URL Zone: New Computer Virus

source: cbs42.com

You've heard of identity theft leading to an empty bank account, but thanks to a new computer virus, it's even easier to end up with a zero balance.

The latest in Trojan horse viruses is known as URL Zone, and it steals money from your bank account while you are logged into it online. The virus is so advanced; it can display a fake balance, making you think your money is still there. Experts say steer clear of trouble by deleting suspicious emails and not clicking on unknown web links. Also, check your security software.

"Update your anti-virus, update your spy ware, whatever the things you might use, try to keep it up to date if there are security problems, it'll be taken care of automatically," says Dr. Marcus Brown.

Once the URL Zone virus infects a computer, there's no way to get a clear check of your current bank balance. The only way to do so is by using an un-infected computer, or getting in touch with your bank directly via phone or in person.

NETTUTS: How to Make AJAX Requests With Raw Javascript

Javascript frameworks have turned simple AJAX functions into one-liners. This is quite incredible, considering the fact that it would require more than twenty to accomplish the same thing with raw Javascript. Nevertheless, it's important to learn what's "under the hood".

Created by Jeffrey Way.

video: NETTUTS: How to Build a Super Duper News Scroller

This week, we'll learn how to combine PHP, SimplePie, and jQuery to build a simple news scroller widget for your website. It's much easier than you might think; so let's begin. Created by Jeffrey Way.

video: Building a Customized and Dynamic Ordering Form

2009-06-30_102521

Real-life clients have real-life needs for their websites. They don’t care about your fancy RSS feeds and AJAX, they just want their website to do what they tell you they want it to do. In this screencast I walk through an example feature I am building for a real-life client who needed some very specific functionality built into a page. It is an ordering process that needs to check for a valid zip code, and then do a bunch of custom calculations based on quantities, shipping costs, etc. Both jQuery and PHP are used to do the heavy lifting

Display Hidden Files Using FileZilla

FileZilla, which is frequently referred to as FireZilla, is a really nice free FTP utility. If you have not used it, it really does deserve a test drive because its features easily compare to paid FTP utilities, such as CuteFTP and WS_FTP.

You can find FileZilla here:

Download FileZilla from SourceForge.net

The default installation of FileZilla, like most FTP utilities, does not display hidden files such as the Linux and Unix .htaccess file. Enabling the viewing of hidden files with FileZilla is pretty simple, but not very obvious. After starting FileZilla 2.x, select the View menu at the top and then select Show Hidden Files. In FileZilla 3.x it was moved to Server and then select Force showing hidden files.

Version 2.x - View > Show hidden files

Version 3.x - Server > Force showing hidden files

That’s all there is to it! You should now be able to see hidden files on your server when using FileZilla. 

BTW, FileZilla is frequently referred to as FireZilla. They are one and the same

Smart Hardware Purchases for Developers



I found this article very important so i liked to added to my blog so i have resumed it . Michael K. Campbell says:

As developers, we spend a lot of time working on the ins and outs of software. But hardware plays a huge role in our lives, and it can make a difference in both the quality and quantity of the software we're able to create. I share my hardware purchasing secrets with you:
desktop or laptop; multiple monitors—good or bad; buying speed for your hard drives; and what about those Solid State Drives.

Some Lessons to Learn from Farming

There are two big lessons that developers and IT shops can learn from farming. First,
spending money to make money makes sense. Just as increased adoption of mechanization and automation have boosted the productivity levels of individual farmers, improved access to hardware for developers can boost their productivity and make built testing and validation logic that much more capable of creating better software. This increase in productivity can definitely
translate into better revenues or decreased development costs for internal applications.

But the second
lesson to learn is to spend cautiously: today's farmers are typically in debt to the tune of millions of dollars in order to afford all of the equipment needed to make them productive. A single bad season can reduce income enough to make them default on loans and ruin them financial ruin. So, while paying for increased productivity makes sense, it obviously needs to be balanced with some caution. With that in mind, I thought I would touch on hardware enhancements that have
helped boost my productivity without causing me to bet the farm.

Desktops vs. Laptops

I'm always amazed at the number of organizations that think having their developers program primarily from laptops makes sense. Until I learned better, I used to be a pretty big proponent of laptops myself. By regularly buying what I called “kitchen sink” laptops (big, beefy laptops with everything in them including the kitchen sink), I was able to get decent enough processors and disks to handle development tasks without what I thought were any significant issues. But I found that I was frequently upgrading to new machines to take advantage of increased processing power. The reason for that, obviously, is that laptops aren't really built with expandability or extensibility in mind.

About two years ago I ditched using a laptop as my PRIMARY machine, and invested a bit
of time in researching a desktop that I built myself. Above and beyond the benefits of an adult-sized keyboard, the performance I've enjoyed from this machine over the years has been beyond reproach. More importantly, by upgrading components here and there (more RAM, better disks, and so on), I've been able to keep my primary desktop insanely fast and responsive. Now I think that I’d only buy a new machine (fully two years later) for fun, not out of necessity. For example, I currently have a 5.4 performance score in Windows Vista; another $400 would let me get a 5.9 if I wanted it by upgrading to some faster RAM and a slightly faster CPU. More importantly, if I want to upgrade to a new Core i7 processor, I just need to buy a new CPU, motherboard, and some RAM, which I could do for much less than trying to find a new
kitchen-sink laptop that was beefy enough to meet my needs.

So, from atop my soapbox, I'd encourage anyone within the sound of my voice to drop
laptops as primary developer machines wherever possible. Yes, your developers may still need a laptop for on-site meetings and such. But unless you're actively developing in multiple locations, just get a smaller laptop or net-book that meets your mobility needs, and save your budget for a more beefy box back in the office where you're actively writing and testing code. [...]

Multiple Monitors

The benefits of multiple monitors have been touted to death on the web.
So I won't belabor the point here, other than to say that if you're not
using multiple monitors in your primary development environment, then
you're taking a massive productivity hit. In fact, traditional
sentiment is that a second monitor adds about 20-30% to productivity,
but I'd personally suspect that it's just a bit higher for developers
as we're frequently engaged in activities (such as debugging) where not
having to switch back and forth from one screen to another can save us
a lot of time. Best of all, multiple monitors typically don't cost that
much. In fact, a top-of-the-line 20" widescreen can typically come in
at less than $200—a paltry amount to spend in order to pick up a
greater than 20% productivity boost. [...]

Faster Drives

The best way to
get a faster hard-drive is to get drives with the fastest rotation
speed possible, because faster rotation speeds yield decreased seek
times and improved throughput. Consequently, a 7200RPM drive is roughly
30% faster than a 5400RPM drive. Likewise, a 10,000RPM drive is 30%
faster than a 7200RPM drive—and nearly twice as fast as a 5400 RPM
drive. In server environments, disk speed (and bus type/speed) are
critical considerations for success when provisioning new systems, but
spindle speed frequently gets overlooked when purchasing commodity
desktops and laptops where 5400 RPM drives are a common occurrence.

Scott Guthrie actually touched upon the benefits of faster hard-drives a while back in a blog-post dedicated to improving Visual Studio performance.
And, happily, even if you're running a laptop, it's pretty easy to
switch to a 7200RPM drive if you find you're running a 5400 RPM drive.
Even better, if you're using a desktop (that supports an SATA bus),
then 7200 RPM drives are a dime a dozen, and you can even swing for
10,000RPM disk for pretty cheap. This will provide some great
throughput, improved build times and speeds, along with making your
overall system a bit peppier and more responsive.

Since I work with
Virtual Machines and video a lot, I'm also a huge proponent of using
RAID-0 as a way to boost disk performance. For the uninitiated,
Wikipedia's summary of RAID-0 provides a quick overview of the benefits
of using a RAID-0:

A RAID 0 (also known as a stripe set or striped volume)
splits data evenly across two or more disks (striped) with no parity
information for redundancy ... RAID 0 is normally used to increase
performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a small
number of large virtual disks out of a large number of small physical
ones.

The key to
figuring out whether a RAID-0 will be beneficial to you is in knowing a
bit about the stripe-size used to split up data between the members of
your RAID. Typically this stripe size is between 64KB and 128KB, so any
files you access or write that are smaller than this stripe-size won't
be able to benefit from having a RAID-0. Given that the VAST majority
of operating system and application interactions with the
disk-subsystem are with smaller files, a RAID-0 usually won't give you
tons of benefit in day-to-day operations. But, if you routinely work
with larger files (especially if you're moving them around a lot) then
you'll notice some tangible improvements from using a RAID-0. More
importantly, having a RAID-0 on your system won't slow you down in any
way, it ONLY offers performance benefits where possible.

Of course, there
is a common sentiment among many gaming enthusiasts and developers that
tends to discredit the use of RAID-0 in desktop environments - mostly
because the performance benefits are strictly limited to larger files
and because of some idiotic notion that having a RAID-0 puts your data
at greater risk. Frankly, that notion is crap. To be certain: with a
RAID-0 in play you're splitting data across multiple drives to the
point where if a single hard-drive in the RAID-0 fails, you lose ALL of
your data - with no exceptions. My retort to that worry though is that
a physical hard-drive failure on a single (non-RAID) system is also
going to result in you losing your data. In other words, if you care
about your data, then you should be backing it up, whether you're
running a single drive, a RAID-0, or even a RAID-1 or a RAID-10. [...]

Solid State Drives

It has taken some
time, but consumer-grade Solid State Drives (SSDs) are finally almost
becoming feasible. In fact, I've been running 2 of them in a 120GB
RAID-0 on my desktop for a few months now. For the most part, the
experience has been fantastic and then some. Windows boots pretty
quickly (around 14-18 seconds most of the time) and applications just
FLY open. Outlook goes from closed to fully loaded (and already doing
Send/Receive) in less than 2 seconds, or roughly 3 seconds if it hasn't
been opened since a reboot. Likewise, Visual Studio just flies open and
is totally ready to use in 2-3 seconds.

Since I'm running 2 cheaper MLC devices (I spent $250 total on them), I do however run into problems with stuttering
when doing larger installs, or when Windows Update is going on. Some
people suffering from these effects have made it clear that it
practically cripples their systems. My experience hasn't been that bad,
but I think it's either because I'm running mine in a RAID-0 or maybe
because my controllers just somehow do a great job with queuing; I
don't know for sure. This problem is annoying when I bump into it, but
it hasn't been severe enough (or encountered often enough) to make me
think of ditching my SSDs.

Importantly, the SSD industry and Windows 7
are taking active steps to ameliorate this problem—all while SSD prices
continue to drop. Consequently, with a bit of research on internal SSD
controllers, you should be able to find a relatively cheap SSD (or set
of SSDs) with the new, non-stuttering,
controllers. Better yet, given how much of a black-eye the SSD industry
got over stuttering controllers, it's a fairly safe bet that the
non-stuttering replacements will continue to filter out into the market
and slowly replace their less performant counterparts, while prices
still continue to drop. Likewise, don't fall prey to the idea that you
need to get a huge SSD to store all of your data on. A 32GB SSD will
work fine as a boot partition and let your OS and core applications run
just fine, while you can store less-needed data on a cheaper SATA disk
as needed in order to save a bundle.

Conclusion

With all of the
suggestions I've offered, the trick to maximizing productivity is to
avoid spending a huge amount on any upgrades. Moreover, since larger or
huge upgrades can be disruptive, you can't just count productivity
benefits against cost alone - as you'll typically incur some down-time
with most of the suggestions I've outlined. But with a bit of planning,
it's easy to boost system performance and developer productivity
without spending a fortune.

PHP Advanced Database Class

i found this class very useful for php mysql development. you can use this class to sped up your php development.

usualy if you want to make a query to a table in your database you need to:

  1. make the connection to database
  2. add the query (eg. $sql = select * from table)
  3. add the ($result = mysql_query($sql)) line
  4. then (while($row = mysq_fetch_array($result)){….})

now when you use this class, you do it like this:

 

// Include the class:
include("db.class.php");

// Open the base (construct the object):
$db = new DB($base, $server, $user, $pass);

// Commonly, you can copy/paste this code for one query at a time:
$db->query("SELECT * FROM People");
while ($line = $db->fetchNextObject()) {
  use($line->aField);
}

although you can use $db->query("SELECT * FROM People",true); this will enable debug mode, so if there is an error you will got a help on your error.

30 Google Chrome tips, tricks and shortcuts

1. Create desktop and Start menu shortcuts to web apps such as Gmail - go to Gmail.com and then select Create application shortcuts... from the Page Control menu (in the top-right corner of your browser - it looks like a page with the corner folded over). Now choose where you want to place your shortcut. This works for other Google apps such as Calendar and Documents, and other services such as Windows Live Hotmail.

2. Control + Shift + N opens an 'incognito' window - sites you view in this window won't appear in your history and cookies served by sites in this window will be deleted when the window is closed.

3. You can open a link in an incognito window by right-clicking the link and selecting Open link in incognito window.

4. Alt + Home loads your Google Chrome home page, with thumbnails of your most visited sites shown in the active tabbed window.

5. Control + T opens a new tab. You can drag tabs around to change their order or drag a tab out of the window into its own window.

6. Control + Shift + T opens your most recently closed tab. Press the key combination again to open the tab closed before that one. Google Chrome remembers the last 10 tabs you've closed.

7. Jump to different open tabs using Control + 1, Control + 2, Control + 3, etc. Control + 9 takes you to the last tab.

8. Control + Tab lets you cycle through your open tabs in order.

9. Control + Shift + Tab cycles through your tabs in the opposite order.

10. As with Firefox 3, you can drag a link onto a tab to open it in that tab, or drop it between two tabs to open a new tab in that position.

11. To bookmark a site click the star on the left of the address bar and then select a folder to add it to.

12. Control +B hides the Google Chrome bookmarks bar. Press Control + B to bring it back again.

13. Right-click or hold down the back button and you'll get a drop-down list of sites to go back through. Show Full History, at the bottom of the list, opens a new tab with your full browser history.

14. Control + H is a faster way to bring up the History page.

15. You can delete history for chosen days by scrolling to the day you want to delete and clicking Delete history for this day on the right-hand side of the window.

16. Control + J brings up your Downloads page.

17. To clear an item from your Downloads page, right-click an entry and select Remove.

18. Press Control + K or Control + E to search from the address bar. Once pressed, you'll see a ? symbol appear in the address bar and you can simply enter your search query and hit Return.

19. Right-click the top of the browser window and select Task manager to see how much memory different tabs and plug-ins are using. Highlight one and click End process to stop it running.

20. Shift + Escape is a quicker way to bring up the Google Chrome Task manager.

21. To see what plug-ins are installed, type about:plugins into the address window.

22. You can also type the following commands into the Google Chrome address window: about:stats, about:network, about:histograms, about:memory, about:cache, about:dns.

23. Type about:crash to see what a crashed tab looks like.

24. A three-second diversion: type about:internets. (Only works in Windows XP.)

25. Edit any web page - right-click a page and select Inspect element. Now edit the HTML source code and hit Return to view the changes.

26. To make Google Chrome your default browser, click the Tools button (in the right-hand corner of the browser window - a spanner icon). Select Options, click the Basics tab and then click the Make Google Chrome my default browser button.

27. To delete cookies, go to Tools > Options > Under the Hood. Scroll down to the Security section, and click Show cookies. Now you can click Remove all or remove individual cookies.

10 ways to make Chrome as good as Firefox - How to get the best Firefox features in Chrome today

i have found this article interesting from http://www.techradar.com

The Google Chrome browser is designed to be lightweight in comparison to what it perceives are bloated offerings from Microsoft and Mozilla among others.

For some, however, it's too lightweight.

So if you've put off switching due to Chrome lacking key features that you've come to rely on in other web browsers, then read on to discover 10 easy ways you can plug the functionality gap.

1. Enhance RSS support
Want to detect RSS feeds in Chrome and then subscribe to them through a third-party reader? Browse to savanttools.com/feedhelp-bookmarklet.asp and drag the 'Detect Feed' link on to your Bookmarks toolbar. Click this on any page with a RSS feed and you can then easily subscribe to the feed through one of nine supported readers, including Google Reader, Newsgator and iTunes.

2. Secure passwords manager
Chrome doesn't encrypt your saved passwords; neither does it provide a master password to prevent other users from using them or viewing them. Use the free KeePass tool to store and fill your passwords.

3. Social bookmarking
Thanks to Chrome's support of bookmarklets, you won't be left behind in the cut-throat world of social networking. Just drag and drop the links provided at the URLs below on to your Bookmarks bar for easy updates:
ShareThis
Digg
Share the current page via Twitter
Update your Twitter status quickly

4. Synchronising bookmarks
If you want to use Chrome on multiple PCs, keeping your bookmarks synchronised between them is tricky. Foxmarks has reiterated its intention to develop a version for Chrome, but in the meantime use Google's own web-based bookmarks service in place of Chrome's own bookmarks. Use the bookmarklet from orizens.com/wp/topics/google-bookmarks-bookmarklet to access your Google bookmarks from a pop-up window.

5. Block ads in Chrome
The simplest way to block ads in Chrome is to use a third-party program called Hostsman. Once installed, choose Hosts > Check for Updates and add MVPS Hosts, Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts and Peter Lowe's AdServers List.

6. Use mouse gestures in Chrome
Missing Firefox's mouse gestures? Add this functionality to Chrome with the lightweight, but infinitely customistable, gMote tool, which you can download from www.handform.net/gmote.php.

7. Open a blank new tab
Don't want to see the Most Visited page appear on opening a new tab? Type 'about:blank' into the address bar. Drag this on to your bookmark's toolbar, and then hold [Ctrl] + [Shift] when you click this to open a blank new tab.

8. Change your Chrome theme
If you're tired of Firefox's look, you can get another by installing a new skin. Chrome doesn't have built-in support for swapping out themes, but it's easily done by changing the default.dll file. You'll find more than 20 alternative themes (including one that mimics Firefox) at freechromethemes.com, or you can find out how to create your own with the help of the tutorial at askvg.com.

9. Anonymise Chrome
Each installation of Google Chrome has a unique identifier that could potentially be used to identify you. It's not necessary for Chrome to function, so if you're the paranoid type, download UnChrome from www.abelssoft.net/unchrome.php, which will replace your identifier ID with zeroes.

10. Check for updates
Chrome is in a constant state of evolution, and new features that close the gap on other browsers will be made available in version 2. If you can't wait to zoom into and out of web pages or autoscroll using the middle mouse button, use autocomplete in web forms, set up up multiple profiles or import bookmarks from Google Bookmarks, then visit dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel for instructions on trying the beta version.
