કૂવો, not really kill, just bring down. But it makes the title sound nice.
In other news, Microsoft has finally done something right by bringing down Rustock, a botnet that infected millions of computers and caused them to send massive amounts of spam. Rustock was one of the (if not the) biggest spam networks in the world.
માઈક્રોસોફ્ટ (and some feds) raided some hosting facilities in the US and took down the servers that instructed infected computers to send spam.

As usual, I got bored so I wrote a game in JavaScript. It’s a role-playing game called Labyrinth (you can find it here) which follows a guy who gets lost in a cave. You have to collect sticks to destroy barrels, planks to cross water, keys for colored doors, and more.
Here’s what Labyrinth looks like:
I know it’s horribly drawn, but I drew everything myself. I’m such a bad artist that it’s a miracle that the key even looked like a key. And that glowing yellow/orange/red thing is a lantern.
Well done, Bill, you’ve finally done something right. ઈન્ટરનેટ એક્સપ્લોરર 9 is now out and can be downloaded from microsoft.com. Here’s the catch: it only works on Windows Vista and 7.

Thoughts on the new browser

I was bored (and my calculator was out of batteries), so I figured I’d take a crack at developing a web-based calculator. (You can find it at hathix.com/etc/calculator. મૂળભૂત રીતે, you can enter some commands (variable declarations or function calls) and the calculator will use JavaScript power to find the answer.
The neatest thing about the calculator is that it has some built-in functions (anything from finding a number’s square root to finding the LCM of two numbers to finding the solutions to a quadratic equation.)
Here are some commands you can enter into the calculator and what they do:
મારા માતા - પિતા માત્ર એક ઝિપ ફાઈલ ડાઉનલોડ ઇન્ટરનેટ (ખાતરી કરો કે નથી તે શું હતું, હું એક સ્થાપક અથવા કંઈક વિચાર કરો.) પણ જે બિંદુ બાજુના છે, મહત્વની બાબત એ છે કે તેઓ તેને ઝિપસાંકળ છોડવી જરૂરી છે કે જેથી તેઓ ફાઈલો વાપરવા અંદર શકે. તેઓ ડાઉનલોડ WinZip, જે તમને ફાઈલો ઝિપસાંકળ છોડવી.
તમામ સારું, અધિકાર? માત્ર સમસ્યા એ છે કે તે ઘણો ખર્ચ. $30, હકીકતમાં. કે ખૂબ જેવું લાગતું નથી, પરંતુ સોફ્ટવેર સાથે અંગૂઠા સામાન્ય નિયમ છે:
જો તમે તમારા ક્રેડિટ કાર્ડ ખેંચાય કંઈક ડાઉનલોડ, તમે કદાચ ખૂબ ચૂકવ્યા.
