Creating Strong Passwords

For a password to be strong, it should:

Be at least seven characters long. Because of the way passwords are encrypted, the most secure passwords are seven or 14 characters long. Contain characters from each of the following three groups: Group Examples Letters (uppercase and lowercase) A, B, C... (and a, b, c...) Numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Symbols (all characters not defined as letters or numerals) ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = { } | [ ] \ : " ; ' < > ? , . /

Have at least one symbol character in the second through sixth positions. Be significantly different from prior passwords. Not contain your name or user name. Not be a common word or name. Passwords can be the weakest link in a computer security scheme. Strong passwords are important because password cracking tools continue to improve and the computers used to crack passwords are more powerful than ever. Network passwords that once took weeks to crack can now be cracked in hours.

Password cracking software uses one of three approaches: intelligent guessing, dictionary attacks, and automation that tries every possible combination of characters. Given enough time, the automated method can crack any password. However, it still can take months to crack a strong password.

Windows passwords can be up to 127 characters long. However, if you are using Windows XP on a network that also has computers using Windows 95 or Windows 98, consider using passwords not longer than 14 characters. Windows 95 and Windows 98 support passwords of up to 14 characters. If your password is longer, you may not be able to log on to your network from those computers.

How not to Get Banned from AdSense

After researching on different site's about how and why? people get banned from google adsense ... i have came up some tips, so that couldnt get banned from adsense.



1. Don’t click on your own Google ads - I suspect this is the most common reason people are banned. You can’t click your own ads for any reason. If you want to see where an ad leads to type in the URL from the ad or use the AdSense Preview tool (if you’re an IE user)

2. Don’t ask others to click on Google ads - I regularly see people doing this - especially when they first put ads on their blogs. Be very careful about what you do say about your ads. Sometimes even an indirect comment or a ‘hint’ can be construed as encouraging people to click ads - it’s just not worth it.

3. Don’t place Google ads on sites that contain prohibited content - Family friendly content is the way AdSense likes to go. This means you can’t put ads on gambling sites, sites with adult content or with profanity (to name just a few things they prohibit). Get a full list of what you should avoid in their policies.

4. Provide a positive user experience - Again Google puts it best - ‘Sites that contain excessive pop-ups, use sneaky redirects to obtain traffic, or otherwise attempt to interfere with normal web navigation aren’t permitted in the AdSense network.’

5. Don’t employ pop-up prompts or automatic software installations - I’ve been interested to see a number of publishers doing this lately by putting pop ups with ads in them on their pages or putting popups directly next to ads to draw the eye to them. Neither method is within the AdSense TOS.

6. Be aware of how your site is promoted - Another reason I’ve seen publishers banned for is sending traffic to their site that is not ‘good’ traffic. Paid to surf programs are one example of bad traffic which you can get in trouble for. These days Google has impression based ads as well as CPC ones and if you’re driving thousands of visitors to a site that is not legitimate traffic you’ll get in trouble. When in doubt about whether to go with a traffic generating system you should check with AdSense first.

7. Respect Google trademarks - Google writes - ‘Framing or mimicking Google pages is strictly prohibited by our Guidelines for Use of Google Brand Features.’

8. Don’t tamper with the AdSense code - Unless you have permission you shouldn’t change the core AdSense code. Some publishers have agreements with Google to do this but if you’re a normal publisher you are not allowed to make such changes. Again - if in doubt contact the AdSense team.

9. Provide a good environment for advertisers - AdSense juggles the expectations and value it offers to three groups - ‘publishers’, ‘viewers of ads’ and ‘advertisers’. As publishers we tend to lose site of the rest of the equation, especially the advertisers - but ultimately unless they are getting value for money they won’t advertise and the whole system falls down. In short Google will ban you if they feel you’re doing anything to trick your readers into clicking ads (ie ripping off advertisers).

10. Be responsive - If AdSense tells you to jump - you say ‘how high?’ If you get an email from AdSense it’s important to reply (if they ask for a response) and to comply with what they ask you to do (or to politely explain your situation. I find that in most of my interactions with the AdSense team that they genuinely want you to do well as a publisher as it means that they do well also. While you might sometimes feel like you’re talking to a machine (their stock standard emails can be annoying) if you persist in emailing them you generally end up talking to a human and find that they are willing to listen and help you find a solution to any issues you’re having.

11. Posting a job on rentacoder and getting people from different countries to click your ads.

12. Don't use AdSense on pages that also contain ads from other advertisers (yahoo publisher program).

BEAUTY TIPS

Beauty Tips For attractive lips, speak words of kindness

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
and redeemed; never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,

And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

100 Days Together!!!


Peter and Tina are sitting in the park doing nothing but just gazing
into the sky, while all their friends are having fun with their better
halves.

Tina: I'm so bored. Just wish I had a boyfriend now to spend time with.

Peter: I guess we're the only ones left out. We're the only two who
don't have dates now.

(Both are silent)

Tina: I think I have an idea. Lets play a game.

Peter: Huh? What game?

Tina: Mmmm...It's quite simple. You be my boyfriend for 100 days and
I'll be your girlfriend for 100 days. What do you think?

Peter: Well! I don't think I have any plans for the next few months so why not?

Tina: You sound like you aren't really looking forward to it at all.
Cheer up. Today will be our first day and our first date. So, where
should we go?

Peter: What about a movie? I heard there is this really great movie
playing in the theatre now.

Tina: I can't think of anything better, so...let's move.

(Went to watch the movie and sent each other home)

Day 2:

Peter and Tina went to a concert together, and Peter bought Tina a key
chain with a star.

Day 3:

They went shopping together for a friend's birthday present. Shared an
ice cream together and hugged each other for the first time.

Day 7:

Peter drove Tina up onto a mountain and they watch the sunset
together. When the night came and the moon glowed, they said sat on
the grass gazing at the stars together. A meteor passed by. Tina
mumbled something.

Day 25:

Spent time at a theme park and got onto roller coasters, ate hotdogs
and cotton candy. Peter and Tina got in the haunted house and Tina
grabbed someone's hand instead of Peter's hand by accident. They
rolled in laughter thinking about it, later.

Day 67:

They drove pass a circus and decided to get in to watch the show. The
midget asked Tina to play a part as his assistant in the magic show.
Went around to see other entertainments around after the show. Came to
a fortune teller and she just said "Treasure every moment from now on"
and a tear rolled down the fortune teller's cheek.

Day 84:

Tina suggested that they go to the beach. The beach wasn't so crowded
that day. They have their first kiss with each other just as the sun
is setting.

Day 99:

They decide to have a simple day and choose to walk around the city.

1:23 pm

Tina: I'm thirsty. Lets rest for a while.

Peter: Wait here while I go buy some drinks. What would you like?

Tina: Mmm...Apple juice will be just fine.

1:43 pm

Tina waits for about 20 minutes but Peter still hasn't returned. Then
someone walked up to her.

Stranger: Are you Tina?

Tina: Yes, and may I help you?

Stranger: Just now down there on the street a drunk driver has crashed
into a guy. I think it's your friend.

Tina ran over to the spot with the stranger and sees Peter lying on
the floor with blood over his face and her apple juice still in his
hands. The ambulance came and she went to the hospital with Peter.

Tina sat outside the emergency room for five and a half hours. The
doctor comes out...

11:51 pm

Doctor: I'm sorry, but we did the best we could. He is still breathing
now but God will take him away from us very soon.

We found this letter in his pocket.

The doctor hands over the letter to Tina and she goes into the room to
see Peter. He looks weak but peaceful. Tina read the letter and then
she burst into tears. Here is what the letter said.

Tina, our 100 days is almost over. I had fun with you during all these
days. Although you may have been greedy sometimes and less thoughtful,
you yet brought happiness into my life. I have realized that you are a
really cute girl and blamed myself for never have taken the time to
knowing you before. I have nothing much to ask for. But I just wish
that we could extend our days. I want to be your boyfriend...forever,
and wish that you be beside me all the time.

Tina, I love you.

11:58

Tina: (sobbing) Peter. Do you know what was the wish I made on the
night there was a meteor. I asked God to let us last forever. We were
supposed to last 100 days, Peter! You can't leave me! I LOVE YOU. Can
you please come back to me now? I love you Peter. I LOVE YOU.

As the clock struck twelve, Peter's heart stopped beating. It was 100 days.

Tell the guy or girl that you love them before its too late. You never
know what's going to happen tomorrow. You never know who will be
leaving you, never to return.

*Please pass this on to all you know...you do not know who's close to
their 100th day

Mom, you owe me $14.75

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and he handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: .50
Babysitting my kid brother while you went shopping: .25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For 9 months I carried you while you were growing inside me: No Charge.
For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge.
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No Charge.
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead: No Charge.
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge,
Son. When you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.
When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said,

"Mom, I sure do love you".

And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL"

The young girl who isn't an atheist like her teacher

A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they're atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Zainab has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not an atheist."

Then, asks the teacher, "What are you?" "I'm a Muslim." The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Zainab why she is a Muslim. "Well, I was brought up knowing and loving God. My mom is a Muslim, and my dad is a Muslim, so I am a Muslim."
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly, "what if your mom was a moron,and your dad was a moron, - what would you be then?" She paused, and smiled. "Then," says Zainab, "I'd be an atheist."

[a moron is a dumb, stupid person]

Funny story of three friends who came to the New York City

Not long ago, three friends came to the New York city. They decided to stay in a hotel during the visit. It so happened that their room ended up being on the 60th floor. The policy of the hotel was that everynight after 12:00 a.m. the elevators are shut down for security reasons. So on the next day, the three friends rented a car and went out to explore the city. They enjoyed movies, concerts, and other things throughout the whole day. At one point, they remembered that they have to get back to the hotel before 12 a.m. When they arrived, it was beyond 12 a.m. at night. The elevators were shut down. There was no other way to get back to their room but to take the stairs all the way to the 60th floor. All of a sudden, one friend got an idea. He said "For the first 20 floors, I will tell jokes to keep us going. Then another one of us could say wisdom stories for the next 20 floors. Finally, we will cover the other 20 floors with sad stories." So, one of the friends started with the jokes. With laughs and joy, they reached the 20th floor. Now, another friend started saying stories that are full of wisdom. So, they learned a lot while reaching the 40th floor. Now, it was time for the sad stories. So, the third friend started thus, "My first sad story is that I left the key for the room in the car."

Now, what is the point of this story? This story resembles our life cycle. For the first 20 years of our life, we spend time in joking and enjoying whatever is out there. Then, after we reach 20, we go into the work force, get marriead, have kids and this is the time when we use our wisdom. Then, if we reach 40, we finally see the white hairs and begin to think that my life is coming to an end and the sadness begins.

It's better that we start our life in the very beginning by remembering death rather than preparing for it at the end our life when very few of us have the energy to obey Allah completely.
