tech tuesday-game
if you haven't been to a lan party you're missing out. for those who love to game... lan party is the best the way to have fun. it's all legal and have nothing to worry about but having fun. so those of you who like to play pc games.... GO! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
How are you doing?
We had today a good word from Joe about the give back program here at streettech. Its funny, I talked about the give back program and rather vehemently to the class. Most people figure Oh Gerald he doesn't do any volunteer work. He only wants to get paid for doing computers. Not true at all. Because of streettech I was able to learn that even if I was unemployed it did not mean that I was not able to give something worthy to others.
I learned to Give Back and by doing so, spread the message to many others of my friends and acquaintances, who might never have even thought about giving back to their community.
Its funny about ideas. The tend to take on a life of their own when properly nurtured. The idea of give back is not practiced much here in the 21st century. All we have to do is to take a look around at the world around us to know that to be true.
Now even after completing the class I still find myself giving back to my community and spreading the message to those around me like an "Idea Virus". Infecting everyone with whom I come in contact. The Idea that it is OK to do something for someone outside of ones own self.
Happy Tuesday to you all

P.S.: You Owe Too (so give the Idea Virus a chance to spread)

The Word of the day
One of the things that I like to do everyday is ask people, "Hey, whats the word of the day?" Most of the time I get some answer like "uh I don't know." Usually that is the answer if the person is uninformed about the world according to Gerald. Now when people dont know the answer to the question, I send them to this website http://education.yahoo.com/college/wotd/ Today was no exception of course. I ran into someone this afternoon who didn't know the word of the day. so here it is Enrich your vocabulary with Yahoo! Education's Word of the Day
plausible
DEFINITION:
(adjective) apparently believable
EXAMPLE:
The idea that a widespread conspiracy to kill President Kennedy has been kept secret for over thirty years hardly seems plausible.
SYNONYMS:
conceivable, credible, reasonable
DICTIONARY:
American Heritage® Dictionary
THESAURUS:
Roget's II Thesaurus
I personally find the whold idea plausible but hey thats just my opinion.
Remember people judge you by the words you use so build a strong vocabulary

Firefox, Mozilla Bug Exposes Data
Both Firefox and the Mozilla browser suite are vulnerable to attacks through flawed JavaScript engines, a security firm reported Monday.
The Mozilla Foundation's open-source browsers can be exploited by hackers to gain access to data currently in memory (but not information only stored on the hard drive), said the Danish security company Secunia.
Accordind to Mozilla, use of a JavaScript "lambda" replace can expose arbitrary amounts of heap memory after the end of a JavaScript string. Successful exploitation may disclose sensitive information in memory."said Secunia in its online alert.
The bug has been confirmed in the most recent versions of Firefox (1.0.2)and Mozilla (1.7.6), and at the moment,no patch is available. (Developers are working on one, however, to track what they're up to, check out this page on Bugzilla.)
Secunia recommends that users temporarily disable JavaScript support for what it considers a "moderatey critical" bug. By: Henry Hopkins,Jr.

This is the Beginning of a beautiful friendship
Well here it is folks...
The first ever StreetTech blog. This blog will include excerpts from the Street Tech A+ Certification class ( affectionately known as Generation 10). We will be helping others to cross the Digital Divide with us so come join us here at the Street Tech family.
We just spent today Tuesday April the 5th talking about tech Tuesday. You can find out information about the latest in technology, also about things that are just making headlines for the day. We had patricia give us info about something called Kehole software available from http://www.google.com that will allow you to look at the satillite images of an entire block. We also talked about the privacy issues that come with it.
We had Ronald and Ed talk about the latest in Cellphone Viruses and Web enabled phone viruses. NVIDIA has a new processor to compete with the Intel boys and AMD guys. and we heard from Aubrey about that one. Big San talked to the subject of the new Velocity Micro High End Gamers. They are talking about 4.0 Gig speeds. Finally Henry gave us the age old debate of Microsoft VS. Linux and the total cost of ownership. In the end the battle still rages on even years after the original lines were drawn. Thats all from me. I'm Gerald Bryant and this is the StreetTech Divide.
