What I wanna change about the class...(HW #8)
If I want my teacher to add something in the CS100, it would be the explanation of anti-spyware links. There are two links of them, one is Spybot, and the other one is Ad-aware. I think my teacher do not told about their information in detail, but it was quite important to me because my PC got some spywares two times. I have not known how free Spybot and Ad-aware work against spywares in detail. My friends says that both of them does not work on an invaded PC, so they recommended me to format everything I had on my computer except the data disk D had. Although I formatted my PC, Ad-aware says that my PC has MRU lists and spybot says that my PC has Alexa. What are they?? I have still worried about my PC...
Something lives in my PC (HW #7)
Although Symantec's soft ware and free Spybot show that my PC has no virus, Ad-aware find out MLU lists and asks me if I remove it...each time I run it. What is going on? Has something been working on C drive? On the internet, I searched every word ad-aware told, but I could not find that the cause must be virus. I worry if the stranger inside my PC would a new type of virus or spyware. Even if it will so and I format C drive, the big problem is that I do not know where I got it from. I will visit the site and may get the stranger again. Hum...what should I do? Moreover, I am surprised at Symantec's soft ware and free Spybot that could never find the new stranger.
What I Wanna Learn about PC...(WH #6)
To speak honestly, I would like to make some games or programs which support my knowledge. I also want to make flash movies as my hobby. Last year, I found a funny flash movie called Backstreet Boys Are Gay. Although the title shocks whom loves BSB, the parody flash movie is so funny that I cannot stop laughing! The timing its lyric and the music appear was so perfect!! If you know BSB and one of their song 'I want it that way', you should listen to at least once(*´∀`)♪ You can check it at funnyjunk.com. The site has another funny flash movie called History of the F' Word. I cannot say anything before you listen to, sorry. Anyway, I am interested in those flash movies and I want to make something like them someday...I hope...especially, about Gundom series...for example this(a Japanese parody movie: don't click here if you don't wanna break your image to Gundom)☆
The Reverse of a Free Game Site (HW #5)
What I love to do is computer game. Recently, several free game site has appeared on the web. Its companies are mostly Korean. And my favorite free online game site is Hangame Japan which is supported by their sister company. To begin the games is free, but something is not free. Do you know abater? Maybe Yahoo! has it. It is a character like a doll. You can change its clothes by purchasing. It is fan but it sometimes could be a trouble, a fraud. Hangame Japan has its own system called Gacha; you can get a normal cloth or a rare one when you click the button. The rare one is so popular in the site and a lot of users trade their clothes by Han-coin (=web money bought by real money). According to my game friend, he swindled by another user who told him to send the Han-coin first. He sent it but the fraud never sent him a rare cloth. Even if I can enjoy playing free games at the site, a lot of fraud has been done by somebody. In addition, Hangame Japan do not touch that trouble. I have to take care of these frauds.
Problems with PC (HW #4)
I love to do net-surfing, so I often see pop up windows with yes or no question. Some of advertisements says "Free." When I clicked "yes," my PC began to download something. After that, a lot of CM windows appeared. I was surprised and erased all of them. The most terrible thing on PC is spy ware. Last month, my PC began to slow and Windows Me told me that my PC lacked system resources. At first, I do not understand what was going on. However, when I asked somebody on my Japanese blog, a gentleman taught me that the cause might be spy ware. I checked my access records to web, and some strange records were there. My PC sent something to the other, and received something. I was so shocked that I did not realize that it had occurred a month ago. I hurried to initialize my PC. After that, I downloaded Spybot and Ad-aware, and check my PC every night.
Future Computers (HW #3)
Of course, computers will be flourished in our life more than before. Not only me but also everybody will want useful tools based on computer technology. One possibility I imagine is that a house will be managed by a computer so that people in the house can know the condition: solar power, temperature, humidity, health( see “Computer Gift 2”), and so on. The people will also be able to check them by a cell phone or a PC at their office. It will be very convenient to care a house and his or her family, but the big problem is that it is easy to be peeked by a third party. Then, security system will be reinforced by a new security program. The anxiety is what I cannot imagine how it costs...
By the way, I have another fancy in the future computers. It is definitely impossible right now, but, to my interests in science fiction, I expect computers to have performance for translation of our brain signals.
Computer Gift 2 (HW #2-ii)
A few years ago, TOTO, a company which is famous for its bathrooms, introduced an epoch-making work. I would say “the Lavatory Revolution.” The new toilet can not only do urinalysis but also weigh his or herself on the toilet seat. It connects with a PC, and a person who use the toilet is able to manage his or her health. Today, you know, a patient who is tough to go to the doctor can talk with through a PC and see each face by its camera. If the patient could buy or rend the toilet, he or she could tell its condition in detail. However, it cost too much. If I had enough money to purchase it, I would give it to my grandfather who cannot walk well now.
