Peanut butter recall

I purchased a jar of Peter Pan Peanut Butter a few months back, because I had a craving for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I made no distinction on which peanut butter to select, i just know that Peter Pan is a house favorite. I also purchased a smuckers strawberry jelly to go with it. I took it home and refrigerated them when I got home. I guess I forgot about the craving that I had, so i procrastinated the sandwiches for another day. Days, then months went by and I still had not made any PB&J sandwiches. Trust me there were many nights that I saw it on the refrigerator as a snack, but found my self eating something else at the end.

This morning I am watching the news while in the hospital with Stepheny, and I saw an FDA recall on the Peter Pan jars with a product code starting with "2111" due to Salmonella contamination. I kept this in the back of my mind, because I know I have an unopened jar in the refrigerator. I got home and guess what I found?








Trust me, days like this make me think why we are in this world. I inhaled very deeply and my life flashed in front of my eyes. All I could say was....

WHAT IF?

Hackers have a way into our Information Infrastructure

We are past due! We have been attacked again on the Information super high way. Some foreign hackers has manage to hack DNS servers. DNS = Domain Name Service. These servers control the names that we come to love like youtube.com and yahoo.com. This is a significant hack since they were able to slow down the Internet due to massive amount of data being pushed through the .org suffix. I see now why our Internet access was so slow the other day at work (we have an org suffix). Anyways, hackers are getting very clever, and are able to hack into our life line of information.
What do you think we can do with our security to make sure that these things don't happen in a global scale?

We need to hold Software Analyst accountable for these securty holes and give them incentives for closing any security threats.

iPhone name dispute between Apple & Cisco

There is a small dispute on the name "iPhone" between Apple & Cisco. Cisco states that their trademark name was used with out permission.

I say, this is just a marketing strategy by Cisco to gain market awareness of their iPhone products. Apple has complied with their trademark agreement and Cisco wants to blackmail Apple for their publicity. Cisco wants to make a deal on the name, because Cisco has a US trademark.

Do you think is a marketing strategy by Cisco?

Removing Header and Footer on printing ASP.NET

I was looking all over the Internet for this answer until I stumbled on a solution that gave me a quick fix to this issue.

I looking for way to remove the header and footer from the web page on printing.

The solution is with in the .NET Framework Class Library called Microsoft.Win32
After playing around with the class for about 1 hour I finally figured it out.

This code will be in C#

First you must import the Namespace using the import statement with in the page or in code behind.

using Microsoft.Win32

RegistryKey pageKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("software\\microsoft\\internet explorer\\pagesetup", true);
//set the page of pages
string newFooter = "&p of &P";
Object origKeyfooter = pageKey.GetValue("footer");
Object origKeyheader = pageKey.GetValue("header");
if (Convert.ToString(origKeyfooter) == "&p of &P" || Convert.ToString(origKeyheader) == "&p of &P")
{
//This has already been configured
this.lblMessage.Text = "Computer has been configured";
}
else
{
//this will set the keys back to original state
pageKey.SetValue("headerTemp", origKeyheader);
pageKey.SetValue("footerTemp", origKeyfooter);
pageKey.SetValue("header", newFooter);
pageKey.SetValue("footer", newFooter);
pageKey.Close();
this.lblMessage.Text = "Computer has been configured";
}
