As some of you who might notice, Rapidshare has introduced a new plan called RapidPro that uses a point-system as opposed to the monthly subscription based scheme previously. This has caused confusion to the previous Rapidshare Premium account holders and potential users.

Unlike previous system that allow you to download as many files of any size in a given month, the new system instead tracks your downloads based on your data transfer (aka traffic) in a given month. In order to use RapidShare Premium for a period of 30 days with 30GB data transfer, you will need 99 Rapids (points).

What is Rapids (points)?
Rapids is your credits/points used in the new RapidShare Premium account. It costs 14 Rapids per 5GB downloads. So if you have 400 Rapids, it will allow you to download : (400/14)*5 = 28.57 * 5 = 147.85GB!

What if my Rapids runs out before my month is due?
You simply can’t download! You will need to ‘charge’ up your account to resume downloading at the rate of 14 Rapids per 5GB or 2.8 Rapids for 1GB.

What if I don’t exceed 99 Rapids (download <30GB), and my month is up?
Easy, you need to extend your account just like previously, for 99 Rapids per renewal. The remaining Rapids will be carried over to the next month. So it’s easy.

The new RapidShare system works just like ordinary {Hotlink, Xpax, DiGi} Prepaids plan! Your will have to top-up in order to talk, and if your months is up before you’ve got the chance to finish up the credit, just simply top up another RM10 to gain another month, with the previous balance carried over!

See? It’s easy! Go and get RapidShare Premium now!

The exchange seems almost fluid and being done by a human being, except that my friend and I never had conversation in English! This seems all too fishy when he didn’t response to my conclusion that his computer is infected by a malware/virus. Here are the screenshot of the exchange, (warning: the transcripts contain expletives)

Beware, these kind of viruses can compromise the security of your computer and may be used to harvest your password and other personal information for criminal intent. A seemingly innocent Online Quiz website may be used by phishers in order to commit fraudulent activity.

Verify whether it is really your friend is communicating with you and not somebody else or a program pretending to be him/her, and most importantly do not fell victim to Yahoo Messenger viruses, the result can be devastating.

You can download Urban Terror from its official website and start fraggin’ now!

An easy to use utility, DriverBackup! searches for your hardware drivers in your windows operating system and let you select which of the drivers that you wished to archive, in order to be use later in new Windows installations.

Why DriversBackup!? because it is a pain in the ass to search for free hardware drivers,

It is a turn-based game, but unlike any typical turn-base game it includes elements of real-time action

The premise of this game is the aliens are invading Earth, and it is up to X-COM, an elite black-ops organization funded by UN to protect the planet from the Alien terror. The alien uses advance weaponry and genetic engineering to achieve their goals, while the humans with organized efforts from several countries would attempt to stop the invaders from succeeding in their plans.

Probably SIRIM should perform a thorough checking on its website before publishing it to the internet, there must be a “Standard” for website security I assume?

Having said that, I’d like to present CWirc, an XChat irc client plugin which enables you to send and receive morse code through IRC. Developed by a fellow ham F8EJF, CWIrc has a lot of features which really enhance your CW experience on the internet, including the option of hooking up a real CW keyer using serial port interface.

CWIrc enables you to exchange morse code with fellow irc users on the internet, provided that the other users also knows morse code and has installed CWIrc. Though this might sound a little bit of a stretch when thinking the odds of meeting people with both requirements, it is actually not so in reality. You can find those kind of people exactly in #cwirc on irc.freenode.net server who are eager to chat with you in CW.

Requirements

• Linux (or Unix based) machines (I personally used Ubuntu)
• XChat IRC Client
• CWIRc plugin

Both XChat and CWIrc are included in Ubuntu (as well as Debian) software repository, so you don’t need to compile or download separate package from their respective websites.

I promise to include a Youtube video demonstrating its sound and operation. Next, I need to get a decent casing and some cheap morse keyer to go with this oscillator. I might be planning to make one that could interface with CWirc too.
