Reactive WXP trail period to 120 days.

After searching a bit on this topic (30 days trial) we found a Very useful Windows command, that MS do not tell us.

Reseting the Activation Trial:
------------------------------
In this example: Your activation period has expired, (past 30 days) and you need to get to Normal mode again.


1. Turn On your PC
2. Press F8 repeatedly and go to Safe Mode

3. Log in as per normal
(note: Administrator password is usually blank, or use the Password Recovery CD if the password is unknown)

4. Allow the Desktop to fully load (answering "Yes" to continue into Safe Mode)
(note: This is just a long way of saying go to Safe Mode)

5. Click on Start - Run

6. Type in exactly: rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk (and click OK)
(note: one space, after "rundll32.exe " also the Oo are two letter o's in "oobe"; capitals and comma are important)

7. Wait a couple of seconds (although you will Not see any change)

8. Restart your PC normally (Start - Shutdown - Restart - Ok)

9. You are now able to go to Normal Mode again (For another 30 days !!!)

10. Do whatever you like, you're back to Normal.

That is some kind of offical way to reset the Activation Trial.
Take Care it will work only work for about 4 times. (120 days in total !!!!!!)
Do not use on an already activated PC (as it may reset it )

This command line (Activation Reset) has been fully tested, and 100% working.  

Warning!!!! renting Jet Ski in Pattaya (Thailand)

Hey Guys,

Just a bit of advice in regards to renting Jet Skies or anything in Pattaya. I’m just back from my first trip in Thailand, and over its entire disappointed trip for us! However while we spent some days in Pattaya we had a really bad experience.

I and my three friends were approached by a man while walking down the beach asking if we wanted to rent jet Skies at 5:30 PM (02/14/2011), he was friendly enough and we arranged a price of 150THB each for 30mins. We were asked to sign a piece of paper which asked for our Hotel name and room number they were very friendly and polite.

Integration between DCHP and DNS

Traditionally, DNS and DHCP server have been configured and managed one at a time. Similarly, changing authorization rights for a particular user in a group of devices has meant visiting each one and making configurations changes. DHCP integration with DNS allows the aggregation of these tasks across devices, enabling a company's network services to scale in step with the growth of network users, decives, and policies, while reducing the administrative operations and costs.


This integration provides practical operational efficiencies that lower the cost of ownership. Creating a DHCP network automatically creates an associated DNS Zone, for example , reducing the number of tasks required of network administrators. And integration of DNS  and DHCP in the same database instance provides unmatched consistency between service and management views of IP address-centric network service data.

Ten Technologies That Will Rock 2010

Now that the aughts are behind us, we can start the new decade with a bang. So many new technologies are ready to make a big impact this year. Some of them will be brand new, but many have been gestating and are now ready to hatch. If there is any theme here it is the mobile Web. As I think through the top ten technologies that will rock 2010, more than half of them are mobile. But those technologies are tied to advances in the overall Web as well.

Routing and Routed Protocols

ROUTING PROTOCOLS      

ROUTING PROTOCOLS are the software that allow routers to dynamically advertise and learn routes, determine which routes  are available and which are the most efficient routes to a destination. Routing protocols used by the internet protocol suite include:

• Routing Information Protocol (RIP and RIP II)
• Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
• Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)
