Windows XP SP3 RC2 available to download

The only way i was able to ever see the SP3 in update: fresh install of sp3, run the reg before doing any updates!. Run your updates. reboot, more updates, reboot, wash rinse repeat. Make sure to set windows update site to show betas before beginning any of the updates. 90 billion updates and a good 90 minutes later, SP3 will show as available for download.

The first two time, I saw SP3, but it failed to install. 4 more tries resulted in no SP3 showing. 5th time it showed, and the entire interface for the SP3 on update site was different than the first two attempts. The window to select it was different, the download progress window was different, everything was different from the first two attempts. I think someone forgot a line of code or something when it was first announced and after a flood of forum posts, the download problem was fixed.

SP3 from this source is build 3311 .

Download the script and run it on a machine currently running Windows XP Service Pack 2. The script sets a registry key on your system. The registry key is required for Windows Update to recognize your machine as a valid target for Windows XP Service Pack 3 RC2.

Mozilla has announced the new thunderbird 3 as Mozilla Messaging

David Ascher, announced today the launch of Mozilla Messaging, Inc., a fully-owned Mozilla Foundation subsidiary (hence, sister of Mozilla Corporation) dedicated to advancing Internet messaging.As announced and discussed before, Mozilla is aiming to develop the Internet messaging area as well as the web browsing side and after years of developing Firefox and Thunderbird as Mozilla Corporation corporation, they found competition of both products for human, time and technological resources was slowing both products’ development.

On July last year, Mitchell Baker, then Mozilla Corporation’s CEO, announced that they would look for other organizational options for Thunderbird. Discussion ensued and a couple of months later it was decided that a subsidiary (nicknamed MailCo) would be created and led by David Ascher, with an initial $3 million in funding.

In the following months, David led the effort to make the subsidiary a reality while catching up with the present status of Thunderbird, now Mozilla Messaging’s base product, exploring ways to attain financial sustainability, and hiring, a critical task especially after Thunderbird’s main developers suddenly leave Mozilla a few weeks after the announcement of the subsidiary.

Mozilla Messaging board is integrated by David Ascher; Christopher Beard, VP and General Manager, Mozilla Labs; and Marten Mickos, CEO of open source database vendor MySQL AB.

In the press release, Marten, is described as an old friend of Mozilla with plenty of high management experience. Sun, which recently acquired MySQL AB, is also an important contributor to the Lightning project, a Thunderbird extension that adds calendaring capabilities, and will be integrated with Thunderbird 3, targeted for later this year.

In a blog post, David Ascher, who will report to Mozilla Messaging board of directors only, provides some details on the spirit of Mozilla Messaging as a project as well as some details of his short and long term vision.

Google won’t search for Chuck Norris, because it’s knows he finds you

If u try "find Chuck Norris" on google, and press "i’m Feeling Lucky", you can’t have an answer or any result. Why, because its knows, Chuck Norris will find you.

Then its suggest you to:

• Run, before he finds you
• Try a different person

Try your self.

The Most Expensive Tiny Toy Car Ever - $140K

This $140,000 Hot Wheels car is allegedly the most expensive toy car in the world, created to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Mattel’s tiny cars and show why Humanity has way too much free time. Why is it so expensive? As you can see in the glittery images, it is all about the 23-carat bling-bling.

Hot Wheels® Kicks off 40th Anniversary with Unveil of Diamond-Encrusted Car at New York Toy Fair

Year-Long Celebration Activities Include Designer’s Challenge™ Die-Cast Car Line, Cross Country Road Trip and Auction of One-of-a-Kind Jeweled Car

American International Toy Fair 2008
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hot Wheels® today announced its year-long plans to celebrate the brand’s 40-year heritage at the 105th American International Toy Fair®. Anniversary activities were kicked off with the unveiling of a custom jeweled 1:64-scale Hot Wheels® car, designed by celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills. This one-of-a-kind car, the most expensive in Hot Wheels® history, was made to commemorate the production of the 4 billionth Hot Wheels® vehicle.

The diamonds on the custom-made jeweled car, valued at $140,000, total more than 2,700 and weigh nearly 23 carats in total weight. The car is cast in 18-karat white gold with the majority of the vehicle detailed with micro pave-set brilliant blue diamonds, mimicking the Hot Wheels® Spectraflame® blue paint. Under the functional hood, the engine showcases additional micro pave-set white and black diamonds. The Hot Wheels® flame logo found on the underbelly of the car is lined with white and black diamonds. Red rubies are set as the tail lights, while black diamonds and red enamel create the “red line” tires. The custom-made case that houses the jewel-encrusted vehicle also holds 40 individual white diamonds, signifying each year in the legacy of Hot Wheels®.

“Collaborating with Mattel on the jeweled Hot Wheels car was a dream project for me,” said Jason Arasheben, president & CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills. “The car is truly spectacular and will be a brilliant addition to anyone’s collection.”

The vehicle was unveiled by multi-platinum recording artist and car enthusiast, Nick Lachey, who grew up playing with the die-cast car line. In late 2008, this unique Hot Wheels® vehicle will be auctioned off to benefit Lachey’s charity of choice, Big Brothers Big Sisters.

“Since its introduction, Hot Wheels has revolutionized boys’ toys and inspired automotive trends,” said Tim Kilpin, general manager and senior vice president, Boys and Entertainment, Mattel Brands. “The historic activities we have planned are a fitting tribute to the brand’s heritage and will allow us, and our fans, to celebrate this milestone year in true Hot Wheels style.”

Adsense kena disable

pagi ni, lepas bangun, saja je bukak adsense. tetiba takleh masuk. katanya kena disable. bukan sebab fraud click (semestinya). sebab aku tak pernah gatal2 tangan pegi klik benda alah tu.

aku log in masuk mail aku utk check email yang di hantar. yup, ada. katanya:

While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense
account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since
keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage
our advertisers in the future, we’ve decided to disable your account.

Please understand that we consider this a necessary step to protect the
interests of both our advertisers and our other AdSense publishers. We
realize the inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you in
advance for your understanding and cooperation.

apa malang nasib aku… bila masa aku ada post a significant risk?

aku try pikir2 balik…. sah, memang takde… ataupun ada tapi aku tak tahu? takde kot…
