What is Bluetooth dial-up networking (DUN)

Bluetooth dial-up networking (DUN) is a wireless internet technology that refers to connecting to the internet using a Bluetooth enabled cell phone as a modem. Bluetooth DUN offers a low band alternative where there are no local hotspots to provide high speed wireless internet access. Bluetooth is a wireless protocol that allows for wireless communication to take place in a Personal Area Network (PAN). It makes use of the frequency hopping spread spectrum to transmit data over short distances from fixed or mobile devices. It is mainly used to exchange information between mobile phones, digital cameras, laptops, printers and many more.

For you to make use of Bluetooth DUN, you will need a Bluetooth enabled laptop, a Bluetooth DUN capable device such as a mobile phone, a broadband access subscription and supporting drivers for your Bluetooth DUN capable phone. You may need to verify that your laptop indeed has Bluetooth. If your laptop is not Bluetooth enabled, you could make use of a Bluetooth USB adapter or configure it first to allow for Bluetooth connectivity. You may also need to install a Bluetooth program. You then need to use this software to scan for Bluetooth devices. The laptop should be able to recognize all Bluetooth enabled devices within its perimeter. A broadband access subscription is obtained from your Internet Service Provider who also provides you with a username and password that you will use to set up the Bluetooth DUN. A dial-up access phone number is also required. If using a cell phone, the phone must also be Bluetooth enabled.

Once the cell phone is turned on, the laptop should be able to detect it as well as all other devices within its range. Once the cell phone is discovered, depending on your operating System, you will be shown various options to choose from. All you need to do is to look for the dial-up networking available service and select it. Once you have found the service, your Bluetooth adaptor software will allow you to create a dial-up connection. However, it is important to note that not all Bluetooth adaptor software will allow you to create a dial-up and the software you choose is therefore very important for this stage. This scenario has popularly termed the whole process as the Bluetooth dial-up networking hack. The phone may require that you accept or decline the connection request and may sometimes need you to key in a security code. The phone and the laptop will then be paired and a connection formed. The connection is now complete.

Advantages of Bluetooth DUN

1. Can be used as a modem when no other means of connecting to the internet is available.

2. Bluetooth DUN makes use of Bluetooth technology meaning that it benefits from all the advantages that Bluetooth offers such as the fact that Bluetooth does not require direct line of sight connection.

3. Bluetooth DUN can be used on several Operating Systems including Windows XP, Linux and Mac OS

Who Owned Mudah.my




Do you know who owned Mudah.my? Mudah.my (Mudah.com or Mudah Classified; as some Malaysian prefer to called that website) is a website with a simple idea: buy and sell basically everything and find jobs, cars for sale, houses for sale, mobile phones for sale, computers for sale, and properties for sale in Malaysia. Some says Mudah.my owned by A Singaporean and Swedish. With over 510839 ads online everyday, Google Page Rank 5, Alexa world ranking at 2,909 and top ten Alexa ranking in Malaysia. Mudah.my certainly one trading place that everyone should be looking into.

Mudah.my exactly owned by 701Search Pte Ltd, a Singaporean Company owned by young Singaporean entrepreneur. 701Search Pte Ltd was incorporated in September 2006 and was set up by Singapore Press Holdings and Schibsted to develop online businesses in this region. In July 2007, 701Search Pte Ltd set up its first overseas subsidiary, 701Search Sdn Bhd. The company, which obtained Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status in Malaysia launched its online classifieds website, Mudah.my in November 2007. Within 9 months, the website established itself as Malaysia's No. 1 buy and sell website.

Schibsted ASA through its subsidiary Schibsted Classified Media (SCM) is currently the biggest online classified advertising company in Europe. It has activities in mature markets such as Belgium, France, Spain and Sweden, as well as operations in growth markets like Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. In Europe, SCM runs leading classified websites in Austria (Willhaben.at), Belgium (Kapaza.be), Finland (Tori.fi), France (Leboncoin.fr), Greece (AggelioPolis.gr), Hungary (Jofogas.hu), Italy (Subito.it), Portugal (CustoJusto.pt), Spain (Segundamano.es), Sweden (Blocket.se) and Switzerland (Tutti.ch). The Asian operations are controlled by 701Search Pte Ltd (701Search), a Singapore-based joint venture between SPH and Schibsted. The Asian websites include Indonesia (Berniaga.com), Malaysia (Mudah.my) and Philippines (AyosDito.ph).


The company established its Philippines office in November 2008 and launched its online classifieds website, AyosDito.ph (Tagalog for "Ok Here") in March 2009. And like its Malaysian sister website, AyosDito.ph has very quickly gained a loyal following and is well on its way to become the preferred buy and sell website in the Philippines.
In Malaysia, Shylendra A.S. Nathan is the General Manager of the Malaysia mudah.my operations. In mudah.my once the advertisements published they are conveniently organized into Location (i.e. states, regions and/or provinces), For Sale or Wanted and a variety of product categories. For a quick locate an advertisement, there are basic wide card search and advanced category dependent search criteria. Once the Advertisement is found, it can be added to Favorites for future quick reference. All advertisers' contact details are hidden on request and they block unwanted spam where possible.

For me, Mudah.my is like Malaysia online flea market. You just need to beware that there is conman, fraudster, scammer and cheater among thousands of genuine seller. The list of fraud case rise every year. Some of the coin and currency on sale in mudah is selling at a ridiculous price or make no sense at all. 1 ringgit 1971 coin sale for RM5K? Or even an old square coin(malaya & british borneo one cent coin) on sale for 900 ringgit. To anyone who do collecting will be laughing at the advertisement. But the owner should implemented some method where the seller is rated, to make sure only reputable seller keep on doing sale in their website. I try to find information about Mudah.my in Wikipedia but I cannot found any.

Snipers and Sharpshooters Rule the Battlefield


by James Dunnigan
April 28, 2004

Discussion Board on this DLS topic
In Iraq, the The U.S. Army and Marines both found that more frequent and aggressive use of snipers made for more successful combat operations. Each army brigade now has about three dozen trained snipers, and most brigades have encouraged the selection and training of more snipers within infantry companies. The ability to take down enemy troops with single shots is a major combat advantage, but can only be done if you have better trained troops and much better reconnaissance and observation on the battlefield.

The army has a five week sniper school, and the marines have a ten week course that is considered one of the best in the world. These schools turn out professional snipers who know how to operate independently in two man teams. Marine regiments (about the same size as army brigades) have about three times as many snipers per battalion as do army units. But both the army and the marines are taking advantage of the greater number of veteran troops in their combat units, and the fact that just about every soldier has a rifle with a scope, and has a lot of target practice behind them. Infantry commanders are encouraged to find and designate about ten percent of their men as “sharpshooters” (sort of “sniper lite”) and make use of these guys to take out enemy troops at a distance, and with single shots. This is a trend that has been growing for over a decade, but has now become a major feature of American infantry tactics.

The marines won’t release any numbers of sniper kills (except that the top scoring sniper in Fallujah had 24 kills as of late April), but it is known from emails coming back that the marines use snipers, and sniping tactics (for non-snipers), extensively. Part of this is to comply with the Rules of Engagement (ROE) that call for minimizing civilian casualties. Most often, the marines only use a lot of fire power when they are ambushed (there is no better way to deal with an ambush than to blast your way out of it). But most of the Iraqi gunmen are killed by single shots, usually by the trained snipers, after the snipers and their commanders had carefully set up sniper firing positions that covered areas they knew Iraqis liked to travel through. UAVs and lots of scouting, plus questioning of prisoners, reveals the Iraqi routes and makes them deadly to use. This has terrorized the Iraqis, which is exactly what it is intended to do. The army and marine snipers particularly like to work at night, when their night vision and thermal imaging equipment enables them to shoot accurately in the darkness. This further reduces the chance of civilian losses, and increases the terror.

The men who go through the sniper school receive lots of training on how to choose a good shooting position, get to it unseen and remain unseen for as long at is takes to get the shot, or shots, available. These professional snipers also learn to use larger caliber 7.62mm and 12.7mm (.50 caliber) sniper rifles. These are single shot weapons that are designed and built for accuracy at very long ranges (over a thousand meters for the 12.7mm rifle.) The “sharpshooters” are mainly excellent shots at shorter ranges, and have whatever training they can pick up on how to find the best shooting position. Army and marine officers have learned how to use snipers more frequently in the past two decades. Instead of regarding the snipers as just a specialized weapon, for special occasions, combat unit commanders now see snipers as a standard type of trooper, to be used immediately in any combat situation, just as they would mix and match riflemen, machinegunners, grenadiers (with 40mm grenade launchers) and other weapons available to infantry companies and battalions.

The emphasis on greater accuracy in the use of weapons now applies to all weapons. Better trained troops can carry out complex battlefield maneuvers automatically, even when (especially when) under fire. While some of the anti-government gunmen in Iraq have demonstrated evidence of some military training, it has proved far inferior to that of the American troops they face. In combat, the side that is better trained wins, and takes fewer casualties doing so.

Anwar, Azmin, Azizah & Shamsidar (3A + 1S)

ATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2009

Anwar, Azmin, Azizah & Shamsidar (3A + 1S)
Episod 3A (Anwar, Azizah & Azizah) sudah terbongkar. Apabila Anwar berkuasa dalam kerajaan sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan Azmin menjadi orang paling berkuasa. Sebagai Setiausaha Sulit Kanan, Anwar. Semua orang tahu, ketika itu, sesiapa yang ingin berjumpa dengan Anwar mesti melalui Azmin. Azmin umpama penjaga tol, di muka pintu.

Anwar jatuh pun kerana faktor Azmin. Berpunca dari isteri Azmin bernama Shamsida Taharin. Pada tahun 1997, rakyat Malaysia dikejutkan dengan pergolakan keluarga Azmin Ali, apabila adiknya Ummi Hafilda Ali menghantar sepucuk surat kepada Perdana Menteri, Dr Mahathir Mohamad menceritakan perilaku kesalahan moral Timbalan Perdana Menteri (Anwar Ibrahim) dengan kakak iparnya (Shamsida Taharin) dan bekas pemandunya, Azizan Abu Bakar. Surat adik Azmin itu disokong oleh keempat adik beradik Azmin iaitu Norlia Ali, Intan Dawini Ali, Mohd. Azwan Ali dan Mohd Azman Ali.

Mereka lebih kenal siapa Shamsida Taharin, kerana penama itu sebahagian daripada keluarga mereka. Cerita yang selama ini berlegar di kalangan ahli keluarga, akhirnya meletup menjadi isu nasional.

Pada mulanya Dr Mahathir menolak surat itu kerana lebih mempercayai kata-kata Timbalannya, Anwar Ibrahim yang menafikan semua dakwaan dalam surat tersebut. Dalam masa sama, Anwar telah mengarahkan Azmin untuk memujuk adiknya, Ummi Hafilda untuk menarik balik pengakuan surat itu.

Azmin telah pulang ke rumah ayahnya, membawa beg berisikan wang berjumpa dengan Ummi Hafilda. Wang dalam beg itu bernilai kira-kira RM50,000 sebagai ganjaran pendahuluan, untuk Ummi menarik balik kenyataannya. Azmin beritahu Anwar minta tarik balik kenyataan dalam surat itu, kerana boleh menjejaskan reputasi bosnya sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri. Azmin beritahu dia akan beritahu kepada semua media dan minta Ummi menangis serta membaca skrip yang telah disiapkan oleh Anwar yang mengandungi butiran kekesalan serta menarik balik surat tersebut. Selepas muncul di depan media itu, Anwar akan beri 5 million kepada Ummi sebagai ganjarannya. Tetapi pujukan Azmin terhadap adiknya itu tidak berjaya.

Azmin meninggalkan Ummi dengan hampa dan sempat memberi kata-kata ancaman "betina degil, kau akan tahu nasib kau..polis akan tangkap kau dan sumbat dalam ISA!"

Selepas usaha pemujukan gagal, Anwar telah mengarahkan polis Bukit Aman untuk menangkap Ummi Hafilda dan Azizan Abu Bakar. Polis telah memaksa Ummi dan Azizan menukar pengakuan, dengan menulis surat baru yang mengatakan surat yang ditulis pada 5 Ogos 1997 adalah palsu. Semua keterangan kejadian ini menjadi bahan bukti mahkamah yang akhirnya mensabitkan kesalahan Anwar menyalahgunakan kuasa untuk melindungi salahlaku seksual dengan Shamsida Taharin. Klik di sini, di sini, di sini, di sini di sini, di sini di sini, di sini, di sini, dan di sini

Akhirnya perbicaraan yang mengambil masa hampir enam bulan itu, berakhir pada 14 April 1999, apabila Hakim Datuk S. Augustine Paul menjatuhi hukuman penjara enam tahun bagi setiap tuduhan dan memerintahkan hukuman berjalan serentak mulai tarikh tersebut. Anwar didapati bersalah atas empat tuduhan pindaan rasuah kerana menyalah guna kuasa di bawah Seksyen 2(1) Ordinan 22 (Kuasa-Kuasa Perlu) Darurat 1970. Klik di sini

Anwar di penjara, Azmin diblacklist, Azizah pula berkuasa

Setelah Anwar di penjara, Azizah menjadi orang yang paling berkuasa membayangi imej suaminya. Sebelum ini imej Azizah tenggelam, ketika Anwar berkuasa, kerana imej Azmin Ali (di pejabat) dan imej Sukma Darmawan (adik angkat di rumah Anwar) menenggelami semua imej lain termasuk Azizah.

Selepas Azizah menjadi Presiden Parti Keadilan nasional (nama lama PKR sebelum bergabung dengan PRM), dia telah memblaclist 3 nama yang telah menghancurkan kehidupannya iaitu Azmin Ali, Sukma Darmawan dan Shamsida Taharin.

Sukma telah dihantar balik ke Indonesia. Shamsida dilarang datang ke rumahnya di No 8 Jalan Setiamurni 1, Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, juga termasuk di rumah baru, istana di Bukit Segambut, Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.

Manakala Azmin pula disekat daripada mara dalam parti Keadilan. Pernah satu ketika Azizah menolak jemputan Azmin Ali untuk merasmikan parti Keadilan Cawangan Gombak. Azmin telah melobi kesemua pegawai-pegawai yang dekat dengan Azizah untuk hadir ke majlis perasmian itu, tetapi jawapan Azizah tetap sama, iaitu menolak permohonan itu. Akhirnya Azmin menggunakan talian hayat yang terakhir iaitu menggunakan khidmat Anwar yang sedang berada dalam penjara. Dengan arahan Anwar, akhirnya Azizah hadir dalam terpaksa merasmikan cawangan Keadilan Gombak di bawah Azmin Ali.

Boleh dikatakan ketika itu, Azmin berada dalam kepayahan meneraju parti kerana halangan daripada Azizah, hayat politiknya semata-mata bergantung kepada Anwar yang berada di penjara.

Setelah Anwar dibebaskan dari penjara pada tahun 2004, Azmin kembali bernyawa. Orang yang memapah Anwar (kononnya terlampau uzur) adalah Azmin Ali. Ketika itu, ada suara nakal sampai ke telinga Azizah, 'now Azmin and Sukma come back!'

Ternyata benar telahan itu, semua urusan Anwar merawat di Munich diatur oleh Azmin. Sukma Darmawan turut segar kembali dan dari Indonesia, dia terus ke Munich menemani abang angkatnya selama sebulan di sana. Anwar meminta Azmin membawa Shamsida bersama di Munich, tetapi ditentang habis-habisan oleh Azizah. Berlaku perang mulut antara Anwar-Azizah dan Azizah membantah keras kehadiran Shamsida di Munich. Nurul Izzah turut menyokong ibunya. Akhirnya keputusan memihak kepada Azizah.

Sekarang, sistem dalam parti PKR kembali normal. Anwar kembali berkuasa sebagai penasihat umum, Azmin sebagai orang yang paling penting sebagai Naib Presiden dan Azizah kembali menjadi 'boneka' sebagai Presiden PKR yang tidak mempunyai kuasa.

Shamsida yang misteri

Ada sebab kukuh Azizah memblacklist nama Shamsida. Hanya Azizah saja yang mengetahui apa yang terpendam di hatinya. Ada sebab kukuh, anak perempuan Anwar, Nurul Izzah berpihak kepada ibunya, hanya Azizah dan Nurul Izzah yang mengetahui, kerana mereka saling berkongsi masalah masing-masing ketika Anwar di penjara.

Shamsida menjadi 'duri dalam daging' kepada keluarga Azizah, setelah kes rasuah Anwar dibicarakan pada 1 November 1998. Ketika di mahkamah semuanya terbongkar, termasuk kegiatan gelap Anwar yang membohongi Azizah selama ini dengan alasan 'bermain tenis'

Pada setiap hari Rabu (selepas mesyuarat kabinet), Anwar menelefon Azizah dengan alasan bermain tenis dengan dato Nallakaruppan di Bukit Kiara. Tetapi di dalam mahkamah, barulah Azizah faham, maksud 'main tenis' itu adalah Dato Nalla membawa Anwar dan Shamsida ke Tivoli Villa, Bangsar dengan sebuah kereta mewah, Daimler WBV 37, kepunyaan Dato Nalla.

Tivoli Villa (lot 2-5-13 dan 2-5-14, di Tingkat 5) adalah kepunyaan Dato Nalla yang diberikan oleh Datuk Lim Thian Kiat (T.K.Lim), Pengarah Multi Purpose Holding Berhad (MPHB), penguasa kondominium itu. Dato TK Lim juga pemilik syarikat judi Magnum Corporation yang Dato Nalla diberi tugas sebagai Director Eksekutifnya. Dua lot kondominium itu dihadiahkan kepada Dato Nalla oleh Dato TK Lim untuk dihadiahkan pula kepada Anwar Ibrahim yang ketika itu memegang jawatan sebagai Menteri Kewangan. Dato TK Lim perlu meraikan Menteri Kewangan, kerana di tangannya bergantung nasib syarikat judi Magnum Corporation.

Bukan rahsia lagi, ketika Anwar menjadi Menteri Kewangan, dia membangunkan 'satu bank raksasa' di bawah kawalannya yang dinamakan PHILEO ALLIED BANK. Bayangkan dengan sentuhan Menteri Kewangan (Anwar), bank yang baru muncul dan berusia 3 tahun menjadi bank yang paling kaya dan tersenarai dalam 'Top Ten Bank' di Malaysia.

Semuanya kerana sentuhannya sebagai Menteri Kewangan, dia meletakkan proksinya bernama TONG KOOI ONG menjadi 'CEO' Phileo Allied Bank. Sebenarnya dari segi kelayakan Tong Kooi Ong, dia tidak layak menjadi CEO bank itu kerana tidak menepati piawaian yang telah ditetapkan oleh Bank Negara, namun dengan campur tangan Menteri Kewangan syarat Bank Negara itu telah di'overrule' dan Anwar tetap melantik Kooi Ong menjadi 'CEO' Phileo Allied Bank.

Menurut pengakuan berkanun Datuk Abdul Murad Khalid, bekas Penolong Gabenor Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Anwar mengarahkan Tong Kooi Ong, CEO Phileo Allied Bank, untuk mengambil Shamsida Taharin, bekerja di Phileo Allied Bank di Jalan Tun Razak.

Kata Abdul Murad: ''Adalah diketahui dengan meluas bahawa Shamsidar dibayar gaji yang tinggi dan disediakan dengan sebuah kereta dan pemandu dan pada kebanyakan masa dia tidak perlu pergi bekerja.''

Menurut Zulkifli Sulaiman, Pengurus Besar di Phileo Allied Bank : "Saya amat mengenali Shamsida Taharin. Semasa di Phileo, dia hanya berjawatan Executive Corporate Affairs, di Ibu Pejabat phileo Allied Bank dan juga merangkap Pengarah Syarikat Phileo Pregrine, broker saham kepunyaan Tong Kooi Ong"

"Saya mengetahui bahawa Shasidar adalah proxy untuk Anwar dan juga untuk suami sahnya, Azmin Ali"

"Pendapatannya di Phileo Allied Bank adalah RM5000-00, tetapi dia mendapat benefit lain dari Phileo Pregrine dan anak-anak syarikat Phileo yang lain, jadi keseluruhan pendapatannya berjumlah RM25,000-00 tak termasuk kereta audi dan pemandu serta fringe benefit saperti entertainment expense"

"Kami di Phileo ketika itu tahu tentang connection Shamsidar dengan Anwar, malah dia jarang ada di office dan she reported direct to Tong. Shamsidar have direct access to Anwar"

Perhatikan kenyataan Zulkifli Sulaiman (seperti yang dibold di atas) "untuk suami sahnya, Azmin Ali". Mendalam kata-kata itu. Bermakna terdapat suami tidak sah Shamsida?

Persoalannya kenapa Anwar memberikan 'keistimewaan terlampau' kepada Shamsida hinggakan menjadi buah mulut di kalangan staff Phileo ?

Ternyata Phileo Allied Bank hanya merupakan 'bank proksi Anwar', selepas Anwar dipecat daripada Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan, sebuah bank yang pernah tersenarai sebagai 'top ten bank' di Malaysia akhirnya terpaksa gulung tikar dan ditutup kerana tidak mampu bersaing dengan bank-bank lain di negara ini.

Semalam muncul kisah terbaru, kisah Azmin Ali, Shamida Tahrin dan adiknya Jamal Taharin memiliki kekayaan melampau sehingga mampu membeli saham bernilai RM8 juta. Sebenarnya pendedahan itu tidak mengejutkan, jumlah itu lebih besar daripada RM8 juta dan bukan setakat Jamal Taharin yang kaya, malah dua orang lagi adik beradik Shamsida turut kaya. Johan Taharin, abang sulung dan Jamil Taharin (adik bongsu) merupakan yang paling kaya.

Bayangkan dengan 'limpahan kewangan Shamsida', Jamil menjadi billioner ketika berusia 25 tahun. Jamil pernah couple dengan seorang gadis bernama 'Alia', demi kesayangannya kepada gadis itu kereta mersnya ditempah khas bernombor AL 14 ALIA.

Banyak lagi kes x-files Shamida bakal terdedah..
