DNS security flaws

full story

In practice the DNS service behaves very much like the /etc/hosts file on your computer, which is where the system initially looks up name resolutions before relying on the DNS system. The file is basically a list of IP addresses followed by the name you've associated with those IP addresses. For example, if you edit the file you can associate any domain name with any IP address of your choosing.

1. Open Terminal and enter the following command to edit the hosts file

sudo pico /etc/hosts

2. Go to the bottom of the file and enter the following:

74.125.19.106 www.apple.com

3. Press control-o followed by the return key to save the file

Google Honors Anniversary of Bar Code Patent Awarded to Drexel Alumnus, Faculty Member

On Wednesday, October 8, 2009, Google celebrated the 57th anniversary of the first bar code patent by changing the logo on its Web site with a black and white bar code design.

Drexel alumnus Norman Woodland (above) CoE '47, Hon. '98, and faculty member Bernard Silver received the first patent (U.S. Patent # 2,612,994) for their bar code on October 7, 1952. The bar code created by Woodland and Silver was comprised of a series of concentric circles, not the black and white vertical lines used currently.

Counting in for loop in dos batch

This is the default behaviour of a FOR loop:

@echo off 
setlocal 
:: count to 5 storing the results in a variable 
set _tst=0 
FOR /l %%G in (1,1,5) Do (echo [%_tst%] & set /a _tst+=1) 
echo Total = %_tst%  
C:>demo_batch.cmd 
[0] 
[0] 
[0] 
[0] 
[0] 
Total = 5

Notice that when the FOR loop finishes we get the correct total, so the variable correctly increments, but during each iteration of the loop the variable is stuck at it's initial value of 0

The same script with EnableDelayedExpansion, gives the same final result but also displays the intermediate values:

@echo off 
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion  
:: count to 5 storing the results in a variable 
set _tst=0 
FOR /l %%G in (1,1,5) Do (echo [!_tst!] & set /a _tst+=1) 
echo Total = !_tst! 
C:\>demo_batch.cmd 
[0] 
[1] 
[2] 
[3] 
[4] 
Total = 5

Notice that instead of %variable% we use !variable!

vista "configuring updates step 3 of 3" continous loop solution

I stepped into this mess today and finally got out of it. what i did-

1. when you see the “Microsoft (C)” with the moving lines, hold the power button until it shuts down.

2. then start it again, you will find a window asking for "launch automatic repair". choose this option.

3. i didn't have to do anything else. if you are still stuck, follow these instructions.
