Armed Islamic Group of Algeria (GIA):<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />With an endeavor to overrule the Algerian government, this terrorist group was founded in July 1992 and became notorious in 1994, after hijacking the “Air France Flight 8969″. Since then it has conducted a deadly crusade of killing innocent civilians, bombarding public places, kidnapping and raping in its area of operation. This terrorist group asserts the ideology that “political pluralism is equivalent to sedition”. This creed was generated in 1992, after a controversial decision of Algeria’s Military Government which blocked the political ways of a mainstream Islamic party, Islamic Salvation Front.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">9. Aden-Abyan Islamic Army:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />Associated to the Islamic Jihad Movement, this Islamic terrorist group works with the motive to contend against the secularism in Arab countries, significantly in Yemen. This organization was spotlighted in December 1998, after kidnapping 16 foreign tourists in Abyan in which four of the hostages were killed in the rescue operation conducted by the Yemeni security forces.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">8. Jamaat Ansar al-Sunna:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />Founded in September 2003, this Iraqi guerrilla force opposes the government led by Nouri al-Maliki as well as the forces of United States in Iraq. This terrorist group is grounded in central and northern Iraq and is said to be linked with several Islamic organizations operating in Iraq. However, intelligence agencies of the Iraqi interim government and United States linked this group to al-Qaeda but later it was revealed that there is a wild conflict between these two terrorist groups.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">7. Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />This Marxist-Leninist terrorist group of Colombia is better known by its acronym – “FARC” and is considered as the kingpin of illegal drug trade across the world. This organization was established in 1964 and currently it constitutes approximately 12 thousand combatants with thousands of supporters from the rural areas. The obtained extortion money from multinational corporations and wealthier classes is invested for the betterment of poor peoples.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">6. Kurdistan Worker’s Party:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />Best known as PKK, this group was established on November 27, 1978 in Turkey and since then it has been fighting for the sake of an independent Kurdish state. Face of an international terror, PKK’s working region constitutes Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq and it is also enlisted by a number of counter-terrorism agencies as a deadly international organization.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5. Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />The deadliest terrorist group of Srilanka, LTTE was founded by Velupillai Prabhakaran in May 1976, possessing a sophisticated military. However, it was defeated in May 2009 by Srilankan Military but it has a devilish record of assassinating high-profile Indian and Srilankan politicians. Banned by 32 countries across the world, this terrorist group was the main reason behind the Srilankan Civil War.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4. Hezbollah:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />Backed up by Iran and Syria, this Lebanon based terrorist group has emerged from the Lebanese civil war of 1982 and is considered as the biggest foe of Israel and Sunni Arab countries. According to a report of Central Intelligence Agency, this organization covers the 41 percent of Lebanese population and is involved in multiple social activities.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Taliban:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />Derived from the word “students”, Taliban is well known for beastly governing the Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and its deadly guerrilla war against the NATO including the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan. This terrorist group was founded by Pashtun tribes with the significant support from some Islamic countries such as Arabs, Chechens, Uzbeks, Punjabis and Tajiks.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Hamas:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />Acronym for “Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-Islamia”, HAMAS is a socio-political terrorist group of Palestine which was founded in 1987 due to an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. This organization was established with the aim of Jihad and to release Palestine from Israeli subjugation. Known for its daredevil suicide bombers, this terrorist group is significantly supported by Hezbollah to assassinate Israeli civilians and defense officers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Al-Qaeda:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br />The biggest “brand name” between all terrorist groups across the world! This extremist Islamic group was established in 1989 by Osama Bin Laden, the great grandfather of all terrorists and a mysterious figure dodging the worldwide intelligence agencies after the September 11 attacks. Notorious for its integrated network and powerful strategies, Al-Qaeda constitutes thousand of individuals who have accomplished proper military training.sharveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05909639328999510880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048143781349824639.post-64814550836776112392010-01-31T19:53:00.000-08:002010-01-31T19:59:03.068-08:00Windows Vista<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cnwIbybJDlY/S2ZRdy83JbI/AAAAAAAAAAs/VxziCiK9wKQ/s1600-h/290px-Windows_Aero.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 218px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cnwIbybJDlY/S2ZRdy83JbI/AAAAAAAAAAs/VxziCiK9wKQ/s400/290px-Windows_Aero.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433119572804183474" border="0" /></a><br /><p><b>Windows Vista</b> is a line of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating systems</a> developed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> for use on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer" title="Personal computer">personal computers</a>, including home and business <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_computer" title="Desktop computer">desktops</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop" title="Laptop">laptops</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_PC" title="Tablet PC">tablet PCs</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_center" title="Media center">media center</a> PCs.

Karnivora menakutkan ini adalah pemakan hewan-hewan laut meskipun bisa jg mengakibatkan luka pada manusia yg terlalu dekat dgnnya. Kelihatannya belut yg bisa mencapai panjang 13 ft ini lebih suka menghindar daripada menyerang dan hanya menyerang manusia utk mempertahankan dirinya atau menggigit tangan secara tdk sengaja karena dikira makanannya. Ketika merasa diganggu, makhluk ini menjadi ganas; dan bakteri yg terdpt pada gigi-giginya bisa menyebabkan luka yg serius. Pada beberapa spesiesnya, lendir di kulitnya jg mengandung racun.<br />Ciri khas Moray lainnya adalah adanya rahang kedua di kerongkongannya yg jg punya gigi. Saat berburu mangsa dan menangkapnya, ikan ini akan mengeluarkan rahangnya ini di mulutnya, melumat mangsanya dan menariknya ke dlm pencernaannya</div>sharveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05909639328999510880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048143781349824639.post-33627458744276097642010-01-25T17:54:00.000-08:002010-01-25T17:56:12.938-08:00Anglerfish:<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cnwIbybJDlY/S15LsWWw11I/AAAAAAAAAAU/knJsIjJyTbs/s1600-h/ikanbuasanglerfish05.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430861425942779730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cnwIbybJDlY/S15LsWWw11I/AAAAAAAAAAU/knJsIjJyTbs/s400/ikanbuasanglerfish05.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>tdk ada ikan lain yg seseram ikan ini, berkeliaran di kedalaman laut, Anglerfish. Bersembunyi jauh di kedalaman lautan, ikan ini dinamakan demikian (anglerfish=ikan pemancing) karena caranya menangkap mangsa yg unik dgn menggunakan bagian tubuhnya yg menonjol keluar dari kepalanya yg mirip dgn kail pancing yg ajaibnya mampu mengeluarkan cahaya bioluminescent yg berasal dari jutaaan bakteri bercahaya yg menempel di situ. Hal ini cukup menarik mangsanya utk mendekat dan begitu menyentuh “umpan” ini, Anglefish akan langsung bereaksi cepat melahapnya.<br />Mulutnya yg besar siap menerkam dan rahangnya yg bergigi panjang dan mengarah ke dlm membuatnya mudah memasukkan mangsa ke perut sekaligus menutup jalan keluar dari mulutnya. Predator mieip mesin ini mampu membesarkan rahang dan perutnya sehingga mangsa yg lebih besar dari dirinya bisa masuk ke dalamnya. Hantu lautan ini dpt ditemukan di kedalaman 3.300 hingga 6.600 ft di bawah lautan. O, ya, panjangnya bisa mencapai 2 ft.</div>sharveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05909639328999510880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048143781349824639.post-73359412130329413162010-01-25T17:50:00.000-08:002010-01-25T17:53:52.402-08:00Ikan Pirana<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cnwIbybJDlY/S15LIlCkReI/AAAAAAAAAAM/yUmlHatwgc8/s1600-h/ikanbuaspiranha02.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430860811409311202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 271px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cnwIbybJDlY/S15LIlCkReI/AAAAAAAAAAM/yUmlHatwgc8/s400/ikanbuaspiranha02.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Meskipun ikan ini byk dimunculkan di film2 horror bikinan manusia, tapi di dunia nyata sesungguhnya ikan ini memang ganas dan menakutkan. Barisan gigi-gigi tajamnya tersusun rapat dan tersambung satu sama lainnya. Gigi-gigi itu didesain sempurna utk menusuk dan mencabik-cabik daging dgn cepat dimana ikan ini tergolong memiliki nafsu makan yg rakus. Jika sedang lapar dan tdk ada pilihan lain ikan ini jg agresif terhadap jenisnya sendiri dan melakukan kanibalisme.<br />Meski piranha berburu mangsa dgn kejam dan sangat teroganisir, pada saat defence tertentu ikan ini jg memakan tumbuhan seperti rumput. Penelitian jg menyatakan perilaku ikan ini yg membentuk sebuah kelompok besar sebagai pertahanannya terhadap predator seperti buaya dan lumba-lumba sungai sekaligus sebuah strategi utk memangsanya. Meskipun cuma ikan – Anda mkn lebih memandangnya lebih cocok menjadi santapan dinner daripada sebaliknya – Anda tdk akan sungguh-sungguh nyemplung di perairan Amazon dgn kaki telanjang utk mengundang para pencabik daging itu. Anda mkn biasa memberi makanan pada binatang, tapi yg satu ini akan menyerbu dan mencabik-cabik tanpa menunggu undangan kedua. Waks!

For example the Intel Pentium chip handles the central management functions of a high-powered PC. Intel's newest Hyper-Threading (technology that allows the CPU to process two separate threads of data simultaneously) CPU supports a 1 megabyte on-board L2 cache (the on-board cache functions as a buffer to feed data to the CPU at a faster rate). The speed of the CPU is measured in GigaHertz (billions of cycles per second).<br /><br />RAM:Random-Access Memory. Hardware inside your computer that stores information while you work. RAM is one of the things that makes your computer run faster. RAM is not permanent storage of data. When you turn your computer off, all data in RAM is lost. RAM is available in different types, sizes, and speeds. Currently, depending on the Motherboard, the Intel Celeron D CPU uses PC-2700 ram with 533 MHz FSB (Front Side Bus). The Intel Pentim 4 HT CPU uses PC-3200 DDR (double data rate) ram with 800 MHz Front Side Bus.Hard Drive:A Data Storage medium that houses all of the information in your computer. This would include your operating system (Windows), device drivers, programs, and data you have created using your programs (word documents, spread sheets, etc.). Unlike RAM the Hard Drive retains data when the computer is turned off. Hard Drives sizes are in GigaBytes or billions of characters. EIDE hard drives spin at a speed of 7200 RPM. Older EIDE hard drives spin at 5400 RPM. New technology hard drives are now on the market, and these are SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives. Currently, these SATA hard drives have speeds approximately the same as EIDE. Looking ahead, the SATA hard drives will be faster and the prices will drop. The SATA hard drives require different MotherBoard technology to support them.<br /><br />MotherBoard:The main circuit board of the computer. All key internal and external components of your computer plug into the MotherBoard, such as the CPU, RAM, Hard Drive, etc. The speed at which information travels across the MotherBoard is referred to as the BUS speed. Recently a new technology has been introduced called PCI Express. This allows a faster data transfer speed across the MotherBoard, especially for video graphics.<br /><br />Case:Often called the "computer", the case houses and provides power to the major computer components, including the MotherBoard, CPU, Hard Drive, RAM, Video Card, Sound Card, etc. Those components not housed in the computer case are usually referred to as "peripherals". The case also houses the power supply. It is important to have a large enough power supply to handle your current and future needs. Also important is that the case be large enough and have enough ball bearing fans so the internal components do not overheat and cause damage to themselves. Miniature cases are to be avoided. Never put your computer in a desk compartment or other small space where it can't breathe. Heat is the enemy of all computers.<br /><br />Monitor:The video display unit that sits on your desktop and serves as your computer screen. Monitors are available in two basic types. The CRT (cathode ray tube - looks like a TV set), called "flat" or "perfect flat" and the LCD (liquid crystal display) called "flat panel"- pictured on the left. The LCD Flat Panel monitors are more expensive, but have a smaller footprint on your desktop. The better LCD monitors can support digital (better) or analog input from the video card. With LCD Monitors we must watch closely the "response time". This is how fast the monitor redraws the picture. If you get a LCD with a slow refresh rate, some video or games may be jerky to watch.Be careful when you buy - rebuilt or refurbished monitors may be called "new" and have a one year warranty. You want a "brand new" monitor with a three year warranty.<br /><br />Video Card:A circuit board that plugs into a MotherBoard slot, usually an AGP (accelerated graphics port) slot or PCI Express slot (newer/faster/more bandwidth) and handles multimedia applications and graphics-intensive web sites freeing up the CPU (thereby increasing your computers speed). The monitor plugs into the video card which is accessed thru a slot in the back of your computer. The better the graphics chip on the video card, and the more ram built on the video card, the faster the display on the monitor. Top of the line games need very high performance video cards. Better Video Cards have both Digital (better) and Analog outputs.Speakers:Produce sound (music, voice, etc.) based on data created and sent by the sound card. Today, computer speakers have become very high quality and many include a sub-woofer for good bass.<br /><br />Sound Card:A circuit board that plugs into your MotherBoard that adds audio capability to your computer, providing high quality stereo output to the speakers.<br /><br />CD-ROM:Compact Disk - Read Only Memory. An optical storage technology that stores and plays back data. "Read Only" means the information can be displayed and used or copied, but cannot be deleted or changed (on the disk). One CD-ROM can hold around 650 megabytes of data, or the equivalent of 450 floppies. The speed of a CD-ROM refers to how fast the disk spins in the device.CD-Burner or DVD/CD BurnerA CD Burner is the informal name for a CD recorder, a device that can record data to a compact disc. CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) are the two most common types of drives that can write CD's, either once (in the case of the CD-R) or repeatedly (in the case of the CD-RW). In the CD-R recording process, the data is actually etched into the disc (burned) with a laser. In the CD-RW process the disk must first be formatted (burned) and then data is copied to or erased from the CD-RW media. Almost all burners can do both tasks - record (CD-R) and rewrite (CD-RW). The best way to determine this is from the specs. "52x32x52a" would be a spec for a current burner. The 52x means the record speed (CD-R), the 32x means the rewrite speed (CD-RW) and the 52a (a = average) means the read speed. If you have a CD-Burner, then a separate CD-ROM is not necessary.The DVD Burners read, write, and re-write to DVD,s and read, write, and re-write to CD's. If you have a DVD Burner, then a separate CD-Burner is not necessary.Modem:A circuit board that plugs into your MotherBoard that enables your computer to communicate with other computers and the Internet. Phone lines are "analog" and computers are "digital" so the modem has the job to MOdulate and DEModulate between analog and digital, thus the name MODEM.<br /><br />Special Note: For today's Internet User the old telephone modems are all but obsolete - try to obtain Cable or DSL Internet service.<br /><br />Ethernet Card:A circuit board that plugs into your MotherBoard and provides the capability to connect or "Network" your computer to other computers and/or the Internet. If you use a cable modem, your computer will need an Ethernet card. Ethernet cards come in different speeds. A 10 Mbps card can transmit/receive at 10 million bits (8 bits to a byte) per second. A 10/100/1000 Mbps card can transmit/receive at up to 1000 million bits per second.<br /><br />Keyboard:The peripheral device used to input information into a computer. It provides a set of alphabetic, numeric, punctuation, symbol and control keys. When a character is pressed, it sends a coded input to the computer, which then displays the character on the Monitor. Keyboards are available in corded and wireless models. Keyboards should come with a wrist rest.<br /><br />Mouse:A peripheral device connected to your computer, used to reposition the cursor or move the pointer on your screen. A mouse usually has at least two buttons, you can use to highlight text, open menu items, launch programs, etc. A mouse can be corded or wireless. Some mice have a ball on the bottom that rolls as you push the mouse, and some mice have optical function. No ball, the mouse senses the movement by an optical beam it emits. There is no need for a mousepad with an optical mouse.<br /><br />Floppy Drive:A device in your computer that allows removable (a floppy disk) storage. Data can be written to or read from a floppy disk in a floppy drive. Each floppy disk can be removed, so you can store data on more than one disk.<br /><br />Operating System:The foundation software of a computer system. Responsible for controlling and launching the installed applications and computer peripherals. It schedules tasks, allocates storage, handles the interface to peripheral hardware and presents a "default" interface to the user when no application program is running.sharveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05909639328999510880noreply@blogger.com0
