<description><![CDATA[ System utilities that incorporate multiple functions such as a Registry Cleaner, Junk File Remover,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterevonsoftcomputerrepairfreeoneclicksystem-8eb5computer-repair3.jpg"><img style="border-width:0;margin:0 30px 0 0;" src="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterevonsoftcomputerrepairfreeoneclicksystem-8eb5computer-repair-thumb1.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="161" align="left" /></a> System utilities that incorporate multiple functions such as a Registry Cleaner, Junk File Remover, Privacy Cleanup, and in some applications, even more functionality, can be intimidating to new computer users.</p>
<p>New users are very often unfamiliar with both the technology itself, and the technical terms involved in using this type of application.</p>
<p>While it’s generally true that more advanced users want/need much more control than a one click system utility provides, this type of utility can be the ideal solution for a new user.</p>
<p>Evonsoft Computer Repair is one such advanced system utility for Windows that allows the user to safely remove spyware, clean the registry, sweep for privacy issues, and clean junk files with a single mouse click.</p>
<p><a href="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterevonsoftcomputerrepairfreeoneclicksystem-8eb5evonsoft-12.jpg"><img style="border-width:0;" src="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/windowslivewriterevonsoftcomputerrepairfreeoneclicksystem-8eb5evonsoft-1-thumb.jpg" alt="" width="442" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>According to the developers, with one click, Evonsoft Computer Repair will scan your computer and provide a list of the errors found by the application. You will then have the choice of cleaning each item individually, or allow the application to repair the errors automatically.</p>
<p>In my own testing, I found that the application was extremely fast and that it worked as advertised. I did find however, that the lack of a clear explanation left me feeling slightly uncomfortable. I suspect that more advanced users might also feel the same way.</p>
<p>On the other hand, this lack of explanation might be the very feature that the new user will find most appealing about this application. Most new computer users, in my experience, don’t want to know the details; they just want the job done.</p>
<p><strong>Quick facts:</strong></p>
<p>Scans and removes spyware and adware</p>
<p>Cleans your System and should boost performance</p>
<p>Repairs your PC and keeps it tuned</p>
<p>Very easy to use</p>
<p>Free - no adware, spyware, or viruses</p>
<p><strong>System Requirements:</strong> 32-bit Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and 2003 Server.</p>

<p>With this free program you can tweak, repair, optimize and improve your system’s performance; and its ease of operation makes it ideal for less experienced users.</p>
<p>You can quickly find the tool you’re looking for: spyware scanner, adware blocker, tracks eraser, registry cleaner, startup manager, junk file cleaner and more. New, or inexperienced users, will love the one click system optimizer which analyzes system configuration and suggests changes to optimize performance. Before making any system changes, Advanced WindowsCare Personal, creates a backup copy first, a very important feature.</p>
<p><a href="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/windowslivewriterdc5ab3b36197-b653advanced-windows-care-52.jpg"><img style="border-width:0;" src="http://billmullins.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/windowslivewriterdc5ab3b36197-b653advanced-windows-care-5-thumb.jpg" alt="" width="433" height="480" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Key facts:</strong></p>

I&#8217;ve seen a *lot* of hits on my post &#8220;Visual Studio 2008 Is Pretty Damn Slow…&#8220;,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://willwm.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/2008-08-25-104903.png"><img class="aligncenter" style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://willwm.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/2008-08-25-104903-thumb.png" alt="2008-08-25_104903" width="454" height="181" /></a></p>
<p>I've seen a *lot* of hits on my post "<a href="http://blog.wolffmyren.com/2008/01/30/visual-studio-2008-is-a-steaming-pile-of-crap/">Visual Studio 2008 Is Pretty Damn Slow…</a>", which means that a lot of you are probably still experiencing speed issues with Visual Studio 2008. In regard to this, I thought it might be prudent to post information about the recently released Service Pack 1 for VS2008 and where to find it:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/cc533448.aspx"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://willwm.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/aa700831vs08-ven-usmsdn10.png" alt="aa700831.VS08_v(en-us,MSDN.10)" width="250" height="75" /></a></p>
<h3><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/cc533448.aspx">Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Downloads</a></h3>
<p>Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 significantly improve the developer experience during the development process, and at runtime. These improvements address top issues reported by customers. For more information, see <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/cc533447.aspx">Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Downloads</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E">Visual Studio 2008 SP1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7">.NET Framework 3.5 SP1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F3FBB04E-92C2-4701-B4BA-92E26E408569">Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions with SP1</a></li>

</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Additionally, the original hotfix which was intended to fix the speed issue (and is probably integrated into VS2008SP1) is available here:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Monday! Wait what? Who says that....haha, well I did. Anywho, On Saturday morning, I found a great program that optimizes and speeds up your computer for how much? FREE! Can't beat that price tag. The program is called Speed It Up (version 4.90) This program optimizes your hard drives speed, and cleans up all your internet settings. This program really freed space on my hard drive. I <strong>strongly</strong> recommend this program to anyone who is in need of a quick fix. It does take awhile depending on your PC, but trust me, after it finishes, you'll notice your PC is a lot snappier. Also it has an option where you can speed up your PC when you are away from it. I'll take it! They also throw in a PC Checkup application which also analyzes and cleans up any unnecessary files that are just sitting there. You can download Speed It Up by going to<br />
<a href="http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/System_Maintenance_and_Repair_Utilities/Speed_PC_3X_Faster_Free.html">this link here.</a></p>
<p>From the page:</p>
<blockquote><p>SpeedItUp Free will speed up any computer system running Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista. It works by using New Hard-Disk optimization technology that allows your computer to read data in some cases up to 300% faster from your Hard Drive.</p>
<p>SpeedItup Free then optimizes your RAM and makes other settings to speed up your Internet connection and overall computer performance.</p></blockquote>
<p>300% faster huh? Sounds like a good thing to me. You're welcome. I hope this program is a success for everybody.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are 3 quick and easy ways to clear your computer of unwanted items, software running in the background, and other small tweaks just to get your PC organised and running a bit more smoothly.</p>
<p><strong>1.     Remove unnecessary startup itemsGo to <strong>Start</strong> &#62;&#62; <strong>Run</strong> &#62;&#62; Type "<strong>msconfig</strong>" &#62;&#62; Click OK<br />
Click the <strong>Startup</strong> tab<br />
You will see a list of the programs that start up every time you start your computer<br />
<strong>Uncheck</strong> the items you think you don't need.<br />
Click <strong>OK<br />
</strong><br />
You may restart now or later to see the changes in effect.<br />
If you want to include an item or undo the startup changes you've made, simply follow the above steps again and check the items you want to start with windows.</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p><strong>2.     Remove programs you no longer use<br />
</strong><br />
Open <strong>Control Panel</strong>:<br />
Windows XP: Start &#62;&#62; Settings &#62;&#62; Control Panel<br />
Windows Vista: Start &#62;&#62; Control Panel<br />
Switch to <strong>Classic View</strong> by clicking selecting it on the left panel (if you are not already in Classic View)<br />
Now open the list of installed programs:<br />
Windows XP: Double-click the "<strong>Add or Remove Programs</strong>" icon<br />
Windows Vista: Double-click the "<strong>Programs and Features</strong>" icon<br />
Select the program you want to uninstall and click <strong>Remove</strong> (Vista: Right-click on the application name and select <strong>Uninstall</strong>)Restart your PC if necessary</p>
<p><strong>3.     Organise your Start Menu<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Right-click</strong> on your Start Button (The Widows Logo in Vista) and click <strong>Explore All Users<br />
</strong>Open the "Programs" folder.This is a list of the items in your Start Menu. Here you can delete whatever shortcut items you don't need (for example readme shortcuts). It is also useful to create folders to organise your software such as "Multimedia", "Internet", "Office", "Utilities" then to move your shortcuts into the relevant folders. (To create a folder just Right-click on an empty space &#62;&#62; select "New" &#62;&#62; click "Folder" &#62;&#62; then type the name your require. The less items you have in your Programs folder, the faster your start menu will load.</p>

###If you are going to uninstall a program that you took off of your startup list, RE-CHECK IT BEFORE UNINSTALLING THE PROGRAM, that is important, or it may not uninstall correctly.###<br />
Also, if you are new to this, and don't know what the programs are, just leave them, better safe then sorry.</p>
<p>Removing some larger applications can also increase loading time a bit.<br />
And again, if you aren't sure what you are doing, make sure you stay out of the services tab, and only use the startup tab.</span></p>

<ul>

If your computer has been acting sluggish lately, then WinOptimizer 4 may be just the application you’ve been looking for to restore your system to its optimum performance mode.</p>
<p>In testing, I found that the application was extremely fast, and that it worked as advertised.</p>
<p>The application has sixteen easy-to-use modules that have been designed to increase system performance and stability. For those who prefer a one click solution, a One-Click-Optimization feature has been included which automatically executes the Drive Cleaner, Registry Cleaner and Internet Cleaner functions.</p>

<p>System utilities that include multiple functions such as a Registry Cleaner, Junk File Remover, Privacy Cleanup, and in some applications, even more functionality, can be intimidating to new computer users. New users are very often unfamiliar with both the technology itself, and the technical terms involved in using this type of application.</p>
<p>While it’s true that more advanced users want/need much more control than a one click system utility provides, this type of utility can be the ideal solution for a new user.</p>
<p>Evonsoft Computer Repair is one such advanced system utility for Windows that allows the user to safely remove spyware, clean the registry, sweep for privacy issues, and clean junk files with a mouse click.</p>
<p>According to the developers, with 1 click Evonsoft Computer Repair will scan your computer and provide a list of the errors found by the application. You will then have the choice of cleaning each item individually, or allow the application to repair the errors automatically.</p>
<p>In my own testing, I found that the application was extremely fast and that it worked as advertised. I did find however, that the lack of a clear explanation left me feeling slightly uncomfortable. I suspect that more advanced users might also feel the same way.</p>
<p>On the other hand, this lack of explanation might be the very feature that the new user will find most appealing about this application. Most new computer users, in my experience, don’t want to know the details; they just want the job done.</p>
<p>Evonsoft Computer Repair is compatible with 32-bit Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and 2003 Server.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Quick Facts:</span></p>
<p>* Scans and removes spyware and adware<br />
* Cleans your System and should boost performance<br />
* Repairs your PC and keeps it tuned<br />
* Very easy to use<br />
* Free - no adware, spyware, or viruses</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Przypadek sprawił, że dowiedziałem się iż można z mojej karty Intel 940GML wycisnąć coś więcej. Kolega z pracy podesłał mi <a href="http://www.forum.ubuntu.pl/showthread.php?t=69703">link</a> do forum gdzie opisano jak tego dokonać (Dzięki Michał). <!--more--></p>
<p>Sprawa okazuje się być banalna. Po przeczytaniu całego wątku dowiadujemy się, że trzeba dodać jeden wpis <code>INTEL_BATCH="1"</code> w pliku <code>/etc/environment</code>. Podobno powinien być jeszcze zainstalowany pakiet <code>sudo apt-get install 915resolution</code>. W efekcie użycia tego triku uzyskałem przyśpieszenie około 200 fps.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Kể từ khi version đầu tiên của Mozilla Firefox 1.5 xuất hiện, vị thế độc tôn b]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kể từ khi version đầu tiên của Mozilla Firefox 1.5 xuất hiện, vị thế độc tôn bấy lâu của trình duyệt web Internet Explorer đã bắt đầu có dấu hiệu lung lay. Và mới đây, theo sự so sánh và đánh giá một cách tổng quát của CNET dựa trên 5 tiêu chí then chốt (sự đơn giản trong cài đặt, giao diện đồ họa, khả năng duyệt web theo tab, những tính năng mới được bổ sung, độ bảo mật cùng tốc độ duyệt web), Mozilla Firefox 2.0 đã giành chiến thắng áp đảo Internet Explorer 7 với tỷ số 5-0! Wow!!!<br />
<!--more--><br />
Mặc dù đang là browser có tốc độ thuộc loại nhanh nhất hiện nay, song nếu biết cách thiết lập thông số sao cho phù hợp với cấu hình máy và loại hình kết nối internet mà mình đang sử dụng, bạn còn có thể đẩy tốc độ duyệt web của Mozilla Firefox lên một "tầm cao mới".<b>Cài phiên bản mới nhất</b></p>
<p>Việc đầu tiên bạn cần làm là tải về và cài đặt phiên bản mới nhất Mozilla Firefox từ địa chỉ <a title="Get Firefox" class="notcached" target="_blank" href="http://getfirefox.com">http://getfirefox.com</a><br />
Cần lưu ý, một số extension mà bạn đã cài sẵn cho phiên bản trước đó có thể sẽ không tương thích với version Firefox mới.</p>
<p><b>Thiết lập thông số kết nối tối ưu</b></p>
<p>Sau khi cài xong và khởi động Mozilla Firefox, bạn đưa chuột vào hộp Address, rồi nhập vào dòng lệnh <b>about:config</b><br />
Ngay lập tức, những thông số kết nối ẩn của Mozilla Firefox sẽ hiện ra trong cửa sổ phía dưới. Bạn hãy lần lượt nhập vào hộp trống Filter một vài ký tự đầu có trong tên của từng thông số (được liệt kê trong các bảng bên dưới) để liên kết nhanh đến vị trí của chúng; tiếp đó bấm đôi vào tên của những thông số này rồi thay đổi lại giá trị tối ưu cho chúng giống như trong bảng Value.</p>
<p>1. Máy có cấu hình mạnh, sử dụng ADSL<br />
<img alt="firefox config" border="0" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i42/KID_KTV2K/Soft/tangtocfirefox_hinh1.jpg" /><br />
2. Máy có cấu hình mạnh, sử dụng dial-up modem<br />
<img alt="firefox tips" border="0" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i42/KID_KTV2K/Soft/tangtocfirefox_hinh2.jpg" /><br />
3. Máy có cấu hình yếu, sử dụng ADSL<br />
<img alt="customize firefox" border="0" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i42/KID_KTV2K/Soft/tangtocfirefox_hinh3.jpg" /><br />
4. Máy có cấu hình yếu, sử dụng dial-up modem<br />
<img alt="get firefox" border="0" src="http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i42/KID_KTV2K/Soft/tangtocfirefox_hinh4.jpg" /><br />
Trong bài viết này, máy có CPU từ 1.5 GHz trở lên + RAM từ 512 MB trở lên là có cấu hình mạnh, còn lại được xem là cấu hình yếu.</p>
<p><b>Sử dụng tiện ích của hãng thứ ba</b></p>
<p>Khá nhiều tiện ích của hãng thứ ba có thể giúp tăng tốc cho Mozilla Firefox. Firefox Preloader, Google Web Accelerator là hai trong số những tiện ích tốt nhất và đặc biệt chúng lại hoàn toàn miễn phí.</p>
<p>- Phiên bản mới nhất của Firefox Preloader 1.0 Build 366 có dung lượng 840 KB, được cung cấp tại một trong hai địa chỉ sau:<br />
<a title="(Not available offline)" class="notcached" target="_blank" href="http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ffpreloader/FirefoxPreloaderSetup.exe">Firefox Preloader</a><br />
<a title="(Not available offline)" class="notcached" target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/ybvolo">http://tinyurl.com/ybvolo</a><br />
Không chỉ cải thiện đáng kể tốc độ khởi động cho Mozilla Firefox, Firefox Preloader còn có khả năng tự động kích hoạt Mozilla Firefox ngay khi bạn khởi động vào Windows. Sau khi quá trình cài đặt hoàn tất, bạn sẽ thấy biểu tượng của Firefox Preloader luôn xuất hiện trên khay đồng hồ hệ thống.</p>
<p>- Phiên bản mới nhất Google Web Accelerator 0.2.67.85 có dung lượng 1.42 MB, được cung cấp tại một trong hai địa chỉ sau:<br />
<a title="(Not available offline)" class="notcached" target="_blank" href="http://dl.google.com/webaccelerator/GoogleWebAcceleratorSetup.msi">Google Web Accelerator</a><br />
<a title="(Not available offline)" class="notcached" target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/yc2dxk">http://tinyurl.com/yc2dxk</a><br />
Đây là phần mềm sử dụng công nghệ prefetch để tăng tốc độ duyệt web cho Mozilla Firefox được thiết kế bởi gã khổng lồ Google, tuy nhiên nó chỉ hiệu nghiệm với những máy sử dụng kết nối băng thông rộng như ADSL hay cable modem.</p>
<p>Sau khi cài đặt, bạn sẽ thấy biểu tượng chiếc đồng hồ của Google Web Accelerator nằm trên khay đồng hồ cũng như trên thanh trạng thái của Mozilla Firefox. Bạn bấm phải chuột vào nó và chọn dòng lệnh Preferences. Trong cửa sổ trang web mở ra, tại mục Internet Connection, bạn đánh dấu ở 1 trong 2 tùy chọn tương ứng với loại hình kết nối internet mà mình đang sử dụng là DSL hoặc Cable Modem/T1. Tại mục Cached Pages, bạn hãy đánh dấu luôn ở tùy chọn Never check for newer versions nhằm giúp Google Web Accelerator hoạt động với công suất tối đa. Xong, bấm nút Save Preferences để lưu lại thông số đã thiết lập.</p>
<p>Bạn sẽ thấy tổng thời gian tiết kiệm được từ khi sử dụng Google Web Accelerator luôn hiển thị bên cạnh biểu tượng của nó trong giao diện của Mozilla Firefox.</p>
<p><b>Lưu ý</b></p>
<p>Muốn tăng tốc độ tải file hơn nữa cho Mozilla Firefox, bạn hãy cài thêm cho nó extension có tên DownThemAll! bằng cách truy cập vào địa chỉ <a title="(Not available offline)" class="notcached" target="_blank" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201</a><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img src="https://www.opendns.com/img/footer_logo.gif" style="float:left;" />OpenDNS là dịch vụ DNS (Domain Name System) cung cấp cho người dùng internet địa chỉ DNS giúp bạn truy cập web nhanh chóng, dễ dàng và an toàn hơn bao giờ hết.</p>
<p align="justify">Những tính năng ưu việt của OpenDNS so với DNS thông thường:</p>
<p align="justify">1. An toàn hơn: OpenDNS có khả năng nhận diện các trang phishing có ý đồ xấu muốn lấy cắp thông tin cá nhân hay lừa đảo để lấy tiền của bạn. Chức năng này hoạt động không tùy thuộc vào hệ điều hành hay trình duyệt mà bạn đang sử dụng. Khi vào 1 trang phishing bạn sẽ nhận được cảnh báo như hình trên.<br />

2. Nhanh hơn: Máy tính của bạn cần dùng đến DNS khi bạn truy cập vào một website nào đó hay gửi đi một email chẳng hạn. Có 2 yếu tố chính làm cho DNS trở nên nhanh hơn, đó là bộ nhớ cache lớn và hệ thống mạng tốt. OpenDNS có hệ thống cache rất lớn đặt tại các giao điểm của mạng internet. Điều này thực sự làm tăng tốc độ duyệt web của bạn lên rất nhiều.3. Thông minh hơn: Thông thường, khi bạn gõ sai địa chỉ web thì trình duyệt sẽ không thể truy cập trang web đó được. Nhưng với OpenDNS thì khác. Khi bạn gõ sai tên miền, ví dụ như yahoo.cmo hay google.mco thì OpenDNS sẽ tự động chỉnh lại cho đúng thành yahoo.com và google.com. Nếu một khi OpenDNS không sửa lỗi được khi bạn gõ sai thì nó sẽ hiển thị lên các kết quả tìm kiếm các trang có tên miền gần giống như vậy để bạn có thể dễ dàng lựa chọn.</p>
<p align="justify">4. Những lợi ích khác khi sử dụng OpenDNS:</p>
<p align="justify">- Hoàn toàn miễn phí.</p>
<p align="justify">- Dễ sử dụng. Bạn chỉ cần thiết lập cấu hình DNS 1 lần duy nhất để nó hoạt động mãi. Nếu không thích dùng OpenDNS nữa bạn cũng có thể dễ dàng trở về thiết lập như ban đầu.</p>
<p align="justify">- Không cần cài đặt bất cứ phần mềm nào.</p>
<p align="justify">- Có thể chạy trên mọi hệ điều hành, mọi trình duyệt web.</p>
<p align="justify">Cấu hình OpenDNS như thế nào?</p>
<p align="justify">Bạn có thể cấu hình OpenDNS theo 2 cách: cấu hình trong router hoặc trong máy tính. Bạn vào trang http://www.opendns.com/start/ để chọn loại router hay hệ điều hành của mình để cấu hình cho chính xác. Có khá nhiều loại router được hỗ trợ như 2Wire, Apple, Belkin, Buffalo, D-Link, Linksys, Motorola... Nếu bạn không có router thuộc vào những loại đã liệt kê thì có thể làm theo hướng dẫn chung cho mọi router ở trang http://www.opendns.com/start/router.php.</p>
<p align="justify">OpenDNS còn hoạt động tốt trên cả các máy có tính năng duyệt web sử dụng Windows Mobile hay PalmOS.</p>
<p align="justify">Nếu bạn đang dùng hệ điều hành Windows XP thì làm theo hướng dẫn sau:</p>
<p align="justify">- Vào Start menu, chọn Control Panel.</p>
<p align="justify">- Nhấp đúp vào Network Connections.</p>
<p align="justify">- Nhấp chuột phải vào kiểu kết nối của bạn trong Network Connections, chọn Properties.</p>
<p align="justify">- Chọn Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) và click vào Properties.</p>
<p align="justify">- Trong cửa sổ hiện ra, bạn chọn mục “Use the following DNS server addresses” và gõ vào 2 khung “Preferred DNS server” và “Alternate DNS server” các địa chỉ sau:</p>
<p align="justify"><b>208.67.222.222 </b></p>
<p align="justify"><b>208.67.220.220 </b></p>
<p align="justify">- Nhấn OK để lưu cấu hình lại.</p>
<p align="justify">Sau khi đã thiết lập DNS server xong rồi, bạn truy cập vào http://welcome.opendns.com/ để kiểm tra xem đã thiết lập đúng chưa. Nếu được cấu hình đúng thì bạn sẽ thấy xuất hiện thông báo chào mừng đến với OpenDNS.</p>
<p align="justify">Hy vọng rằng với thủ thuật nhỏ này, OpenDNS sẽ giúp bạn lướt web nhanh chóng, tiện lợi và an toàn hơn bao giờ hết.</p>
