We are not in the position to say Yes somali women support their men or not.... cuz there are special cases, Every person have his/her own thoughts and background .... But generally speaking YES We support them .. our mothers did that and we will also, cuz we become one person, one family so I have to support my family encourage him.... There must be a full Partnership in life's duties.... PEACE...

Bariis.... Money or Health?

LOOL Mujahid..... Looks there is no girls over there in Tora Bora ..... Now let me ask the starter of this thread to put his/her List PEACE...

Salam bro.... Event 41 that I know is with the following Syntax: Event Type: Error Event Source: WinMgmt Event Category: None Event ID: 41 Description: ADAP was unable to process the file name performance library due to a time violation in the collect function But generally the cause of those Events to occur is because either there may be a problem in the counter, or there may be a false-positive return value in the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Performance Library dredger. If there is a false-positive return value in the WMI Performance Library dredger, in certain situations, the dredger may incorrectly determine that a library is invalid even though the counter works correctly. PEACE ...

LoL.... Guess u guys inspire us on that ... Somali men talk too much (mostly in makhayadaha) so we adapted that nature from our somali brothers...

Nice usefull topic Haniif WellDone.... I didnot encrypt any mail, but I read about this topic once (I was so evil to try to hack my teacher's email) ..... so With Windows you have two main choices for signing and encrypting email with the standard mailers (Netscape, Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.). The first is an X.509 digital certificate, and the second is PGP (or GnuPG in the future) and there is a web based encrypted email service available. X.509 digital certificates are extremely easy to use, and most mail clients have built in support, so there is no need to get a software package such as PGP and install it at both ends.You can easily generate an X.509 certificate, take the file and load it into a client machine (typically the mail program or www program can make use of it). This however makes the assumption that only one person will be using the workstation, and that the machine cannot be misused by others. This is really only useful on a home PC (that is secure), or if you lock your office door and never let anyone in and have a secured PC. In a business environment the certificates could be useful as identification of the machine (but not as identification of the user), in Internet Explorer for example you can mark the private key non-exportable, meaning to copy the certificate off the client workstation and put it on another will slow down most attackers. In other words digital certificates loaded onto client machines are useless, in fact they can be worse then useless because they are usually not protected sufficiently (i.e. with a passphrase) so an attacker can steal the certificate and impersonate the user. The better solution is to store the X.509 certificate on a smartcard, this allows a much more secure method of generating and storing certificates, as well as being far more portable. The main problem currently with smartcards is the lack of smartcard readers on computers. and about (PGP) Pretty Good Privacy was one of the original programs that made email encryption possible, however it was difficult to use, had to be installed by the user (unlike email clients shipping with X.509 support), and was generally a pain to use. This has changed in recent years, with the current version of PGP at 6.5.2, integrating it with most mailers (Outlook, Netscape and Eudora notably) is a painless task, even for novice users. Once you have downloaded the software simply double click on it to install, you will be lead through a rather normal Windows software install, however when you get to the components choice box you should uncheck anything you do not plan to use, especially support for mailers you do not have since PGP will be unable to find them, and the install will complain. Also if you do not need the VPN client, do no install it, it has a tendency to cause networking issues. The install will prompt you to either import an existing keyring (which if you are new to PGP you will not have), or create a new set of keys. I would advise using a 1024 or 2048 bit keylength for "daily" use, 4096 bit keys are slow to use and realistically if an attacker can factor a 2048 bit key in a reasonable amount of time they have probably found some flaw in PGP. You should send your keys to the keyserver when prompted to do so, as it will make it possible for other people to get your keys without having to go to you (so for example if I receive email from you, and I see it is PGP signed, I can retrieve your key from a keyserver and verify the signature, and in turn encrypt my reply to you). If you want to find someone else's key either right click on the PGP tray icon and choose "PGPKeys" or go to the Windows Start menu and select "PGPKeys". Once in PGPKeys you select "Server", "Search", select a keyserver (ldap://certserver.pgp.com is a default so many people use it), and enter the email address you are searching for, it should be in the User ID of their key (since email addresses area relatively unique identifier). You will be present with a list of keys matching your criteria, simply right click on the key you wish to have, and choose "Import", and that is it. When you use this key to verify digitally signed email from the person the mail software will complain about it being an untrusted key, by default foreign keys are untrusted unless they are signed by someone you trust (such as a friend, or yourself). To get rid of this (i.e. I and my boss exchange a lot of encrypted email), sign their key with a non exportable signature, in "PGPKeys" simple right click on the key, choose "Sign", do NOT check the box saying "Allow signature to be exported. Others may rely upon your signature", and then choose the key to sign it with, and enter your password. You should never sign a key with an exportable signature unless you have met face to face with the person, proven your ID to each other, and then signed your keys. When signing and decrypting email you will be prompted for your password, which can be annoying, PGP can cache the password, however be careful. If you enter your password and then leave your email client running and leave the computer unattended someone could use it and send email from you that is digitally signed (thus impersonating you). If you turn on the password saving feature you should be careful to always shutdown your mail client when you leave the computer unattended. To set the cache time simply go to the PGP settings (in Outlook it is "Tools", "PGP", "Options", then the "General" tab), and simply set the cache time to an appropriate length. If you want to be safe do not cache the signing passphrase, this way you can read email encrypted with your private key and not have to enter the password for your private key constantly, but you will be prompted for your password when you try to send signed email. Finally Hushmail is a new contender in the web based email wars. It however offers something that none of the other web based email sites offer, and that is signed and encrypted email to other Hushmail users. Hushmail uses a java applet that is downloaded to your PC with your keypair, when you send and receive email within Hushmail it is signed and encrypted, providing for a high degree of security despite it's web based nature. PEACE

Lulla ... PLZ don't forget to put me in a nice place on ur List my dear...I would really love meeting Somaliaonline people..and since everyone here is invited and the number is growing...My dear I guess that you have to pay alot.. as we say ( Khaznadaha so harati waxon ba kaso dhecy dona ) ...... LOL PAECE...

I agree with sis lulla ... Our somali brothers deserve all respect especially in this forum...... I wonder what made lulla change her mind?!! share it with us sis.... PEACE...

Funny topic Shaqsii.... Well I agree with Ameenah list (do u work as a social worker sis? ).....and about MCC and San Yar..they are already the perfect couple...

Any one can register the course and attend it... but for the Exams I doubt that u can register with another name and achieve the exam..cuz at AVU centers u have to show ur identity card and ur passport which will show from where u came from ... so that is how they ganna restrict those people from taking those certificates. By the way I guess somalia was in that list but they exclude it in the last minute ...I WONDER WHY!!! PEACE...

Salam All, I liked to share this article that i read in a local newspaper with ya.... U.S. restricts IT certificates Dubai |By Bassam Za'za' | 10-06-2002 Nationals from countries accused by the U.S. of supporting terrorism are barred from the Microsoft Certified System Engineering programme. The American Administration has ordered all its American Information Technology (IT) companies and institutions worldwide not to award the MCSE certificates to nationals of seven countries that were described as supporters of terrorism. According to the Netherlands-based Prometric Testing Centre (PTC), a leading worldwide provider of comprehensive technology-based testing and assessment services in IT, the American government has barred Syrian, Libyan, Iraqi, Iranian, Sudanese North Korean and Cuban citizens from obtaining MCSE certificates. Nevertheless, they are permitted to receive the MCSE training courses. In addition to Prometric's security policies, the Authorised Prometric Testing Centres (APTC) all over the world were restricted from administrating exams to candidates who either live in or have an address in one of the embargoed countries. The following statement was issued to all Prometric Test Centre Administrators (TCA) and signed by the Prometric Channel Management: "Attention to all APTC Channel Partners; in today's environment of heightened security, Prometric appreciates your continued focus on our test centre security policies and procedures. The following quote taken from a recent Prometric communication, highlights the importance of test centre security: 'The integrity of the testing process is of paramount importance to Prometric and we are committed to working with our partners to maintain the highest level of security standards and business ethics. "We will not tolerate criminal activity of any kind and we will seek to prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law,' said Michael Brannick the President of Prometric and Chief Executive Officer." The statement continued: "All our testing clients echo Prometric's concern regarding the integrity of exam content, candidate identity and a secure testing environment. "With this in mind, Prometric would like to re-emphasize a few basic security procedures. For a complete description of all your APTC Operating Agreement and the APTC Global Policies and Procedures Manual available for download at the website: www.prometric.com/aptc. "Moreover, the important security policies were: first, all Prometric TCA are required to pass a TCA exam, our policies prohibit TCAs from holding IT certification. "Second, TCAs must follow proper candidate check-in procedures that include verification of proper candidate identification, candidate signing of lock book and completion of the Testing Centre Regulation form that is available on the website. "Third, candidates are only permitted to bring white boards or blank scratch paper into the secure testing area. These items must be collected from the candidate at the end of the exam and either erased or destroyed. This prevents candidates from leaving the testing centre with exam content. "Fourth, the TCAs are responsible for active proctoring of candidates by observing test-taking activities at all times which may include audio-visual monitoring and recording. "Fifth, and in addition to Prometric's security policies, it is also necessary to comply with restrictions placed on Prometric by the U.S. embargo. "These restrictions prevent APTCs from administering exams to candidates who either live in or have address from an embargoed country. Current embargoed countries are: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria." The statement finally requested: "If you have any question after reviewing the APTC Operating Agreement and the Global Policies and Procedures Manual please contact your Channel Representative. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping to maintain a secure testing network." One of the Prometric officials at the main office in the Netherlands, assured that the decision was taken by the American government and the PTC and Microsoft had nothing to do with it. The decision has created problems to the licensed educational centres and institutions in the UAE that cooperate with other American academic institutions. Thus, a large number of students from the seven nationalities had joined these centres before this decision was announced. Sami Malik, Test Administrator in Software Technology Group Middle East Institution - APTC, told Gulf News: "We heard some rumours saying that the main reason behind that decision was because those seven countries weren't paying the testing fees to the United States." He added: "We are sorry for our students who registered for the courses and the testing. No body in the UAE will be taking it. The business will be affected because there are candidates who register from those nationalities and who don't meet the new requirements. "Logically speaking, we can't do anything regarding the new decision. That's a new rule and we are only clients for these online exams of the MCSE so we can't violate the rule." Malik proceeded to express his own view: "The decision is unfair because many students are earning their living through such certificates. They have been limited from upgrading their technological skills and experience. May be the decision was political especially since lots of changes have occurred all over the world since the September 11 crisis." Suresh Puravamkra, Promteric Administrator for the Aptech Computer Educational Centre in Dubai – APTC, remarked: "Actually, the countries that are highly affected are those under which the United Nations sanctions are imposed. In the UAE, the registration system doesn't allow us to register candidates who aren't residing in the country. "I think that the decision is political and that's something bad. Such a decision blocks candidates from the right to education." Gulf News contacted the National Institute of Information Technology - APTC, but officials refused to comment on the decision. Shafeela Anwar, Project Coordinator at the Galaxy Computer Education and Training Institute, said: "I don't know why such a decision has been taken. It might be a political reason. "The decision isn't going to affect the APTC business in the UAE directly unless people didn't meet the new requirements and weren't residing in the country. We were informed about the decision through a letter from the PTC." Neetiraj Singh, Manager of the Galaxy in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, said : "Education should be treated as education. Definitely the decision will affect the IT industry especially that we are living the age of technology." Syed Omair Ali, a Partner Coordinator at Microsoft, told Gulf News: "I strongly disagree with such a decision. It is an unreasonable one."

Salam All, I guess one of the meanings of the word Tech. is the revolution of science... so Math, Biology, etc... are included cuz they are branches of science, but people usually use this word to refer to computers..... Guys this is our site, this means that if you have any useful piece of information this is the right place to share it regardless of it's subject. Thanks All for your positive participation... PEACE...

Car Accident 1 It seems 3 guys were travelling in a car together, an industrial quality control expert, a hardware engineer, and a software engineer. As they were going down a VERY steep hill, they realized the brakes were out and they faced certain death. The QC expert said,"no problem, we'll put together a work group, study the problem, make a fishbone diagram and come up with suggestions about how to solve this problem." The hardware engr said, "That'll take too much time, we'll DIE!! I think I can dismantle the ignition system, find out the problem and cross wire the brake system so we can stop the car." The software engr just said, "What's the big deal? Instead of getting upset, why don't we just push the car back up the hill and see if if happens again?" *************************** Car Accident 2 A Software Engineer, a Hardware Engineer and a Departmental Manager were on their way to a meeting in Switzerland. They were driving down a steep mountain road when suddenly the brakes on their car failed. The car careened almost out of control down the road, bouncing off the crash barriers, until it miraculously ground to a halt scraping along the mountainside. The car's occupants, shaken but unhurt, now had a problem: they were stuck halfway down a mountain in a car with no brakes. What were they to do? "I know", said the Departmental Manager, "Let's have a meeting, propose a Vision, formulate a Mission Statement, define some Goals, and by a process of Continuous Improvement find a solution to the Critical Problems, and we can be on our way." "No, no", said the Hardware Engineer, "That will take far too long, and besides, that method has never worked before. I've got my Swiss Army knife with me, and in no time at all I can strip down the car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it, and we can be on our way." ******************************************************************** Job Interview Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefit's package." The HR Person said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?" The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow!!! Are you kidding?" And the HR Person said, "Of course, ...but you started it."

Salam dear Nomads... How about we all share our experience and tell each others which certificates are good and wanted nowadays? Is it MCSE 2000, CCNA, CCNP, CIW (Desginer, Administrator, ect...) , Java, OCP (Developer, Database Administrator, Designer, ect...), MCSA, MCDBA, MCSD, A+, ect.....
