Some Truly Amazing Facts and Statistics About the Universe We Live In

In case you did not know a light year is roughly a distance of six trillion miles. If you ask me 93 billion of anything that is 6 trillion miles long is a seriously long whatever it is.

Solarspace.co.uk states that if you had a large enough swimming pool to place Saturn into it would float. That's right Saturn, one of the biggest planets, has such a light density it would stay afloat; however, you are talking about one huge swimming pool.

The Science and Technology Facilities Coucil tells us if two pieces of metal touch each other in space them become permanently fused together, this process called cold welding comes from list verse. Space is a vacuum and this explains why all the material and tools we see in space are coated with a material to prevent this from happening. Imagine your hammer being instantly and permanently fused to a nail, talk about inconvenient.

The great folks at SciTech let us know that any free moving liquid in space will form itself into a sphere. They go on to explain that this is due to the surface tension of liquids. Imagine spilling a cup of water and watching it form into a ball!

Again the folks at SciTech inform us that, Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. Imagine being different from everyone else in the world in a unique way, Venus rotating backwards is about the best way to distinguish itself from all the other planets in our Solar System.

What is VOIP and how does it work



What is VOIP and how does it work?

Voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP, ) is a protocol optimized for the transmission of voice through the Internet or other packet-switched networks .

VoIP systems employ session control protocols to control the set-up and tear-down of calls as well as audio codecs which encode speech allowing transmission over an IP network as digital audio via an audio stream. Codec use is varied between different implementations of VoIP (and often a range of codecs are used); some implementations rely on narrowband and compressed speech, while others support high fidelity stereo
codecs.





How VOIP works?

VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that can travel over the Internet. If you are calling a regular telephone number, the signal is then converted back at the other end. Depending on the type of VoIP service, you can make a VoIP call from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a traditional phone. Wireless "hot spots" in public locations such as airports, parks, and cafes allow you to connect to the
Internet, and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly. If your VoIP service provider assigns you a regular telephone number, then you can receive calls from regular telephones that don't need special equipment.

Advantages of Using VoIP
  •  90% Cost Saving (cheap call rates)
  • Great voice quality
  •  3 way Call forwarding
  • Caller ID spoofing
  •  Unlimited calling
  • Web calling
  •  Free phone call services
  • Free Call Forwarding

Windows Unsolved Mysteries

Windows Unsolved Mysteries
 Hi users, today we will share a few cool and mysterious things. Hope you all like this article . Here are some of the unsolved mysterious things  involving the worlds most used OS "Windows" .One day i got a mail stating that......
Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as “CON”.This is something pretty cool…and unbelievable… At Microsoft the whole Team, including  Bill  Gates, couldn’t answer why this happened!
This is not the first time I listen about this funny question that "why we can't create a folder with name 'CON' , and I’m sure most of  you also try to make folder "CON" just now after reading the title of article  ! if no,then go and 1st try it .... If you try creating a folder named CON, as the mail claims, it’ll get renamed automatically to New Folder. But there is no mystery behind this, and the team at Microsoft very well knows the reason for this. :-)

Why is it not possible to create a folder named CON ?

Before we proceed further, let us tell you a small secret you can’t even create a folder named PRN, AUX, NUL and many others.

The reason you can’t create a folder with these names is because these are reserved keywords used by DOS. The below screen-shot taken from Microsoft’s website shows a list of reserved keywords in DOS.



If you try creating a folder with any of these names, the name automatically changes back to the default “New Folder”. And this is what has caused the confusion. Instead of automatically renaming the folder, had an explanatory warning message popped up.
 

Here are  Some of the Other Mysteries

1.Go to notepad and type Bush hid the facts. After which, save your work anywhere
   with any name and close  notepad. Then re-open notepad and open your previously
   saved file and look what appears.

2.Open Microsoft Word then type: =rand (200, 99) and press ENTER. By now
  I bet you’re seeing something strange that not even Bill Gates and his team can explain.



                               Bush trying these things… haha


 Are these things telling us something, or are they just bugs of the old tycoon named Windows?

Enjoy.......
