How skynet communicate with its robots? Telnet?

Terminator's big friends know that Skynet is a computer software-based 

defense system created by human for using in military. It became self-aware, defined all humans as its enemy and launched human termination programme. Firstly, It actives the nuclear weapon destroying all major cities in the world, then directing robots to kill all the possible survivors. By logic thinking, how skynet communicate with the nuclear weapon servers to active the explosion, and robots to search and kill human? It should be using some computer network protocols that could lead him to the servers or robots. Then commanding them ... Hmm... If Skynet was created on storyboard in around 1980-1990, a possible protocol would be "Telnet", the early and the major network protocol used on computer networking system or internet during that time. 

Today, Telnet is not longer used by web browers or others remote control application because of its security issues. However, this server/client protocols are still being shipped with major OS such as Window, Linux and Mac. Hence, even today, most of the server still could communicate with Telnet. This would be possible to command a server for execute any request remotely.  

For example, you can command google's http server to send you their homepage's HTML content using Telnet. First, if you using window vista, you need to enable Telnet client/server protocol on your system as follows:

Goto "control panel"->Programs and Feature->click on "Turn windows features on or off" -> enable both "Telnet server/client"->click "ok".

Others OS would turn on this feature as default. Then, open your command line interface such as cmd in window or bash shell command prompt in linux based system.  

Type in -> Telnet www.google.com 80   

Wait for connecting.......

After connection have been made. 

Type  in -> Get / http/1.1   then, "Enter".

 you would receive google's server reply a html document. Finally, Wish you have a wonderful weekend. 

Google adds auto translation in Gmail.

If you often or occasionally receive emails in Spanish, Franch, Korean, Japanese, Chinese or other languages that you could not understand. It is probably the best features for you. Google adds the translator toolbar inside gmail this time. In the past, you may do translation in bitter steps such as copy message's sentence in google translator one by one and puzzle them up . Now, you can just need one mouse click to translate and get more accurate translation results. 

However, google achknowledged that this message translation technology is not perfect due to complexity of language's structure and semantics. To install auto translation feature in your Gmail, click on the "Setting" -> go to "Labs" tab -> enable "auto translation" ->save change.

Thus, As a user begineer,  you may need to know only a) How do I install wordpress ? b) How do I get start with wordpress? c) How do I change wordpress themes? d) How do I create a wordpress themes? 

As what I had mentioned broadly, It would take only an hour to learn how to start up a blog site with wordpress. Ok, lets set your watch or countdown clock or whatever. Set and go!!!. Wait a minute, you may download wordpress ( here ):

Oh my god, the 30 days luxury trial period was over :(. what should Peter do now?

Buying a photoshop cs4 license costing about USD750 would not be a best choice, since it cost equivalent to what Peter get per month. Buying or downloading a pirated version also not a good choice, since spy-wares are anywhere and keygen included might be infected. Moreover, Peter's most reliable source "The Pirate Bay" was accused and 4 guys had been sent to jail 2 months ago. This restricts Peter going no where to download from file sharing method.How do peter keep continue using photoshop? Ohh yes, by extending the trial period. This would be the most safety and secure ways.

After searching across three languages and a dozen of websites and blogs. This is what Peter get. In a nutshell, extending Photoshop CS4 free trial can be done by registering a duplicated product serial number and mapping the adobe fault detection engine driver's IPs to your localhost.
