[TECHNICAL TIP] WILL WINDOWS WORK MORE THAN 49.7 DAYS???

 

DO you know about this???
 
Will Windows work continuously for more than 49.7 days?
 
Here is a bit of information, which may surprise you all. Windows crashes automatically if you don't switch off the machine for 49.7 Days. Microsoft accepts this. Do you know why?
 
In Windows the Virtual Machine Manager (here after referred as VMM) is responsible for creation, execution, monitoring and termination of virtual machines. This VMM, which is a 32 bit, protected mode operating system entity, provides a number of system services at chip level. One of these services is "Get_System_Time". This particular service loads the EAX register with the time in milliseconds since Windows started on that machine. This service is accurate to 1 ms. EAX is a 32 bit register in Intel 386 Processor onwards.
 
So the maximum number of milliseconds it can hold is
(232)-1 = 4294967295 milliseconds = 4294967.295 seconds = 71582.79 minutes = 1193 hours = 49.7 days.

So after 49.7 days the EAX resets to zero. Most of the Drivers use this Time Service to keep track of the Timeout of various services they provide. So after 49.7 days the drivers cannot use the Get_System_Time function of VMM and they crash taking the OS along with.

Happy Secret

 

Once X asked Y, "What is the secret behind your happy married life?"

Y said, "You should share responsibilities with due love and respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems."

X asked, "Can you explain?"
Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other's decisions."

Still not convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples" Y said," Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it"

X asked, "Then what is your role?"
Y said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, whether Britain should lift sanction over Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin Tendulkar should retire etc etc. Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these".

 

 

 

[Best Poems] I believe .....


A Birth Certificate shows that we were born

A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . . .. Relax . . . And read this slowly.

**********************************
I believe ..... That just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do love each other.


I believe... That we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends do change
.

I believe .... That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe.... That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I believe .... That you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.


I believe ..... That it's taking me a long time to
become the person I want to be.

I believe..... That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.


I believe .... That you can keep going long
after you think you can't.

I believe ..... That we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.


I believe .... That either you control your attitude
or it controls you.


I believe ..... That heroes are the people who do
what has to be done when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.

I believe.... That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe..... That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing
and have the best time.

I believe..... That sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe....... That sometimes when I'm angry I
have the right to be angry, but that doesn't
give me the right to be cruel.


I believe..... That maturity has more to do with what
types of experiences you've had and what you've
learned from them and less to do with how
many birthdays you've celebrated.


I believe..... That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself
.

I Believe...... That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe...... That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are, but we
are responsible for who we become.

I Believe ........ That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life Forever.

I believe ...... Two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.

I Believe...... That your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe...... That even when you think you have
no more to give, when a friend cries out to you -
you will find the strength to help.


I believe...... That credentials on the wall do not make
you a decent human being.

I believe ..... That the people you care about most in
life are taken from you too soon.

I Believe.... That you should send this to all of the
people that you believe in.
I just did.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the best of everything they have.

Friendship is like the breeze,
You can't hold it,
Smell it,
Taste it,
Or know when it's coming,
But you can always feel it,
And you'll always know it's there,
It may come and then go,
But you can know it'll always be back.

No one can go back and make a brand new start. But you can always start from now and make a brand new    ending

With money in your pocket you are wise, you are handsome, and you sing well too.
