The Theory of Missing Bytes!

           Last week I bought a new 1TB WD external hard disk. I was not much surprised to see my hard disk showing up only 931.322 gb of available space, but as usual wondered what must be the theory behind it. Well it turned out to be pretty simple, here you go.
Disk manufacturer takes for granted
1KB = 1000B, 1MB = 1000KB, 1GB = 1000MB and so on!
Well, software inbuilt in your computer counts space in multiples of 2, ie 2 bytes, 4 bytes, 8 bytes and so on. So
1KB = 2 power 10 bytes ie 1024 Bytes
1MB = 2 power 20 bytes ie 1024 KBytes ie 1024x1024Bytes

Let's do a bit more math now!
My hard disk manufacturer provided me with 1TB of space
ie 1TB = 1000x1000x1000x1000 Bytes
But my software counts 1KB as 1024 Bytes so the available 10 power 12bytes must be devided  by 1024 power 4 bytes to get available space as seen by my software!
(10 power 12 )/1024/1024/1024/1024 which amounts to .9313 TB ie 931.322GB!!
This is where the remaining 68.67GB has gone! This missing space increases with higher capacity hard drives and decreases with lower capacity hard drives.

Bhoom! ... You can be the king of any wifi network!

      What do you expect when you are connected to a nearby wifi? well, pretty simple!
" I want all the SPEED" ! yeah exactly.

        And here is a way to fulfill your dream, each and everytime!. Yeah, you heard me right, there is this wonderful software which has enabled me to snoop over any connected network and be the king of someone else's kingdom since years!
Its named pretty well
"NETCUT "
          Its a software on windows platform which enables you to disconnect anyone who has connected to the same wifi to which you are connected in. Its quite simply software for which you need not bug your head.
just open the application, cutoff the other clients(computers), enjoy all the speed!!!!!

The procedure is too simple. Open the application netcut, select all clients except the first two( first one is your wifi server and second will be your own pc as the client) and click on cutoff!!! thats it. You will see the your download speeds going to lighting speeds!!! I have used this for quite a while and have experienced no problems! it works really great!

Is this a crime? Not at all! you are just messing up with others data packets which never reach the respective client. Hence they dont recieve the required data and thus their speeds vanish! its a sofware bug, for which you wont be held responsible!

Anyone wants to know the technical part?
go HERE

What if someone else use's this application against you?
solution: There is something called anti netcut. Download, install it, protect yourself!
solution2: No need of any antinetcut!, keep your netcut running which defends yourself!

Here you go! DOWNLOAD netcut and enjoy!!

Self satisfaction! Do you have it?

         We all have some disappointments in life! don't we?. Sometimes we experience them and other times we pretend! I remember me pretending to be unhappy just because i didn't have enough toys to play!.well things have changed now. Even though i am not pretty grown up, i am pretty much sure of my needs and my dreams. ie. i aim for the bigger ones, may be a smart phone or an ultra book!

Do i still have that disappointment in me when i'm not able to get them?

Well, i don't! At least not after watching this video!

 lets recollect!

• biggest democracy! 
• 2nd most populous 
• Product of Indus valley civilization 
• 10th largest economy
• Mother of four religions - Hinduism, Buddhism,Jainism, and Sikhism
  
  I can go on like for days and still wont be able to finish describing our country! ..hmm .yeah our country is awesome! 
• well, we all know the size and shape of our country right? lets see..

IS IT??

ARE YOU SURE?
Well, you are wrong! we all are fooled by our own government! 

The actual shape goes something like this!

Head shaved? :O

Stunned? :O 

That was hell lot of a surprise for me when i first saw it! It looked more like the one we used to draw when we were in schools! yeah! those shape less ones..

So,
Should we really care for this?

whom should we blame?

Keep thinking!

The whole funda of Bits and Bytes!

     You must be always wondering why my internet speed is slow in spite of your ISP(Internet Service Provider) promising you with several Mbps. Well, the basic misconception behind all this is that your computer measures data in bytes (eg : kilobytes, megabytes) and your ISP measures the same in bits!. Its that simple!. so whatever speed your ISP says will be 8 times more than whatever you experience practically! you have a 2 Mbps connection? ,well then you must be getting a speed of 2/8 ,ie .25 KBps! ie 256 KBps.
       Whenever you see speed in Mbps or Kbps(mega or kilo bits per second) divide the numerical by 8 to get the actual data transfer speed!. As convection "b" is taken as bits and "B" as bytes to avoid confusion!
so next time whenever your friend says that he has a 1 Mbps connection, He refers to bits per second and not bytes!. Your friend will be able to download 1 MB of data in 8 seconds and not in 1 single second!

Here is the basic data conversion table!

Unit	Equals
1 Bit	Binary Digit
8 Bits	1 Byte
1024 Bytes	1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes	1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes	1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes	1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes	1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes	1 Exabyte -
1024 Exabytes	1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabytes	1 Yottabyte
1024 Yottabytes	1 Brontobyte

Abbreviation Table!

Unit	Abbreviation
Bit	b
Byte	B
Kilo Byte	KB
Mega Byte	MB
Giga Byte	GB
Tera Byte	TB
Peta Byte	PB
Exa Byte	EB
Zetta Byte	ZB
Yotta Byte	YB
Bronto Byte	BB
