<description><![CDATA[Em junho de 1998 a Microsoft lançou o Windows 98, sucessor do Windows 95 que dez anos e cinco lanç]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Em junho de 1998 a Microsoft lançou o Windows 98, sucessor do Windows 95 que dez anos e cinco lançamentos depois ainda tem usuários. Se você está lendo este post na tela LCD de um monitor de 19 polegadas, alimentada pelo sinal que vem direto de uma Radeon X1950XT, saiba que ainda há usuários deste sistema operacional. Tanto que o suporte extendido dele deveria encerrar-se em 2004 mas foi estendido até 2006, quando encerrou-se também o suporte extendido do Windows Millenium Edition.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Eu uso linux. Há excelentes distribuições linux para micros modestos, como <a href="http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/" target="_blank">Damm Small Linux</a> ou <a href="http://www.puppylinux.org/" target="_blank">Puppy Linux</a>, e com um pouco mais de garra é possível até mesmo se virar com o Slackware (eu não tenho essa garra toda).</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Mas se um usuário normal me perguntar como colocar na ativa seu Pentium 200 ou seu K6-II 550, terei uma única resposta para dar: <em>use Windows 98 e não use homebanking</em>.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">As razões são óbvias: a <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98#Requerimentos_de_Sistema" target="_blank">wiki</a> do Windows 98 informa como requisitos de hardware um processador 486 DX2, 66 MHz ou superior, 16MB de RAM e cerca de trezentos megabytes de disco. Além disto, a Microsoft recomendava um monitor VGA ou superior, um drive de CD-Rom ou DVD-rom (!?) e Microsoft Mouse ou compatível (naquela época não era óbvio).</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Vamos ser honestos: você não consegue instalar um Debian ou um Ubuntu (nem na versão Flux) em um micro 486 DX2. E aqui é o Brasil! Estes micros realmente ainda estão por aí escondidos, prontos para funcionar. As versões de linux que você poderia instalar em um micro assim são do tempo em que linux realmente era coisa para gênios da informática e a Microsoft já gastava muito tempo e dinheiro com usabilidade. Quase prontos, porque o máximo que você vai conseguir em um micro desses é instalar um sistema operacional Microsoft que não recebe mais atualizações de segurança. Por isto a minha resposta tem um “não use homebanking”. Mas vamos concordar em uma coisa: quem precisa reviver uma instalação do Windows 98 não está pensando em homebanking, se é que tem conta corrente.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Um outro perfil de pessoa que pode querer levantar um micro destes é aquele cidadão que tem um segundo micro e não agüenta mais brigar com os filhos para conseguir que eles saiam do seu microcomputador, onde ficam por horas jogando. Ele tem conta corrente, até usa homebanking mas tem um micro em condições de rodar uma distro linux atual ou um Windows XP ou Vista. Dá para rodar um emulador de alguns games de sucessos (antigos, claro) em um micro modesto (senhores proprietários de 486 SX: não é de micros tão modestos que estou falando, ok?) sem que eles precisem detonar o computador principal da família. E o melhor: eles não precisam da internet, mas podem até usá-la! Claro que não vai ter antivírus, antispyware ou firewall para uma máquina destas.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Mas porque o post fala em "Segunda Edição"? Acontece que de junho de 1998 para maio de 1999 muita coisa mudou. Por exemplo, tivemos a difusão do padrão PPPoE, usado para permitir autenticação nas redes xdsl (Speedy, por exemplo), que não teve tempo de receber suporte no lançamento do Windows 98. Ou seja: quem tinha Windows 98 não conseguia usar Speedy. O software que a Telefônica distribuía junto com seu kit na época sequer prosseguia a instalação porque o sistema não oferecia suporte ao padrão.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">O "Segunda Edição" era exatamente isto: um conjunto de melhorias que superava em muito os famosos Service Pack's do Windows XP. Houve um incrível salto de estabilidade no sistema e incluídos itens como compartilhamento da internet à rede local (via NAT), Netmeeting 3.0, suporte a DVD-ROM, e era gratuita para quem já tivesse adquirido (legalmente) o Windows 98.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Starter Edition era algo que não passava pela cabeça dos mortais usuários de computadores e dizer no colégio "instalei o 98 SE" enchia de inveja os colegas que usavam ainda o Windows 95 ou que ainda não tinham feito o upgrade da primeira para a segunda edição do Windows 98. O sucesso das duas letrinhas foi tamanho que depois a Microsoft resolveu usá-las para referir-se a versão <em>Terceiro Mundo</em> do Windows XP, aquela que só abre até três janelas do mesmo aplicativo e até três aplicativos simultaneamente (nove janelas no máximo) tem uma irritante marca d'água na tela que sobrepõe-se às janelas (canto inferior direito) e outras limitações cretinas como o suporte máximo a 512mb de memória Ram.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Enquanto estes SE atuais (XP e Vista) não vão deixar saudades em ninguém (a primeira coisa que todo brasileiro faz quando chega em casa com o cpu novo com algum SE instalado é chamar o vizinho pra formatar) o 98 SE deixou por muito tempo usuários do Windows XP com saudades, enquanto fez outro tanto de usuários preferirem enfrentar o Windows 2000 Server a aventurarem-se com as panes do Windows XP, que tornou-se um sistema usável apenas a partir do Service Pack 2.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Para saber qual versão você está usando, clique com o botão direito do mouse em “<em>Meu Computador</em>”, "<em>Propriedades</em>" ou “<em>Iniciar</em>”, “<em>Configurações</em>”, “<em>Sistema</em>”, e veja o número de versão:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">4.10.1998 - primeira edição;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">4.10.2222A - segunda edição.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Outro macete é a versão do Internet Explorer. O Windows 98SE já vinha com o Internet Explorer 5.0. Portanto, se "<em>Ajuda</em>", "<em>Sobre</em>", trouxer o número de versão 4.0 o Windows só pode ser 4.10.1998, ou seja, primeira edição.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">E sim: trabalho em um Help Desk e há usuários de Windows 98 e Millenium Edition. Mas não atendemos os 98 primeira edição.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;" align="justify">Até a próxima!</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0;">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>well, yesterday I was to format my C drive and for that some dumb nut just gave me an idea of formatting it by booting the computer up with a Windows 98 CD, starting with the help of CD ROM Support and formatting the God damn drive. What happend is that it just slipped out of my mind that my C was actually an NTFS formatted drive. So when I gave it the command</p>
<p>format c:</p>
<p>it was actually formatting my D drive which had all of my data, my projects, songs, games and everything.<br />
So now I'm enjoy a nice cool day in the office, sitting all ends screwd up getting everything installed again.</p>
<p>I'll count that in as one of my worst days at Vizteck.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I had a lovely day geeking out....</p>
<p>I decided to go and get my Windows 98 computer that has been lying in a shed for a good few years out and have a look at it. It had one 6GB HD and another 20GB HD. As I said above it had Windows 98 on it, but kept coming up with errors....</p>
<p>When I tried to boot into Win 98, I'd get an illegal operation (remember them?) and I couldn't do anything else. I gave up and inserted my Ubuntu Live CD, installed Ubuntu - wasn't that simple, kept on having trouble partitioning my drives...</p>
<div align="center"><img style="max-width:800px;" src="http://my.wizzhack.co.uk/media/images/IMG_0156.JPG" width="410" height="307" /><br />The illegal operation </div>
<p>
<div align="center"><img style="max-width:800px;" src="http://my.wizzhack.co.uk/media/images/IMG_0151.JPG" width="410" height="307" /><br />My first attempt installing Ubuntu (in shed)</p>
<p><img style="max-width:800px;" src="http://my.wizzhack.co.uk/media/images/IMG_0153.JPG" width="410" height="307" /><br />Messy wires (in shed)</div>
<p>Eventually when I had installed Ubuntu it was running smoothly, really nice with only 256MB of RAM. My main idea was to make it a server for this website, I still want to do that, but for now I decided to take out the 20GB HD and stick it in my main Computer...</p>
<p>The 20GB HD was Sata and my computer only had IDE support (I thought it did anyway) but a friend on Skype told me most motherboards come with at least one Sata port, I looked and yeah there it was. Had a lot of trouble getting the HD out and putting it in (wiring everything), a few cuts on my hand didnt help...but I managed :) .</p>
<p>I was really scared to boot up my PC, but it was working fine, found the HD first time...only thing is it was now showing a Floopy Disk Drive in My Computer....strange.</p>

Y ya fue confirmado por la <a title="BSOD NBC" href="http://gizmodo.com/5035456/blue-screen-of-death-strikes-birds-nest-during-opening-ceremonies-torch-lighting#c7158273" target="_blank">NBC</a>: durante la ceremonia de inauguración de los Juegos Olímpicos de Beijing 2008, uno de los equipos se tildó y presentó la hermosa pantalla azul de Windows (BSOD: Blue Screen Of Death, o Pantalla Azul de la Muerte). Obviamente los organizadores disimularos de manera admirablemente bien esto, pero desde ciertos ángulos se pudo ver y hasta filmar con celulares y cámaras caseras. <!--more--></p>
<p>Hace no mucho <a href="http://gonetil.wordpress.com/2008/08/09/los-numeros-de-la-inauguracion-de-los-juegos-olimpicos-beijing-2008/" target="_blank">les conté que combinación de hardware y software</a> que habían usado los organizadores de la ceremonia inaugural de los JJOO, y les dije que a veces los sistemas Windows te dejan bien parado. Al pedo hablé, pues pasó lo que suele pasar. De todos modos, señores chinos, si al mismísimo Bill Gates le pasó eso <a title="YouTube BSOD Bill Gates" href="http://www.google.com.ar/url?sa=t&#38;ct=res&#38;cd=1&#38;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRgriTO8UHvs&#38;ei=63GhSMmiC4fCeqq1gC8&#38;usg=AFQjCNGXcfTcWUzNTMCmpdnGYcj3sWSZFg&#38;sig2=M-1A39qS-QtMeRFyF9Xw_w" target="_blank">durante la presentación de Windows 98</a>, y si sucedió <a title="Windows Vista BSOD" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFx62_Iadjg&#38;feature=related" target="_blank">durante una presentación de Windows Vista</a>, no pensarán que ustedes estan exentos de estos males.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Terkadang terlalu serius di depan komputer bisa bikin sakit mata lho...!, Santai dulu.....Setuju? Sekarang kita akan bermain dengan sistem opersi paling populer saat ini <strong>[ </strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Win</strong></span><strong><span style="color:#ffcc00;">d</span></strong><strong><span style="color:#008000;">o</span><span style="color:#0000ff;">ws</span> <span style="color:#3366ff;">XP</span> ]</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">OK! sekarang, kita coba....... dengan menggunakan software mungil yang sepertinyapun jarang diantara kita yang memanfaatkannya <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">[</span> </strong><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">NOTEPAD ]</span></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://rahmatrijaluncomputerbiak.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/rahmat-rijalun-computer-clinic-kucing-lucu-xp2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-51" src="http://rahmatrijaluncomputerbiak.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/rahmat-rijalun-computer-clinic-kucing-lucu-xp2.jpg?w=80" alt="" width="80" height="123" /></a><strong><em><span style="color:#666699;">Rahmat yakin, </span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em><span style="color:#666699;">kalian pasti terheran-heran &#38; geleng-geleng kepala. Okey sudah siap? Lanjut...</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ngomong-ngomong, komputer Anda sudah ada antivirusnya belum?</span></strong> Kalau belum lebih baik ke sini dulu deh, buat nginstall antivirus. Nah kalau sudah, kita cek apakah antivirus Anda bekerja.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Caranya buka <strong>notepad</strong> ( Start -&#62; Program -&#62; Accessories -&#62; Notepad ). Copy-paste kode ini di notepad :</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em><span style="color:#800080;">Permainan ke-1: Cek apakah antivirus Anda bekerja</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tutup notepad. Kalau ada pertanyaan "do you want to save?" jawab "Yes". Gimana? file tadi hilang kemana? Masih belum hilang? Rename dari ekstensi TXT menjadi EXE, depannya terserah. Sebelumnya perlihatkan ekstensi file dulu yah (Tool -&#62; Folder Option -&#62; View, uncheck pada pilihan hide extension).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em><span style="color:#800080;">Permainan ke-2: Membuat virus palsu</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Buka notepad. Copy paste kode ini:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">l</span><span style="color:#0000ff;">ol=msgbox ("Virus berbahaya terdeteksi di komputer Anda. Pilih YES untuk memformat harddisk Anda sekarang, atau NO untuk memformat harddisk setelah restart.",20,"Warning")</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Save dengan nama virus-palsu.vbs Klik double file tadi. Nah, serem kan? Tapi itu cuma bohongan kok. Sekarang klik kanan start menu, pilih explore. Taruh file tadi di folder Start Menu -&#62; Programs -&#62; Startup. Maka virus gadungan tadi akan muncul setiap kali windows start. Lumayan kalau dipasang di komputer teman bisa ngagetin</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Permainan ke-3: Tidak bisa membuat folde</strong><strong>r</strong></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Buat sebuah folder di mana saja dengan nama<strong> CON</strong>, huruf kecil atau huruf besar nggak masalah. Bagaimana? Bisa nggak?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em><span style="color:#800080;">Permainan ke-4: Rahasia Microsoft Word</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kalau Anda masih membuka dokumen Microsoft Word, simpan dan tutup dulu. Soalnya Anda nggak tahu apa yang akan terjadi. Sekarang ketik kalimat ini:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">=rand (200, 99)</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kemudian tekan enter. Maka akan terjadi keanehan!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em><span style="color:#800080;">Permainan ke-5: Bush hid the facts</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Copy-paste atau ketik tanpa tanda petik di notepad: <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">"Bush hid the facts"</span></strong> . Kemudian simpan dan tutup notepad. Buka lagi file tadi. Tulisannya berubah jadi apa?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em><span style="color:#800080;">Permainan ke-6: .LOG file</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Buka notepad. Baris paling atas, ketik .LOG (ada titiknya lho), kemudian ENTER. Save dan tutup notepad. Sekarang buka lagi file tadi. Tulis apa saja di bawah tulisan .LOG, simpan kemudian tutup. Buka lagi file tadi, sekarang ada jamnya ya? Tulis sesuatu lagi, simpan kemudian tutup. Yang jelas setiap kali kita membuka dan menyimpan, selalu ada waktu yang mengikuti. Itu gara-gara baris pertamanya .LOG</p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Bagaimana ?  benar kan ? kalian terheran-heran ?</span></strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Masih banyak kok, keanehan yang terdapat didalam Sistem Operasi milik kita. bila anda pengen tahu yang lainnya. update terus informasi terbaru di blog saya ini. OK!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Salam IT!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://entregeeks.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/windows_logo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1484" src="http://entregeeks.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/windows_logo.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="370" /></a></p>
<p>Segun los expertos (y casi todo el mundo) Windows es el OS mas inseguro del mundo pero tambien el mas popular, Windows es inseguro desde que se inicio y de ahi mismo, trabajando sobre la misma plataforma vieja y llena de errores fueron solo actualizandola y agregandole cosas bonitas pero no funcionales, y es asi como Microsoft a estado pensando en matar a Windows, no, no a Windows Vista, sino a todo el OS Windows.</p>
<p>En estos dias en el que la comunidad GNU esta creciendo rapidamente y Microsoft esta perdiendo muchisimo dinero, ya sea con las demandas de monopolio, con los problemas del x-box o con regresar el dinero a las personas que usaron el Windows Vista y perdiendo alianzas con las empresas del hardware y a su vez estas mismas comenzar a hacer alianzas con la comunidad GNU, Microsoft quiere reaccionar.</p>
<p>Se han colado a internet "informacion tecnica" muy importante acerca de un nuevo sistema operativo llamado Midori el cual vendra a sustituir el actual Windows. Este OS se esta creando desde 0, desde los cimientos y al menos parece prometer que sera mas seguro y muy diferente a como lo es ahora su hermano Windows.</p>
<p>Microsoft esta en peligro, primero se va Bill Gates (mmmm, se habra ido por que Microsoft ya esta en declive?), despues anuncian que van a descontinuar a Windows (bueno, no anunciaron aun, pero eso pasara).</p>
<p>Definitivamente la gente no reaccionara de la misma manera, si cuando voy a un ciber cafe aun escucho a gente preguntar que en donde esta su Internet Explorer cuando solo ha cambiado el logo del mismo. Microsoft sera este tu fin o sera tu resurgimiento?</p>
