With Christmas comming tomorrow I wanted to wish everyone on the Holiday season. Remember to drive safely to your destination. This is the most dangerous time of hear for drivers because people are tired or not paying attention. Have a Safe and Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas to one and all!!
[ad#ad2-right]Although I don’t know what could be wrong I’d figure we talk about what it it means.
Whois — is a query/response protocol which is widely used for querying an official database in order to determine the owner of a domain name, an IP address, or an autonomous system number on the Internet. WHOIS lookups were traditionally made using a command line interface, but a number of simplified web-based tools now exist for looking up domain ownership details from different databases. Web-based WHOIS clients still rely on the WHOIS protocol to connect to a WHOIS server and do lookups, and command-line WHOIS clients are still quite widely used by system administrators. WHOIS normally runs on TCP port 43.

So what does that mean? It means that when your IP sends a request to the server to find the IP address of facebook and it comes back saying “Website Locked” meaning the DNS server you are using is being blocked. You can however unblock it by using another DNS like OPENDNS. This service would ultimately let you use facebook. This is how to fix the problem for those who are having the problem.
Here is another virus that seems to be spreading lately. From the looks of it, it sees to be another email worm. Here is what eset says:
Email-Worm.Win32.Bagle.gt (Kaspersky), W32/Bagle.gen (McAfee), Trojan.Tooso!gen (Symantec)
[ad#ad2-right]Win32/Bagle.HE is a worm that spreads via e-mail. The size of its executable is 40565 B .
When executed the worm copies itself in the following locations:
In order to be executed on every system start, the worm sets the following Registry entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\drv_st_key
[ad#ad2-left]It seems to have a manual removal process, Unless you pay for the other software but according to the 411 on PC Security:
Win32/Bagle.HE worm is a “threat” that appears in security scans by fake antispyware WinDefender 2008.
The danger of Win32/Bagle.HE worm is supposed to scare you into wasting $49.95 on WinDefender 2008.
Unless you like getting ripped off, don’t download the software the Win32/Bagle.HE worm popup links to. You’re not really infected with Win32/Bagle.HE worm — you’re infected with scamware that you need to remove.
I’ll show you how to get rid of Win32/Bagle.HE worm and WinDefender 2008, for free.

According to this site you can remove it by doing some steps. I think Kaspersky has an easier way to remove it and it looks like most anti-virus software will remove this. You need to remember that only you can prevent this from the future. You should also update your windows update and make sure your system is up to date.
[ad#ad2-left]After 5th season there will be no more weekly shows of Atlantis. According to Gateworld:
Atlantis remains an extremely strong performer in DVR-delayed viewing, though, often building as much as 25 to 30 percent on its premiere night audience.
I kept saying Atlantis should of been on Hulu, just like every other show they would have a more solid audience and more viewers to count. The only reason Eureka and others got more ratings was because they could watch the latest shows on Scifi or Even Hulu. Unlike Stargate Atlantis on Hulu, they only have small clips. In order to build a fanbase, you need to build around the most current way to show the show off. Granted it still did rather well with ratings and all but it could of done better by putting it on HULU. There are sites out there that would like to Save Atlantis and I agree with them. I would love to see more seasons of Atlantis, and see it on HULU.
QVC told 160 employees today that their jobs were being eliminated immediately. About 110 were at the company’s corporate headquarters and studio in West Chester and its operations center about two miles away.
