Dear all,

First of all I thank all the active forum members (present/future) for sharing valuable resources and making this forum running successfully then and there. The purpose why I opened this new topic is to say something about the dead link notification option in each topic.

1. Everyone can report "dead link" in this forum by using the "Report" option available in the posted topic. Forum Admin and moderators give a warm welcome for those helpful things.
2. Forum admin and moderators will always check the dead links before closing the topic and so don't want to betray anyone.
   
3. Forum Admin and Moderators will do their job as best as they can by cleaning all the dead links from the forum then and there.
4. Some links may not be accessible from your place, whereas it will be well and good for others. So, please mention the proper reasons when you are reporting a dead link. Without proper reasons no topic will be moved to Trash Collector.

Don't disturb forum admin and moderators by reporting dead link for an active topic. Instead of that kindly avoid using that option than using it and troubling others.

Dear Frenz,

i am getting lot of requests from some of active members to put "
Programmer of the Month" competition like Creator of the month. i think it is a very good idea.. we can utilize our free time in a meaning way instead of sending forwarding mails

but, i have no idea at all about how to start this contest?

so, the guys who interested in this contest can put up suggestions here.. at the end, we will come up with one decision..

Throw ur ideas here buddy...

Only4Gurus was basically started as a small forum unit in June 2004 where a few friends could communicate and share their knowledge among them.
You may think why a forum for just sharing thoughts.Thtz what many people wonder, what these group of friends actually thought was why should the knowledge that we have gained be limited to us let us share it.

Thtz how came the caption

"Sharing thoughts.But only4gurus."

You may again have a question regarding the caption "But only4gurus"

This caption was added bcoz whoever joins our forum we see to it that he gets knowlwdge as well as free enjoyable time with this forum and emerges out as a GURU.

We now have around 16500 members and growing more minute by minute.

We believe that knowledge is best nurtured when it is shared.So keep sharing and enjoy your time in the forum.

Our Forum is divided into sections:

General Rules

Due to the realtime nature of this board, it is impossible for all posts to be monitored and neither the Administrators nor the Moderators will be held accountable for any offensive or illegal post made by the board's members.


Please do a SEARCH before posting in any threads/posts, as the program you are posting may already be LISTED ... then just add your link to that Thread. Don't create multiple threads on same topic and don't post same url's again and again to increase your post count.


Flooding the board with posts is not allowed (Flooding is posting a large number of posts quickly). You should NEVER have two posts consecutively (one after the other), as you can edit your post to change any mistakes or add any comments. If you do so, it will be considered as SPAM and for SPAMMING, we have the right to give warnings and suspend/delete the account’s


SPAM is not allowed on the board in ANY case. If SPAM is added on the board, then the post will either be deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. Spam can be considered as: posting a large number of "Thank you" posts to gain status on the board. Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum, be it off topic or on topic. Examples include: empty posts, posts with few words that have no relation to the current thread or discussion and those posts that state they are spam, either to annoy or increase a member's post count. This determination is made by the forum Administrator's and is not up for discussion.


This board is a collection of sections, which are dedicated to specific criteria and should NOT be considered a place to incite argument or debate which are based on moral, political, philosophical, ethical, or cultural issues. IT IS NOT FREE SPEECH. It is privately owned

Hi,

The 3rd Feature Pack For Vista Is Arriving...

Microsoft will release a new Windows Feature Pack for Storage which contains 3 technologies:

* Active Storage Platform: enables the Windows platform to restrict access to portable devices (such as a USB Flash Device) via a certificate or password authentication based on the IEEE 1667 standard specification.
* Image Mastering API update for Blu-Ray media: enables the Windows platform to do master style optical burning on Blu-Ray media.
* Smart Card Driver: provides support for new form factors, such as ICCD/CCID.


Windows Feature Pack for Storage will be available for the following operating systems: Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP SP2+, Windows Server 2003 SP1+. Smartcard on XP is only available in 32 bit.

The Windows Feature pack for Storage won’t be the first Vista feature pack. Microsoft has released, in addition to the previously mentioned optical feature pack, the Windows Vista Feature Pack for Wireless and the Windows Media Center TV Pack.

Feature packs are a way for Microsoft to get new features to users without making them wait for the next major Windows release. Unlike Service Packs, which typically are more about bug fixes than new features, feature packs are, as the name suggests, the delivery vehicle for new, between-release, features.

Even as you read this article, computer chip manufacturers are furiously racing to make the next microprocessor that will topple speed records. Sooner or later, though, this competition is bound to hit a wall. Microprocessors made of silicon will eventually reach their limits of speed and miniaturization. Chip makers need a new material to produce faster computing speeds.
You won't believe where scientists have found the new material they need to build the next generation of microprocessors. Millions of natural supercomputers exist inside living organisms, including your body. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules, the material our genes are made of, have the potential to perform calculations many times faster than the world's most powerful human-built computers. DNA might one day be integrated into a computer chip to create a so-called biochip that will push computers even faster. DNA molecules have already been harnessed to perform complex mathematical problems.
While still in their infancy, DNA computers will be capable of storing billions of times more data than your personal computer. In this article, you'll learn how scientists are using genetic material to create nano-computers that might take the place of silicon-based computers in the next decade.


A Fledgling Technology
DNA computers can't be found at your local electronics store yet. The technology is still in development, and didn't even exist as a concept a decade ago. In 1994, Leonard Adleman introduced the idea of using DNA to solve complex mathematical problems. Adleman, a computer scientist at the University of Southern California, came to the conclusion that DNA had computational potential after reading the book "Molecular Biology of the Gene," written by James Watson, who co-discovered the structure of DNA in 1953. In fact, DNA is very similar to a computer hard drive in how it stores permanent information about your genes.
Adleman is often called the inventor of DNA computers. His article in a 1994 issue of the journal Science outlined how to use DNA to solve a well-known mathematical problem, called the directed Hamilton Path problem, also known as the "traveling salesman" problem. The goal of the problem is to find the shortest route between a number of cities, going through each city only once. As you add more cities to the problem, the problem becomes more difficult. Adleman chose to find the shortest route between seven cities.
You could probably draw this problem out on paper and come to a solution faster than Adleman did using his DNA test-tube computer. Here are the steps taken in the Adleman DNA computer experiment:
1. Strands of DNA represent the seven cities. In genes, genetic coding is represented by the letters A, T, C and G. Some sequence of these four letters represented each city and possible flight path.
2. These molecules are then mixed in a test tube, with some of these DNA strands sticking together. A chain of these strands represents a possible answer.
3. Within a few seconds, all of the possible combinations of DNA strands, which represent answers, are created in the test tube.
4. Adleman eliminates the wrong molecules through chemical reactions, which leaves behind only the flight paths that connect all seven cities.
The success of the Adleman DNA computer proves that DNA can be used to calculate complex mathematical problems. However, this early DNA computer is far from challenging silicon-based computers in terms of speed. The Adleman DNA computer created a group of possible answers very quickly, but it took days for Adleman to narrow down the possibilities. Another drawback of his DNA computer is that it requires human assistance. The goal of the DNA computing field is to create a device that can work independent of human involvement.
Three years after Adleman's experiment, researchers at the University of Rochester developed logic gates made of DNA. Logic gates are a vital part of how your computer carries out functions that you command it to do. These gates convert binary code moving through the computer into a series of signals that the computer uses to perform operations. Currently, logic gates interpret input signals from silicon transistors, and convert those signals into an output signal that allows the computer to perform complex functions.
The Rochester team's DNA logic gates are the first step toward creating a computer that has a structure similar to that of an electronic PC. Instead of using electrical signals to perform logical operations, these DNA logic gates rely on DNA code. They detect fragments of genetic material as input, splice together these fragments and form a single output. For instance, a genetic gate called the "And gate" links two DNA inputs by chemically binding them so they're locked in an end-to-end structure, similar to the way two Legos might be fastened by a third Lego between them. The researchers believe that these logic gates might be combined with DNA microchips to create a breakthrough in DNA computing.
DNA computer components -- logic gates and biochips -- will take years to develop into a practical, workable DNA computer. If such a computer is ever built, scientists say that it will be more compact, accurate and efficient than conventional computers. In the next section, we'll look at how DNA computers could surpass their silicon-based predecessors, and what tasks these computers would perform.
A Successor to Silicon
Silicon microprocessors have been the heart of the computing world for more than 40 years. In that time, manufacturers have crammed more and more electronic devices onto their microprocessors. In accordance with Moore's Law, the number of electronic devices put on a microprocessor has doubled every 18 months. Moore's Law is named after Intel founder Gordon Moore, who predicted in 1965 that microprocessors would double in complexity every two years. Many have predicted that Moore's Law will soon reach its end, because of the physical speed and miniaturization limitations of silicon microprocessors.
DNA computers have the potential to take computing to new levels, picking up where Moore's Law leaves off. There are several advantages to using DNA instead of silicon:
• As long as there are cellular organisms, there will always be a supply of DNA.
• The larg
