GTA IV Hitler parody
Funny like hell !!!
Avind in vedere ca au fost scoase de pe YouTube si majoritatea site-urilor similare, am gasit aici clipul: GTA IV Hitler parody
GTA San Andreas vs. GTA IV (part 2)
One short video this time, it's December 30th. Happy New Year to everyone !!
Surprisingly, the braking distance looks about the same. Still, the GTA IV car is slower, has a much sluggish acceleration, so that would mean a longer braking distance.

Spatiul liber pe hard
Windows are, implicit, o functie ce avertizeaza asupra spatiului liber putin.
De asemenea, daca dati un click pe acea avertizare, se lanseaza si un programel ce curata putin hard diskul. Acest program se poate lansa si din comanda: Start > Programs > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
Totusi, acest utilitar este destul de limitat si nu face treaba atit de buna.
Un alt utilitar foarte bun este WinDirStat
Dupa ce ati descarca si instalat programul, bifati optiunile Options > Show Free Space si Options > Show Unknown Space
Acum puteti incepe scanarea partitiilor cu probleme (ori prin repornirea programului, ori pirn accesarea meniului File > Open).
Dupa terminarea scanarii, informatiile vor fi prezentate atit sub forma de lista foldere (similar Windows Explorer), cit si sub forma grafica. Ambele tipuri de prezentare sint ordonate dupa marimea fisierelor/folderelor, deci veti vedea imediat cine ocupa spatiu mult.
Atentie: daca observati ca apare la categoria Unknown ceva, acestea sint fisiere de sistem, la care Windows nu permite accesul. Programul calculeaza diferenta dintre marimea partitiei si marimea totala a fisierelor si raporteaza ca fiind necunoscuta orice diferenta aparuta.
Puteti sa stergeti manual fisierele/folderele inutile, folosind informatiile furnizate de programul WinDirStat, prezentat anterior.
Sau puteti folosi programul gratuit CCleaner.
Pur si simplu instalati si rulati programul, apoi folositi butoanele Analyze si Run Cleaner.
Programul are si functie de curatare registry, dar despre aceasta vom vorbi alta data.

Ce tipuri de fisiere am in calculator (afisare extensie)
Windows, cit ar fi el de bun, mai are si anumite scapari. Una dintre ele este faptul ca ascunde extensia fisierului. Extensia este ultima parte a numelui fisierului, aflata dupa punct. Aceasta extensie identifica tipul de fisier si spune Windows-ului cu ce program sa deschida acel tip.
Din cauza ca windows ascunde implicit aceasta extensie, ne putem trezi cu mai multe fisier care au, aparent, acelasi nume. Pot fi diferentiate doar prin icoana, dar aceasta nu spune prea multe despre fisier, deoarece fisiere diferite pot avea aceeasi icoana, ca in exemplul de mai jos:
Pentru a afisa extensia fisierului, procedati astfel:
Deschideti o fereastra Windows Explorer si accesati meniul Tools > Folder Options.
Aici intrati la categoria View si debifati optiunea "Hide extension for known file types"
Dupa ce veti face asta, va fi afisata si extensia!
Blue Screen of Death - dezactivare restart
Celebrul Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) marcheaza o eroare grava a unui sistem de operare Windows.
Din fericire, acesta prezinta si citeva informatii folositoare pentru diagnosticarea problemei.
Din nefericire, optiunea implicita setata de Windows, in timpul instalarii, este sa efectueze un restart imediat dupa producerea unei erori de acest gen. De aceea, informatiile nu ramind pe ecran decit o fractiune de secunda.
Folosind acest scurt tutorial, veti dezactiva acest restart, pentru a putea rezolva, ulterior, problemele ce cauzeaza erori si BSOD.
Deschideti meniul Start > Control Panel > System.
Accesati optiunea Advanced.
Apasati butonul Settings..., din categoria Startup and Recovery.
Debifati optiunea "Automatically restart" din categoria System Failure.
Dupa ce ati dezactivat restartul si mai se intimpla beleaua sa apara acest ecran de eroare, luati de acolo codul de eroare si, eventual numele fisierului.
De exemplu, in poza de la inceputul acestui tutorial, codul de eroare este 00000050 si numele fisierului ce a cauzat eroarea este SPCMDCON.SYS.
Folosind aceste informatii, cautati diverse solutii folosind Google.

Tutorial Ultimate Boot CD
Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) este o colectie de programe de test, utila in diagnosticarea diverselor probleme hardware ce pot aparea la un calculator.
CD-ul (adica imaginea descarcata) este bootabil, deci nu are nevoie de Windows sau alt sistem de operare instalat pe calculator.
Site-ul oficial este acesta: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com
Puteti descarca cea mai noua versiune de aici: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html
Puteti lua oricare varianta (ISO - fisier cel mai mare, ZIP obisnuit sau arhiva 7Zip self-extract - fisierul cel mai mic). In final, trebuie sa aveti un fisier ISO.
ATENTIE: daca aveti instalat programul WinRAR, fisierul ISO apare cu icoana de arhiva. NU trebuie dezarhivat.
Dupa descarcare si, eventual, dezarhivare, trebuie sa scrieti imaginea ISO pe un CD.
Puteti folosi Nero Burning ROM. Lansati programul, anulati Wizardul, accesati meniul File > Open > deschideti fisierul ISO.
Alegeti viteza de scriere si apoi Burn.
Dupa ce ati scris discul, sinteti gata de teste.
Resetati calculatorul, lasind discul in unitate.
ATENTIE: Trebuie sa setati in BIOS sa booteze de pe CD.
Intrati in BIOS (de obicei, cu tasta Delete, mai rar cu F2/F11/F12).
Aici, cautati meniul Boot sau Boot order.
Apoi, stabiliti ordinea de bootare: CD-ROM, HARD-0...
Dupa ce ati verificat/setat optiunea in BIOS, salvati setarile, acest lucru rezultind in restartul calculatorului.
In citeva secunde, trebuie sa se incarce UBCD:
Dupa aceasta puteti incepe testele. Cele mai recomandate sint:
- MemTest - pentru testarea memoriei, aflat la categoria Mainboard Tools > Memory Tests
- diverse teste pentru procesor- la categoria Mainboard Tools > CPU Tests
- diverse teste pentru hard disk - aflate la categoria Hard Disk Tools > Hard Disk Diagnostic Tools. Aici veti gasi unele teste specifice pentru anumite marci de discuri. Puteti incerca acele teste, chiar daca aveti alta marca de hard. De asemenea, unele teste pot scrie date pe hard si pot duce la distrugerea datelor. Veti fi avertizat de acest lucru inainte de inceperea testului, deci fiti atenti la mesajele afisaate.

GTA San Andreas vs. GTA IV
Up until now, I was a huge fan of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Now, with the release of GTA IV, I'm very dissapointed.
There's way too much "realism" in the game.
The car handling is rubish (braking is awful), the camera is very sluggish (can't corner at all), walking speed of Niko is not very gangsta like (try to escape thugs at that speed, you're long dead).
If I want realism, I just go outside and drive my car!
Also, the sheer size of the game, around 15 Gb, is just scary! How much cr*p can R* pack into a game?!
Watch a small comparison (more coming soon), now in all glorious YouTube HD quality.

How to make a Backup CD with Nero
Using this short video tutorial, you can make in a few minutes a backup copy of any disc (CD or DVD).
Use the full screen button, I think you can understand the buttons/menus more clearly.
Un nou tutorial, in limba romana - Super Disc
Mai multe premiere in acest post:
- primul post in limba romana
- primul post folosind noul browser Google Chrome
- primul tutorial in limba romana (ma rog, asta cam seamana cu primul, dar merge, la gramada)
Sa incepem. Este vorba de un tutorial pentru crearea unui Super Disc. Acesta va contine kiturile de instalare Windows XP si Windows Vista, un Linux Live CD - Puppy Linux, un disc de utilitare - Ultimate Bood CD si un antivirus - Avira Rescue CD.
Aveti nevoie de urmatoarele programe:
Imaginea de boot: isolinux.bin (descarcati de aici sau de aici)
Fisierul de configurare a meniului de start: ISOLINUX.CFG (descarcati de aici sau de aici)
Fisierele de boot: boot-isolinux.zip (descarcati de aici sau de aici)
Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD): http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html (imaginea ISO)
CD-ul Windows XP (nu conteaza care SP)
DVD-ul Windows Vista (nu conteaza care SP)
Nero Burning ROM: http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-nero8-trial.php (merge si cu Express si Smart Start, dar nu folosesc asa ceva).
UltraISO: http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/
[optional] Daemon tools: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5
[optional] Windows XP unattended creator: Setupmgr.exe - se gaseste pe cd-ul XP, in folderul Support\Tools\, fisierul DEPLOY.CAB. Poate fi extras cu WinRAR sau cu comanda expand -f:* deploy.cab c:\folder
[optional] Windows XP unattended file: WINNT.SIF (descarcati de aici sau de aici)
Pregatirea programelor:
Extrageti sectorul de boot de la Windows XP si Windows Vista, folosind UltraISO > meniul Bootable > Extract boot file.
Veti avea doua fisiere BIF (le puneti numele clar, sa nu la incurcati: XP.bif, vista.bif). Se poate schimba extensia, din BIF in BIN, fara nici o problema.
Copiati continutul discurilor Windows XP, respectiv Vista, in 2 foldere (separate) pe hard disk.
Extrageti/copiati (folosind tot UltraISO sau Daemon Tools) continutul imaginii UBCD intr-un folder pe hard disk.
Extrageti/copiati (folosind tot UltraISO sau Daemon Tools) continutul imaginii Avira intr-un folder pe hard disk. Atentie: deoarece Ariva foloseste tot un sistem de operare Linux, trebuie sa schimbati numele a doua fisiere, si anume:
- nume fisiere originale: initrd.gz si vmlinuz
- nume modificate: initrda.gz si vmlinuza
In final veti avea pe hard disk 5 foldere separate ce contin fisierele programelor respective.
[optional]Crearea unei instalari unattended Windows XP:
* Ori folositi setupmgr.exe pentru a crea fisierul WINNT.SIF dupa propriile optiuni. Aici aveti un tutorial simplu, programul este foarte usor de folosit.
* Ori folositi fisierul WINNT.SIF atasat. ATENTIE: modificati ProductKey= (introduceti serialul propriu), FullName= si OrgName= (introduceti datele dorite)
Fisierul atasat face ca la instalare sa va intrebe, la inceput, partitia si tocmai la final, username/parola, activare Windows Update etc.
Fisierul WINNT.SIF (indiferent metoda prin care l-ati generat) trebuie copiat in folderul I386 din kitul de Windows XP (in folderul aflat pe hard disk).
Pregatirea imaginii complete:
Lansati UltraISO.
Incarcati imaginea de boot (isolinux.bin), folosind meniul Bootable > Load Boot File...
Apoi activati meniul Bootable > Generate infotable
Drag & drop (trageti din Explorer in UltraISO) continutul tuturor discurilor extrase (in ordinea UBCD, XP, Vista).
Copiati, direct in radacina discului, imaginile de boot Windows (xp.BIF, vista.bin).
Copiati in folderul boot/isolinux fisierul ISOLINUX.CFG (atentie: deja exista un fisier cu acest nume, ii dati suprascriere-overwite).
Testare:
Testarea se poate face ori cu o masina virtuala (VMWare, VirtualBox, Qemu etc.) sau direct (scrieti imaginea pe un DVD, eventual RW, resetati, selectati in BIOS sa booteze de pe CD/DVD).
Atentie:

Does Google hate Romanian or just Internet Explorer ??
Google translate, using "state-of-the-art technology" which "achieved very good results in research evaluations", sometimes screws things up really, really bad.
Just try this little piece of text:
I use Internet Explorer
I use Google Browser
The Romanian translation you get is:
Nu utilizaţi Internet Explorer (this means "do not use Internet Explorer")
Eu folosesc browser-ul Google (this is translated OK, of course)
The really funny part is that the translation is OK in any other language I can understand (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish). Please let me know if the translation is OK or not in other languages.

My work sample (1)
Motivational slideshow
Gather meaningful royalty free images from the Internet, find some royalty free audio tracks, edit the audio track to the desired length, put together images and audio, tweak image order and transitions, add (almost) subliminal messages (watch it closely or you'll miss them), save final video, upload to YouTube.
If you want to know in more detail what programmes I have used, where do I got the images and audio, just drop a comment.

How to add a custom favicon to Blogspot
The favicon is that little icon appearing in the Address field of your browser, just before the address of the site you're visiting.
The default Blogspot favicon if a small white B on orange background.
Login into your account, go to Layout, then Edit Html.
Find the <head> tag and add this text just after it.
<!-- Custom favicon -->
<link href='http://www.freewebs.com/queensoft/iconqs.ico' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon'/>
<link href='http://www.freewebs.com/queensoft/iconqs.png' rel='icon' type='image/png'/>
Of course, you'll have to alter the address of the two files (ICO and PNG). As before, you can host the images on your hosting account or on a free hosting site that allows hotlinking.
Now, you have to create the actual ICO and PNG files.
The image resolution is 16 x 16 pixels (yeah, it's really small, but it can look cool).
PNG file is easy, you can basically create it with any decent graphics program.
GIMP is a very good freeware graphics software.
Microangelo is a very good ICO creation suite, but it's a commercial piece of software.
Adsen FavIcon is a simple favicon freeware creator.
Whopper virgins - hot or not ?!
As you probably don't know , I'm from Romania.
Should I be offended by this so called "taste test"?! http://www.whoppervirgins.com/
I mean, yeah, we're not the most advanced or civilised country in the world, but we like to think we're on the right track.
At least we should be happy they have chosen some decent country folks for these tests, all dressed in traditional clothes.
But the fact that people 15 minutes away from Bucharest (Romania's capital city) have never heard of a hamburger it's pretty darn weird. They should have picked some mountain folks, in the middle of nowhere. I'm pretty sure you can find that kind of people even in today's great US of A, people who are completely oblivious to the fact that there's such a thing as hamburgers and don't know that Obama, their elected president, is black!! No offence!!
