Tyranny of autorun.inf

Irritated with the darn viruses...?
A friend of mine came up with this cool idea.

As u all might already know. Most of the viruses create an autorun.inf file (hidden obviously) in the drive. On double clicking the drive, the script is , triggering the virus (Trojans).

Here's the big idea, create a autorun.inf file (blank one) with read only and hidden attributes set. Paste this file in all your drives...even your pen drives. That way, even if a virus is present, it wont be able to create its own autorun.inf, as one already exists, i.e., with the read only permission.

Viola, the virus is as good as useless as it wont be triggered. This applies to most of them but not all.

Cool web pages...

Designing cool looking web pages is not a rocket science. Awesome effects can be acheived without javascript, flash etc etc...

Dont let these things deter you, best example is my friend vivek...with just 2-3 days of work he managed to make a gr8 web page (just needed to learn CSS). Take a look at his page.

Also he showed me some of the coolest web pages ever...very simple in concept and could have been implemented by YOU.

Check out Tyler's web page, this page takes time to load...let it load completely before clicking on any thing. This page was made using the '#' element...pretty cool nah!

Also there is a site called CSS beauty, it has a listing of all the cool web pages...hope this gives you enough inspiration to work on that innovate page of urs :)

Pic of the year...hehe

My stupid cousin naveen never misses opportunities to take ediotic pics of mine...not just mine but of every one else. This one was particularly funny...Believe it or not, that damn brown dog is just 5 months old (super big lol). Its gonna be like 90 kgs, but i still beat it in terms of weight :)
