Can a virus attacks via orkut

Guys, r u (orkut users) also getting sick of recieving mails that says "...don't add this particular id to ur frnd list ... it is a VIRUS..." or something like this. 

Then there is a good news for u all. 
Orkut is quite a safe place. 
And there is no way to introduce virus via anybody's profile.

How this Virus Myth came into existence?

Generally, when two guys involve in a feud, then atleast one of them definitely tries to hurt the other one by one or the other way. And guess what's that way? U r right. They broadcast messages like this in their bulletin board. And in orkut they send these types of messages to all of their friends. Sometimes this is not good enough to relief their feudal tension. So they attach a Keyword that is considered like terrorist of the Virtual World ... VIRUS or WORM. And attach a sentence to forward this msg to ur good ones.

Can a virus attacks via orkut?

NO, i.e., a big No. There is no way through which virus can be uploaded in an orkut profile. As there is only attachment service provided is for image and that also support only .jpg, .gif & .png formats with a maximum size limit of 500KB. That also checks if the uploaded file is really an image or any virus is mimicking the image formats. That way u r completely safe. Even now if u r afraid of virus then just do not download any image.

So now u know the reason ... don't be afraid of adding anybody.

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft

App: Calculate your job experience or age in years

Usually, all of those who works have to put years of experience on their resume or curriculum vitae. But 90% people put it wrong when they convert their experience in years only. Although they know the exact number of months and years but the conversion, they do is wrong. This happens because there are 12 months while the digit after decimal would be 0-9, i.e., 10 digits. Which means that we have to represent the number of months in terms of year. So here I have provided a small gadget to calculate it. Just put the date when you had started working in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. You can also calculate your age as well with this tool by putting your date of birth in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. As an alternative, you can use the hassle-free and simple to use  Date Differentiator  micro webapp. Bookmark it so you may easily access it later.
