PHP and Oracle

PHP and Oracle - server side language and database management

First and foremost..

I just want to share this… which I actually used …

Assuming we’ve already installed the Oracle in our OS..

1. Download this AppServ

2. Edit the php.ini and then uncomment the ff:

extension=php_oci8.dll extension=php_oracle.dll and by this one..

we can already connect..

Connecting PHP and Oracle

 //some codes here

global $conn;

$user = “username”;

$password = “password”;

$db=”database”;

$conn = oci_connect($user, $password, $db);

if (!$conn) {       

    $err = oci_error();       

    echo htmlentities($err[’message’]);       

exit; }

//some codes here

So that’s it..

Robots?…New World in the Future???

As we all know that the rate of improvements of technology is accelerating, and the coming advances of computing power occur rapidly, isn’t it? So we can say that even someday in the future we become robots or shall I say we can mingle with robots… or something like that… So given the incredible power of these new technologies, shouldn’t we be asking how we can best coexist with them? And if our own extinction is a likely, or even possible, outcome of technological development, shouldn’t we proceed with these new technologies with great caution?

Why we use technology today?

The technology is growingly becoming a very important part in our daily lives. Since then, there are several purposes for those technologies that we have now, they are being used in home, school, college, employment, and many places or things here in this world. We use technology in order to use it in our several tasks, these made our jobs much more easily and faster. Technologies also give us entertainment, it is so important to have some fun and of course things that will make us enjoy in our lives. In our daily involvement in the society, there is always the involvement also of technologies, So that is why it is a solution that provides in our daily activity and of course also for entertainments, and without having these kind of thing in this world , there are many disorder things that may occur. And because of that, the is the reason why it influenced us to use this so called technology, its purposes. Factors also that involve why technology always change are the ff: *rivalry of several technology products (businesses, personal) *new technology ideas being learned or experimented And because of that, every now and then people are always developing those technologies. Since people are always learning everyday…

Cyberpunk

 Originally, the term “cyberpunk” was used to describe a subgenre of science fiction.  Cyberpunk science fiction is primarily concerned with computers and their interaction with humans  A world built on one particular technology that is extrapolate to a highly sophisticated level (this may even be a fantastical or anachronistic technology, akin to retro-futurism), a gritty transreal urban style, or a particular approach to social themes  The first and most influential cyberpunk novel is William Gibson’s Neuromancer (Gibson 1984, 1995).  In Neuromancer, Gibson describes a world of outlaw computer hackers who are able to link up their brains to computer networks and operate in cyberspace.  In the late 80s, Cyberpunk escaped from being a literary genre into cultural reality. Media philosopher R. U. Sirius describes this process as follows:  People started to call themselves cyberpunks, or the media started calling people cyberpunks.  The first people to identify themselves as cyberpunks were adolescent computer hackers  In 1988 cyberpunk hit the front page of the New York Times when some young computer kids were arrested for cracking a government computer file. Cyberspace  “new world” that Leary means is (virtual reality and - in a broader sense - all digitally mediated space), which he sees as a boundless reality where time, space and body are perceived as meaningless  can help us to liberate ourselves from authority and “create our own realities” Timothy Leary  was one of the founding fathers of cyberpunk.  In 1973, Leary predicted that some day the world would be linked through an “electronic nervous system” (the Internet) and that computers could be used to empower the individual

Activating regedit (Enable/Disable registry tools)

The value:

The following values lock the registry editing tools when they are set to 1 (they are DWORD values) : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools for the current user and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools for all users (doesn’t work on Windows XP though). However, once one of them has been set to 1, you can’t use regedit to simply remove them.

So, here are 2 methods.

The methods

1. A reg file ! Tested and working on Win 2k, not working on Win XP. You simply need to create and launch the following reg file : REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] “DisableRegistryTools”=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] “DisableRegistryTools”=-

2. A VBS (Visual Basic Script) Tested and working on Win 2k and XP.

In notepad, copy/paste the following script, and save the file with a .vbs extension,

then go to cmd.exe and run it :

‘Enable/Disable Registry Editing tools

Option Explicit ‘Declare variables Dim WSHShell, rr, rr2, MyBox, val, val2, ttl, toggle

Dim jobfunc, itemtype

On Error Resume Next Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”) val=”HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools” val2 = “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools” itemtype = “REG_DWORD”

jobfunc = “Registry Editing Tools are now ” ttl = “Result” ‘reads the registry key value. rr = WSHShell.RegRead (val)

rr2 = WSHShell.RegRead (val2)

toggle=1

If (rr=1 or rr2=1) Then

    toggle=0

    If toggle = 1 Then

            WSHShell.RegWrite val, 1, itemtype WSHShell.RegWrite val2, 1,

            itemtype Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & “disabled.”, 4096, ttl)

    Else WSHShell.RegDelete val WSHShell.RegDelete val2 Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & “enabled.”, 4096, ttl)

End If

Future Technology

Futuristic Telephony The advent of telephony is a very interesting one. Since every now and then, through communication plays a very significant ingredient in our everyday lives. And several people were developing a device that would transmit and receive the human voice. Thus, this futuristic telephony provide features that will become far more versatile and use several different methods to get calls to and from subscribers - wherever they happen to be in the world. Sample Images of Telephony: Futuristic Telephony Features: —-A combination of modern as well as traditional features of a telephone.Design to offer a unique experience to its users. The design is based on the hand gesture that people use to represent the telephone. There are two parts of this handset, one is earphone and another one is microphone. Therefore, the user has to use the iconic gesture while using the telephone. The modern part of this device includes the touch screen that shows the animated path to the user for dialing the numbers. Overall, this two-piece design is sleek, impressive and creates a touching interaction between the phone and user. —-Now you can have your telephone with a digital photo frame. It is equipped with touch screen where you can easily change your choice of background screen. Beautiful pictures of your family members, friends as well as your own pictures can be shown continuously on the screen of the frame. If you want to see picture of the person you are talking with, you can insert a photo for each number stored in the telephone. There is a USB attached to it which connects it with your computer. Change the color of the frame as per your need. Even if you miss a call, you don’t have to worry because pictures of the caller can be seen on the screen. It delivers a modern stylish look to your desk or wall and is very useful for a tech savvy. These are just some of the several features of the futuristic telephony. ….

Article Review

Actually there are many great articles that was being made by my own classmates, and for me I chose to review the article of Mr. Chris Jan Cane in Database Management System in Computer Science,for the reason that I am also interested with regards to these techniques and since then this is also a very important article in order to have a proper management with regards to the databases, specifically knowing the mere fact that DBMS is the heart of the system,isn’t it?,and without having the knowledge about this article I guess a great tendency to have many problems encountered in the system, because also of lacking or even not having several ways on how to manage DBMS, Chris had said that through the involvement of declarative networking,data management for wireless sensor network,probabilistic data management and stream query processing , help to manage the entire database management system ,and besides through these techniques this helps to prevent or shall I say minimized certain problems to occur in the system, and lastly it helps mostly on the operation of the DBMS especially that it optimized several operations on DBMS queries and even its own components.So through this article, really gives a great help and gives a great effect on the DBMS, and I think having a knowledge on these several techniques would really help us a lot especially when we become software developers,system analysts,computer scientists,etc..someday..hehe

Key Factors For Publishing Research in Top-Tier Journals

Publishing our researches is very challenging aspect, since in this aspect I can think of the solid methodology, an important topic, proper statistical analyses, good scientific writing, and etc. And for me in my own opinion, there is no gold formulation in order for the research to be published, in’t it???.. What signifies is that, it the research is well done and important, then there’s really a good chance it can get into a top tier journal. And I think for me these things that I have said were really the biggest factor to achieve researches be published in the top-tier journal..That’s all..

Evaluating a Research Paper

Evaluating a research paper whether is is good or not is very important aspect. First and foremost we acknowledge the research paper that is really good, however, before we classify the research paper whether it is good is that it must have possess several characteristics, first and foremost we must ensure that the research paper must have its thoroughness specifically with regards to its contents of the paper. Since we must implore that we are not only the one who make the research paper only understand the paper but we will also include the consideration that all reader also understand the paper we made. Thus, it characterize its accuracy and consistency of the information. Besides we must also allow the resources to give the acknowledgment to them especially giving credits to some of the resources of the paper involve in the information. So by these all, I conclude that a research paper is evaluated for me as a good research paper.

State of Computer Science Research

The article go with the details on the spam over internet telephony and how to deal with it, on the said article this talk merely on the voice over internet protocol especially that in our modern society today we have several developments that we have experienced. Just like in this scenario, that we can have a essential communication means through voice using the internet or shall I say it is somewhat we call voice over internet protocol (VoIP) which gave benefits to us specifically at locality independence and besides it is only at low costs, isn’t it? However, due to this type of communication, there are also several disadvantages/problems that really happen on these services. First and foremost just like spammers, there are also spam that took happen on this event and that’s what we call spam over internet telephony (SPIT), since we are communicating through calls, right? But owing to these kinds of services, we can actually experienced an annoying scenario, since we can encounter disturbances by those spammers or shall I say voice attackers (callers) ex. Ringing your phone which classify as SPIT call . Thus, in correlation with these matters they studied on how to prevent those things, there are also several approaches that gave them a complex study especially with regards to the analysis as a counterpart on their problems, and of course they have developed many solutions, nevertheless there are also instances that can make their approaches to be weak or shall I say it is vulnerable that in a sense that it can make also as the disadvantages of those resolutions. So they have research not just for the advantages of the approach but also to the contrary of that. And I guess it requires a deep study in order to achieve those solutions as a counterpart on the said problem. These countermeasures that they have made were Device Fingerprinting, Passive Fingerprinting, Active Fingerprinting, White Lists, Black Lists, Grey Lists, Reputation Systems, Turing tests, Computational Puzzles, Payments at risk, Intrusion Detection Mechanisms, Honey phones, and etc.. So indeed, i understood that in computer science researches there is what we call deep study, regarding with the topic/problem chosen, specifically that it is very essential also to understand the advantages and disadvantages of those aspects,isn\’t it?.. But before these things happen they have research numerous of technical topics that can really give a great help for them these technical topics are written below… Internet Communications Multimedia with Session Initiation Protocol Web Engineering Network Management/Computer Networking/Security Management Source article: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1862.1 http://www.ics.uci.edu/computerscience/research/research_highlight_view.php?id=43

Can Cryptography Prevent Computer Viruses?

As what I have learned or understood, a virus is any kind of file that has an ultimate goal, this goal is to infect all types of file that are being read by a virus or computer virus. Knowing this type of goal of the viruses, several experts have of course studied and occasionally proposed also solutions in order to prevent this kind of treats that people in this world are encountering with the so called disturbing computer viruses especially that really affects the state of the computer system. In line with this aspect, they proposed and develop a kind of technique that will sort of prevent the computer viruses from continuing this kind of job, and them what we call it as “cryptography”. This cryptography technique requires or provides an encryption key and a decryption key. The encryption key is used in order that a sample file will change its original contents, and decrypt that do will do the vise versa, so that there are so called the security especially to the files, and of course to the systems that will really help the computers against computer viruses and to some related bad threats. Since a system can only be infected if so computer viruses tend to read all the files that he can be capable of accessing through it. So without knowing the encrypted key or the decrypted key, either, this will cause to virus to those files to not work, isn’t it? And with the reason for that either a virus analyst must have a very well or shall I say have a perfect cryptographic algorithm that will also fight against computer viruses, perhaps it must have also a “perfect design, architecture, coding and user interface “as said by Bruce Schneier. With all of that these facts, these will really require great study or analysis to be developed by several virus analysts in order that these kind of encryption algorithm will perfectly be great help for providing the security against accesses of computer viruses as well as threats. And therefore I concluded that cryptography plays a significant task in computer industry especially with regards to secured in togetherness against viruses and against general emerging up-and-coming threats.

Is Java still secure?

As we all know we have several encounters with regards to various threats and Trojan horses, isn’t it? and this is a problem which really affects the security aspects of the new Java features. So by these they have studied and researched the features of the Java specifically with the components of this Java platform, and by these reasons there are some problems especially to entrusted applets that may be possible to be loaded to Java script browsers. However, they have studied in order to create a hypothesis by this topic, and asking if Java still secure?…..In line with this question, their very concrete answer also to that question was definitely yes, since according to them especially for unsigned or entrusted applets, the Java security manager still enforces the same sandbox, this sandbox is responsible for controlling those entrusted applets to be loaded. And according to Mr. John Q. Badguy “there must also requirements before those treats to be loaded to the browsers”, and I have guessed this kind of requirements requires a very concrete needs especially as permissions, so that it must have the key applets in the intranet, and of course in order to have security configuration of those Java engines and will not really have various prospect to do it wrong in that Java engine as well as in the Web browsers, right? And so as a whole, this Java still provides a powerful and of course still secure active content against those entrusted treats.

The Future of Viruses on the Internet

This very present time, computer viruses are steady low-level frustrations. Every company knows that it must have anti-virus software, and that virus protection is an asking price of doing businesses, that is the very reason in order to prevent those viruses. This involvement of viruses has only one reason and that is in order to spread those infections in the systems that may wipe out the functionality of the systems. But before this happen those viruses that came also from the internet, as what we have knew that in several organizations that do centralized incident management and reports has of course anti-virus software well deployed, most incidents involve only one or two systems, and the virus is caught before it can spread beyond. So those viruses are just being disinfected automatically with the use of that anti-virus software. And of course when some instances really occur like for example new viruses are discovered, anti-virus software is also being updated to deal with them, and again on a sequence of weeks or nevertheless in months, and that is according to them and of course of what I have noticed, that really happens all the time. So by this these viruses are just like business by now that when the problems occur automatically there are also updates in order to give solutions on them. The Internet only serves/plays a comparatively small role of spreading of those treats/viruses and of course gives also some detection and gives preventions in order that these viruses will not be spread throughout the systems.
