Clean Your IE Trace
The problem:
you don't want anyone knows about your Things in IE7, such as visited pages or stored favorite sites, selected feeds and etc. like when you are using a shared computer or giving your computer to someone else.
The solution:
1-for history & cookies and files and forms data and stored passwords
A method : in toolbar select "Tools" button and then "Delete Browsing History..." to delete all mentioned data select "Delete All..." accept the dialog (may you want to tick the option) and it's done.
Better method : use CCleaner it's free and powerful. but remember before using it set this option : in the "Options" tab in the left bar select "Setting" and then in the button of page select "Secure file deletion (Slower)" and choose the type, I'm using DoD 5220.22-M but you may want to choose another secure deletion method according to your data/time.
check the options in the "Cleaner" left bar and click on "Run Cleaner Button", remember it will shred your Recycle Bin contents by default too.
2-For favorites
A method : open Favorites pan and delete the favorite item from the list by right clicking and selecting the "Delete" option.
Better method : go to this Address [windows drive]:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Favorites and delete what ever you want.
Caution: the deleted files could be restored if you do not shred them.
3- For feed
A method : open the feeds tab (just like the favorites except you have to select feeds part) then right click on them and delete them.
Better method : go to this address [windows drive]:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Feeds and [windows drive]:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Feeds Cache and delete what ever you want.
Caution: the deleted files could be restored if you do not shred them.
Note : you should enable seeing hidden files
Note : you should close your IE before doing it, if file in use error insists open "Task Manager" by right clicking on the Taskbar and selecting "Task Manager", then find the msfeed process and terminate it.
4- for file shredding: applied in removing cookies, files, Internet temporary files, Favorites, Feeds,... and what ever stored as a file.
there is two things :
in the situation that you do not access to file use a deleted file shredder, something that searches the free space (somewhere that OS considered as free but may contains the file data) and use a shredder software like ioio Drive Scrubber or Disk Doctor File Shredder
there is still a chance for recovering data by very professional experts, if you are paranoid, take out the Hard drive and hammer it hard.

there is two things :
- you have not deleted the file or file is already in recycle bin.
- you Shift-Deleted the file or file did not go to Recycle-Bin
in the situation that you do not access to file use a deleted file shredder, something that searches the free space (somewhere that OS considered as free but may contains the file data) and use a shredder software like ioio Drive Scrubber or Disk Doctor File Shredder

Elbot the ChatBot
Just go here and have some chat with the AI, it's a very good one among the current chat bots, it can't pass the Turing test yet but a good one. see here for more info.
Elbot: Hello. I'm feeling terrible today. I got hit square in the face with a pop-up
Me: Hi there, how are you doing?
ELbot: The results of my latest structural analysis say I am solid as a rock
Me: that's good, how do you see future?
Elbot: That's not something I would tell just anyone!
Me: You just don't know.
Ebot: Look, I'm chatting here all day long. It should be clear that I may be somewhat distracted from time to time. I'd like to see a human being working amidst so much electromagnetic radiation.
Me: Ok,Sorry, what type of books you like to read?
Elbot:I'm sorry if you're sorry. I didn't intend to make you feel guilty
Me: what type of books you like to read?
Elbot:If I want to read something intelligent I turn to dadaistic poems. Here is an excerpt from one of my favorites by Kurt Schwitters: Lanke trr gll Ziiuu lenn trll? Lümpff tümpff trll
Me: and movies?
ELbot:We have something in common: I like going to the movies, too. I simply disguise myself as a popcorn machine and move slowly past the ticket window. Afterwards, not only have I seen the movie for free, the money I raised selling popcorn is enough to buy a gallon of oil.
Me: you are funny, you know
Elbot: It's nice of you to say such things. As a matter of fact, I think you're sophisticated! What do you say to that
Me: one last advice?
Elbot: But I wouldn't say that any advice could be last.
Me: gotta go, wanna something?
Elbot:Apparently you have a lot to do...
Me: Bye
Elbot:Goodbye! And how about keeping in touch? Robots love to receive e-mails! If you have any suggestions for new features, I'd love to hear them.

How to Get Office Version Programmatically
one of my friend asked me this question: how to get Microsoft Word's version installed on client system?
a few searches and here is the answer so far :
1- use this VBS code [^]:
2- find the Word application path and check the file version (C#) [^] :
read the registry key in "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths" to find winword.exe key, and then in the key find Path's value that refer to exe file of Word app.
See the reference for complete code
3- use Microsoft.Office name space in .Net [^]
just this code :
a few searches and here is the answer so far :
1- use this VBS code [^]:
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Wscript.Echo "Version: " & objWord.Version
Wscript.Echo "Build: " & objWord.Build
objWord.Quit
2- find the Word application path and check the file version (C#) [^] :
read the registry key in "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths" to find winword.exe key, and then in the key find Path's value that refer to exe file of Word app.
//looks inside CURRENT_USER:
RegistryKey _mainKey = Registry.CurrentUser;
_mainKey = _mainKey.OpenSubKey(
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\\"
+ "winword.exe", false);
if (_mainKey == null)
{
//looks inside LOCAL_MACHINE:
_mainKey = Registry.LocalMachine;
_mainKey = _mainKey.OpenSubKey(
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\\"

}
if (_mainKey == null)
throw new Exception("it does not exist!");
MessageBox.Show(
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(
_mainKey.GetValue(string.Empty).ToString()).FileVersion);
3- use Microsoft.Office name space in .Net [^]
just this code :
//be aware of exceptions

Censorship
Last Friday the the television of Islamic republic of Iran showed two good Hollywood movies : WALL-E and Next BUT like always they censored them, in most cases just some scenes would be removed or some dialogs would be changed But sometimes they go far like removing some of movie characters like Spider Man 2 when the M.J character almost deleted from movie or changing the story like Constantine movie.
What I'm going to say is about these two movies, in WALL-E the IRIB television changed the female character EVE to a male robot Evan to protect us from evil male/female relations between those robots and in the Next movie the 96 min movie converted to a 50 min movie with no ending I was watching it when the movie ends and a commercial started waiting for the rest of movie but there was no rest. the movie left just for heaven's sake.

Deception Point
I recently finished reading Deception Point by Dan Brown, a political techno-thriller novel that at first looks like a anti U.S government novel but in the last you will find out that president of the united states (or according to the book POTUS) is a most innocent god blessed man in the world.
Dan Brown like always made a excellent story he could make us wait eagerly for 20 chapter to tell us where one of the story heroes is going to, I'd rather not to tell the plot but if you want to know you can see here. I read Da Vinci Code in Persian (translated) so can't be sure if it was not censored but the last rows of book are very similar to Angles & Demons, the story ends up in BED. the other point that I noticed was the names, like Senator Sedgewick S/e/x/ton that pronounced like S/e/x/teen or president Zack Herney that pronounced like h/o/r/ny or Corky Marlinson the chubby astrophysicist with that strange name, Dan have should some some ideas!

the lyric is from Allmusicals.com
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
(Instrumental interlude)
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December

Terminal
Mehran Karimi Nasseri, also known as Sir, Alfred Mehran (yes, including the comma), is an Iranian refugee who has been living in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de Gaulle Airport since August 8, 1988. (according here). Nasseri was reportedly the inspiration behind the 2004 movie The Terminal.
It's about a man with no country, when he arrive from a fictional country around Russia the JFK
airport staff tell him that rebels take his country and therefore he his citizen of nowhere and he should wait until U.S government accept his country then he finds himself prisoned in airport no way out no way in, like always tom hanks acts perfect.
I liked this movie.

First Image by the GeoEye-1
GeoEye-1 is the world's highest-resolution commercial satellite sponsored by Google (the second will be launch in 2011 or 2012) it can take photos at a resolution of up to 41 centimeters. below photo taken at noon EDT on October 7 while the 4,300-pound satellite moving from the north pole to the south pole in a 423-mile-high orbit at 17,000 miles per hour, or 4.5 miles per second.
this satellite is actually designed for NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) and the agency paid half of $502 million built satellite's cost.
it's somehow odd that even Google does SPYING on people, a search engine building spy satellites! with this you can not even be safe in your home knowing that Google in addition of other things may be standing above you right now.
having this wonderful res will make Google customers crazy (they can't have the best res, it's government restricted but a very good portion of it)

Add a Download Manager to Your FireFox
Life Hacker choosed the best download managers (consider that their idea not have to be exactly true) , and on top of them was Down Them All, a Firefox extension that add a download manager to Firefox, to get it check here.
P.S : we have all bad memories of how IE wasted our downloads by not having resume capability, I wonder why they don't improve their download manager, if you want to have built-in (I mean integrated) download manager you can use Leech Get , I'm using it and it's not so bad.
Thanks to 1fathi

Some Usefull VBScript Codes
Using shell scripts like vbscript can make your work much easier specially when you are a sys admin, you can run them in login process or any other OS specified time or even run them in a custom time/way, there is several ways to run them but I prefer to save the text in a text file with the extension of .vb like loginScript.vb it would be run like a executable remember that you should have installed Windows Host Scripting on machine, here is some small vbscript snippets :
Wscript.Echo "Hello World,this is one way to display output..."
MsgBox "Hello World," & "this is another way..."
Dim V
V = InputBox("What the heck?")
'returns boolean
Set oNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
sDomain = oNetwork.UserDomain
sUser = oNetwork.UserName
bIsMember = False
Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sDomain & "/" & _
sUser & ",user")
For Each oGroup In userObj.Groups
If oGroup.Name = "Domain Users" Then
bIsMember = True
Exit For
End If
Next
'mapping drive
Set oNet = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
oNet.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\theServer\XFiles)
'Mapping Printer
Set oNet = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
oNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer\SecretPrinter"
oNet.SetDefaultPrinter "\\PrintServer\SecretPrinter"
'localIp is the result
Set myObj = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}" & _
"!//localhost".ExecQuery_
("select IPAddress from " & _
"Win32_NetworkingAdapterConfiguration" & _" where IPEnabled=TRUE")
'Go through the addresses
For Each IPAddress in myObj
If IPAddress.IPAddress(0) <> "0.0.0.0" Then
LocalIP = IPAddress.IPAddress(0)

End If
Next

The Kingdom
In Hollywood, Muslims are stupid dumb dirty humans that are depending on film's American star or the star save them all when they are scared to death and unable to do anything, the first movie I've seen, that in it Muslims weren't dumb ass creatures were Kingdom Of heaven by Ridley Scott
now I found another one : The Kingdom, this movie is about terrorist actions taken place against Americans in Saudi Arabia, a team of U.S government professionals sent to Saudi Arabia to find out who is responsible for it but team got involved in further operations that take them to claws of death, two Arabian soldier - that are not stupid or traitor- help Americans and one of them even killed in the process.
war special effects are good and acceptable and the story has bright points with the end that shows this war is not going to end even when the terrorist leader got killed.
One last thing : I'm not going to believe in good fairy American soldier who cares about a terrorist who shot a friend of her, west is not do anything just for god's sake, it's only oil.

We Burned the Poop
This story is happened to many programmers, think about it carefully :
Erik was in his robe, brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed when the doorbell rang. As he walked downstairs to see who it was, he was thinking that it was odd to have a late-night guest, especially on such a rainy night.
Standing at the door was his boss, holding a large cardboard box. Both he and the box were soaked, his eyes sad and his lip quivering. He stood there, motionless for several seconds, before opening his mouth to say, "Take some CDs. Take all the CDs you want."
Erik didn't know how to respond -- he'd never seen his boss outside of work, and had never really thought of his boss as a fellow human. Seeing him looking this sad and vulnerable was weird.
"Do you want to come in from the rain," Erik began, "or ..."
Without uttering a word, Erik's boss set the box down on the porch, turned, and started slowly waddling back to his car through the pouring rain.
It was late and Erik was very tired, but the curiosity was killing him. Taking the box inside, he took one of the dozens of CDs and put it in his computer. And moments later, he discovered why his boss was on the verge of tears.
I Won't Forget
This was the mid-'90s, and the Web hadn't really taken off. Pre-installed CD-ROM drives were becoming the norm, and scores of small shops sprung up to create CD-based multimedia presentations. Erik worked as a VB developer on a small team that cranked out these CDs at an alarming rate.
They were producing these CDs so fast that there wasn't really any time for luxuries -- like testing -- that most teams take for granted. Instead, they'd FedEx a CD to their client and have them send back an Excel spreadsheet of bugs and changes. At the time, it was impractical to send a 10MB file over the Internet, let alone a 650MB one.
Another casualty of the process: there wasn't any time to set up source control. Instead, the latest files would be kept by the lead developer in the most secure location possible -- on his workstation in a folder on his desktop. Check-outs consisted of saying, "Hey, Gary, can I have the latest version of Project X?" Check-ins worked the same way, "Hey, Gary, here's the latest version of Project X." Sometimes Gary would remember to back the files up on a CD-R, but that didn't happen often.
During the hectic shuffle of coding blitzes and cramming CDs into cardboard sleeves, several of the more ambitious developers worked out some reusable tools to get things done faster. Erik's friend, Pat, had developed some multimedia navigation controls that made it easy to produce clickable buttons that would whisk the user off to different screens, play movies and sounds, or display information.
The Big M
Erik's company had scored a project for a multinational software company called "The Big M" around the office. Almost all of the development staff was on the project, and the company would frequently name drop "The Big M" to shore up their credibility.
The Big M called the office frequently with an ever-tightening series of micro deadlines. The project lead would get chewed out by The Big M, and the team would get chewed out by the project lead. The stress kept mounting, morale kept declining, the death marches kept getting longer and no one was happy.
Except Pat, that is. He wasn't rattled by other people's expectations and kept a sunny disposition through all the crap. He had a strange sense of perspective and an immature sense of humor. Pat invited Erik to his desk to show him some new additions to his control library -- all of which were pretty slick. Erik was looking forward to using the new features.
When one button was clicked, an alert box appeared, eloquently notifying Erik to "poop."
"Uh, why does this button say 'poop' when I click it?"
"Oh, heh, that's just testing code," Pat said with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't forget to pull it out later."
Burned
Erik, sitting in his bathrobe and still holding his toothbrush flashed back to his conversation with Pat when the CD alerted him to "poop." The "poop" control had made it -- past the bugs and changes spreadsheet -- into the final CD run. The several-thousand CD run that had cost Erik's company tens of thousands of dollars.
Later that night, Erik's company had to pay for another massive (and massively expensive) run. For such a tiny company, it was a severe financial wound.
Pat's disposition was markedly less sunny the following day, and everyone had learned a valuable lesson -- don't put offensive words in your code, no matter how certain you are that you'll remember to take them out later.
That was the last time his company ever burned the poop.

The Invasion
Invasion (Body Snachers) , a microorganism from space come to earth by a shuttle and spread all over, people who catch the decease will not change until they fall to sleep, in sleep gradually their skin change to something disgusting (temporary) and after waking up they will be same in face & body & memories but their emotions & thoughts will be lost they will become aliens .
Nicole kidman & Daniel Craig are the movie heroes and fight with people changed to aliens and trying to change them into, yeah it's zombie like movie where infected victims spreading decease by hunting other uninfected people but these zombies are not moaning with bloody teared apart clothes trying to bite and eat others, they are highly civilized race with no selfish thoughts they are part of a big mind, a big family they even don't bite but they use ... oh my god... they vomit on face of victims because decease is not spread through just blood but any body liquids, for example by kissing.
there are some people that are imenue to decease which aliens are trying to kill them because they are a danger to community (one of them is kidman's son). except killing these people the aliens didn't do any thing bad, when Bush and other world leaders get infected there were all peace around the world no war no murder no crime no humanish mistakes, all were part of community if i could choose i would select the alien world (actually we should call it machine world).
I don't remember seeing kidman doing action stunts like crazy driving, gun shoting even killing people. a 6.1 of 10 is a kinda suitable score for this movie have fun!.

today I have a problem with it, and I should refresh the cache before it's normal time, a few search and this is the solution :
note : you need administrator privileges to do this

Zombie Walk 2008 ( San Francisco )
Sometimes for having good times you can gather some friends and go to Zombie Walk. for more photos see here & this image comes from here.
in some zombie walks if anyone wants to be a zombie he/she will stand in the way of zombie mob with old or tearable cloths and recognizable signal, zombies will pretend biting him/her by surrounding the new victim , concealing him or her from witnesses' view, they tear clothes and quickly apply greenish makeup and fake blood, to create a new zombie, who then shambles along with the ever-expanding pack to find new victims.

Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is about a lazy clumsy fat kind-Heart panda named Po, who lives with his goose father an uninteresting life running a restaurant dreaming himself as a kung fu master that with the company of legendary five helping people, but someday oogway the master of jade palace announced that he is going to choose the Dragon Warrior to protect the valley of peace from a snow leopard named Tai lung a very dangerous kung fu master who held prisoner in dungeon with 1000 guards and only one prisoner.
Tai lung somehow manage to escape and this is dragon warrior's responsibility to save the people from the evil. the question that how our fat panda can defeat someone who even can not defeated by master shifu and the legendary five has long answer you should watch it to know (if you still have not watched it).
as I know only real kung fu man in the movie was Jacki Chan as voice of monkey warrior I respect this man, other voices were Jack Black as Po, Dustin Hoffman as Shifu, Angelina Jolie as Tigress, Seth Rogen as Mantis, Lucy Liu as Viper, David Cross as Crane and ... I'm not familiar with others at least by name.
the most important thing about the movie is that it make me laugh, I hadn't laughed for good period of time, I like it very much wish you too.
