ip to proper site
I was just wondering. If someone someday hacks your site and redirect the traffic to another site. Is it easy to regain control of the ip address so that people looking for you will successfully reach your site?

Microsoft wants me to change sign-in ID
This morning as I woke up, I found my internet connection idle. This sometimes happen, I think it’s China Netcom’s way of preventing you from making continuous downloads of files overnight or something similar.

Triker lor HSC
Just saw on the orange.mu website that students cheated on their HSC exams, for at least 3 subjects. It was only a question of time before such things would happen.
