MSN Messenger trojan
Just read the news, there is new MSN Messenger trojan that is spreading now. Be aware of it.
The Trojan is an IRC bot that’s spreading through MSN Messenger by sending itself in a .zip file with two names. One of the names includes the word “pics” as a double extension executable—a name generally used by scanners and digital cameras: for example, DSC00432.jpg.exe. The Trojan is also contained in a .zip file with the name “images” as a .pif executable—for example, IMG34814.pif.

Chance and fate
Some people believe that everything happened by chance according to the probability. Some people believe that everything is happened by fate. What do you believe?
If this world is only worked in probability, that means because by chance, “Big Bang” happened then the world is born.
If this world is only worked in probability, that means my parents were met by chance.
If this world is only worked in probability, that means because by chance, I was born.
If this world is only worked in probability, that means my mind existed because of chance, and all my life on earth is only happened because of probability.
Laptop battery
I got one friend, his laptop is newer than mine. However, the battery is already working bad. The battery will lost the power quickly. But my laptop’s battery still can work about 1 hour plus.
And I just read about lithium-ion battery (which is used in laptop, PDA, and handphone). The following is the quotation from http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/lithium-ion-battery.htm/printable.
Lithium ion chemistry prefers partial discharge to deep discharge, so it’s best to avoid taking the battery all the way down to zero. Since lithium-ion chemistry does not have a “memory”, you do not harm the battery pack with a partial discharge. If the voltage of a lithium-ion cell drops below a certain level, it’s ruined.
Catholic parents should know
I don’t know what title should this be.
I just read the RSS news, and found that there is a film called “The Golden Compass” which is based on the book. The conclusion of the news is, parents are not recommended to allow their children to watch the film and read the book.
The following is the quote:
It’s not OK for children – impressionable as they are – to read stories in which the plot revolves around the supreme blasphemy, namely, that God is a liar and a mortal. It is not appropriate for children to read books in which the heroine is the product of adultery and murder; priests act as professional hit men, torturers and authorize occult experimentation on young children; an ex-nun engages in occult practices and promiscuous behavior, and speaks of it openly with a 12-year-old couple; and the angels who rebel against God are good, while those who fight on God’s side are evil. This is wrong. And while it’s been softened in the movie – or at least that’s what Hollywood is telling us – it’s still there in the books.

Comic reviews: Funny comics I had read
There are 2 comics (or manga) that I would like to introduce. They are too funny, that I read and laugh non-stop.
The following order is my ranking from top to down:
- High School Girls 女子高生 - Very funny. I think it is shojo manga (girl’s comic). I think it is more suitable for adults. The story talks about high school girls, who study in girls’ high, and how desperate they are. And, if you are a male, you will found that, those girls are really unexpectable when there is no male…
- Yakitate! Japan 日式麵包王 - This manga is already completed. I like the main character. A combination of idiot and genius. The supporting character is really funny. The theory inside the story is very logic, but the story is too illogic, especially almost at the end of the comic. The story talks about “roti” (bread).
You can click and read online. It is chinese translation.
Online comic tips
When you read online comic (or online manga), do you find that it is slow to load image when you click the next page? And do you feel incovenient to use your web browser to read comic, because image is small, and cannot scroll the page easily?
Why don’t you download the images and view with your “comic reader”?
To download the images, there are 2 problems.
First problem, which is solvable:
The webpage disallow you to right-click. Disable the right-click disallow you to see the image property, so that you cannot get the filename and the URL address. Filename and URL address are important for this tips. Therefore, your goal is to get the filename and URL address.
枸杞, Gyuji, Goji Berry
As a Sibuian (people from Sibu), I take chicken soup since very small. And, my mum always put the “gyuji” (Foochow) in the soup. And just read an article about goji berry, found that, goji berry provids many benefit. Ooooh!!! I just found that goji berry is 枸杞 (“gyuji”).
Memory Editor
I don’t know whether you know about Memory Editor (or some people call it Memory Scanner) or not. It is an application that usually used when playing PC games.
Using Memory Editor, you can modify your character HP (Hit Point), money, and else. And if you are very good in memory editing, you might also review the secret items, secret characters.
I like to use Memory Editor. Because, I don’t like to waste too much time to level up my character. I feel that doing this is wasting my life. However, I like story of the games, that is why I modify a bit which will not destroy the fun of the game play, such as modify the experience of the characters.
Sabbath and Sunday
I don’t know every body know this or not. Just one to share, because I taugth catechism before, and taught the children about this.
Sabbath is acutally Saturday. If follow the Jewish custom, it is from Friday sunset until Saturday sunset. Because, for Jewish, a day start from sunset. That is why we celebrate sunset mass on Saturday and it fulfils the Sunday obligation. And, Sabbath is the day of rest.
An imagination: Mind without brain
This is just my imagination: the mind without brain.
Some people may think that there is no soul. And the mind is the brain. So when a man died, then his mind will disappear, just like sleep without dream. Therefore, they can do whatever they like, because after they died, there is no more pleasure.
Some people, may believe the existence of soul. But if the mind is not part of the soul, they can still do whatever they like, because after they died, there is no more pleasure, feeling and else.
