Heartbleed bug security alert

Internet and Media, News, Techniques
There's nothing users can do until the web services have made their sites secure. The best advice for web users to wait for few days and then change the passwords on the web services you use. For websites, the fix-it involves installing software patches on computers in their data-centres, then swapping out the confidential software key used to secure messages and transactions. Users will largely need to depend on individual sites to notify them about whether the flaw has been addressed. Many major web services, like Yahoo, have already released such notices. It's a good time to review your passwords in general and any kind of formula that can help you to be protected from these types of bugs. The Heartbleed scare, even if it doesn't turn out to hurt…

Windows XP operating system’s Support ends Today

Internet and Media, News
Support for the venerable Windows XP operating system ends this Tuesday. It means that there will be no more official security updates and bug fixes for the operating system from Microsoft. Some governments have negotiated extended support contracts for the OS in a bid to keep users protected. Security firms said anyone else using the 13-year-old software would be at increased risk of infection and compromise by cyber-thieves. Statistics suggest 20-25% of all users have stuck with XP despite the fact that there have been three major releases of Windows since its debut in 2001. Some of those existing XP users have struck deals to get security fixes from Microsoft while they complete their migration away from the ageing code. Anyone currently running Windows XP already faced a disproportionate risk…

How to Create a Child Theme in WordPress?

WordPress
Create a directory in your themes directory to hold the child theme. The theme directory is wp-content/themes. You can name the directory without any space as part of the name, and it is common practice to use the name of the parent theme folder with “-child” appended to it. For example, if you are making a child of the twentyfourteen theme, your folder name would be twentyfourteen-child. In the child theme directory, create a file called style.css. This is the only file required to make a child theme. The style sheet must start with the following lines: [code] /* Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme URI: http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/ Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme Author: John Doe Author URI: http://example.com Template: twentyfourteen Version: 1.0.0 Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready Text…

Why use a WordPress Child Theme?

WordPress
A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the safest and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within. Here are a few reasons: If you modify an existing theme and it is updated, your changes will be lost. With a child theme, you can update the parent theme (which might be important for security or functionality) and still keep your changes. It can speed up development time. It’s a great way to get…

Internet and Media, News, Social Responsibilities, Software Development, Techniques
If you have studied rocket science, NASA would enable you to make your own space craft! From April 10, the US space agency is set to reveal its enormous database highlighting where to find software for more than 1,000 of its projects.

The data can be accessed free of copyright, but special clearance would be needed for anyone who wants to access…
