This lady has changed her habit on the hand phone after her handbag was stolen.

Her handbag which contain her mobile, credit card, purse..etc….was stolen. 20min later when she called her hubby, telling him what happened. Husband says “I’ve just received your SMS asking about our Pin number. And I’ve replied a little while ago”. When they rushed down to the bank. Bank staff told them all the $ already been withdrawn. The pickpocket have actually use the stolen handphone to sms “hubby” and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 mins withdraw all the money from the bank account.

Rhodium is a hard durable metal and is considered by many as the brightest “white” metal of the entire platinum metals family. It has exceptional resistance to oxidation under very extreme environmental conditions.

Objects plated with ruthenium have exceptional resistance to scratching and abrasion. In fact ruthenium plated finishes are the hardest and toughest of all the plating choices we offer.

Microsoft Windows Media – Windows Media Player 10 gives you more music and more choices, and for the first time makes it possible to sync high-quality music, video, and photos to the latest portable devices.

Why was the term copying in Media Player 9 changed to ripping in Media Player 10 ?

Answers.com: ripping : …Ripping is nothing more than CD-DA (audio CD) to MP3 conversion; however, when the term was coined, it had a perverse meaning.

Most of us use forward slash in URLs e.g., href=”/2005/200501/” – I recently came across a site with url href=” \ 2005 \ 200501 \ ”

Both of the above urls are generated as /2005/200501/ in IE, while in Firefox, former is /2005/200501/ while latter becomes /2005/200501/20050126/\2005\200501\20050126\

Firefox Help: Reporting Bugs states …There are four crucial steps that you should follow before filing your first bug report:…

1) Use the latest nightly build of Firefox with a new profile >>> Am downloading the latest nightly build – firefox-1.0+.en-US.win32.installer.exe – 25-Jan-2005 – 17:43 – 4.6M

2) Check if you can reproduce the bug in Mozilla (Application Suite) >>> Bug is reproducable in the latest builds of both Firefox and Mozilla

3) Check if the bug is already filed >>> whoa! – The Firefox Bug List is Long !

4) Finally, read the official Bug Writing Guidelines : “…The Mozilla bug tracking system (Bugzilla) allows any interested individuals on the Internet to directly report and track bugs in mozilla.org open-source projects like the Mozilla Application Suite or Mozilla Firefox…” >>> Done !

Enter a bug : “50% of the bugs filed in Bugzilla are duplicates” – Oh !

searched with “slash” and there seems to be nothing similar…
