Cheat Sheet to convert social media sharing address

Here is how you can share social media sharing URL when we can't  use Non-alphanumeric characters.  So to include a colon (:), slash (/), ampersand (&), question mark (?), etc., we have to use (gulp) the HTML numeric code for that character. http://www.yoursite.com/yourbookpage/?detail&buy To use this inside of one of the social networking site’s URL’s, we’re going to need to change all of those non-letter characters to HTML codes. Here’s that cheat sheet I was talking about. Change the colon (:) to %3A Change all slashes (/) to %2F Change all question marks (?) to %3F Change all ampersands (&) to %26 Change all spaces ( ) to %20 When you make those substitutions, your URL will look like this: http%3A%2F% 2Fwww.yoursite.com%2Fyourbookpage%2F%3Fdetail&buy Ugly, but browsers will read them just fine. To create those social links just replace the bit that matches our dummy address above with your own. Facebook: For this link, we’re going to replace the web pag...

Create Profile Picture & Cover Photo Combo for your Facebook Timeline Page

Follow their instructions on how to crop and resize your profile picture and cover image using their template. But here are a few things to note: Make sure your profile image is clear when it’s shrunk to 32×32 pixels, since this is the size your profile image will appear at throughout your Facebook page (for example, next to any status updates you post). Your cover photo should be uploaded at a size of 851×315 pixels (which is the same size it will be displayed on your Facebook page). Your profile image should be uploaded at a size of 180×180 pixels (but it will be displayed as 160×160 pixels on your Facebook page).

How to Unlock Chess in FB Chat Box.

Although there is some standard algebraic notation like:- B for “Bishop” R for “Rook” Q for “Queen” K for “King” N for “Knight” P for “Pawn” Pawns could be moved by issuing the simple commands with numbers (along with the vertical axes). For, e.g. If your first play would take the second pawn from the left and move it up one block, you would write: ‘@fbchess Pb3,’ or simply ‘@fbchess b3.' You could refer to the help section by issuing the command "@fbchess help" for the possible commands to assist you throughout the game. It turns out that the commands are case sensitive. The board will update and notify you whether it is your turn to play. You can undo a move with "@fbchess undo" command or by ...

CVE-2015-7547 MegaBug wating to hit electronic devices

TechGlyphs Editor A highly critical vulnerability has been uncovered in the GNU C Library (glibc), a key component of most Linux distributions, that leaves nearly all Linux machines, thousands of apps and electronic devices vulnerable to hackers. GNU C Library (glibc) is a collection of open source code that powers thousands of standalone apps and most Linux distributions, including those distributed to routers and other types of hardware.The flaw can be exploited when an affected device or app make queries to a malicious DNS server that returns too much information to a lookup request and floods the program's memory with code. This code then compromises the vulnerable application or device and tries to take over the control over the whole system. It is possible to inject the domain name into server log files, which when resolved will trigger remote code execution. An SSH (Secure Shell) client connecting to a server could also be compromised. However, an attacker need to bypass sev...

Software bug in Apple's iOS operating system that could kill your iPhone, iPad or iPod Dead Permanently

Changing the date and time system in iOS ie, changing your iPhone's or any iOS device's date to January 1, 1970, will kill your iPhone forever. Do Not Try This Trick with your iOS device really This bug affects any iOS device that uses 64-bit A7, A8, A8X, A9 and A9X processors and runs iOS 8 or newer, including iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches. However, for those running on 32-bit iOS versions are not affected by this issue.This bug is related to UNIX timestamp epoch that causes the kernel to crash. The only way to get it back is to open the device's casing and physically disconnect the battery from the logic board. This could only be done with the help of Apple's Genius Bar. This process will reset the iPhone's date and allow it to boot.While there isn't any other fix at the moment, Apple is expected to come up with a software update to fix and unbrick the affected iOS devices.

Beware gravitational waves going to seep Earth in hours

"The driving force of the universe is gravity," said Tuck Stebbins, Gravitational Astrophysics Lab Chief at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center." Now we are no longer observing the universe with telescopes using ultraviolet light or visible light but we are listening to the noises produced by the effects of the gravitation of celestial bodies on the fabric of space-time, which could come from stars or black holes," she told AFP. Gravitational waves are emitted by orbiting bodies and certain other accelerated masses. Right now, major international efforts are underway to detect gravitational waves directly. Once detection is possible, the scientists hope to use gravitational waves to “listen” to some of the most violent processes in the universe: merging black holes and/or neutron stars, or the core region of supernova explosions. What do gravitational waves do? But what do gravitational waves do? For that, let us look at a simplified, entirely hypothetical situat...

Toothpaste on Headlights?

Toothpaste can clean foggy headlights on your car.Start by applying a small amount of toothpaste on a rag, and rubbing in small circular motions, until done. After only a couple quick passes the results are already noticeable. As you can see by the image on the left. you may get 2-4 months out of it, unless you apply a wax, or something like Opti-coat, clear coat, or another sealant to your headlights to block the UV rays and keep them from getting hazy again.Toothpaste is a mild abrasive, so it naturally works well to polish things, and fill small scratches. Just don't use any kind of toothpaste with cooling crystals or anything like that, as they will scratch the surface badly.
