A little smile please.

How many times that you have noticed on your way to work or studies about the faces that comes right into your way, walking out like they had the worst day ever in their life, they seems to be on their way to hell with a dark face. The human nature is embedded with lots of emotions, one is smile, with a smile you can express your feelings in many ways, What I believe, the smile is there to show someone that you ain' t got a problem with him/her. some thinks that if you smiled at a stranger, that they would take it in the wrong track, believe what you wanna believe the number of freaks in the world is unlimited,

I don't know, when I see a person who comes into my way with a dark face early in the morning on my way to work, I feel like

"damn..! this idiot just f#$%ed up my day, and I walk with a f#$%ed up face to my office."

ok, the bottom line. there is nothing wrong walking with a little smile in your face, even though you are having a hard time, why would you wanna the world to know about it, it doesn't help to sort out your problem, so walk with a little smile in your face, it will make you feel better when the person who comes right at you smile back to you. and that will refresh the day of somebody else too

Ajax a new approach to web applications

Defining Ajax
Ajax isn’t a technology. It’s really several technologies, each flourishing in its own right, coming together in powerful new ways. Ajax incorporates:
standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS;
dynamic display and interaction using the Document Object Model;
data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT;
asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest;
and JavaScript binding everything together.
The classic web application model works like this: Most user actions in the interface trigger an HTTP request back to a web server. The server does some processing — retrieving data, crunching numbers, talking to various legacy systems — and then returns an HTML page to the client. It’s a model adapted from the Web’s original use as a hypertext medium, but as fans of The Elements of User Experience know, what makes the Web good for hypertext doesn’t necessarily make it good for software applications.

No Private Vistas - Computerworld:

"Think Microsoft Vista's latest schedule slip doesn't matter? Think again. Sure, last week's announcement -- that the next version of Windows won't be out in time for holiday sales -- is more an industry sideshow than a big deal for corporate IT. It'll stunt PC sales at the end of this year and give Microsoft-haters something more to bleat about. But for most IT shops, that delay just means we'll start testing Vista a little later.
Forget those details. Look at the big picture, and you'll see a nasty object lesson in what happens when you (and others) put too much trust in your ability to deliver software.
That's what Microsoft executives did. That's also what vendors and IT industry pundits did, which is why words like 'bombshell' and 'unthinkable' are being tossed around to describe the 'Vista slips' announcement. They believed. They trusted.
They shouldn't have.
Vista is the most complicated software product in Microsoft's history, incorporating higher- quality standards and a new approach to software projects -- and facing the same old 'keep piling on the new features' culture. That's nothing to inspire confidence in a firm delivery date. "

OCTOMATICS.
the octomatics-project is about a new number system
which has a lot of advantages over our old decimal system.
the name comes from the mixture of 'octal' and 'mathematics'.

what do you think: why do we have the decimal system
in our western world? because of our 10 fingers? why
do we have 7 days a week? why are 60 seconds 1 minute
and 60 minutes 1 hour? why do we have 24 hours a day?
and 31 or 30 days a month? do you think thats a really
good solution? well, here is another one:

CombBox Control on Visual Basic 6

OK,this post may be a joke to most VB programmers but, one of my friends ask me this question, so I though to post it in here so others who have the same problem this will help.


Fill a ComboBox with items.

Private Sub Form_Load ()
   Combo1.AddItem "Chardonnay"
   Combo1.AddItem "Fum Blanc"
   Combo1.AddItem "Gewrztraminer"
   Combo1.AddItem "Zinfandel"
End Sub

Clear the ComboBox

Private Sub cmdClear_Click ()
   Combo1.Clear
End Sub

Remove a Specific Item

Syntax : ControlName.RemoveItem index

Example : Combo1.RemoveItem 2

Above line removes 3rd item in the Combo1 Control.

Access to a specific Item
if you waant to access to a specific item in the ComboBox, you can use
following method to do so.

Text1.Text = Combo1.List(2)

above line will copy the 3rd Item text in ot the TextBox.

so I'll stop from here. please use comments, if you have any problems.
