From expirience

Hi guys,
Today I'm writing about an older problem. A few months ago my computer had a 'issue'. It took 30 minutes to start and then another 45 minutes to load the light Google Chrome. I had a hunch it had something to do with the antivirus installed on my machine (which by the way is a stupid 1.8 ghz single core amd powered piece of ****).
So, I wrote on the Avira forum (I'm using Avira Free Antivirus AND ZoneAlarm Firewall) and a good fellow from Ukraine told me that the two were in some kind of a conflict (although I have a more powerfull laptop with Windows 7 which dindn't had a thing). After waiting an hour to load, I a managed to get into ZoneAlarm and give all the permissions for Avira and wouldn't you know it came back to it's normal state of ****.So,
Problem: Slow computer running Avira and ZoneAlarm
Solution:Give all the permissions in ZoneAlarm for Avira

Vacation!!!!

Hi guys,
I have a week off which means time for me to blog about anything.
This time I have an actual problem: how to get all the EA Fan Shop Items in Fifa 10 without playing my brain out or using a virused  trainer so,
Problem: Obtaining all the Fan Shop items in Fifa 10 (might work in Fifa 11)
Solution: After searching all afternoon for a solution I found it. First I tried modifying the save game files so I have a trillion points.Yeah, right. After realising that the files are somewhat encrypted I found the DB master 10, a tool for editing Fifa 10's databases (link:http://www.fileplay.net/f/6534/mirrors#mirror-top). I used it to open the fifa.db file found in "Yourdrive:/EA Sports/FIFA 10/data/cmn folder". Then I selected the "rewards" category from the right and replaced each number from the "value" column with "1" (this makes all the items cost 1 point). ATTENTION: I did not replace the "0" from the "5THDIFF" line (don't know what that is but I guess it means something???).
Now all you have to do is obtain an achievement worth let's say 500 points an buy all the items as you know only 150 points to buy everything! Chears!!!!

Google much?

Hi guys,
Ever typed uTorrent, Pirate Bay or Rapidshare into Google? Remember the good ol' days when El Goog autocompleted this kind of searches? Well, those times have passed as from January 28th Google decided that it will remove the autocomplete and Instant search features when looking for those topics.
In other news Egypt has turned off it's access to Internet as a measure to this weeks anti-governmental protests. Sony announced the Next Generation Portable...Wait. What? Somebody managed to successfully pull the plug on the Internet?! I really don't know if I should open a champaign or start building me a doomsday shelter. Anyway, I dedicate the following video to [still] president Mubarak:

SDK - Science Discoveries Kickass

Hi guys,
Heavy snowfall in my hometown which means a lot of work for me. I am sooo tiered that I washed my hair twice because I forgot I washed it the first time. I know what you're thinking (or maybe not): LOL! And about the title, it's another side effect of my current condition. Nevertheless, after a week of reading John (Ion in romanian), a unbelievably boring novel for school I need some science. Although I have 30 exercise to do for the computer science class I want to learn to make a app for Android. I am installing the SDK as we speek (more like as I write) but I'm in search for a guide that's idiotproof. Any suggestions?

My recommendations

I believe that some recommendations can be made (please correct me if I'm wrong). Each week I'll make some suggestions based on my experiences from the previous week. So, for this first week I have several recommendations:
1) RocknRolla - a action-packed movie just good for those stress-full days when you've got work stuck in your throat. Trailer:

2)Equals Three - each episode is a compilation of three viral videos made by and commented by Ray William Jhonson. Search it on youtube!


3)Mass Effect 2 - one of THE best games (of course, in my opinion). In short it's a role-playing game combined with great shooting and an amazing story. Get ready for ME3!!!


R.O.E.---Rule of Engagement

Since I go to school from Monday to Friday, it's (virtually) impossible for me to post during weekdays. So I hope you don't get suicidal when I tell you I'm going to post mostly during the weekend. Besides, only then I can  get to the core of a problem and come up with a solution. So,

Problem: Rules Of Engagement
Solution: Posting happens during the weekend or on special occasions.

Note about language

A note for explaining the language
I am writing this blog in English, even though I am a Romanian because I want it to be accessible to all those looking for an answer. Because of this I apologize for the maybe frequent mistakes that I make, and also I want to apologize to the Romanians that are seeking these answers and they can't understand what I am saying. To them I can only tell: "Invatati Engleza!!!" (Learn English for the rest of you).
P.S. I hope someone is reading this or in a week I'll start feeling awkward.

First problem - Time in Pascal

Today I had my first problem since I started this blog. I didnt know how to get the time in a pascal program I was creating. Eventually I found the answer on Google. There is the GetTime procedure. The only thing it didn't say is that this one uses Dos. So,

Problem: Time in Pascal
Solution: The procedure GetTime with the following declaration:
              procedure GetTime(var Hour, Minutes, Seconds, Centiseconds : word);
              !Don't forget to use Dos!
Example
program first;
uses Dos;
var h,m,s,cs:word;
begin
        gettime(h,m,s,cs);
        writeln(h,' ',m,' ',s,' ',cs);
end.
{this one shows the time)
Good Luck
P.S. If you have a question please don't hesitate to ask!
