Microsoft helps kill spammers

Dobrze, 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.

Microsoft (and some feds) raided some hosting facilities in the US and took down the servers that instructed infected computers to send spam.

Labyrinth

As usual, I got bored so I wrote a game in JavaScript. It’s a role-playing game called Labyrinth (you can find it tutaj) 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, więcej.

Thoughts on the new browser

For one thing, it’s a lot better than Internet Explorer 8, although that isn’t saying much. To be honest, it’s actually decent; Internet Explorer can now compete with the other popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome.

Here’s what really matters:

Kalkulator zasilany na JavaScript

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. Basically, 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:

7-Zamek błyskawiczny: darmowy sposób rozpakować pliki

Moi rodzice po prostu pobrać plik zip z Internet (nie wiem co to było, Myślę, że instalator lub coś.) Ale to nie na temat, Ważne jest to, że muszą go rozpakować, tak aby mogły uzyskać dostęp do plików wewnątrz. One pobierane WinZip, który pozwala rozpakować pliki.

Wszystko jest dobry, prawo? Jedynym problemem jest to, że kosztuje dużo. $30, w rzeczywistości. To nie wydaje się dużo, ale ogólna zasada jest z oprogramowaniem:
