Who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL"?
Have you ever thought of the person who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL" key combination?
"David Bradley" -- He is the One who spent 1
minute and 23 seconds in writing the source code that rescues the world's PC users for
decades.
This extraordinary IBM employee is retiring on Friday after a prolong service of 29 years.
His formula forces obstinate computers to
restart when they no longer follow other commands. By 1980, Bradley was one of 12 people
working to create the debut. The engineers knew
they had to design a simple way to restart the computer when it fails to respond the user --
Bradley wrote the code to make it work.
Bradley says. "I did a lot of other things than Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I'm famous for that one."
His fame and success is achieved each time a PC
user fails. He commented his relationship with Bill gates by saying " I may have invented it,
but Bill gates made it famous by applying my
formula when ever any Microsoft's Windows operating system made by him CRASHES, thus I
win when ever he looses". |

| We had a discussion/argument
that administrative policies which forces us to change password every 30
days is really painful. We should have some alternative mechanism.
But administrative policies can't be kept loose in the interest of
security. Vineet gave a TIP which is quite useful in remembering our
passwords.
Vineet:
"BTW, I change my password every 30 days. The trick is to not keep
passwords, but to use pass phrases: "Life's Like That!" - really
easy to remember."
Thanks Vineet.... That was a Very Cool TIP |

| Microsoft has filed a federal lawsuit against testing materials vendor TestKing, alleging that the company is illegally selling the actual answers to its certification exams.
Justice on the other hand has a different
argument : "If you banned testking, according to all points of view,
no one want to take professional certifications. Testking is really
encouragement now since his time. If TK is banned, everyone will be
depressed and there will be no one to take those exam. So. the best thing
of my suggestion is TK should not be banned because there are numerous
number of MCSE or CIsco or other certification holders whose mind and
willingness have been encouraged by TK very greatly."
What is your opinion? |
