Today when I logged in to MSN messenger, I was surprised to see an unfinished welcome screen with sample “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur” text. Also the screen said “September 2008″ while it should be “October 2009″. See the attached screen.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. I think welcome screen is published directly from designers PC.

Some times we would like to remove a page from Google so it dose not appear in search result.
Common method used is blocking the page in robots.txt file, but this method is not enough and the page url may still appear in search results. Blocking in robots.txt only tells Google not to crawl the page, but if Google finds any links of this page it will show the page link in results based on anchor text and description.
So Google will not crawl the page but still show it in search results.
Whats the solution? Solution is to let Google crawl this page and use following meta tag
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX">
This above meta tag will ensure that google won’t show that page in search results.
Well MySQL is full featured, one of the most famous and widely used database server. MySQL is open source it means its free. Being a cross platform server its being used for different OS like Linux, Windows, MAC etc. MySQL features include support for views, stored procedures, replication etc etc.
