Syskey

First, what is “syskey”?

SYSKEY is a utility that encrypts the hashed password information in a SAM database in a Windows system using a 128-bit encryption key.
SYSKEY was an optional feature added in Windows NT 4.0 SP3. It was meant to protect against offline password cracking attacks so that the SAM database would still be secure even if someone had a copy of it. However, in December 1999, a security team from Bind View found a security hole in SYSKEY which indicates that a certain form of cryptanalytic attack is possible offline. A brute force attack then appeared to be possible.
Microsoft later collaborated with Bind View to issue a fix for the problem (dubbed the ‘Syskey Bug’) which appears to have been settled and SYSKEY has been pronounced secure enough to resist brute force attack.
According to Todd Sabin of the Bind View team RAZOR, the pre-RC3 versions of Windows 2000 were also affected.
So this is pretty cool, right? Well, I really like the idea of keeping this on Floppy so that it requires a floppy disk (a sort of 2 factor (hardware/software) authentication?).
Naturally I wanted to go a bit further and use this on a USB drive instead of storing to a Floppy. I can’t see myself carrying a floppy and a USB floppy drive around with me. After all, this provides another layer of security.
NOTE: I haven’t tested copying data from 1 USB to another USB to see if it works as a backup. This way you could lock up a USB drive as a spare if needed.
Here’s how to get this to work using a USB drive.
1. Insert your USB drive into your system and wait for it to be recognized and install any necessary drivers.
2. Fire up disk management and re-assign the drive letter it was given to “A”.
Start up disk management by clicking Start and typing diskmgmt.msc

Right-click the USB drive and choose to assign driver letter or path.


Assign it to letter “A”


Accept the warning message
Now your USB drive is “A”
3. Run Syskey and save encryption to USB Drive “A”

Click Start and type syskey followed by hitting Enter


Syskey launched; Click “Update”

Choose “Store Startup key on floppy disk” and click “OK”

You’ll be prompted to enter your diskette. Make sure your USB drive is inserted and writable.
4. Reboot and have fun. Don’t lose your USB disk! Also, to revert this, you can run syskey again and choose to store it locally instead of “on a floppy disk”.
no credit taken but thanks and rep is optional

LCD Smartie

LCD Smartie is open-source software for Microsoft Windows which allows a character LCD display to be used as an auxiliary display device for a PC. Supported devices include displays based on the Hitachi HD44780 Controller, the Matrix Orbital Serial/USB LCD, and Palm OS devices (when used in conjunction with PalmOrb). The program has built in support for many systems statistics (i.e. cpu load, network utilization, free disk space...), downloading RSS feeds, Winamp integration and support for several other popular applications. To support less common applications LCD Smartie uses a powerful plugin system.

The project was started as freeware by Basie P who wrote it in delphi. After running the software as freeware from 2001 to late 2004, Basie P quit the project and passed it on to Chris Lansley as an Open Source project hosted on the Sourceforge servers. Chris Lansley maintained the project for few years, and now the whole project remains alive thanks to the program community. LCD Smartie is a relatively mature software and development of the main executable has slowed down considerably, most of the new features are introduced by new plugins which are released by both the core team and by the community. The LCD Smartie forums are quite active and are the primary source for support and developer discussion.

To facilitate the use of LCD Smartie on modern PCs running version of windows 7 and 8 the team has started working on a USB interface to connect LCD displays to a PC that does not require any additional kernel driver and provides a complete plug and play experience.

食物可以改变人的性格

生理学家和心理学家的研究表明，食物所具有的酸、甜、苦、辣、咸五味，有时能够左右人的性格。比方说，经常吃甜食的人性格温柔,对酸味情有独钟的人则少烦恼多快乐。

    食 物之所以会对人的性格有所影响，主要在于其所含的营养成分。例如，蔬菜中钾的含量较高，可促进钠的排泄，能够镇定神经，故常食蔬菜者的性格比较平和;水果 和粗面粉制品含有大量的维生素B，对抑郁症疗效显著;土豆、没有去掉表皮的粗面包以及蔬菜能使人的心情愉快;燕麦中含有使人快乐的物质，所以常常喝燕麦粥 的英国人性格较为幽默。

    性格不好的人，很有可能是他们的饮食中缺乏某种营养。那么，不同性格的人应该如何选择适合自己的食品呢?

    1.性格不稳定的人要多食用含钙丰富的大豆、蔬菜、牛奶、花生、橙、芝麻等，还应多食含磷丰富的栗子、杏、葡萄、虾、蟹、鸡肉、土豆、蛋黄等食物。

    2.易动怒的人应常食用贝、虾、蟹、鱼、海带等海产品以改善性格，稳定情绪。同时还要多吃富含维生素B的食物，如大蒜、油菜、土豆、茄子、南瓜、黄花菜、香蕉、苹果、玉米等。

    3.优柔寡断的人多食肉类，同时大量食用水果蔬菜，也可食用适量的辣椒。

    4.常感焦虑不安的人改变饮食的着眼点应该从安神入手，还应该多吃动物蛋白;口味要清淡，不能太咸。

    5.依赖性强的人要节制甜食，多吃碱性食物，常吃富含钙和维生素B1的食物。

    6.怕交际的人多吃蜂蜜加果汁，少量喝酒。

    7.顽固而无法变通的人多吃鱼和绿色、黄色的蔬菜。

Multiple IE

One big limitation in Internet Explorer is that we can't run different IE versions on a single system. Its a big problem mainly for webmasters. They design a website but they can't make sure whether the site will look OK in all IE version or not? It might look perfect in IE7 but there are big chances that it might look broken in IE6.
Other browsers like Firefox, Opera, etc allow to run different versions of their browsers on a single system but Microsoft has not made IE in such manner.
So here comes the "Internet Explorer Collection". Internet Explorer Collection allows to run multiple IE versions on a single system. Even you can run them simultaneously. You need to download the EXE file, install it and at the time of installation, you can select which IE versions do you want to install:

The collection contains all IE versions from 1.0 to 8.0:

• Internet Explorer 1.0 (4.40.0.308)
• Internet Explorer 1.5 (0.1.0.10)
• Internet Explorer 2.01 (2.1.0.46)
• Internet Explorer 3.0 (3.0.1152)
• Internet Explorer 4.01 (4.72.3110.0)
• Internet Explorer 5.01 (5.00.3314.2100)
• Internet Explorer 5.5 (5.51.4807.2300)
• Internet Explorer 6.0 (6.00.2800.1106)
• Internet Explorer 7.0 (7.0.5730.13)
• Internet Explorer 8.0 (8.0.6001.18372)

You can start any desired IE version from Start menu.
