My Favorite Two ScreenSaver

A screen saver is a type of computer program initially designed to prevent "Phosphor burn-in" on CRT and plasma computer monitors by blanking the screen or filling it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use. Today, screen savers are also used for entertainment or security purposes.

Here I want to give two of my favorite screen saver. One is from cricinfo about Bangladesh cricket team and another one is from new7wonders about 7wonders.

International Mobile Equipment Identity(IMEI Number)

The International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI is a number unique to every GSM and UMTS mobile phone as well as some satellite phones. It is usually found printed on the phone underneath the battery.

The IMEI number is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used to stop a stolen phone from accessing the network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call his or her network provider and instruct them to "ban" the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless, regardless of whether the phone's SIM is changed.

The International Mobile Equipment Identity - a unique 15-digit code used to identify an individual GSM mobile telephone to a mobile network. It can be displayed on most phones by dialling *#06#. It is also usually printed on the compliance plate under the battery.

Prior to April 1st 2004 the numerical format of the code was:
111111-22-333333-4

TAC
FAC
SNR
CD
D14
D13
D12
D11
D10
D09
D08
D07
D06
D05
D04
D03
D02
D01

  • TAC: Type Approval Code
  • FAC: Final Assembly Code
  • SNR: Serial Number
  • CD: Check Digit

The first six digits are the TAC (Type Approval Code), which identifies the country where type approval was sought for the phone, as well as the approval number. NOTE: since the 1st April 2004 the TAC will be the abbreviation for Type Allocation Code.

The FAC (Final Assembly Code) identifies the company that produced the mobile phone (eg: SonyEricsson or Nokia). NOTE: From 1st January 2003 a new code allocation procedure has been in place. The changes relate to the format - the Final Assembly Code (FAC) is obsolete and is set to 00 for the period from 1st January 2003 until 1st April 2004. The FAC is now obsolete, and the TAC is now eight instead of six digits, as follows: 11111111-222222-3

TAC
SNR
CD
D14
D13
D12
D11
D10
D09
D08
D07
D06
D05
D04
D03
D02
D01

The 6 digit SNR (Serial Number) has been uniquely assigned to the specific type of handset. The CD (Check Digit) is used to check the code for its validity for Phase 2 and Phase 2+ handsets. Phase 1 GSM handsets, however, always have zero ("0") as check digit.

IMEISV (International Mobile Equipment Identity and Software Version number) is also sometimes used. It offers the possibility of adding the handset's original software version number. It adds a two digit SVN (Software Version Number) at the end of the code, so the numerical format is:
111111-22-333333-4-55, which changed to 11111111-222222-3-44 on 1st April 2004.

Just Install Ubuntu




I have ordered Ubuntu 8.04 last month and yesterday I got it. I have installed it in my desktop. I am satisfied with the facilities and graphics provided by Ubuntu. Fast and efficient. Good looking face. And many more...

Thanks Ubuntu. Ooh, Ubuntu is not shipped with audio and video support for windows file format. So I have downloaded VLC player to listen my favorite music as well as seeing videos.

Why Bangladesh is not at the Paypal country list

Some days ago I want to open a PayPal account. At the beginning they give a chart of countries from where you select your country to open an account. It is the most devastating that Bangladesh is not at the country list. By the way, after seeing this I made a contact with PayPal about their police and why not they provide service in Bangladesh. They give a message saying that it is not possible now to provide service in Bangladesh. But my question is why not possible in Bangladesh?

The problem is not at PayPal, the problem is in the polices of the Bangladesh government. They think that, if they allow PayPal or other online money transfer companies to provide their services than money will be transferred from Bangladesh to other countries. How nonsense thinking it is. But they don't think about the people who want to send money at online but they can't take the advantages of online payment. Please change the polices and take proper steps to solve the problem.

Many banks in Bangladesh offer online banking. But by online banking what they want to mean? Banking inside a country. Look the present world in now very small in that sense that we can contact with anyone round the clock. But why not at online Banking.

I want to make a movie

Some days ago I had been talking with one of my friends to make a big budget movie in my country(which is not possible). The basic theme of the movie is - New World. That is something like Big Bang which will be happened and all the human along with all other existence of the earth will be destroyed. But the hero of our movie manage to life(something miracle!).

Now the mission starts. The mission of dreaming a new world. Where all the countries are equal at all sides and there will be only peace, no blood or weapons in the earth. How our hero will do this?

Basically our hero is a scientist and he has studied in Humanoid Robot system. His mission is to collect some of the Human brain and digitally manage them to prepare the next generation robot - BisRots. The whole world is now his research place. And at last he has been successful to make this kind of robot. This robots will help him to make the new world.

The world where no cry for food, The world where no weapons are thrown, The world where no economic crisis. So in one word - A STANDARD WORLD.

It's my dream....

Journey 59

Now I am telling you a story JOURNEY 59. Can you guess what will be contained in this story? Traditionally this journey does not cover much of the lands or rivers. This journey covers only some miles of distance. But the question obviously comes so why this journey takes 59 days. This journey are nothing but my second year final exam in my university. Almost two months I have been packed for this naughty exam. I have to appear twelve(12) papers for the year final exam. And it is one of my most boring period of life to stay so long time with a single topic. Now I am free from my theory exams. That is I have completed my all theory exams by 20th July.

But there are also three exam remaining. One course viva and two projects. So pressures are not fully eliminated. But something can be say that I am free from the Journey 59.

Internet providers in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a growing economic country. It is now well known that for the economic development of a country technology plays a vital role. All of us know that internet is the ware house of knowledge. Now internet is also a great source of income. Data entry, call center etc. are some sectors which can play a big contribution at the country's economy. But for all of this we need stable internet connection and good internet providers in our country. Most of the providers give a very narrow bandwidth to the consumer and take huge money at every month. For the improve economy we have to do make proper plans and should try our best to achieve it.

The government should pay proper attention on this matter immediately if Bangladesh wants to keep pace with other neighboring countries like India. At India the ISP(Internet Service Provider) gives much more better service than Bnagladesh.

One of our professor says at class that - in Bangladesh we have to pay ten times than India as compared with the facilities provided by the providers.

We the end users want good response from government for establishing an action plan for internet providing.

Look the list of the isp in Bangladesh at the link.
