down.
Shame on you who though something else…
Have a nice day

• A woman and her husband are both in the Internet business, but it is the husband who's the one who truly lives, eats, and breathes computers.

• A doctor of psychology was doing his normal morning rounds when he entered a patient's room. He found
Patient #1 sitting on the floor, pretending to saw a piece of wood in half.
Patient #2 was hanging from the ceiling, by his feet.
The doctor asked patient number 1 what he was doing.
The patient replied, "Can't you see I'm sawing this piece of wood in half?"
The doctor inquired Patient #1 of what Patient #2 was doing.
Patient #1 replied, "Oh. He's my friend, but he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a lightbulb."
The doctor looks up and notices Patient #2's face is going all red.
The doctor asks Patient #1, "If he's your friend, you should get him down from there before he hurts himself"
Patient #1 replies, "What? And work in the dark?"
• A blonde pilot decided she wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter.
She went to the airport, but the only one available was a solo-helicopter. The Instructor figured he could let her go up alone since she was already a pilot for small planes and he could instruct her by radio.
So up the blonde went. She reached 1,000 feet and everything was going smoothly. She reached 2,000 feet. The blonde and the Instructor kept talking via radio. Everything was running smoothly. At 3,000 feet the helicopter suddenly came down quickly! It skimmed the top of some trees and crash landed in the woods. The Instructor jumped into his jeep and rushed out to see if the blonde was okay. As he reached the edge of the woods, the blonde was walking out.
"What happened?" the Instructor asked. "All was going so well until you reached 3000 feet. What happened then?"
"Well," began the blonde, "I got cold. So I turned off the ceiling fan."
• The owner of a large factory decided to make a surprise visit and check up on his staff. Walking though the plant, he noticed a young man leaning lazily against a post.
"Just how much are you being paid a week?" said the owner angrily.
"Three hundred bucks," replied the young man.
Taking out a fold of bills from his wallet, the owner counted out $300, slapped the money into the boy's hands, and said, "Here's a week's pay -- now get out and don't come back!"
Turning to one of the supervisors, he said, "How long has that lazy bum been working here anyway?"
"He's not an employee," said the supervisor. "He was just here to deliver a pizza!"

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!!!!
• An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled down in their old neighborhood and are celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. They walk down the street to their old school. There, they hold hands as they find the old desk they'd shared and where he had carved "I love you, Sally."
On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armored car practically at their feet. She quickly picks it up, but they don't know what to do with it so they take it home. There, she counts the money, and it's fifty-thousand dollars.
The husband says, "We've got to give it back."
She says, "Finders keepers." And she puts the money back in the bag and hides it up in their attic.
The next day, two FBI men are going door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the money and show up at their home.
They say, "Pardon me, but did either of you find any money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"
She says, "No."
The husband says, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic."
She says, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."
But the agents sit the man down and begin to question him. One says,"Tell us the story from the beginning."
The old man says, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday..."
The FBI guy looks at his partner and says, "Let's get out of here."
• A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when a tall, handsome, prosperous-looking middle-aged man entered. He was so striking in appearance and bearing that the woman could not take her eyes off him.
The man noticed her stare and walked directly to her.
Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00... on one condition."
Amazed and at a loss,the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."
The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address.
She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly said.... "Paint my house."
