Endhiran-The Robot

Endhiran : The Robot", the latest flick of superstar Rajinikanth made history in the USA with last weekend’s box office collection reaching $2 million, a record for a Tamil film.

Endhiran did this just in three days what the other movies collected for their entire run in the cinemas, this is much better than his previous big hit Sivaji, the boss.

The movie which was released worldwide on October 1 collected a whopping 95 crores($22.5 million) in the opening weekend in india alone which is by any parameter better than any of the big bollywood movies.
In the U.K. the movie was holding No. 9 position at the B.O. with $538,000 and in the United Arab Emirates it grossed $387,000.
Though there was a slow start for hindi version "Robot" it picked up well as saturday’s collection was bigger than friday and sunday was even bigger.

 Endhiran Robo Songs costumes for auction

Tamil Super star Rajnikanth and Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai starrer trilingual movie titled "ROBO" in Telugu has been released recently throughout the world and creating records in collections also.
endhiran-stills6 endhiran-stills4

Now a days auctioning the weapons used by the heroes in the films becomes a trend in Tollywood. The trend was started with Jr NTR’s Hat and Jerkin used in Adurs movie then Ram Charan’s Maghadeera Sword after that Sunil’s Maryada Ramanna’s Cycle ends with NBK’s Simha movie Axe recently.
Now the latest news is that the costumes worn by Super star Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the songs ‘Kilimanjaro…’ and ‘O Baby…’ of ROBO movie will be auctioned online with Mumbai as its center. So those who can afford it can bid on the exclusive designer pieces worn by two super stars in Robo/Robot/Endhiran. The money raised through this auction will go to the charity. This is a very good news for Rajini fans.

Rajini’s Million Dollar Question

 

What do you think that million dollar question is? If you are a Rajinikanth fan, that would obviously be, the Superstar’s entry to Politics! So what does he have to say?
As we all know, Rajini was in Mumbai to promote his ‘Robot’ and he invited all his Bollywood friends to watch the extravagant movie. And upon his arrival at the Mumbai airport on Monday morning (Oct 4th), a few reporters of leading News channels quizzed him as the Superstar was rushing his way through them!
endhiran-stills3 endhiran-stills2
One of the reporters even asked if a sequel to ‘Robot’ was being planned and only then the answer we all know came up, the superstar went on to say that he really didn’t know what Shankar had in mind but Rajni personally wanted a big break! Of course, he truly deserves it, as he was pretty busy with the shooting and promotion of ‘Endhiran’ besides taking care of his daughter’s wedding!
And before all the journalists thought of winding it up, an excited journo went on to ask the ‘Million Dollar Question’ – “Any plans to get in to politics?” and pat came the reply from the Superstar saying “No Comments”. Just to make sure if the answer was ‘No Plans’, the anxious journalist asked him the same question and even this time, with eyebrows raised the superstar with his characteristic laugh said “I said No Comments”!
Whoa, isn’t that heights of diplomacy? That answer – ‘No Comments’ is multidimensional! It’s got loads of meanings attached to it. And the last question a reporter asked was if the superstar had seen the opening ceremony of the Common Wealth Games? The Superstar told he saw the inauguration and he was really proud to see such a spectacular event.
And coming to the answer for the Million Dollar Question, the Superstar surely knows what could be misquoted and what can’t be! But what do you think; will Rajinikanth make an entry into politics?

Endhiran’ is excellent: Karunanidhi

 

Tamil Nadu Chief Minster and one of the most powerful politicians of the country, M Karunanidhi was like any other fan of Superstar Rajinikanth, while coming out of theatre after watching a first day show of ‘Endhiran’.
Endhiran-Movie-New-Photos-9“Endhiran is an excellent film. It is a very good movie in all aspects. The director’s imagination, the way the cinematographer has handled the camera and performance by Superstar Rajinikanth has impressed me a lot”, Karunanidhi said.
When asked about Sun Pictures, which has produced the multi-crore extravaganza directed by Shankar, the Chief Minister said: “Appreciating Sun Pictures is like appreciating me”.
On the film carrying a Tamil name ‘Endhiran’, which means a robot, Karunanidhi said, “That’s why we have given tax exemption to the movie”. He said ‘Endhiran’ is better than ‘Sivaji’, the earlier film of Rajinikanth.

Windows XP Tricks !!

Shutdown XP Faster
 

Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown windows
XP when the "Exit Windows" sound is enabled. To solve this problem you must disable this
useless sound.
· Click Start button.
· Go to settings > Control Panel > Sound, Speech and Audio devices > Sounds and Audio
Devices > Sounds.
· Then under program events and windows menu click on "Exit Windows" sub-menu and
highlight it. Now from sounds you can select, choose "none" and then click Apply and
OK.
Now you should see some improvements when shutting down your system.


  Turn Off System Restore to Save Space


By default, Windows XP keeps a backup of system files in the System Volume Information
folder. This can eat up valuable space on your hard drive. If you don't want Windows to
back up your system files:
· Open the Control Panel.
· Double-click on System.
· Click the System Restore tab.
· Check "Turn off System Restore on all drives".
· Hit Apply.
· You may now delete the System Volume Information folder.
Warning! If you turn this off you will not be able to use Windows System Restore to
restore your system in case of failure.
 
Correcting System Hang at Startup
 

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start
button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent
Transfer) running in the background. Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't
work for me. Here's what you do:
· Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
· Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.
· Disable it, apply the changes & reboot.








Disable XP Boot Logo  

It is possible to disable the XP splash screen, which will slightly speed up the
overall boot process. Be aware that removing the splash screen will also cause you not
to see any boot-up messages that might come up (chkdsk, convert ... ), but if your system
runs without any problems then it should not matter.
· Edit boot.ini.
· Add " /noguiboot" right after "/fastdetect".
Upon restarting, the splash screen will be gone. It can be re-enabled by removing the
new switch.


Remove Hibernation File
 

If you do not use hibernation, make sure you do not have it enabled, which reserves
disk space equal to your RAM. If you have a hidden file on the root directory of your
C-drive called hiberfil.sys, hibernation is enabled. To remove that file:
· Go to Control Panel, select Performance and Maintenance, Power Options, Hibernate
tab, and uncheck the Enable hibernation box.
 

Performance Increase Through My Computer
 

Easy enough tweak to usually find out about it on your own, but still, some of us
still don't find it right away. So here it is:
· Start > right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
· Click on the "Advanced" tab.
· See the "Performance" section? Click "Settings".
· Disable the following:
Fade or slide menus into view
Fade or slide ToolTips into view
Fade out menu items after clicking
Show Shadows under menus
Slide open combo boxes
Slide taskbar buttons
Use a background image for each folder type
Use common tasks in folders
There, now Windows will still look nice and perform faster.
Reduce 10 Second Scandisk Wait Time
· Start MS Dos Prompt (Start run CMD), and type: CHKNTFS /T:4
where 4 is the amount of wait time.
CHKNTFS /?
for more info.
 

DMA Mode on IDE Devices
 

Just like Windows 2000, Windows XP still fails to set the DMA mode correctly for the
IDE device designated as the slaves on the primary IDE and secondary IDE channels. Most
CD-ROMS are capable of supporting DMA mode, but the default in XP is still PIO. Setting
it to DMA won't make your CD-ROM faster, but it will consume less CPU cycles. Here's
how:
· Open the Device Manager. One way to do that is to right-click on "My Computer",
select the Hardware tab, and select Device Manager.
· Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" and double-click on "Primary IDE Channel".
· Under the "Advanced Settings" tab, check the "Device 1" setting. More than likely,
your current transfer mode is set to PIO.
· Set it to "DMA if available".
· Repeat the step for the "Secondary IDE Channel" if you have devices attached to it.
Reboot.

Top 10 Hacks of all time

Here is a list off the top 10 hacks of all time.
Early 1990s
Kevin Mitnick, often incorrectly called by many as god of hackers, broke into the computer systems of the world's top technology and telecommunications companies Nokia, Fujitsu, Motorola, and Sun Microsystems. He was arrested by the FBI in 1995, but later released on parole in 2000. He never termed his activity hacking, instead he called it social engineering.
November 2002
Englishman Gary McKinnon was arrested in November 2002 following an accusation that he hacked into more than 90 US military computer systems in the UK. He is currently undergoing trial in a British court for a "fast-track extradition" to the US where he is a wanted man. The next hearing in the case is slated for today.
1995
Russian computer geek Vladimir Levin effected what can easily be called The Italian Job online - he was the first person to hack into a bank to extract money. Early 1995, he hacked into Citibank and robbed $10 million. Interpol arrested him in the UK in 1995, after he had transferred money to his accounts in the US, Finland, Holland, Germany and Israel.
1990
When a Los Angeles area radio station announced a contest that awarded a Porsche 944S2 for the 102nd caller, Kevin Poulsen took control of the entire city's telephone network, ensured he is the 102nd caller, and took away the Porsche beauty. He was arrested later that year and sentenced to three years in prison. He is currently a senior editor at Wired News.
1983
Kevin Poulsen again. A little-known incident when Poulsen, then just a student, hacked into Arpanet, the precursor to the Internet was hacked into. Arpanet was a global network of computers, and Poulsen took advantage of a loophole in its architecture to gain temporary control of the US-wide network.
1996
US hacker Timothy Lloyd planted six lines of malicious software code in the computer network of Omega Engineering which was a prime supplier of components for NASA and the US Navy. The code allowed a "logic bomb" to explode that deleted software running Omega's manufacturing operations. Omega lost $10 million due to the attack.
1988
Twenty-three-year-old Cornell University graduate Robert Morris unleashed the first Internet worm on to the world. Morris released 99 lines of code to the internet as an experiment, but realised that his program infected machines as it went along. Computers crashed across the US and elsewhere. He was arrested and sentenced in 1990.
1999
The Melissa virus was the first of its kind to wreak damage on a global scale. Written by David Smith (then 30), Melissa spread to more than 300 companies across the world completely destroying their computer networks. Damages reported amounted to nearly $400 million. Smith was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison.
2000
MafiaBoy, whose real identity has been kept under wraps because he is a minor, hacked into some of the largest sites in the world, including eBay, Amazon and Yahoo between February 6 and Valentine's Day in 2000. He gained access to 75 computers in 52 networks, and ordered a Denial of Service attack on them. He was arrested in 2000.
1993
They called themselves Masters of Deception, targeting US phone systems. The group hacked into the National Security Agency, AT&T, and Bank of America. It created a system that let them bypass long-distance phone call systems, and gain access to the pbx of major carriers.

Full Screen Mode for Turbo c on Vista and Windows 7

This is a big question for those who are still using Turbo C++ Version 3.0 in Windows Vista. As everyone knows that full screen is not supported with the version 3.0 in Vista; it is ridiculous to work in the small screen where I think no one can ever imagine writing a program there! This solution will help all the C, C++ learners using TC++ 3.0 in Vista.
This is a simple technique. Just follow the simple 4 steps given below and get a big screen in few seconds. There is no need of any additional softwares or drivers.
Step 1: Open TC++ (normally C:\TC\BIN\TC.EXE). In the startup it will show a dialogue box that it doesn’t support full screen mode as seen in the picture below. Just select ignore option. Then it will open the small screen mode.
Note: Please Click on the images to enlarge
Step 2: Go to the top left of the window and click. It will show a menu as shown in the figure. Then select properties from the menu.
Step 3: Now it will show the properties window, in which you select the Font tab. There you can see two font options as Raster and Lucida Console. The default will be Raster. You select Lucida Console and select the size from the size list as 28.
Step 4: After selecting the fonts, now you have to select the layout tab where you can see screen buffer size, window size, and window position options. First unselect the “Let system position window” option from window position options. Now make the following changes:
  • Screen Buffer Size: Width: 82 Height: 28
  • Window Size: Width: 80 Height: 26
  • Window Position: Left: -4 Top: -4
After making the changes select OK.
Now you will see a larger window and very crisp font size in which you can work perfectly fine. This technique actually doesn’t provide full screen in Vista but you will find it much better.
NB: The given sizes will work fine for 1280 by 800 screens, but there is no compulsion that you have to use them as specified. You can always use your own options according to your need.
