Searching Google for RapidShare Links

In Google search form, key in the following:

site:rapidshare.com filetype:zip OR rar

This searches the site rapidshare.com for any file that is in zip or rar format. To do some advanced searching, do the following:

hacking site:rapidshare.com filetype:zip OR rar datarange:2454606-2454614

Above is the similar search but it specifically searches for “hacking” with the same search criteria, and with the date range added.

Keep these 3 criteria in mind:

1. site: your site of choice to search

2. filetype: filetypes you wanna search

3. daterange: (startdate-enddate) The date the file has been indexed. From the above example, it is from 20th May 08 to 28th May 08.

Get Back the Command I Typed A While Ago

Always we need to keep on repeating the same commands again and again. In Linux, there is a program that records each command that we type into a terminal called history. However it is understood that by typing ‘history’ over and over again each time we would like to search for the previous commands are time consuming. To get around with this, the terminal allow us to use UP arrow to get back those commands. But again, it would be taking a long time to keep searching until we are able to locate the command IF it is being typed long while ago. There are always better way, which is using CTRL+R at and empty command prompt. It should looks like this:

(reverse-i-search)`’:

By providing just partially of a previous command that we are looking for, we will find the most recent command that matches the characters AS we type them.

The other cool way is using grep command. It is relatively simple and should look something like this:

host@machine [504]$ history | grep jetty
471 jetty-dump-servlet-xss 192.168.1.10
472 less /opt/scripts/jetty-dump-servlet-xss/1/0.t
504 history | grep jetty

欧洲之王！

看看你，看看你。。。
成何体统？
都二十几岁的人了，
还蹦蹦跳跳，
而且一跳就给我跳个几分钟。

什么事那么值得兴奋啊？
看你都快合不拢嘴了！

什么？什么？
好久都没那么开心了？

也不必那么手舞足蹈地胡乱跳跃吧？

不过想想也对，
看看人家鲍比查尔顿爵士，
都七十几岁的人了，
竟都哭红满面。
想必也是开心满足干的好事吧？！

不
我想此夜站在欧洲最高荣誉领奖台上的他，
心中是在想念五十年前在慕尼黑落难的伙伴。

快乐常常以不同的方式出现，
时而跳跃，
时而哭泣！

Outrageous Inflation Rate in Zimbabwe

It is the fourth set of new banknotes to be issued by the Central Bank of Zimbabwe in 2008, and this time it is Z$500m note.

At the independence back in 1980, 1 Zimbabwe Dollar was worth more than USD1. And now, only after less than 30 years, you need to have Z$250m, then only you are able to exchange for USD1.

According to the studies, annual inflation rate in Zimbabwe is hitting 165,000% and it is being said that the prices are now double every single week.

The economy in the country is anchoring bottom in the past few years, with supplies of the likes of foodstuffs, cooking oil and petrol all running extremely low. It is believed only 1 out of 5 adults in the country are employed, with more than 3 million people have left the troubled hitting country for a better living in South Africa.

Imagine this, what if the piles of the banknote that you are holding now devalued devastatingly in the near future due to inflation, and the 1,000,000 USD saving that you have painfully saved over the past few years are only allowing you to purchase a sweet? Scary thought really.

Saving is good, but play while you can.
