A while back, I was having a strange issue with PDF attachments in Mail, but only on my MacBook Pro. I'd open an e-mail with an attached PDF, and Mail would show the file's name, but instead of seeing a preview of the document, I'd see a small (10x10 pixel) black square. If I tried to save the PDF to the Finder, and then open it in Preview or Reader, I'd get a message stating that the PDF was corr

This is especially true when you are dual booting between windows and Linux OSes. Once when I was working in Windows XP, I accidentally clicked the hibernate button instead of shutdown.

Mikheil Saakashvili has clearly been binging on the freedom cool aid as these are the words that he has just spoken at the Young Atlanticists Summit in Bucharest. They were preceded by, "yes I believe you should privatize everything." Saakashvili is in Bucharest this week to try and get Georgia a membership action plan for NATO, a measure that is the first, but definitely not irreversible step on the path to membership. His Bushian rhetoric is clearly symptomatic of the fact that America is the most forceful backer of closer ties with Georgia. However as we know, Georgia will not have any concrete progress towards NATO tomorrow, out of the 26 members of the alliance only 18 favor giving MAP to Georgia and France and Germany have threatened the veto. There are many complex reasons why the m

The findings of an integrity survey conducted by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in 30 public institutions and state companies providing public services between last August and October in Greater Jakarta simply validated the international perception of Indonesia's government as one of the most corrupt in the world. Berlin-based Transparency International (TI) last year ranked the Indonesian government 143rd out of 179 countries surveyed for its annual Corruption Perception Index with a score of 2.3 on a scale of one to 10, even lower than Vanuatu, Pakistan and the Philippines. The average score gained by government offices and state companies in the KPK survey was only 5.33, which KPK said was worse than the integrity levels of public sectors in most other countries.

The Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and China are among the most corrupt Asian economies, according to results of a regional poll of expatriate businessmen released Monday.Singapore and Hong Kong retained their rankings as the cleanest economies, the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) said.The annual survey covers only 13 economies in Asia and excludes other countries notorious for corruption, such as Myanmar and Bangladesh. Some 1,400 expatriates were polled in January and February this year, PERC said.Corruption remains a problem in the region despite huge economic progress made over the years, with governments generally lacking the political will to tackle the problem, the Hong Kong-based PERC said.The Philippines scored 9.0 out of a possible 10 points under a grading syste

Indonesia is struggling to come to terms with more fundamental governance issues within its banking system.Some private banks have committed to reform since the Asian crisis of a decade ago, but now the governor of the Central Bank stands accused of corruption.In the developed world, a corruption scandal reaching to the very top of a nation's Central Bank would be enough to wreak havoc in the market and bring a government to its knees.But not in Indonesia, where corruption is systematic and endemic, and in this case, embroiling not only the country's Central Bank but its Parliament, too.Paul Rowland from the National Democratic Institute says corruption is holding Indonesia back.

India, thanks to the unshackling of the long suppressed dynamism and competitiveness shown by India Inc, is now looking to achieve what China has done, thanks to the pride and vision displayed by its political leadership. The Chinese leadership is completely focused on taking the country forward to the top of the global heap. In the pursuit of this objective, it has recognized that corruption is the one retardant that can not only sour its dream but also stain national character in a manner that can cause unacceptable damage in the long term. In China, the nation be proud, corruption is frowned upon and deterred by capital punishment. In India, on the other hand, in the face of ever increasing scandals involving our politicians and bureaucrats, governments continue to endorse p

A few months ago, I wrote an open letter to Diane Feinstein after she voted in favor of giving the Bush Administration expanded power to spy on Americans. I couldn’t figure out why, as a highly respected Democrat, Diane Feinstein would be so willing to go along with the Bush Administration’s policies. After all, it wasn’t the first time she had voted with the neo-conservatives. She voted in favor of giving President Bush the authority to attack Iraq in 2002. She voted for the Patriot Act. She voted to extend the Patriot Act. She voted in favor of condemning MoveOn.org, and in effect her Democratic base, for questioning the motives of General Petreaus. She voted in favor of confirming Michael Mukasey as Attorney General, even though he made it quite clear he would bend the rules for the Bush Administration. As a Democrat, why would she do these things? It turns out that she may be going along with Bush Administration policies because she is, for all intents and purposes, a lot

Environmental activists have accused Indonesian courts of what they call corrupt and obstructive attempts to halt illegal logging.Job Rahmad Purba, executive director of WALHI North Sumatra, a branch of the global network Friends of the Earth, told Adnkronos International (AKI) that the country’s legal system cannot be trusted to handle forestry cases.“We need a special ad hoc court for environmental issues,” Purba said. “The judges and prosecutors don’t have enough knowledge about the issue, and although there is some will to stop illegal logging, in practice, with bribery and all, officials have made the legal system negotiable.”His comments followed a court ruling in which a timber baron was freed of all illegal logging charges on Monday, despite what police called the most comprehensive investigation ever conducted into forest destruction.The report was entitled “The Thousand-Headed Snake; Forest Crimes, Corruption and Injustice in Indonesia.”It said: “The hard wo

I have it bad. I came to that realization when I made myself late for work as a result of making buying Metroid Prime 3: Corruption a priority. Karma kicked me in the arse for it though, because I got stuck at work for an additional half an hour hunched over a computer and on the phone trying to fix a mess another colleague had caused.I bought Phantom hourglass yesterday an dhave barely had a chance to play it! I got a 5 minute session on it before bed and then a 5 minute one during my lunch break at work today. I'm never taking my DS into work again. Colleagues kept asking me questions about it, wanting to snatch it and have a go. So far I'm really liking Zelda on the DS though. My initial impressions of this game are alot more positive than those when I first played The Windwaker. The beginning of that game was friggin' boring.

We just can't get over this SCHIP business. It's the most cold-hearted thing we've stumbled across in a long time, and those who decided to oppose it (whether or not it's a good idea -- this is political reality) are going to suffer in the eyes of the public. The video above is the newest in a series of ads making the rounds as Congress works on the overriding President Nitwit's veto. A little more today on the story... WASHINGTON (AP) - Seeking support for a vetoed children's health insurance bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi charged Tuesday that "hate radio has made a vicious attack" on a 12-year-old Baltimore boy who receives coverage through the program.

Excel worksheets are used to create and manage financial transactions, performance reports, charts, business reports, accounting transactions, and other financial and diagrammatic records. The excel (.xls) files generally get corrupt due to registry corruptions, virus attacks, unexpected system shutdowns, power failures and media corruptions. To recover back the lost and deleted excel files and data you can utilize the inbuilt recovery measures provided in MS Excel which performs the recovery procedure effectively and repairs the corruption in almost every case.Whenever an excel file gets corrupt due to unexpected system shutdown or power failure, the very next time when the application is launched, MS Excel displays a Document Recovery Window, where list of all the repaired files are listed. You can select the appropriate file and the last saved data will be recovered instantly.But in case if MS Excel does not recovers the file, you can manually start the process of recovery:1. Open N

Thoughts about the uncanny events of last Sunday's match between Chelsea and Man United began to sprout in my head almost immediately as they occurred. The actions that affected the match the most were based upon officiating decisions, something in which should never occur. A referee should never play a role in the match and most of all his name should never be remembered.What is even more baffling is that these decisions were entirely wrong, largely favored one side, and allowed the questioning of at least a few uncalled infractions that appeared to be more severe. I'm not saying that United wouldn't have won the match anyhow, but they should have at least earned it.The red card for Obi Mikel was ridiculous. There is simply no justification for it. The only card in that encounter that should have even been considered was one for 'acting out' by Evra. It seemed to me that Mike Dean saw an opportunity to give one side a clear advantage, especially with the gross over-reaction

With motherboards that use BOOT BLOCK BIOS it is possible to recover a corrupted BIOS because the BOOT BLOCK section of the BIOS, which is responsible for booting the computer remains unmodified.When an AMI BIOS becomes corrupt the system will appear to start, but nothing will appear on the screen, the floppy drive light will come on and the system will access the floppy drive repeatedly. If your motherboard has an ISA slot and you have an old ISA video card lying around, put the ISA video card in your system and connect the monitor.The BOOT BLOCK section of the BIOS only supports ISA video cards, so if you do not have an ISA video card or your motherboard does not have ISA slots, you will have to restore your BIOS blind, with no monitor to show you what’s going on.AMI has integrated a recovery routine into the BOOT BLOCK of the BIOS, which in the event the BIOS becomes corrupt can be used to restore the BIOS to a working state.The routine is called when the SYSTEM BLOCK of the BIOS

Bargaining and keeping a close eye on your money is always a challenging affair while traveling in developing countries. Chris at Nomad4Ever writes a great piece on how to avoid being scammed by Police in Bali. His principals can be applied to most developing countries. I remember hearing a story of a foreigner in Cambodia who was quite down and critical of the country. While his friends when out for “Happy” Pizza, he was robbed at gun point of his money and passport. Frantically, he went to the police station to make a report. The police were asleep in the cells, but did reluctantly put on their pants to make a report. The catch was they demanded $50 payment to begin the investigation. After handing over the bill, the police offered to drive him to his hotel, but not before pulling into a gas station and forcing the foreigner to fill up the tank. The next morning a group of officers showed up at the hotel demanding another $100 to continue searching for the “unknown&

If you stay a bit longer in Bali - longer than just a few days that is - and plan driving a vehicle like a Scooter or Car here, it’s almost unavoidable that you will be stopped by the police once in a while. If you are wearing your helmet how it should be or are correctly buckled up in your car - that has usually only one reason -> to extort money from you - the “wealthy” foreigner or tourist.Their most common and successful scheme is to ask you for your International Driving License, which - if you can’t show one, but only a national one - would cost you some ‘tea money’ of Rp 20.000 if you ride a bike or Rp 50.000 if driving a car (more, if you appear ‘fresh from the boat’, or if you wear gold rings and necklaces all over or Dollar Bills are hanging out of your pockets). As an alternative you will be “threatened” to come with them to the Police Station or more seriously to go on standing trial in Bali’s capital Denpasar (Both this never happens, as it would mean

The Office Letter, publishes in its May 7th issue a readers tip, how to use OpenOffice.org the free open source office suite to read and rescue corrupt Microsoft Office documents. Paul Denize, the author of the tip writes “It appears that Word was saving files that it would later not be able to open or recover. When I closed the document, Word would not reopen them, saying they were corrupt.” He recommends “Open Office did not complain when opening the so-called corrupt document, and managed to saved it back out. Then I could return to MS Word and open it successfully again. All I had lost was a few formatting items — some images were a different size and some grey lines were now black. I could live with that.” Not that Paul argues to change to OpenOffice.org outright. But he seems to finds it a useful tool to rescue his corrupted Word document.

In ancient India the caste system with its ideas of birth and rebirth and practices of obligatory unpaid services (vishti and balutem) for the construction of temples, palaces, forts, etc., along with institutions of Dana made physical slavery unnecessary - mental slavery through blind belief was sufficient for the diversion of the social surplus from the class of Vaishya-shudra producers to that of the non-producing categories.So who or what runs your world?
