Ok someone ask me why he's getting error when connecting to their enterprise Virtual Private Network (VPN) regarding support encryption.

I published an article regarding the first 100 registered domain names last January of 2008. I learned today that Symbolics.com was sold to XF.com Investment for an undisclose amount.

"Symbolics.com, the first domain name ever registered, has changed hands for the first time since its original registration on March 15, 1985. Missouri-based XF.com Investments purchased the historic Internet address from the Symbolics company for an undisclosed price. Symbolics sold the domain even though the company is still in operation nearly 25 years after they made history by registering the name. Since that initial domain registration a quarter of a century ago 180 million domains names have been registered!" (2009, DNJournal.com)

I watched this video by Dr. Bob Parsons asking people about his GoDaddy.com commercial, the result is 17/30 through random people.

One comment from California is "All the chicks with big boobs" and Dr. Bob Parsons says we need to advertise more. Some feedback because of Danica Patrick as being the endorser. My personal opinion, GoDaddy created their brand but marketing to the wrong crowd. Maybe not.


I've seen GoDaddy.com commercials through the Internet and in TV. I know their business, products and services but the results of 17 YES they know GoDaddy and 13 NO (out of 30 people) results from millions of advertising budget is a dissappointing results. Maybe not, if the goal is to create deep branding of GoDaddy.com.

Changing the default email address in Exchange Server 2003 is easy. Just add the new email address and set as default. But not in Exchane Server 2007.

I've got news from eBay Partner Network announcing Quality Click Pricing, a new payout structure designed to reward the affiliates. It's a similar model of pay per click (PPC) with a twist of traffic quality defined by the eBay network.

I've decided to change our website description from KnowHow | Involve | Network | Global | New | Evolving | Tech (abbr. of KING.NET) to "What can I do today, that will make me $1 richer tomorrow?" with the help of Kevin J. Sinclair.

For unknown reasons, my laptop stop working for me. I have no success after booting up and troubleshooting. So I decided to restore from factory default. I can re-install all the softwares I need for my daily routine tasks but what about my precious data (personal and projects)?

Repost: As requested by our visitors.

Managing Exchange Server is easy when you configure it correctly, you need to apply some patches to fix it and continuous monitoring of your server health. Most common issue from the default installation of Exchange Server 2007 is excessive memory, high CPU utilization or application pool resets in IIS.

Here's a simple guide to correct this problem.
- First visit http://support.microsoft.com for the updated release.
- Install the hotfix 942027 for Exchange Server 2007

Reminder, always backup your Exchange Server before your maintenance schedule.

If this help you, please don't forget to share it here.

Something to think about.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for
all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our
taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with
the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you
are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of
your daily beer by $20."Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes
so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for
free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could
they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'



They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they
subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would
each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it
would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he
proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four
continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the
men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He
pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!"

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a
dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!"

"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10
back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't
get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine
sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the
bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money
between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is
how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get
the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them
for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they
might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Lesson 1:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff! She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'

Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after
lunch.'


Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 2:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 3:

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.


Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..

After watching G-Force and Ice Age in 3D with my kids so what is next? Well actually a company in UK already started bringing 3D programming into the home as well. This is a technology that I'm dreaming 10 years ago and now I am close to reality.

"Not just content with making a splash on the big screen, content providers are also set on bringing 3-D programming into the home as well. Sky TV plans to launch a dedicated 3-D channel in the UK next year.
The station will offer a smattering of sports, movies, and entertainment-related content, all piped through to the living room via a set-top box. This seems to lineup with Panasonic's plans to have 3-D movies in the home by 2010 as well." (2009, PopSci.com)

Not until last July 30, 2009 when New Jersey State Police Cyber Crime Units arrested Daniel Goncalvez on charges of stealing P2P.com domain name.

"Detectives charged Daniel Goncalves, 25, of Union Township, with theft by unlawful taking or disposition, theft of identity, and computer theft, all crimes of the second degree.

Troopers also executed a search warrant at his residence. The arrest and search warrant were the culmination of a State Police investigation into the theft of P2P.com, an Internet domain name. A large volume of business and computer records relevant to the alleged domain name theft were seized.

Goncalves was processed and released on $60,000 cash bail pending court." (2009, bergennow.com)

When you try to change your network user password, you receive this error "password cannot be changed because it was changed in the last 10 days." This is a Password Policy setup in your Windows Active Directory security policy.

I'm not sure if Google Adsense for Domains started making changes to your parked domain names, by providing different looks. For example, I've checked one of my domainMotels.com.cn and refresh 3 times (try again if you don't see the new pages).
