The worlds’ biggest proxy. Yes. It is Google. This is going to be a short post, kind of a Q: & A:.
Q: World’s biggest proxy server?
A: Google. It routes your search though probably 10 servers to get the most reliable results. It’s really that simple. If a DOS of Google was possible, would you get caught? Very unlikely. This is a bug in Google that can’t be fixed because of how Google works. All of these good results come from this proxy setup. Don’t’ DOS Google unless you want to get flamed and then shot. No hacker would respect you DDOSing the best thing on the net.

How to trace ip's though MSN
How do I trace ips over MSN ??? HELPZZ!! If I see this question asked again – oh boy. Anyway, the simple answers I that you can’t (get a life script kiddie!).
Ok, ok – hold up. What’s an ip? A script kiddie? I'll answer that before I continue. An ip address a unique number that each computer gets and is used for tracing activity (use Google to find more). A script kiddie is someone that claims to be a hacker but in reality just uses other programs written by real hackers (average age: 12-15). This was the age of the famous “SK” that took down all those sites in 2000 (yahoo, CNN, use Google to find more info).
Back on topic, msn acts like a proxy (don’t know what this is? Look on the right for a post about unblocking websites to find out). It sends information to msn, and THEN to the person you’re talking to. If you try to trace, you will get MSN’s ip, which is useless. In order to get the ip, you’ll need to send them a file. Pictures are the best.
Now you need to know how to read ip’s. If you can’t, you use Google I don’t have time to teach you. Anyway, before you send the file, open cmd. (start-run-cmd). Type in netstat –n. Copy this to notepad or something. Now, send the file. When they accept the transfer, do this command again but now there should be one new one. This is their IP. Done.
Good job, you now have some information. An ip address is fairly useless by its own; however you can scare people that don’t know much about computers. You can probably get the ISP by typing in tracert ip.here.xx.xx. Thanks for reading!

2009 NBA all star skills competition
While watching this year’s all star game, I decided to write my own opinions down. I grabbed my laptop, and started typing at about 1 ½ hours in.
First off, the shooting stars. Well, congratulations to Detroit for winning. I was rather surprised that phoenix got 5 in a row and then took a minute to score, allowing Detroit to win. I enjoyed watching this; however it’s hard to critique so I'll move on to the next event.
So, here we are at the point guard one. Passing, shooting, dribbling, things a guard would do. This went pretty smooth, not to much to say here either. One thing I didn’t like was how to ball boy got in the way and in my opinion cost that player (forgot name) one second and possibly the title as this one second would have made a difference. Other than that, no problems with this event. Oh, yeah, derrick rose won =p
The 3 point shooting. The scores this year were slightly better on average than last year (in the first round); Steve Nash only got 9 when he did this event in 2008. D. Cook, R. Lewis and J. Kapono made it to the final round, with Kapono scoring 14, Lewis scoring 15 and Cook scoring 15. The second round was close in the end, which made it exciting for about 5-10 seconds. Otherwise, this year sucked. Last year was way better, which scores in the 20s (J. Kapono). In the tiebreaker, only 7 points were scored by Lewis. Fail. Cook did much better with a score in the high teens. Good job Cook.
Next, the “Sprite Slam Dunk” contest. There I just got some extra exposure for you, you should thank me. Dwight Howard didn’t dunk last year. Ok, yes, hand above the rim yada yada yada. Not a dunk in my books. So, my thoughts on this years’ dunks:
Round 1
1. Fernandez: Double bounce, good timing. 45 points.
2. Smith: Not exciting to me, 40 points.
3. Nate Robinson: Not bad, however nothing to good. 42 points.
4. Dwight Howard: Fail. But anyway, he made two bounces, and then on the third he missed! Dunk wasn’t to bad though, I give him 44 points. The judges gave him 50. FAIL! I was online on that Facebook app and most people gave between 42-45.
Round 2
5. Fernandez: Stolen idea from DW last year, couldn’t do it within two minutes anyway. When he eventually got it right though, 47 points.
6. Smith: Another difficult one, however I liked this one (When it eventually went in). 46 points.
7. Nate Robinson: Not bad, creative. 44 points.
8: Dwight Howard: One thing he has is creativity (except the cape, that’s a repeat). A higher net, 12 feet. Not that good of a dunk, just has height. 48 points (40. but + because I’ve never seen anyone jump that high)
Final round:
1. Robinson: Liked it, especially the dancing and the kryptonite was a nice added touch. 49 points.
2. Howard: Uh.. Not that great. Ok, but not great. 45 points.
3. Robinson: Nice. I liked the jumping over Howard, but there wasn’t much else. 44 points.
4. Howard: No good, just a long jump. 45 points again
I’d like to compliment the sportsmanship. Excellent job. My winner would be Robinson, however Dwight didn’t do that bad either. Good effort (I bet you though I hated the man. I don’t, I just hated that not-dunk last year, and the favoritism early on.) Robinson won by a VERY small margin. Dwight Howard did a very good thing letting him jump over for his second dunk.
Thanks for reading this, hope you enjoyed. Feel free (and please do) comment.

25 of the most useless facts
I have complied a list of random facts from wherever I could find them, and I've decided to place a bunch of them in a blog post. So, here we go!
Disclaimer Not all facts can be guaranteed.
Odontophobia is the fear of teeth.
A polar bear's skin is black, to absorb the sun.
The Egyptians used croc dung as a contraceptive
in 2000 BCE.
The Neanderthal's brain was bigger than the homosapien's brain is (and had a higher capacity as well!).
Henry Ford produced the model T only in black because the black paint available at the time was the fastest to dry.
Only one mammal can't jump - the Elephant.
One million goldfish bowls full of water = one stadium full of water.
There are 178 (on average) sesame seeds on each McDonalds burger bun.
Cockroaches can live without a head (some people say 4 days, some 9, and even as much as 28, if you have information let me know).
If you drove at 100 m/ph, it would take 29 million years to reach the nearest star.
Hey, cigarette supporters, check this one out: The first recorded time of a man quiting smoking was on April 5, 1679, when Johan Katsu, Sheriff of Turku, Finland, wrote this in his diary: "I quit smoking tobacco." He was dead about a month later.
The "cat" is not mentioned in the bible.
How many animals have 4 knees? 1. The humble elephant.
A duck's quack doesn't echo. No one knows why.
The female name, "Wendy", first appeared in 'Peter Pan'.
I bet you can't make a complete sentence with only four letters. I can.
In Scotland, a new game was invented. It was called Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.... and the word GOLF entered into the English language.
Honey made by bees doesn't spoil.
The voice actor for 'Bugs Bunny' was allergic to carrots.
The Roman Catholic Church did not acknowledge that the earth revolves around the sun until the mid 1990’s.
The average American eats 60 hot dogs a year, or about one every 6 days.
If you think the police ask a lot of questions, think about this: Children aged 4 are known to ask 400-500 questions per day, or about 36/hour, or one every 90 seconds (if they are awake for 12 hours a day).
Every year, the moon moves another .5 an inch further from the earth. In the average person's lifetime, this is about 30-40 inches.
And, finally, 63% of all statistics have one thing in common. They are made up.

How to delete your files forever
Today I am writing about a topic I keep hearing about: How to delete files forever, so that they can’t be “recovered”. Well, there are a few ways to do this; I will explain in full throughout this piece.
First off, this article is for windows users who want to delete their files. Most people are windows users, and if you are a windows user, there’s a good chance that you’re viewing on internet explorer or Firefox. Ok enough with the statistics; let’s move on to the actual article.
When you delete a file, it goes to the recycle bin. When you delete it from there, what happens? Well, in truth, nothing really. The space it used up now becomes “unallocated”, meaning that it is used but if the computer needs it will overwrite this data if it runs out of disk space. This unallocated space will appear as free space if you go into my computer and check the free space/used space pie chart. Ok, now that we know what actually happens when a file is deleted, let’s move on.
So how do we delete files forever? The first way is simple: smash the hard disk. If you are done with that drive, then do this. But don’t smash the whole computer. If it’s a desktop, then you’ll want to remove the hard disk. To do this, turn off the power and open it up. Now, look for a piece of hardware that looks like this:
Now, disconnect the cables and pull it out. There, done. Do what you can to this, drill holes, smash it, and bury the pieces in the ground in different locations. Put it in a fire for about 2 hours; take out the melted metal and rapid-cool it by putting it in cold water and then hammer this out. Seems like a lot to do, but you wouldn’t (or at least, shouldn’t) put personal data in the regular garbage. A new one of these is less than $100, just a side-note.
The next way to delete your files forever is to use a re-writer, like the one by Microsoft, found here. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx). This program is command-line based and has the small size of just under 50kb, meaning it’ll take 2 seconds to download on any connection. Another program you can use is called fileshredder, a Google search will turn up a download location for it. Both programs will delete your files forever.
Those are two ways to remove files from your computer. There are a few more, but these two will be good for any windows user. One more thing that I must point out: If you are a criminal reading this, and looking for how to delete incriminating evidence, that is a felony in the USA/Canada/UK, not sure about other countries. Just wouldn’t be fair If I didn’t mention that.
Thanks for reading, have fun deleting those files now!
