Why Our Monkey Brains Are Prone to Procrastination (No, It's Not Just Laziness or Lack Of Willpower) | Personal Health July 4, 2011 | Like this article? Join our email list: Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email. The Misconception: You procrastinate because you are lazy and can’t manage your time well. The Truth: Procrastination is fueled by weakness in the face of impulse and a failure to think about thinking. Netflix reveals something about your own behavior you should have noticed by now, something which keeps getting between you and the things you want to accomplish. If you have Netflix, especially if you stream it to your TV, you tend to gradually accumulate a cache of hundreds of films you think you’ll watch one day. Take a look at your queue. Psychologists actually know the answer to this question, to why you keep adding movies you will never watch to your growing collection of future rentals, and its the same reason you believe you will eventually do what’s best for yourself in all the other parts of your life, but rarely do. After picking, the subjects had to watch one movie right away.
What is a Computer Virus? A Computer Virus is a relatively small software program that is attached to another larger program for the purpose of gaining access to information or to corrupt information within a computer system. Some computer viruses may be relatively harmless. For example, some of them just cause a certain message to pop up on a user's computer screen. Other viruses can be deadly to the computers they infect, erasing information and hard drives, stealing data, and slowing down the entire computer system. Like other software programs, someone must create and write a computer virus; once they are created, viruses can multiply rapidly and spread themselves from computer to computer. Computer Virus Definition & Characteristics: A Computer Virus is a program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the user. A computer virus needs another program in order to be able to be activated and infect other computers files. A Brief History of Computer Viruses:
How to use Google for Hacking. | Arrow Webzine Google serves almost 80 percent of all search queries on the Internet, proving itself as the most popular search engine. However Google makes it possible to reach not only the publicly available information resources, but also gives access to some of the most confidential information that should never have been revealed. In this post I will show how to use Google for exploiting security vulnerabilities within websites. 1. There exists many security cameras used for monitoring places like parking lots, college campus, road traffic etc. which can be hacked using Google so that you can view the images captured by those cameras in real time. inurl:”viewerframe? Click on any of the search results (Top 5 recommended) and you will gain access to the live camera which has full controls. you now have access to the Live cameras which work in real-time. intitle:”Live View / – AXIS” Click on any of the search results to access a different set of live cameras. 2. filetype:xls inurl:”email.xls” 3. “? 4.
Computer virus Computer viruses currently cause billions of dollars worth of economic damage each year,[14] due to causing systems failure, wasting computer resources, corrupting data, increasing maintenance costs, etc. In response, free, open-source antivirus tools have been developed, and a multi-billion dollar industry of antivirus software vendors has cropped up, selling virus protection to users of various operating systems of which Windows is often the most victimized, partially due to its extreme popularity.[citation needed] No currently existing antivirus software is able to catch all computer viruses (especially new ones); computer security researchers are actively searching for new ways to enable antivirus solutions to more effectively detect emerging viruses, before they have already become widely distributed.[15] Vulnerabilities and infection vectors[edit] Software bugs[edit] Social engineering and poor security practices[edit] Vulnerability of different operating systems to viruses[edit]
5 Shocking Ways You Overestimate Yourself Have you ever sat next to the smelly guy? Did you ever wonder why nobody tells him that he smells, or why he can't smell himself? Doesn't he notice people getting up and changing seats when he sits down? Well, here's the thing: According to science, we're all the smelly guy. We Are More Racist Than We Think Here's something that doesn't make sense: On one hand, we know that racism is still a big deal (you can't argue with it -- studies show it still turns up in everything from jury decisions to hiring practices), but how many outright racists do you actually know? GettyOnly a small one today, though. Probably not that many. Getty"I'm not racist; I totally love cosplay girls." For instance, in one somewhat hilarious experiment, researchers just set up a bunch of conversations -- some between members of the same race, some between different races. When a white person was talking to a white person, the pauses were basically unnoticed. Getty"I can't really put my finger on why." GettyAverage.
NEWTON, TEACHERS, Classroom and Curriculum Development Here at NEWTON, we get a lot of questions on computer viruses, so we thought that we would provide a helpful guide that should help to answer all of your questions about them. Please see the questions below for what you are looking for. A special thanks to Mike Stewart for helping us answer these questions. What are Computer Viruses? Computer viruses are programs written by "mean" people. What Do Viruses Do? Viruses have many purposes-some are designed to play annoying tricks, whereas others have destructive intent. How do Viruses Spread? Viruses insert themselves into host programs and propagate when the infected program is executed, generally by user interaction (e.g., opening a file, running a program, clicking on a file attachment). How do I prevent a virus? What are Trojan Horse programs? Named after the wooden horse from Greek mythology, Trojan horses are non-replicating programs that appear to be benign but actually have a hidden malicious purpose. What are Malware programs?
15 Coolest Google Earth Finds Dubbed the "Badlands Guardian" by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress--and earphones, to boot. Of course, The Guardian was produced naturally. A synthetic wonder that can be truly appreciated only from above, this giant man-shaped lake (-21.805149,-49.089977) is located near Bauru, Brazil. This heart-shaped island in the Adriatic became a hit on Google Earth for Valentine's Day. This fingerprint can be found in Hove Park, near Brighton and Hove in the UK. Rhett Dashwood, a graphic designer from Australia, created the first Google Maps alphabet, featuring all 26 letters, using satellite images of natural features and buildings. Lion, at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo located at Whipsnade, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England. Some of the sights you find in Google Earth are just plain mysterious. So here's a giant Ipod Shuffle! Too late now, huh?
How Computer Viruses Work" Strange as it may sound, the computer virus is something of an Information Age marvel. On one hand, viruses show us how vulnerable we are -- a properly engineered virus can have a devastating effect, disrupting productivity and doing billions of dollars in damages. On the other hand, they show us how sophisticated and interconnected human beings have become. For example, experts estimate that the Mydoom worm infected approximately a quarter-million computers in a single day in January 2004. Back in March 1999, the Melissa virus was so powerful that it forced Microsoft and a number of other very large companies to completely turn off their e-mail systems until the virus could be contained. When you listen to the news, you hear about many different forms of electronic infection. Viruses: A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs.

CHAIRMAN MAO’S UNDERGROUND CITY « Viceland.com In 1969, Chairman Mao commanded the construction of a second Beijing beneath the surface of the original city, designed to accommodate all six million of its then inhabitants, so that if nuclear war did kick off, folk would still have somewhere to hang out and play Mah Jong while the rest of us burnt to death in a shower of atomic rain. War never came, but the city is still there. To be fair to the crazy Chairman, by that time he was lost in the midst of those closing dark days of China’s brutal cultural revolution and the onset of motor neurone disease had shifted his ongoing descent into madness up to warp speed. No one really knows how much of the subterranean nuclear metropolis was actually completed, or just how far the network of underground tunnels and caverns was due to be extended, though it’s generally believed they connected up with all of Beijing’s main hubs and governmental locations, including Tiananmen Square, Beijing’s Central Station and the Western Hills. Look!
