Remember...

Keep on starting, and finishing will take care of itself Replace:
"This is so big" --> "I can take one small step"
"I must be perfect" --> "I can be human"
"I must finish" --> "When can I start?"

Deadlines are really important: Establish them in a list

It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear. The ONLY way to get of fear is --to go out and do it.

Join a successful crowd where the expectations are high and the payoff is great. It is said that your income will be equal to the average of your 5 closest friends.

You have to do it by yourself, but you can’t do it alone

Be serious. Most problems are not solved because they are not taken seriously

kill process from vb script (tried on windows xp)

Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess
Dim xComputer, xProcessKill
Dim killed
xComputer = "."
xProcessKill = "'wiamp.exe'"

Killed = 0 'not yet
value = 1

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& xComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & xProcessKill)
For Each objProcess in colProcess
value = objProcess.Terminate()
If value = 0 Then 'did killed
Killed = 1
End If
Next
' End of WMI Example of a Kill Process

If Killed = 1 Then
MsgBox "I killed it",64,"Yo.."
End If

WScript.Quit

disable/enable network from command line for script

tried on windows xp
get devcon.exe (just search for it) and copy to system32 folder (or in ur path)

get the hardware id for ur network adaptor by using command
devcon findall * > id.txt
open the text file to see the network id
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10BD&SUBSYS_82681043&REV_02\3&11583659&0&C8: Intel(R) 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection

copy the line just before &REV...
and run this command
devcon disable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10BD&SUBSYS_82681043"

note the colon
to enable, just replace it with 'enable'

more from internet

I ran the command:

devcon listclass net

which showed all network adapters (real and virtual) on my WinXP
laptop. The first two are the actual hardware adapters, a built in
Ethernet adapter (Intel) and a wireless PCMCIA Ethernet adapter
(Linksys). The results are presented as a "hardware" device ID
followed by a description:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2449&SUBSYS_30138086&REV_03\4&1351887D&0&40F0:
Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
PCMCIA\INSTANT_WIRELESS_-_NETWORK_PC_CARD-317F\1 :
Instant Wireless - Network PC CARD

All the remaining "virtual" adapters have id's that begin with
"ROOT...". Therefore I experimented with the command to disable just
the built in Ethernet adapter:

devcon disable =net PCI\VEN*

which illustrates the use of a wildcard character in the "hardware"
ID.

The output from this command was:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2449&SUBSYS_30138086&REV_03\4&1351887D&0&40F0:
Disabled
1 device(s) disabled.

Sure enough, when I went to view the network connections, this adapter
was disabled. I then did the obvious "undo" command:

devcon enable =net PCI\VEN*

which produced the output:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2449&SUBSYS_30138086&REV_03\4&1351887D&0&40F0:
Enabled
1 device(s) enabled.

Even before going back to view the network connections again, I knew
the command had worked because a balloon popped up over the "Local
Area Connection" on my taskbar to inform that "A network cable is
unplugged." (Quite true, since I'm connected by the wireless adapter
to send this message.)

how religion affects us?

most books, videos i have seen discuss about the violence and hatred religion creates. I agree it is an important point. But i also think there are also many problems with belief in religion. it affects lots of other areas also.

donation to charity-most people are willing to donate a fraction of what they earn. but in most cases it goes to temples, events by religious groups etc and not to charity like cry etc

government revenues- priests in most countries don't pay tax. instead they earn a fat salary without work

time wastage - most people are made to believe by tourism, hotel industry that they need to visit such and such temple for god blessing. they take holidays from jobs. some even goto to temple daily for better blessing.

it leads to promotion of other scams like astrology, rings, yoga as medical solution etc.

health problem, possibly death like upwas in jainism or vegetarianism

single education model?

There is no such thing as one model fits all. Then why do we have a education system which requires ones go through 12 years of same school curriculum? I wonder.

In India, we have 55 % illiterate people. Though I feel it must be much higher. Most people don't go for it because they don't see any obvious advantage of it. In 12 years of school, we learn just to0 many things like light's angle of reflection to finding ions present in a solution to solving complex differential equations etc.
But most people need all these in real life? What does a hotel manager guy need to know about it? A shopkeeper? A truck driver or his manager? a carpenter?

To add to it, we don't learn essential skills like time management, dealing with fear, depression, solving family problems, fraud/scams, basic laws, dealing with death of loved ones, proper nutrition and basic exercise skills etc etc. We don't learn how to aloof ourselves from possible scams like weight lose pills, fairness cream (yes, they don't work), homeopathy etc.

I believe there should be an option of students to get basic education (including literacy) and go for learning job skills as needed.
