How to Quickly Go to the End of Your Document!
Whenever Im in the middle of a project, it drives me bonkers when it opens up to the first page. Okay... maybe it doesnt drive me bonkers, but it does make it a little frustrated to have to scroll all the way down, particularly in a long document!
If this happens to you as well, youll love this tip for PowerPoint/Word!

Opticom reviews Ubuntu 10 4 lts Kenya lets go Open Source Review1
by Kibui Kenneth Maina. May,13 2010 11:22am
If you are looking for a challenging good looking operating system that is virus free maybe then you should be considering Ubuntu 10.4 lts. download here.
You do not have to format your hard drive that is if you have enough space you can easily install it as a second OS and just choose between the two at startup. Installation is so easy even novice computer users would have little if any problem setting it up. I have two operating systems running on my machine currently; the native Vista that came with the machine and Ubuntu.
HOWEVER BEFORE YOU JUMP TO INSTALLATION: And I have to say this is where I have an axe to grind with Ubuntu, you will need a working Internet connection (You can not download programs or updates from a machine with a working Internet connection then transfer them to one without easily; if at all you will be successful. The Ubuntu team needs to take into account users with little and no programming or computing knowledge and make this process easier). When finalizing installation Ubuntu downloads some files from repositories, if you dont have an Internet connection you will experience small problems after the installation terminates such missing updates and drivers e.g sound and graphics you can however install them later after completing the O/S installation to reduce O/S installation time.
After installation you will also need a working Internet connection to allow you to play most of your media files, here you can choose to download and install codecs for already resident applications or you can download the many available applications for Ubuntu such as VLC (I recommend VLC media player since it plays almost all media types)
HOW TO INSTALL VLC (go to)
1. Applications>Accessories>Terminal.
2.Type: sudo apt-get update
3.If you created a login password during Operating System O/S setup you will be asked for this password, type it and press enter.
4.Wait for the system to finish updating
5. Type: sudo apt-get install vlc
6.Press enter and wait for it to finish
After O/S installation I recommend updating the system for security patches. Go to system>Administration>Update Manager.
All in all the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, this is a good Operating System and Kenya should embrace it with both arms since it will help improve our ICT uptake by removing the expensive software barriers that are hindering ICT uptake.
Kenyan It professionals should also start developing on and learning the Ubuntu Operating Systems (Workstation and Server editions) who knows maybe we have been sitting on a golden metallic egg waiting for it to hatch and complaining of how poor we are instead of pawning the egg and building great investments and job opportunities.

Going Beyond Go Ahead And Ahead

So, why bother? whats the point of learning how to make batch file viruses? Their practical potential is next to nothing, they are easy to find, easy to delete and spreading them is out of the question.
Its a start.
That is pretty much the only reason that batch file viruses are important. They are taught all over the world in various hacking courses for good reason. Every hacking forum, every comment section below a hacking video or a blog is filled with people looking for a way into the vast hacking universe. This is it. The more "out of the box" a virus or a malicious tool is, the harder it is to pin down and identify. But to get to the more complex stuff, one needs to master the basics first. Even though something like the innocent little batch file viruses dont have that "oomph", they pave the way for greater things. You probably cant take out every computer on the internet with batch files, but you will be able format an unprotected computer, you will be able to shutdown a computer every time on startup etc. This may not be enough "reward" for most people to put in the effort, but without a foundation you cant hope to soar high. Rome wasnt built in a day and so is the case with anyones hacking skills. Everyone has to start somewhere and theres no better place than batch file programming.
As an added bonus, batch file programming is ridiculously easy. Barring the likes of HTML and SQL you will never see another sentence with "programming" and "ridiculously easy" in it. (For more on this, see "Programming -I, II" in "In too deep").
Learning how to make batch files gives you a glimpse of the much more complex world of advanced programming as well as how basic viruses are made and how they work. Lastly, no security system is completely foolproof. Unseen things can and do go wrong, which is what hacking is all about and who knows perhaps you will be the one to find the next big loophole.
Although this website will always be getting updated with more and more batch file virus tutorials (and more), below are a couple more sources if youd like to "go beyond" and learn more on yourself:
Below is a link for a small book on "Batch file programming", in PDF format. At approximately 150 pages, it covers up pretty much everything you will ever need when creating batch files or working with DOS.

Also, heres an excellent but not so well known website with great quality and quantity of information on batch files:
