17.Sep.2009 How to get Windows 7 FREE!
We all know that Microsoft’s Windows 7 will be released in late October but here’s how to get it free, today! Just follow this simple (sort of) directions.
How to get it
- Search for your school here
- Click View Software Centre
- Click Login and if it uses your school login system, use that. If it uses something else, click support and contact your MSDNAA administrator.
- Checkout, grab the CD Key, and either downloard the ISO or order a DVD
MSDNAA is typically only available to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Departments. Some schools also have it for Visual, Illustration, Design and Art Departments. Just about every Computer Science department should make it available to students. If your school is a part of MSDNAA but your department isn’t, and it falls under one ofthose categories, you could e-mail someone you think could help.
Some details to consider:
- To qualify, you need to be in one of those majors or taking a class in it.
- This is the full RTM version. Not the release candidate.
- Get the 64-bit version if you have a 64-bit processor (Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, i7, Athlon 64, Phenom, Phenom II). Get the 32-bit version if you don’t have one. The CD Keys for each version should be interchangeable.
- Not every school has it up on the site yet. E-mail your program administrator if it’s not up yet or just wait for it.
Important:
- They used to have the Release Candidate (Build 7100) there too. You want the RTM version (Build 7600). RTM should be Windows 7 Professional Edition. RC was Windows 7 Ultimate Edition.
- If you don’t belong to one of these faculties, you can sign up for an IEEE Membership and get access to their MSDNAA store. Membership fee is required, but it’s a lot cheaper than getting it retail obviously.Unsure if they check, but 50% of your courseload is supposed to be in the following to qualify:* Engineering;* Computer sciences and information technology;* Biological and medical sciences;* Mathematics;* Physical sciences;* Technical communications, education, management, law and policy.
16.Sep.2009 A very interesting conference
In late august I went to a conference about Steganalysis and Forgery Detection in JPEG Images by the Dr. Qingzhong Liu from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. If you would’ve asked me why I was there that day, I would have answered: “Well, first of all, the professor made me come here, and second… Hmm! forgery detection? That sounds very interesting to me!”
When everyone was presented, Dr. Liu began with the presentation showing us 2 images, and a question. He wanted to know if we were able to see the information that was supposedly within the pair. As you imagine, no one said anything, maybe it was because the 2 images were fairly small and not very detailed, or they were just shy. Then we went to the next slide, were he showed us the same two images but this time with the information that was deliberately hidden in them. At first, I was incredulous, but as the presentation went I changed my mind. He went step by step giving very detailed information about the process of hiding, and uncovering information from images. And people… I can assure you that the process of hiding information is a LOT easier than the one to uncover it.
