How to Win the Lottery Every Time
The lottery has been called a fool’s game because people believe that it is impossible to swing the odds in your favour. This is not entirely the truth, there are some ways to increase you chances of winning . Though it is near impossible to win the lottery every time, it can be won. You only need to win it once to make it worthwhile and to be set up for life.
By purchasing the cheapest ticket available you are going to have anywhere between a one in two hundred thousand chance and a one in 50 million chance of winning the big prize. These are not amazing odds and you need to improve on these odds if you are going to have any chance of winning anything.
Here are some tips on how to win more often:
Choose The Numbers That Come Up More Often
On all major lotto websites they will have a list of the 10 numbers that have come up the most often in the last XX amount of draws. By choosing these numbers you can seriously increase your chances of winning. For example, in the UK the number 38 has been drawn 74 times more than any other ball. Now that sounds like some good odds. Bet on these numbers and you are likely to increase your chances of winning.
Choose The Numbers That Come Up Less Often
The major lotto websites will also show the 10 numbers that have appeared the least. Many people believe that betting on these numbers will increase your chances of winning. Because these numbers have not come up very often in previous draws then, some believe, they are more likely to come up in future draws. Maybe you could bet on both the numbers that come up the most often and the numbers that come up the least often
Keep The Same Numbers Each Week
By keeping the same numbers each week it is likely that you are increasing your chances of winning. If your numbers do not come up one week then it is likely next week you will have more luck. This is because, over time, all the numbers will tend to appear at the same rate. So if they haven’t been drawn one week then it is expected that they will be drawn in one of the following weeks
Play The Same Systems Numbers Each Week
Instead of just playing the standard 6 numbers (in most lotteries they have 6 numbers) play a systems. Systems is where you choose multiple numbers, such as 7, 8, 9 or 10 numbers, and then you need to get 6 out of those 7, 8, 9 or 10 numbers to win. By using the same systems numbers each week you are dramatically increasing your chances of winning the lotto. Make sure you keep the same numbers every week though. The more money you are willing to spend the more numbers you can purchase increasing your chances dramatically.
These are just the basic tips on how to win the lottery more often. It can be difficult to win but if you know how to increase your chances then you can win more often and you can come out on top. Good luck

How To Configure Wireless Internet Access For Your Laptop
Here’s what you need to know (and do) to connect your laptop to a wireless network and get Internet access.
First off, let’s talk common sense. Before you access any wireless network, especially one in a public place, you must have anti-virus software installed and up-to-date on your laptop. Your laptop should also be current with all Windows Operating System Updates.
That said, the next thing you need is to have a laptop with wireless networking capabilities. If you’re not sure whether yours does, do the following to check it out:
Click on Start | Connect To | Show all connections, or
Click on Start | Settings | (Control Panel) | Network Connections
Under “LAN or High-Speed Internet” you should see a wireless connection icon. (If not, see below about installing a wireless network card).
Assuming you have wireless capabilities, continue on doing the following:
Right-click on the wireless connection icon.
In the pop-up menu, select “View Available Wireless Networks.”
In the “Wireless Networking Connection” window, click on the appropriate wireless network.
Check the box that says “Allow me to connect to the selected wireless network.”
An icon in the lower right hand corner of your desktop should eventually appear stating that you are connected.
Open your browser and visit any website you want. If authentication is required on the wireless network, you will be redirected automatically to a login page where you’ll have to log in using an approved Network User Name/ID and the correct password.
That’s all it takes.
Note: If your laptop does not already have built-in wireless networking, you will need to purchase and install, or have installed, a Wireless Networking Card. There are many brands of wireless networking cards. Just make sure you buy a card that is 802.11b or 802.11g compatible. Linksys cards are an excellent choice and I recommend them highly. If you choose another brand, be certain that the card is WiFi Certified. (For a list of 802.11b and 802.11g certified cards, please visit the WiFi Alliance website.)
How to Permanently Delete Files – Using Windows Secret Built-In Tool
You may or may not know that when you drag items to the trash on your computer, they aren’t permanently deleted. Just watch an episode of your favorite CSI show, and you’ll see that its possible to recover files that haven’t been deleted properly. And while I’m sure you’re not guilty of any CSI type crimes (or are you?), I’m sure you want to figure out how to permanently delete your files and keep your private things private — after all everyone has to have some secrets!
Why emptying your recycling bin doesn’t permanently delete your files
When you tell your computer to empty its recycling bin, your operating system only deletes the records it has of the files you want to delete. Yet the files still remain on the hard drive memory.
Here’s an analogy: If you think of your files as books in a library and you decide you no longer have use for a certain book. Emptying the trash is equivalent to removing the entry in the library’s card catalog. The book is still there but not easily found by everyday visitors. But if someone really wanted to find it, and had a clue where to look, they quite possibly do so since it is still physically there.
What it means to permanently delete a file
To permanently delete a file, you need to not only delete its record, but also overwrite the physical portion of the hard drive where it lives. A low level format is equivalent to replacing your private file with random bits (1′s and 0′s). Continuing with the library analogy you need to remove remove the book, shred it, light up in flames and possibly replace it with a different book
A simple way to permanently delete?
According to Microsoft, there is a keyboard shortcut in Windows to, quote, “permanently delete files”. You do this by selecting your file and hitting SHIFT+DEL. Convinced? Neither am I. What they’re really explaining is a shortcut from having to move the item to the trash and then emptying the trash.
Take it a step further
Here’s a poor man’s version of permanent deletion. Delete your files, empty your recycle bin, and run Disk Defragmenter located in the Start menu under Accessories/System Tools. What this will do is optimize your hard drive by rearranging (most) of your files, and in doing so will most likely overwrite the files you want permanently deleted. Nice!
Do it right and do it better
While performing a defragmentation will probably do the trick, it’s really not a viable solution. Waiting for disk defragmentation is not something I’d do every time I wanted to do a permanent deletion. The defragmentation process is way too long. The right way to how to permanently and quickly delete files is to use a program specifically designed for that purpose. You’re in luck too because most Windows operating systems have a command line tool called CIPHER to do the trick!
Here’s how to use CIPHER:
1. After closing all windows, open up a command window.
2. Type the following: cipher /w:�driveletter:�foldername where driveletter and foldername correspond to the drive a location of where your deleted file used to live.
3. Sit back and enjoy your freedom and privacy while your file is truly permanently deleted!
Here’s an example:
I have a picture I want permanently deleted which stored on my computer at the following location:
C:�images�scandalous_picture.jpg
After deleting this picture and emptying the recycle bin, I would type the following (in a command prompt) to ensure that I can still run for senator (as long as they don’t catch me in the airport bathroom):
C:>cipher /w:C:�images
I can then move on to my life of privacy and carefree surfing!
You can do better!
Although I’m comfortable working with the command prompt, you may not be. No worries, there are plenty of other graphical based software tools that perform true permanent file deletion — not to mention they are much less tedious to use. The review at freedback.org/Reviews/Software/Permanently-Delete-Files.html gives a good overview of some of the most popular graphic-based file deletion software available.
Computer Viruses – How To Detect, Remove And Prevent Them
Today I want to talk a little about the dreaded computer virus. The goal of this article is to teach you, the home user, the fundamental skills needed to help detect, remove, and most importantly prevent viruses from infecting your computer. As the owner of a computer consulting business, I have seen 1st hand how much damage computer viruses can do. To help protect yourself from a virus attack, it will be necessary to understand exactly what a virus is. A virus is essentially a software program designed with malicious intentions, to copy itself and spread from one computer to another. What makes a virus so dangerous is what they are designed to do.
A virus, once installed on your computer, can easily corrupt or delete data from your computer. This can be anything from your latest Word document to the irreplaceable pictures of your loved ones. We will get into exactly what a virus can do later in this article. Now that you have an idea of what a virus is and what it can do to your computer, lets discuss how your computer gets infected. I have heard countless times from people, ” But I did not open any email attachments, how can I be infected?” While it is true that a majority of viruses are hidden within email attachments, they can also be downloaded into our computers in the form of images, videos, or even instant messages. I have personally removed a virus from Cd’s, jump drives, and floppy disks.
Lets talk about ways to help protect your computer from viruses. To protect your computer from these threats it is vital that you have an anti virus program installed and up to date. I have seen many times in the field computers that have anti virus programs but still are infected with a virus. Let me point out that not all anti virus programs are equal. I will not discuss in this article which anti virus program you should or should not use however email me and I will be happy to help you in that aspect. Your anti virus program will do you little good if you do not keep your definitions up to date. New virus are being identified all the time so it is vital to keep your anti virus program up to date on the latest threats. Another proven method is to use a firewall.
A firewall is essentially software or hardware that is designed to filter out information that is being sent to or from your computer. Think of a firewall as a Guard at the end of your driveway, before anyone enters your home they must first pass a set of rules or security checks you have given before they are allowed to enter your home. Some of the software-based firewalls include Norton Internet Security, Zone Alarm and Trend Micro. You may be using a hardware firewall and not even know it. If you have a LAN (Local area network) then chances are you have a router of some kind. Most routers come built in with a firewall, which is very effective at protecting your computer from viruses. Another technique used to help prevent viruses is to keep your computer up to date. If you are using a windows based PC, check Windows Update often for any security patches that are released.
Do not open email attachments if you do not know the sender, this is asking for trouble. Lets move on to identifying infected computers. As a PC technician, it is my responsibility to quickly identify the signs of virus infections. Computers with virus infections will often show some of the following symptoms. Please note, that the issues listed below may be caused by several problems, such as spyware, and are not specific to viruses. Your computer may be slow to start or shut down. You may be missing data on your hard drive or, in worst case scenarios, lose all data on the drive. You may experience strange error messages or you computer will shut down unexpectedly. Your fonts may be distorted and overlap or you may experience difficulties in printing.
These are just some examples of the harm viruses can do. Now the most difficult part, removal. This is a topic worthy of its own article as there are many different procedures in virus removal. I will discuss with you the very basics. If you think you are the victim of a virus do a thorough scan of your computer. It may also be beneficial if you scan your hard drive while in safe mode. This is usually accomplished by tapping F8 at start up, but refer to your computer’s manual for instructions to be certain.
If you do not have an anti virus program, first thing to do is get one! In the meantime you may use the services of an online virus removal tool. Many of the popular anti virus programs offer this service. My intent of this article was to help inform you of the dangers virus threats can pose, as well as giving you the knowledge to help detect, remove and prevent these threats. I hope I have accomplished this, and you can walk away after reading this article, feeling more confident of your abilities to protect your computer from virus threats.
