Hello friends, it's really been a while... In this little post of mine I want to tell you a little secret about programming, but before I do, I'd like to highlight that popular saying that says "Nothing good comes easily". Yeah, it's true my friends --- nothing good truely comes easily. Today am talking about the c/c++ programming language. The fact is that the programmers who programs in this language are the real programmers. Why am I saying this? 7 years ago (from the time of this writing), I took interest in computer programming, the first language I looked at was c++. I learnt it but I wasn't enjoying the language because all I was doing was console apps which almost no one uses these days. I was desperate of making a program people can use. Building a UI with win32 as at that time to me was hell, so I thought of learning a new language, since my aim was to program for Microsoft Windows, my best option was to learn c#. With my C++ kno...

Hacker Samy Kamkar has created a $ 32 gadget that lets him unlock almost any car and trick garage door openers into granting access. Like he did with the USBDriveby tool he whipped up to hack Macs, Kamkar based his new hijacking device on the Arduino Nano. It's an elegantly simple design, and the way it pilfers unlock codes is, too. For years now, vehicle manufacturers have been using single-use codes on their remote locks. Press the button on your fob and if the doors unlock, that code will never work again. Rolljam performs a man-in-the-middle attack, jamming the vehicle's receiver and snatching a code before it can be used. The vehicle doesn't unlock, but most remote lock users will simply try again. Rolljam already has the one good code it needs, so it relays the second one and the locks open as usual. The stolen code can be used whenever a thief decides it's time to cash out. Kamkar says virtually any vehicle with remote power locks is s...

 This has been a very strong debate among computer users, while the geek guys argues that Linux is the future of computing, those who are not so much technical savvy say the Windows is and this has left some people in an infinite loop, trying to figure out which is better for them. Windows is a very popular operating system and it is user friendly. In fact in my country (Nigeria), when you talk about Desktop computers, you are referring to Windows operating systems. Yeah, that’s how popular the Windows operating system is. But Linux seems to be more preferable by geeks who have tested both worlds. Ask for reason, you will get answers like: ·          Linux is stable ·          Linux is free ·          Linux   is open source ·          Linux is not very sensitive to virus ·      ...
