I previously was working with: http://stuffbyaj.blogspot.com and decided to move to the new name. I can't disappoint you with the missing link. So here is what I did, I redirected the blog to the new id. Here is the way:

Does the stuff below not look neat??


  1. Go to the old one.
  2. Go to settings and change the blog name,.
  3. Your old blog has shifted. Now to redirect the urls
  4. Create a new blog with the old name.
  5. Go to the template and paste the following code:

<meta content='0;url=http://www.mysite.com/' http-equiv='refresh'/>

  1. Go to the body tag and replace the whole of it by:

<body>

<div style='position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 30px; border: solid 2px #333; color: #000; background-color: yellow; padding: 5px; width: 350px; z-index: 5;'>

Annoying Avi Chunk Viewer window  

Posted by Unknown in

After I installed the K-Lite Codec pack, I sometimes get this Avi Chunk Viewer window at the most annoying times possible. It seems this is caused by a codec called Avi splitter. It pops up when there is an avi found with an incomplete footer.

To remove the Avi Chunk Viewer, do the following:

1. Start the K-Lite Codec Tweak Tool, located in the K-Lite\Configuration start-menu.

2. Go to the Disable part, and select Avi Splitter.

That's it. Although you might have to reboot your computer.

Malware on start menu  

Posted by Unknown in

Various types or viruses lurk around the start menu. Some even disable you from functioning the links at these menus. Clicking on My Computer might not open and so forth.
A tool checks the registry and deletes various virus files associated from the registry as well as the locations. Hooking them up with CCleaner can help knowing their start up states.
Three cheers to the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Download at: http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

Just update and run. It'll find the infected dlls via registry. Good for viruses related to the start menu.
I just had one today where, i could not rename a file.

Sharing and XP  

Posted by Unknown in

Many of us don't know that we can retrict number of users sharing taking files from the folders that we share in XP. We think that its an advance feature added up in windows vista. But this is not true. You can go to the folder options and uncheck the the recommended checkbox of basic sharing in the view tab to see this advance sharing option in windows XP as well. For more details view:http://fhctech.org/fhc/networking/xp-sharing-folder.htm.

Open With Virus  

Posted by Unknown in

There is a virus that makes your drives open as a open with dialog box on clicking and you need to use direct run command to access them. The tool that can help you remove that virus can be found at:

Explorer does not load on reboot  

Posted by Unknown in

Soetimes it happens that the windows explorer does not work to open up as we reboot windows. Then we require to run task manager and open it manually. This can be due any of the viruses that affects th eregistry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
To remove it, go to the registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon through regedit.

In the right pane, modify the value:

"Shell"="explorer.exe some_process.exe"

to:

"Shell"="explorer.exe"

This will end up the problem.

Opening application at startup  

Posted by Unknown in

Not getting time to write though having lots of plans, like the google master plan as they release their chrome. Will do that some day. Meanwhile a little tweak, I don't know why I did not know of it.

To add an application to run at system startup. Goto the start>Programs>startup and open it as a browser by right click. Just paste a shortcut of the application you wish to be at start up there nad that is it. ?Have fun....

You can use a batch file at start up and thus you can have a proper automation of youre PC start up. Say open browser with the favourite website. Use command line options at the batch file or maybe directly in your start up and you are through.

I deally I will not recommend you making too much of this. You might end up slowing the PC performance at startup.

You can always remove a program from the start up by deleting simply the shortcut. Though some programs need the msconfig to be run to be removed. start>run>msconfig

Mains

Date: 10th September 2008
Time: 9:30 – 2:30 PM

Prizes:

1. The top ten teams in the finals will be given wild card entries in the event Knight Coders.

2. First Prize worth Rs. 3000.

3. Second Prize worth Rs. 2000.

4. A cash prize to the fastest coder with the first correct solution of Rs 250.

The mains will consist of questions in the international format of programming questions and will be evaluated only by the PC2 Software provided.

1. Scoring: The algorithm used Rank and “Score” (Penalty Points) is the one used in the ACM ICPC World Finals, which is as follows:

a. Teams are ranked according to the number of problems solved; a team solving more problems is always ranked higher than a team solving fewer problems.

b. Within a group of teams solving the same number of problems, teams are ranked by increasing “Penalty Points” (that is, the team with the lowest number of Penalty Points is ranked highest within the group). Teams only accrue Penalty Points for problems which the team has solved; unsolved problems do not affect the scoring in any way.

c. Teams accrue Penalty Points for solved problems in two ways:(Penalty Points will come into picture only in the case of a tie breaker)

i. One point for each minute elapsed from the start of the contest until the problem was solved (the time of SUBMISSION is counted as the “time solved”; it does not matter how long it took the Judges to judge it).

ii. A specific number of penalty points for each INCORRECT submission submitted to the Judges prior to a correct solution for the problem (runs submitted after a correct solution is not counted in the scoring). The number of penalty points for each incorrect submission prior to solving a problem is 20.

d. If two or more teams have the same number of solved problems and exactly the same number of Penalty Points, ties are broken in favor of the team with the earliest time of the last correct submission (that being the time when the team “finished” the contest).

2. Only the GNU GCC compiler is allowed, e.g. Dev C++ which can be downloaded at: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html. Note that it does not support void main(you have to use int main), clrscr(), strrev() of turbo C++ compiler. Other language allowed is Java(JDK 1.5).

a. The exe file should be exactly same in all cases.

b. The spellings as well as the input and output format should match 100% otherwise the software will declare an error.

3. Note:

a. You should submit only the source code. The explanation (if reqd.) should be present as the comment.

b. The team no. and the team name along with the member usernames, roll nos., email addresses and preferably a contact no. (For quick references) should be present in the comment section on the top.

4. No indiscipline will be tolerated.

5. Any team found copying, cheating or exchanging notes will be disqualified.

6. The decision of the organizers will be final.

Sample Question:

Q1 According to Darwinism, there is competition among all living beings and the fittest of the set survives. He says that all living species fight for the available resources and only a few members outlive the others and that is why maybe the dinosaurs got extinct. Consider a case just opposite.

Life has just begun on earth. Only one pair lived - Adam and Eve. They give rise to two pairs, each of which produces another two pairs. There is no fight and there are limitless resources. People die only of age. Everyone is able to see their grandchildren but none sees their great grandchildren. Only three generations live at a time.

The first input line will be the number of test cases followed by an input for each test case. Each case will consist of the generation that is just born i.e. n and you have to find out the number of pairs that inhabit the earth.

Sample Input:

2

3

5

Sample Output

7

28

Constraints

3

// Sample Solution

#include

#include

using namespace std; //The iostream headers have to be used this way in Dev C++

int main() //Not void

{

int noOfCases; //The stuff outside the for loop is normally

cin>>noOfCases; //the same in all questions

for(int i=0;i

{

int generation;

cin>>generation;

int thisgen,prevgen,oldergen,totalpairs;

thisgen = pow(2,generation-1);

prevgen = pow(2,generation-2);

oldergen = pow(2,generation-3);

totalpairs = thisgen + prevgen + oldergen;

cout<

cout< //End of the test case

}

return 0;

}

This is what is keeping me busy. Will upload other ques as well- as soon as I find time. Hope you like the event.
