me in the group
It was unexpected at all for me to even go to a beautiful beach called Pulau Perhentian in Terengganu with my parents. The journey was by car,well my dad's brand new car. The journey too us almost 7 hours because we did a couple of stops. Of course i have to drive most of the way since my dad easily gets tired(getting old). When i reach the d island by a police boat, basically me and my family were tired. The moment i eyes captured the beauty of the island, the crsytal clear water with colourful fishes and other sea creatures, the fine sand soft as a cushion, i was energized straight away. Well not to say there were many hot chicks there from all over the world. I mean getting to know the culture of others on that island. At that timme around there were many tourist and i could say that i was the only local there. The next thing caught my interest was diving as i saw people in the gears went to the ocean. My interest was in any adventures activities, so i didn't want to miss this opportunity and went for the diving course. This course requires training, mental and physical determination to proceed. I had to study first and do exams to ensure i understand the procedures, safety tips, precaution and know important do's and don't while diving. It was a three days crash course for me.

Legal issues

The term 'legal P2P file sharing services' is a redundant one, since all fire sharing services are legal. It is the use to which they are put that is sometimes illegal - rather more than 'sometimes' in most cases. That, however, no more makes the platform illegal than ticket cheaters make rail travel illegal. Are radio transmissions illegal because they can be recorded for personal use? Of course not! Are video recorders illegal to own just because they can be used to record copyrighted work illegally? Of course not! Is the software that allows people to copy articles from article directories illegal, or even the directories themselves? Again, of course not. Then why is P2P file sharing software is illegal? Why is it that so many advertising agencies look down on P2P software so much that they will not allow their adverts to be placed upon websites promoting such software or enabling file sharing to take place? The majority won't even allow adverts for peer to peer sites or for the software involved. This appears to be a reaction based upon personal opinion and not the true legal situation. It is not illegal to use P2P software, and both paid and free peer to peer software is legal. The same is true of P2P services that don't urge visitors to break copyright law. There are not many differences between free P2P software and membership services. The benefits of paying a lifetime membership fee include accelerated download speed, improved search facilities, information about the quality of the download options, support and optional file storage as compared to the raw free source Gnutella software. Who is going to wait several hours when it can be done in one or two? Paid sites do not come with the spyware and addware that free ones often contain. Using free file sharing software can be dangerous and very costly, and the cost of a lifetime membership is minimal compared to the cost of a repair or even a new laptop. Sure, a fine can be very costly, but only if it can be proved that you have broken the law. It is illegal to download copyrighted audio and video files, and that is inarguable by anyone. It cannot be argued that downloading unprotected movies, games and music is illegal, and much of it has been produced and put online precisely for that purpose: to be downloaded so that the artiste becomes better known and sells more of his or her work once it is known. How does it get known? Only by being played and listened to. Here are some reasons why free P2P file downloading is regarded a useful tool by many budding new singers and movie-makers: 1. To have their name associated with a specific style of music or movie genre. 2. To determine the reaction of the public to new movies or tunes. If initial reactions to the free P2P downloads are favorable, then a full version might be considered worth recording. 3. To determine how the public react to novel ideas in making movies. 4. To enable amateur movie-makers and singers to get public reaction to their work before deciding to go to the expense of shooting a whole movie, or recording an album. Launching new talent can be extremely costly, and this form of market reseasrch is extremely valuable for the industry, whether professional or amateur. Yet the movie moguls and music pros want to stop them from doing so. I wonder why. . . Agreed, many movies and music tracks are illegally downloaded, but don't get over-excited about it. These are the same guys that will say nothing if kids listen a to rack on their album, and then buy the album because they liked the preview. That is where they make a large proportion of their income. Agreed, it is wrong to download copyrighted material, but court is not necessarily the best way to deal with it, especially when done by fans and not for profit. Why do they prosecute the kids and their moms and leave the big boys alone - the ones that download copyright-protected tracks and movies and make milions by selling them on pirated DVDs and CDs. Too difficult? Leave the kids and their poor moms alone and get after the professionals - or are they unable to be as clever as the Chinese and beat them at their own game? P2P file sharing is not illegal. Free P2P sites are not illegal. Downloading and copying movies, games and music that is protected by copyright law is illegal. Stop banning what is not illegal and target what is: marketing untold thousands of CDs, DVDs and games andelling them to kids on street corners or flea markets that could easily download their own copyright-free material were they permitted to do so - in fact exactly what P2P software was designed to do.

    The Host

  1. The host is broadly defined as a computer that has more content uploaded than downloaded. Because there is no controlling or moderating serves, P2P sharing programs rely on voluntary host users to upload content from there computer they are willing to share. Some programs automatically search for and upload content from host users.
  2. The Leech

  3. A leech is someone who downloads more files than they upload. Leeches often contribute some of their bandwidth to the P2P service to help contribute to the service. Leaches generally outnumber hosts on most P2P services by wide margins, sometimes as large as 5:1.
  4. Local Connections are Formed

  5. Because P2P networks do not involve a controlling server, connections between different host and leech parties are formed directly. The connection speeds can vary between parties, and will largely depend on how congested the P2P network is.
  6. File Sharing Programs

  7. There are many different P2P programs that are free to download, including Morpheus, EMule, Gnutella and WinMX. Most of these programs do not limit what users can contribute to the network, however it is very important not to share copyrighted material such as music, videos, or images that you might usually pay for.

About p2p network

Share uses encryption to hide the identity of who is transferring or what they are transferring. It is non-centralized so it cannot be easily shut down and it supports multiple source "swarm" downloading. All files are transferred encrypted so they must be decrypted upon download completion. In the meantime they are stored in encrypted form in a "Cache" folder. This folder is also used to allow your recently downloaded files to be shared among the network based on priorities.When a new version of Share becomes available, users are given a notice in the Share statusbar. When this happens, users can search for the new version on the share network and download it from a reliable source based on Trip. This internal method of distribution makes it hard to find a copy of the software outside of the (presumed safely anonymous) Share network, since offering this software publicly could lead to unwanted attention from law enforcement agencies.

Sumthing to know about me

me and my family
How do i start? Hurm....My name is Syafiq Bin Ahamad Zufami.  I'm the only child in my family and currently studying in UITM in Malacca town. Well as the only child normally people would think that i can get all i want and have an easy life. I do admit i may get sum extra,but the responsibility i carry on my shoulders are not easy to handle at all. Firstly i have to meet up to my parents expectation. Second i dun have siblings to turn to or could help me in the future. It's sure lonely becoming me. Blending in is hard for me, but till now i think i did a good job of surviving.My dad works as a policeman so imagine the drill i get since young. My mom works in the banking sector. That is the reason i am in International Business here in UITM. My true ambition is to become a fighter pilot in the army,but i did not get a yes from my mom because she doesn't wants me in s risky job. So, i took engineering because i thought it's more on hand skills. I studied in UIA back then,it was all theory and my brain is not up for that. Here i am in UITM.I have some experience in working in events,hotels and as a sales promoter. The best experience i had was working at the dolphin show.
