G-20 BRING ON PRESSURES ON PEERS

The G-20 summit that began last night in Pittsburgh marks a new phase of global economics, just as the climate summit at the United Nations earlier in the week marked a new phase of global cooperation in environmental policies.

At the end of World War II, the United States was the only economy left standing and alone shaped the global economic agenda. With Europe rebuilt and Japan resurgent, the G-1 (the United States) became the G-7, which included Canada, Europe and Japan. Now the emerging giants, China, India, Brazil and others, have taken their seat at the table.

Americans worry that their waning influence and rising global indebtedness means sinking fortunes, but the G-20 could help to rescue the global prosperity that U.S. political gridlock threatens to squander.

The G-20 forces the U.S. political system to grapple with problems that it has dangerously sidestepped for 30 years. Why are we in a state of economic collapse? Because our policies have been driven by Wall Street lobbyists rather than sound financial regulation. Why are we building a massive debt to China? Because powerful campaign contributors and lobbyists for decades have preferred to put the federal budget into hock rather than pay a prudent level of taxes. Why are we squandering our future by wrecking the climate? Because oil and coal interests have repeatedly trumped the well-being of our children.

The G-20 is important for the United States because the rest of the world is pushing for real answers to these problems. It is the rest of the world pushing for limits on bankers' compensation, not as a populist ploy, but as a proper attempt to tame financial risk-taking and take back the economy and politics from the banking lobby. It is the rest of the world warning that the fate of the U.S. dollar depends on America getting its budget back under control. And it is the rest of the world warning the U.S. Senate that time has run out for obfuscation on climate change. It would be one thing for the United States to wreck its own climate, say the other countries, but the laws of atmospheric physics mean that the United States is wrecking everybody else's climate as well.

Of course there is nothing pleasant about being lectured from outside. Other countries have recoiled for decades when the United States has lectured them, and many Americans won't like to be on the receiving end. Nationalists will scream at any "concessions" given by President Barack Obama to the other 19 countries, even when those so-called concessions are strongly in the interest of the United States and rest of the world.

The fact is that much of what the other G-20 countries are calling for is fully in line with the reform agenda that Mr. Obama has already put forth, but which is stuck in Congress. As the president himself noted at the United Nations earlier this week, U.S. interests in this interconnected world are best served through closer cooperation and integration of policies.

Political theater aside, there is therefore much to gain by strengthening rather than bashing the G-20 process that has gained force since the Great Financial Crash of 2008. Every one of the G-20 countries must upgrade institutions inherited from the 20th century to meet 21st-century challenges. The G-20 at this point is a motley group of imperfect political systems, none of which functions all that well. Every one of the G-20 can do with more than a little peer review. This is a case where there really could be wisdom in crowds.

The United States certainly should be taken to task for a political system that has fallen prey to shortsightedness and the excessive sway of lobbyists. Yet in Europe, too, banking lobbies have had their play with the politicians and need to be controlled.

China understandably worries about a collapse of the dollar and the losses this would entail on China's $2 trillion of foreign-exchange reserves, but China and its neighbors also need to fix Asia's exchange-rate system to solve long-term currency problems.

And no country or region has been a saint on energy and climate issues. While the United States has been the most negligent, all of the G-20 have tried to hide behind the inactions of others.

In sum, a healthy dose of group problem solving is long overdue.

What should be the G-20 outcome today?

The financial sector should be reined in, with banking bonuses capped and derivatives such as credit default swaps strictly regulated. The United States should signal a future path of reduced budget deficits through a judicious balance of spending limits and tax increases. Asian economic growth should be spurred at home through heavy spending on infrastructure, pollution control and clean-energy systems. The dollar should be encouraged to weaken relative to the Euro and the Asian currencies to cut the huge U.S. trade imbalances and restore jobs in the industrial heartland. And the G-20 should recognize that increased financial support and cooperation with the G-172 (the 172 mostly poorer U.N. members not in the G-20) is in the vital interest of the entire world, rich and poor alike.

We of course won't complete this kind of sweeping readjustment today. Each of the G-20 political systems will continue to lurch under the burdens of domestic interests. The G-20 summit will pass and we in the United States will quickly be back to our divisive debates over health care, energy, taxes and the role of the military.

Yet the G-20 will have served to open a better view of global reality for an America which needs to realize it counts for only 5 percent of the world population, which is increasingly indebted to foreign nations and which has a Congress that turns dangerously inward under economic stress. We should work to strengthen the G-20. The whole world will reap vast benefits if collective global actions pierce through the stifling burdens of powerful vested interests within each of the countries.

FIRST TIME FOR ECONOMICS [INTERSTING READS]

• Writings about Lehman, in the broad Indian discourse, are a reminder of the low quality of the Indian economics discourse. Meghnad Desai looks back at a year after Lehman, in Financial Express. For a person who was in my father's class at M.A., he is remarkably free of socialist cobwebs of the mind. And, for other interesting treatments, see : see: Jayanth Varma in Financial Express, Dhiraj Nayyar in Indian Express, Andy Kessler in Forbes, Avinash Persaud on bankers pay in Financial Express.
• P. Vaidyanathan Iyer in Indian Express on some thinking about the role and function of government agencies in finance that is afoot at MOF. Hmm, I could get used to a Financial Stability and Development Authority.
• Subhomoy Bhattacharjee on India's capital controls and the proposed Bharti/MTN transaction.
• Bibek Debroy on the role and function of the Chief Economic Advisor to MOF.
• Sangeeta Singh and Rahul Chandran have an article in Mint on one of the most important infrastructure projects in India: the Bombay-Delhi freight corridor. It is going to work wonders in establishing the straight line connecting Bombay to Delhi as an axis of prosperity. See the CMIE Capex database on this.
• The `trilemma of the international financial system' in India by Koji Kobayashi of the Mizuho Research Institute.

CURRENCY FUTURES LIQUIDITY

At NSE, currency futures did $1.8 billion yesterday. With this, India is starting to look like the first country where the turnover of the currency futures market is big when compared with the currency forward market.

Turnover is, of course, not liquidity. Liquidity is about the transactions cost faced when transacting. Liquidity comparisons between the OTC market and the futures need to take into account the fact that the OTC market trades bigger contracts. So, let's see what impact cost is visible in the information present on the web, pertaining to closing time (5 PM) on the 22nd. The quantities available at the best five prices are visible on the web. There is surely more available beyond the top five in the book, but you probably don't want to trade at those adverse prices.

Let's focus on 1000 contracts, or $1 million. Based on conversations, I get the sense that the forward market would have impact cost of 0.01% to 0.02% for this transaction size. The graph shows that the NSE contract had smaller numbers than this for both buying and selling.

The futures market seems to be able to serve upto $6 million to a buyer and $2 million to a seller, while suffering reasonable values of impact cost, within the top five prices.

This is admittedly one data point. Late in the day, I noticed a big number for turnover and wondered what was happening to liquidity, so I looked at the `market by price' display visible on the web. But for a currency futures market to beat a currency forward market on liquidity is unusual, even if it is for one data point.

VPN CONFIG

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) allow users working at home, on the road or at a branch office to connect in a secure manner to a remote corporate server using the public Internet. VPN server or host is a computer that accepts VPN connections from VPN clients. A VPN server or host can be a NT/W2K server or W2K/XP Pro. VPN client is a computer that initiates a VPN connection to a VPN server or host. A VPN client can be an individual computer running MS Windows NT version 4.0, Windows 2000, 9x. VPN clients can also be any non-Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) client or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) client using IPSec.

Steps

(1).Basic VPN Requirement

* User Permission. Enable a user to access the VPN. To do this, go to AD Users and Computers, select the user who need to access the VPN, click Dial-in. Check Allow access on the Remote Access Permission (Dial-in or VPN).
* IP Configuration. The VPN server should have a static IP address and assign the arrange IP addresses to VPN clients. The VPN server must also be configured with DNS and WINS server addresses to assign to the VPN client during the connection.
* Data Encryption. Data carried on the public network should be rendered unreadable to unauthorized clients on the network.
* Protocol Support. The TCP/IP is common protocols used in the public network. The VPN also include IP, Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), NetBEUI and so on.
* Firewall Ports. When you place a VPN server behind your firewall, be sure to enable IP protocol 47 (GRE) and TCP port 1723.
* Interface(s) for VPN server. If your network doesn't have a router or the VPN is also a gateway, your computer must have at least two interfaces, one connecting to the Internet and another connecting to the LAN. If it is behind a router, you just need one NIC.
* One interface for VPN client. The interface can be a dial-in modem, or a dedicated connection to the Internet.

(2).Configuring VPN in Windows XP Professional

* For configuring the VPN connection, you need to have a static IP address of the remote computer of your company and the host name. You can configure the VPN connection in Windows XP Professional by the following method.
* Click Start > Control Panel > Click Network and Internet connection > Click Network Connections.
* Here you need to create new connection and click next.
* Here click “Connect to network at my work place” click next.
* Click “Virtual Private Network” and click next.
* Here type the meaningful name for your company or any other network connection and click next.
* Here click “Do not dial the initial connection and click next.
* Here type the hostname and the IP address of the computer to which you want to connect.
* Press next and then press finish.

#

(3).Installing VPN in Windows 2000 Professional

* Make sure that you are connected to the internet and you are also connected to the LAN.
* Start > Administrative Tools > Routing and Remote Access.
* Click the server name in the tree and on the action menu click Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access and click next.
* Click Virtual Private Network (VPN Server) in the common configurations and click next.
* In the remote client protocols, make sure that the TCP/IP is included in the list. Click yes to all available protocols and click next.
* Select the Internet connection that will connect to the internet in the internet connection box and click next.
* Select the Internet connection that will connect to the internet in the internet connection box and click next.
* In the “Managing Multiple Remote Access Server select this option “No, I don’t want to setup this server to use Radius Server Now. Click Next > Click Finish.
* Now right click on the Ports node and click properties now click WAN mini port (PPTP) and then click configure.
* Type the maximum number of the allowed simultaneous PPTP VPN connections to this server.
(4).Configuring VPN Connection in the Client Computer

* Start > Settings > Network and dialup connection.
* Make new connection.
* Click next and then click connect to a private network through Internet.
* Click Automatically Dial this initial connection and select your dial up internet connection from the list.
* If you use cable modem then select “Do not dial this initial connection”.
* Click next.
* Here type the host name and the IP address of the remote computer to which you want to connect.
* Type the descriptive name of the connection and click next.

Tips

* If your VPN client cannot find servers or cannot ping computernmae, you may need to add DNS and WINS into your VPN server. For example, to add DNS and WINS on a Cisco Firewall PIX, add vpdn group 1 client configuation dns dnsservername and vpdn group 1 client configuration wins winsservername.
* If you have Windows 2003 server as VPN server, you can assign a static IP under user's properties. If you use other Windows OS as VPN server, you may want to create a DHCP reservation.
* If you are running w2k/xp pro setup for a domain controller, you will have a option to "log on using dial-up connection" on logon screen after creating a VPN/dial-up connection. In the Log On to Windows dialog box, the user can select the Log on using dial-up connection check box. After clicking OK, the user is prompted to choose a network connection.

LOGGING INTO ADMISTRATOR WITHOUT PRIVILEGES

The following method will allows you to access any local account including Administrator’s on any Windows 2000 or Windows XP machine. The best thing about this trick is that you don’t have to mess around with password. So, Administrator will never know that anyone else has accessed his account. The following tool will create a god like password which can be used to login to any account. The only thing you’ll need is a CD or DVD-ROM drive.

You need to download a tool called DreamPackPL. It turns off the password protection features in Windows XP, thereby allowing you to log into any account. It’s a ready to burn ISO (4MB only). I do hope you know how to burn a CD. Follow the steps:

1. Burn the ISO into a CD-ROM.
2. Boot the system making the CD-ROM as first boot option in BIOS.
3. Boot from the CD.
4. A windows installation console will come up. Press R then C.
5. Backup your original sfcfiles.dll by typing:
“ren C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll sfcfiles.lld” (without quotes)
6. Copy the hacked file from CD to system32 folder. Type:
“copy H:\i386\pinball.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\sfcfiles.dll” (without quotes and assuming your CD drive is H:)
7. Now type exit, reboot.
8. When you reach the logon screen, enter dreamon as the username or password.
9. The options window will open, there is a setting called God-Password, enable it and type the God Password there.
Dreampackpl Settings
10. Now for any account, type the password which you have set in previous step to login.

Spliting Large Files Into Small Files

If you want to share a video or other file, that seems to be too large to upload, you can use a couple of programs to split the file into smaller parts that can be joined later.

Split Files Using Winzip :

One way is using a Zip utility program, such as WinZip. The following information applies to WinZip. If you are using a different program, refer to its help files if you are unsure how to proceed. To split a Zip file into smaller pieces:
1. Open or create the Zip file.
2. Choose Split from the Actions menu.
3. Specify the name to be used for the split Zip file. The name must be different from the name of the open Zip file.
4. Specify the size to be used for the individual parts. You can choose from common sizes using the Part size drop-down list or you can specify your own size. To specify your own size, choose "Other size" in the drop-down list and type the desired size in the Other size field. You can specify the size in bytes, kilobytes (KB), or megabytes (MB); indicate which you're using by clicking the appropriate radio button. For uploading to sendspace, make sure you make the split files less than 300MB each.
5. Click OK to create the split Zip file.



Split Files Using Winrar :

Another program you can use, is WinRar. Right-click on the folder or file you want to split, then choose "Add to archive". A new window pops up, and then you can choose the archive format - RAR or Zip. Zip is a format that can compress the file size a little, but if you want to split the file into a couple of files, you`d better choose RAR. You can also set the compression method (normal will take more time than fastest, for instance) and the most important thing here is "Split to volumes, bytes". Best size for the parts is 100MB - 98 078k - ZIP 100 because you can upload every part without worrying whether it`s bigger than the upload limit, besides it`s most convenient to download. Click "Ok" and wait till the big files is split into 100MB parts.



Here is a list of some freewares to split large files into smaller ones.

1. Rapid Split :


Rapid Split is an easy-to-use, wizard-based file splitting software with step-by-step assistance in splitting process. It enables you to split files of all types into pieces that can be stored on removable storage media such as floppy disk and zip disk.It allows you to specify the file either split by size or number of pieces and you can also use the predefined sizes for common removable storage media. This software has drag-and-drop functionality and command line operation

2. GSplit :

GSplit is a powerful file splitter that lets you split your large files into a set of smaller files called pieces. These pieces are easier to copy to floppies, distribute over the Internet or through E-mail, share with friends or colleagues, archive to Zip disks or CDs. The pieces can be easily combined, using the generated Self-Uniting Executable, that automatically restores the original file for you without requiring GUnite. GSplit also includes advanced features like different splitting methods CRC32 checks (detects file corruption), splitting logs, keep file information, create specific pieces with your own names and shell integration.
