Computer Viruse Information

A computer virus is "a computer program usually hidden within another seemingly innocuous program that produces copies of itself and inserts them into other programs or files, and that usually performs a malicious action (such as destroying data)". Two categories of viruses, macro viruses and worms, are especially common today. Computer viruses are never naturally occurring; they are always man-made. Once created and released, however, their spread is not directly under human control.

  • Macro viruses: A macro is a piece of code that can be embedded in a data file. Some word processors (e.g., Microsoft Word) and spreadsheet programs (e.g., Microsoft Excel) allow you to attach macros to the documents they create. In this way, documents can control and customize the behavior of the programs that created them, or even extend the capabilities of the program. For example, a macro attached to a Microsoft Word document might be executed every time you save the document and cause its text to be run through an external spell-checking program.

    A macro virus is a virus that exists as a macro attached to a data file. In most respects, macro viruses are like all other viruses. The main difference is that they are attached to data files (i.e., documents) rather than executable programs. If you are unable to save a document in Microsoft Word, your computer may have a macro virus.

    Many people do not think that viruses can reside on simple document files, but any application that supports document-bound macros that automatically execute is a potential haven for macro viruses. By the end of the last century, documents became more widely shared than diskettes, and document-based viruses were more prevalent than any other type of virus. It seems highly likely that this will be a continuing trend.

  • Stealth viruses: A stealth virus is one that, while active, hides the modifications it has made to files or boot records. It usually achieves this by monitoring the system functions used to read files or sectors from storage media and forging the results of calls to such functions. This means that programs that try to read infected files or sectors see the original, uninfected form instead of the actual, infected form. Thus the virus's modifications may go undetected by antivirus programs. However, in order to do this, the virus must be resident in memory when the antivirus program is executed, and the antivirus program may be able to detect its presence.

  • Polymorphic viruses: A polymorphic virus is one that produces varied but operational copies of itself. This strategy assumes that virus scanners will not be able to detect all instances of the virus. One method of evading scan-string driven virus detectors is self-encryption with a variable key. More sophisticated polymorphic viruses vary the sequences of instructions in their variants by interspersing the decryption instructions with "noise" instructions (e.g., a No Operation instruction, or an instruction to load a currently unused register with an arbitrary value), by interchanging mutually independent instructions, or even by using various instruction sequences with identical net effects (e.g., Subtract A from A, and Move 0 to A). A simple-minded, scan-string based virus scanner would not be able to reliably identify all variants of this sort of virus; in this case, a sophisticated scanning engine has to be constructed after thorough research into the particular virus.

  • Boot sector viruses: Boot sector viruses infect or substitute their own code for either the DOS boot sector or the Master Boot Record (MBR) of a PC. The MBR is a small program that runs every time the computer starts up. It controls the boot sequence and determines which partition the computer boots from. The MBR generally resides on the first sector of the hard disk. Since the MBR executes every time a computer is started, a boot sector virus is extremely dangerous. Once the boot code on the drive is infected, the virus will be loaded into memory on every startup. From memory, the boot virus can spread to every disk that the system reads. Boot sector viruses are typically difficult to remove, as most antivirus programs cannot clean the MBR while Windows is running. In most cases, it takes bootable antivirus disks to properly remove a boot sector virus.

  • Worms: Worms are very similar to viruses in that they are computer programs that replicate functional copies of themselves (usually to other computer systems via network connections) and often, but not always, contain some functionality that will interfere with the normal use of a computer or a program. The difference is that unlike viruses, worms exist as separate entities; they do not attach themselves to other files or programs. Because of their similarity to viruses, worms are often also referred to as viruses.

  • Trojan horses: Named after the wooden horse the Greeks used to infiltrate Troy, a Trojan horse is a program that does something undocumented which the programmer intended, but that the user would not approve of if he or she knew about it. According to some people, a virus is a particular case of a Trojan horse, namely one which is able to spread to other programs (i.e., it turns them into Trojans too). According to others, a virus that does not do any deliberate damage (other than merely replicating) is not a Trojan. Finally, despite the definitions, many people use the term "Trojan" to refer only to a non-replicating malicious program.

Using Site Search to Read Your Customers' Minds

What is Site Search?

Site search a tool that allows a visitor to search within the contents of a site for specific topics. If I am visiting your site that sells digital cameras, I might enter the model number into the search box or, if I've not yet settled on a specific model, I might type in characteristics of the camera I want. The site search tool would then deliver up pages from your site that are relevant to the keywords searched.

What if you don't have a site search tool?

The good news is you don't have to build a site search application. There are a number of free, open source site search tools in a variety of languages. There are plugins for popular site publishing tools. Many blogs come with site search built into the theme. There are also fee-based third party site search tools that allow for extensive customization.

One simple cheap site search option is Google Site Search (www.google.com/sitesearch/). Google offers up a free version (if you run Google ads) or a paid version (without ads), so don't let cost keep you from getting a site function on your site.

How to leverage your site's search box to read minds ?

Whichever site search tool you chose, be sure that you have a way of capturing the searched keywords so you can review them easily. The easiest way to accomplish this is to integrate the search results into your analytics. If the site search keywords are part of your analytics information, you are much more likely to review the material than if you just archived them on your server and forgot them.

Insights from searched terms :

Once you have your site search integrated into your analytics, you can use your analytics to capture search queries and analyze reports. Here are a few insights you might glean:

  • Understand what people expect from the site.
  • Get ideas for new article topics or product areas for expansion.
  • Identify navigation problems.
  • Find missed opportunities that cause people to leave the site.

Setting up Site Search tracking in Google Analytics :

Most analytics packages make integration easy. For example, with Google Analytics, there is a simple two step process: enable site search and tell Google how to capture the search info.

There are detailed instructions online, but essentially you set up the site search solution of your choice, then edit your Google Analytics profile to enable site search and enter the query parameter into the appropriate box. Once set up, you can then log on to your Google Analytics account and look under the Content section of the Left Nav for Site Search. It has never been so easy to get keyword data direct from the consumer.

How to Cheat Google Adsense

I found one article that is quite interesting and the topic is "How to Cheat Google Adsense". But at the very beginning, I need to say that this is no way you can cheat Google to earn more money from this program. This article only gives a little joke on how to get banned by google indeed. Just read it without following the rules.
You come to this article probably thinking to find some ways to cheat Google, or to confirm whether some method you have on mind will work. Well, if you want to know how to cheat AdSense, here are the ways, focusing on the AdSense click-frauds. These covers from basic AdSense cheating techniques to the advanced class.

1. Basic clicker cheat
This is a noob. This guy knows almost nothing about web technology or network architecture. He clicks on his ads every time he has chance. It can be a few clicks to hundreds of clicks daily. Most likely he doesn’t even read the AdSense Program Policies and Terms and Conditions.

2. Proxy clicker cheat
She knows a thing or two about cookies and IP address. Or she doesn’t know, but somehow guessed that if she use the things called anonymizer, Google will not be able to trace her, because her identity is hidden. She may use anonymizer / proxy websites or specialized anonymous software like tor (The Onion Router).

3. Multiple computer clicker cheat
He knows that somehow Google will detect if the clicks are originated from his own computer. So he will try to even out origin of the clicks. He will recruit his friends, family members, relatives, neighbors, his cats, and his dogs on single mission: to click on the ads. He will also click on the AdSense ads when he is using the library computers, or his office workstation.

4. Software clicker cheat
Graduate to the next step is buyers of clickbots / click-bots. These are specialized robot software to click on AdSense ads. It will browse around your websites, clicking on the ads every few minutes. The more advanced ones will cloak the IP address too, so the website seems to be very popular worldwide. To cover the track, this clickbots will browse around the advertisers sites too while continuing its “click quest”.

5. Paid-clickers cheat
If you don’t like automated things, there is always other option for you. Just pay $50 dollars a month to the professional AdSense clickers. These are groups of highly specialized Internet surfers with office in the dark rooms in street corners of India, Pakistan, and China, helping AdSense account owner to earn good amounts of money ? before the AdSense account is disabled, that is. They will browse around your websites, clicking on the ads every few minutes. Because they use human eyes, they know which ads worth more. And to be more convincing they can click a link or two, or sign up free offers / newsletters on the advertiser sites.

6. Click-rings cheat
Network is power. So says many business gurus. Instead of taking things to their own hand, this people realize that they can join hands with those with similar goals and distribute AdSense clicks among themselves, the so called AdSense click-rings. Joining this click-ring network means that your website address will be made known to members, who will regularly browse the website and click on your AdSense ads. In exchange, you will also browse other members’ sites and click on their AdSense ads. The medium used varies. Some click-ring groups use mail-list for communications. Some are using bulletin boards/forum, Yahoo groups, or Usenet. IRC is another popular way. Slightly more complicated is specialized AdSense exchange software for collecting members website address and displaying others’ websites for clicking.

7. Other medium cheat
I have tens of thousands email address on my newsletter subscriber list. If I include AdSense ads on my newsletters, with 5% CTR, I can get a thousand clicks per one email. Not bad. Or I can pay someone to write some useful/nice/funny/cute toolbars or firefox extensions or screensavers that people can download and use for free, and display my AdSense ads there.

8. Visitor cheat
Simply putting “Visit out sponsors” or “Check out the ads above” on your website is cheating. This might not be very clear-cut cheat to some. But Google AdSense program policies has stated clearly, the only text allowed are “Advertisements” or “Sponsored List”

9. Spam cheat
This is the highest level all click-frauds, the Maestro of Fraudsters. She spams millions of emails regularly, offering to “satisfy your inner needs if you can help me check on the links on my website”. Of course, email is not the only way. What IRC and instant messaging (IM) are for, after all. She will look for unsuspecting victims, offering something too-good-to-be-true “if only they will visit the website and click on the links”.

10. Click-through-rate cheat
Whichever method(s) above used, there is one limiting condition: the CTR(click-though-rate). Any CTR that exceeds certain percentage (probably around 10%) will raise red flag in Google AdSense back room. To lower the CTR, the professional cheaters will create some pages on the same domain that attracts very high traffic. Some interesting freebies will sure do the tricks. AdSense code is pasted there, thus creating a very high page impressions. Whether or not the the ads are clicked does not matter anyway, because they are targeting low paying keyword that does not have much competition. The fake clicks are, of course, on where the big money is, the low traffic pages stuffed with high-paying keywords.


Disclaimer: I don’t say and don’t think that these methods will work. If you even need to read this article, there’s 99.999% chance you will get caught before you can even get your first paycheck. Your AdSense account will be disabled, and you get banned from ever applying for AdSense account again.

Most Costly Computer Mistakes, Small Businesses Make

COMPUTERS can increase productivity, expand a business' bottom line and make molehills out of mountains. However, small to medium-sized businesses commonly make several mistakes that hamper, if not eliminate altogether, the benefits of using today's technology in the workplace. Here are the top five mistakes to watch out for.

Mistake #1:
Purchasing the wrong computer :
Many businesses make this mistake by purchasing the lowest priced computer available. Don't! By purchasing computers based solely on low price, one usually ends up with systems built using sub-standard parts, and which aren't reliable. You may save money on the initial purchase only to end up spending everything you saved, and more, to repair your systems.
Just as bad is spending thousands of dollars for the most expensive system on the market. Usually, you end up with some really nice computers with lots of options that will never get used, or worse, be misused (i.e., employees watching the latest action film on their new DVD Drives on Company time).
I suggest finding a local dealer who specializes in custom-designed business computer systems with a proven reputation. Don't go with the dealer that has the lowest price. Find one willing to make on-site service calls should anything go wrong. A decent, reliable computer system should cost $1,200 to $1,400.
I also recommend small businesses stay away from namebrand computers. These tend to use "proprietary hardware" custom-designed for that company's systems and available only from their factory. This creates a problem if your system fails and you can't get the part for five days or a week. Local dealers generally have replacement parts readily available.

Mistake #2:
Buying computers with unnecessary options :
When purchasing new computers, it's often tempting to get all the latest gadgets. DVD, CD Burners, Serial ATA hard drives, etc. are all great ... but think: What are you going to use your computer for? Word Processing ? E-mail? Customer tracking? Chances are you don't need all those options. A computer for your receptionist, mainly used for typing letters and sending correspondence, definitely doesn't need a CD burner or a DVD drive. You can save a few hundred dollars by leaving these options out. Don't buy the latest high-performance parts if all you're doing is word processing. You won't see much benefit for the cost.

Mistake #3:
Having no backup strategy :
Server crashes happen all the time. More often than not, the business in question has no backup, or the backup they do have is so old it's useless. At the very least, every company should have two backup copies of all of their crucial data. Ideally, I would recommend at least three redundant Backup Systems. Perhaps a tape drive on the server itself, with a second copy made to another server each night and a weekly copy burned to CD or other media. Don't rely on a single backup strategy. Tape Backup systems are great for automatic archival of your data, but tapes break, and sometimes they don't work at all when it comes time to retrieve the information. If your data is important to you, take the time to hedge your bets.
Once you have the backup strategy in place, make sure you use it. Keep an eye on your backup. Periodically try to recover a few files from the backup to see if it's really doing what it's supposed to do. These little tasks are often neglected because they take time away from other seemingly more important and pressing duties. But if you lose all your data, those other duties will be gone, because you may not have a business to run anymore.

Mistake #4:
Purchasing unnecessary software :
According to a recent survey conducted by IT research company Gartner, of 251,626 software licenses purchased for different brands of Customer Relationship Management software, only 146,200 had actually been installed for use. This represents an estimated $1.27 billion spent for unused software, not counting the maintenance contracts.
There can be a number of reasons why software that sounded like a great idea ends up unused. Perhaps the software's too difficult for the employees to use. Maybe during installation it was discovered that the software was incompatible with the network. Before making a major software purchase, ask yourself, "If I buy this, will it ever get installed? Who will install it? Will my employees use it? Who will train them? How long will it take? Will it save me more money than I am spending on it? Is there a software package we already own that can do the same thing?" If you can't answer these questions positively, don't buy the software. Before you buy, ask the vendor for a full working copy for your IT consultant to test. Often there are underlying technical quirks in software packages only an experienced IT professional can recognize. Most software companies won't take back software that has been opened and installed. Find out if it will work before you buy.

Mistake #5:
Not using a professional consultant:
A good IT consultant is worth his or her weight in gold. Take the time to cultivate a longterm relationship with him or her. A good consultant should have service contracts available as an option. Many of the mistakes listed above can be avoided with the help of a consultant. A monthly service call can be arranged to check your security,Anti-virus software backups, etc. Let a pro do it, and it will get done right.
Computers can be a wonderful addition to your business. But in order for them to be of any benefit at all, they must be properly maintained and configured Take the time and invest the money in the beginning to do it right. You will save thousands of dollars and get the most out of your company's computer investment.

IBM Scientists Build Computer Chips From DNA

Scientists at IBM are experimenting with using DNA molecules as a way to create tiny circuits that could form the basis of smaller, more powerful computer chips.

The company is researching ways in which DNA can arrange itself into patterns on the surface of a chip, and then act as a kind of scaffolding on to which millions of tiny carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles are deposited. That network of nanotubes and nanoparticles could act as the wires and transistors on future computer chips, the IBM scientists said.

For decades chip makers have been etching smaller and smaller patterns onto the surface of chips to speed performance and reduce power consumption. The fastest PC chips today are manufactured using a 45 nanometer process, but as the process dips below 22 nanometers in a few years, the assembly and fabrication of chips becomes far more difficult and expensive, said Bob Allen senior manager of chemistry and materials at IBM Research.

The new technique builds on work done several years ago by Paul Rothmund, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology, who figured out that DNA molecules can be made to "self-assemble" into tiny forms such as triangles, squares and stars. The approach takes advantage of DNA's natural ability to incorporate large amounts of complex information that can be applied to different types of activities.

To make a chip, the scientists first create lithographic templates -- the patterns from which circuits are made -- using traditional chip making techniques. After, they pour a DNA solution over the surface of the silicon and the tiny triangles and squares -- what the scientists call DNA origami -- line themselves up to the patterns etched out using lithography.

The IBM scientists, working with Rothmund, then figured out how to layer millions of nanotubes or nanoparticles over the DNA scaffold, where they adhere to form tiny integrated circuits.

"If we can properly, with incredible precision, place these little origami on the wafer surface, then you can use the properties of DNA to generate nanocircuit boards," Allen said.

The ability for the DNA structures to self-assemble is a key element needed for achieving greater precision in the design and manufacture of chips, said Greg Wallraff, an IBM research scientist and co-author of a paper about their achievements.

"The degree of difficulty of nanofabrication is going up rapidly," Wallraff said.

While the technology shows promise, it is years away from practical use, the scientists warned. "It's too early to say whether this will be a game changer," Allen said. "But we're pretty enthusiastic about the potential of this technique."

If it works as planned, it could lead to a new way of fabricating features on the surface of chips that allows semiconductors to be made even smaller, faster and more power-efficient than they are today.

A paper describing the scientists' achievements was due to be published Sunday in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

How to Increase Download Speed

Instructions :

STEP 1 : Check with your Internet service provider about Internet connection options. The speed of your Internet connection is the most significant variable to your download speed. If you have dial-up Internet access, consider upgrading to a Direct Service Line (DSL) or a cable connection. Even if you already have cable, your Internet service provider may have faster cable services available.

STEP 2 : Understand a fast connection. Connection speed is measured by the amount of data that can be transferred per second, usually kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps). There are 1024 kilobits in one megabit. Most dial-up connections are 56 Kbps, while cable can be as fast as 20 Mbps. When you contact your Internet service provider, they should be able to tell you the speed of their connections.

STEP 3 : Close any open programs you do no need when downloading. This will free up your computer's resources to better handle the data transfer. If possible, have your computer download the files you need while you are away from the computer.

STEP 4 : Prioritize your downloads. Download only the files you really want first and start other downloads later. The more files you download simultaneously, the slower the files download.

STEP 5 : Try downloads at different times of the day. The more people who are downloading the same file, the slower the file downloads for everyone. If you are experiencing a slow download, try it at a different time of day when fewer people might be trying to download the same file.

STEP 6 : Install "Internet Download Manager". It is a program that optimizes your computer's download capabilities. It not only increases the speed of your downloads, it helps you manage them. When you begin downloading a file, Download Accelerator saves the file so that you can resume downloading it later if necessary. For more info CLICK HERE

How to Disconnect a Car Battery to Reset the Computer

Instructions :

Step 1:
Open the hood of the car and locate the battery. In many cars the battery is in plain view as soon as you open the hood. If this is not the case, refer to the owner's manual of your vehicle to identify the battery location. Some cars store the battery under the back seat or in a special compartment in the front fender. The owner's manual will identify the battery location and provide instructions for how to gain access.

Step 2:
Disconnect the negative battery cable using a 3/4-inch wrench to loosen the battery cable. The negative battery cable is the one that has black insulation on the wiring. Sometimes it is connected directly to the negative battery post, but some cars attach it directly to the car body. Disconnect the cable and position it so that the end of the cable is not touching any grounded metal.

Step 3:
Use a 3/4-inch wrench to disconnect the positive battery cable. This is the cable with red insulation, connected to the positive battery post. Loosen the nut and remove the cable from the battery post. Position the cable so that the end is touching no part of the car body. You have never taken away the power supply to the central computer, although some electricity is still stored in the car's capacitor.

Step 4:
Drain the remaining electricity from the battery. Even though the battery has been disconnected, there will still be a small amount of electricity that is stored in the engine. The easiest way to drain the electricity is to hold down on either the brakes or the car horn until there is no power left. This will deplete all electrical components of having power, including the car's central computer.

Step 5:
Wait 10 to 15 minutes for the memory banks to clear. Many cars have a safety feature built into the computer where the memory will remain unaltered for a period of time after being cut off from a power supply.

Step 6:
Use the 3/4-inch wrench to replace the positive and negative battery cables in the opposite order that they were disconnected (positive first, then negative). Once both cables have been connected, start the engine of the car to begin supplying power to all of the electrical components again, including the on-board computer.

How to Increase Download Speeds of uTorrent

uTorrent was very slow for me until recently I applied a few tweaks. Here’s what I did :

[ Note: Some of the settings mentioned below are optimized for 256k connection. If you want to calculate the optimal settings for your connection, check at the end of this tutorial. But I suggest you to read the entire tutorial for guidance on other settings. ]

First go to Options>Preferences>Network

1. Under ‘Port used for incomming connections’, enter any port number. It is best to use a port number above 10000. I use 45682.
2. Randomize port each time utorrent starts: UNCHECKED. I leave this unchecked because I have a router. If you do not have a router or a firewall, and want extra security,check this option.
3. Enable UPnP port mapping (Windows Xp or later only): UNCHECKED. I leave this unchecked because I have experienced it slowing down speeds. It is not needed if you manually port forward.
4. Add utorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions (Windows XP SP2 or later only).

ALL ABOUT TORRENT SPEED UP

It is a very common question for torrent users, that why the download speed is slower !! Many of the speed factors involved are out of your control, there is at least one thing you can do at your receiving end to improve this speed. It is called "Port Forwarding", or "opening your specific TCP ports". This is how it works :

1) That blue or green network cable coming out of your computer/modem/router is actually a busy highway comprised of 65,536 tiny electronic lanes (yes, over sixty-five thousand little lanes for your electrons). Each lane is called a "port", and each port is designed to allow only specific types of information through. Many ports are assigned in a semi-standardized way. Here are some example port assignments:
  • HTML pages: port 80
  • FTP file transferring: port 21
  • World of Warcraft: port 3724
  • POP3 email: port 110
  • MSN Messenger: port 6901 and ports 6891-6900
  • Everquest: port 1024
  • Bit Torrents: port 6881

2) Bit torrents, by default, first look for port 6881 to enter/exit your computer. If port 6881 is closed for whatever reason, torrents then go to port 6882, then 6883, and so on, until it eventually tries port 6999 before giving up.

3) Every ISP, and every home router, can optionally block any of these ports with the intention of preventing hackers and controlling the network.

4) If you tell your own personal router and firewall at home to open (aka "forward") port 6881 and port 6882, then your bit torrents will find their way into your computer that much faster. Sometimes up to 5x faster.

Yes, opening ports does increase the possibility of getting hacked by unwanted bad guys, but there are means to reduce that threat while still getting fast torrent download speeds.

Best 5 Tips For Your Adsence Ads

Here I will share the best 5 tips to place your ads on your blog or website. It will give you a huge earning . Yes, "A HUGE EARNING " . I got this from my own experience and also from some of my master book collections on Google Adsence.What I can tell you is this:

1. Ads at the top of the page and on the left of the page perfom better than any other ads.

2. Ads without background colour and borders perfom better than ads within borders with background colour.

3. Ads within content pages perform better than any other ads.

4. A search box on every page gives you another chance for earning Adsense income.

5. A blue link at the top of the ad, the ad in black, and the url also in black so that it blends in with the ad copy - also tends to perform well. A black url makes the link stand out and gives you a better chance of someone clicking on it.

How to Earn a Lot Through Google Adsense


  1. Determine a goal for what you want to earn using AdSense. Of course, you want to earn a lot, but make sure it's realistic.
    • Consider that to earn $1 a day per page, you need, per page…
      • visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR) and average 5c payout.
      • Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
      • Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
      • Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout
  2. Consider whether these goals will be possible given your site. If it's too tough, create two sites, each attracting half the number.
  3. Start building keyword-rich pages containing well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site. For example, if your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free things. On the other hand, if you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face an awful lot of tough competition. What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, So do some careful keyword research before you build your pages.

Why Many Adsense Sites don't Earn Money

There seem to be 3 main reasons why most adsense sites do not make a lot of money:

(1) Not enough visitors: This is the biggest reason that most sites using Adsense do not make that money, and why most sites don't make money from any sources.. You need a lot of visitors if you expect to make a significant amount of money from Adsense. You need a lot of people coming to see the ads, and a lot of people clicking the ads (not fraudulently). This is the only way to earn a lot of money through Adsense.

(2) Bad ad placement: If you stick your ad low on the side of the page where nobody can see it, how do you expect them to click it? A little ad optimization goes a long way. Ideally, you want your ads to be close to the top or within the text, while also blending in with the website and not being obtrusive. If the ads are annoying and too prominent, people will get annoyed and just won't visit your site. If the ads are in places that are too obscure, people won't even see them. It's a tough thing to manage.

(3) Tech-savvy visitors: If you have visitors that are pretty tech-savvy, they will recognize the ads and just be able to ignore them. If they're ignoring them, they're not going to click them, and you're not going to make any money. Most people have no use for the ads (or perhaps turn them off altogether), making them useless for you as a money-making tool.

These seem to be the biggest reasons that most people do not make much money off of Adsense. If you don't have enough visitors and the ads are placed poorly, you will not make a lot of money from Adsense, and that's really all there is to it. If you are able to make good money from Adsense, good work! It's tough work, but it can be done.

Computer Technology Used in the Racing Cars

Today, in this world of information and technology, every thing is controlled and processed through the help of computers. Computer technology has become an indispensable part of every day life. And, there is hardly any room for surprise as we get to know that the computer technology is avidly being used in the racing circuit.
Today, it will not be an amazing thing to hear that in the racing cars, computer technology is widely used to enhance the performance in several manners.
It is due to the computer technology that the speed and other related mechanisms of the racing cars have undergone a drastic reversal.
If more performance is required from the engine, then there are many aftermarket chips and plug in device, which will help in rewriting the sparks and the fuel maps.
To satisfy the mileage requirements, and in order to control all other devices in a racing car, the microprocessor has to handle different kinds of functions.
For a smooth racing engine, advanced computer power is a revolutionizing way through which electronic engine controls the whole system.
In the racing car system, there are primarily two control functions of the computer. First among them is the spark timing. This is actually a function of the RPM and throttle angle. The second one is the injector timing. Another crucial deployment of the computer technology that has marked great results in enhancement of the performance of the racing cars is pertaining to the 3D maps.
Use of the 3D maps can greatly increase the speed as well as precision of the racing cars. They are actually plots, which are based on dyno runs, and it is stored in memory for rapid look up whenever necessary.
The computer system in the racing cars have become so advanced that today racing drivers seldom need to put hand on the handles. It is a system, by virtue of which, you will be able to know about the different curves and turns that lie ahead on the path.
This is undoubtedly a great benefit in itself and use of the computer application means there is almost no possibility of error for this extremely vital issue. You can calculate your distance and you can easily determine how much speed you have to give to cover that distance.
Every racing car is provided with a LCD screen through which you will be able to know about the capacity of the engine, the petrol consumption per second. The racing cars are provided with memory chips, in which you can load any song or any items very easily.
It is through the computer system that all the doors can be open automatically, just through pressing a button. The speed control is totally depended on the computer. It is the computer, which can make you aware of the other racing cars. It can even inform you about their exact location, and time you may take to complete that distance.
It may also inform you about the speed that you must take to complete that distance. The speed of the computerized racing cars is much greater than the ordinary racing cars. Due to the computer technology, the driver have to do nothing other than sitting on the car and maintaining the pace, and the rest of the things are done by the programmed system of the computer.
The computer technology, which is employed in the racing cars must be used and functioned carefully because any carelessness in this respect can lead you to fatal consequences. For that reason, it is advised that every body must take a preliminary training before using racing car.

Computer Technology in Cars

You could fly to the moon in almost any modern car... in theory at least.

The amount of processing power in the average saloon far outweighs that of the Apollo 11 guidance computer that helped put men on the moon.

On average a modern car will have more than 20 separate processing units onboard - each one of which could leave the Apollo computer standing.

Increasingly cars are setting the pace when it comes to the amount of computer power and gadgets crammed into a small space.

It used to be only top of the line models that had all the extras, such as video players, that turned a car ride from a chore into a sojourn in a mobile living room.

And until recently adding such extras to a standard vehicle meant a premium on the drive-away price.

But back-seat entertainment consoles, navigation systems and wireless technologies are going to be offered as standard equipment by almost 75% of the 38 car makers questioned by the US Telematics Research Group (TRG).

Rear-seat entertainment, which includes DVD players, games consoles and music systems, are becoming increasingly standard on high-volume vehicles in the US, says said Phil Magney, principal analyst at TRG.

"It's a great way for them to make a bigger margin."

Driving force:

This search for extra cash is perhaps no surprise given that the average margin on a new car sold today could be just a couple of hundred pounds.

But car makers are not just looking to rear-seat gadgets to wring a little more cash from consumers, instead they want to make more sensible use of that latent computer power.

"It's cheaper for the car manufacturer's to give you the full, top-of-line, deluxe engine and cut it back a bit with software," says Martin Illsley, director of Accenture's research labs.

Instead of different models having different engines it would be the engine management software that determines how each vehicle performs.

Certainly, says Mr Illsley, car rental firms are interested in the idea of vehicles whose performance can be tailored to how much people pay.

Connect this engine management system up to a wireless communication system and with the swipe of a credit card you could turn your trundling rental into a rumbling roadster.

Parents, says Mr Illsley, might be interested in a vehicle that they can set the upper speed for, especially if they have teenage sons who are eager to get behind the wheel.

The combination of engine management system and wireless communications also gives governments a way to enforce speed limits that no-one can escape.

Mr Illsley said all the technology to do this is available now.

For instance, the Institute of Transport Studies at the University of Leeds is currently in the middle of a six-year project to evaluate an intelligent speed adaptation system that keep cars to a prescribed speed limit.

Car hackers:

But, says Mr Illsley, once you have road signs that can control an engine and slow a car down "it's no longer a technical issue, it's a social issue about how we want to apply the rules".

General Motors uses a combination of engine management, wireless communications and GPS for its OnStar system that gives roadside assistance, and other services, to customers.

OnStar will be standard in GM vehicles by 2007 in the US.

Given that engine management systems are now ubiquitous it is no surprise that there are kits and software available that let those interested or skilled enough connect up a computer to their car and do a bit of hacking.

Increasingly mechanics are as happy to use a laptop to diagnose a car's problems as they are a socket set.

Derek Charters, senior consultant of advanced powertrain projects at the Motor Industry Research Association, says drivers are becoming passengers as cars take on more of the hard work.

Although the person behind the steering wheel feels like they are in control, actually the car will be doing lots of things without any prompting.

For instance, says Mr Charters, soon after ignition, cars manage acceleration to ensure that a dirty cloud of exhaust does not belch from the tail-pipe in breach of emission regulations.

This means that if you feel a bit lead-footed in the mornings, your car will compensate.

He says there are smart braking systems that watch the pattern of movements on the foot pedals and react faster if it senses a car is about to make an emergency stop.

The point about all these systems is that they operate without the driver's knowing.

Increasingly, says Mr Charters, it is ergonomics and the time it takes to educate drivers about innovations in cars that hold back the pace of change.

What does the Computer in a Car do ?

All cars manufactured today contain at least one computer. It is in charge of monitoring engine emissions and adjusting the engine to keep emissions as low as possible. The computer receives information from a many different sensors, including:
  • The oxygen sensor
  • The air pressure sensor
  • The air temperature sensor
  • The engine temperature sensor
  • The throttle position sensor
  • The knock sensor
  • The oxygen sensor
Using the information from these sensors, the computer can control things like the fuel injectors, spark plugs and the idle speed to get the best performance possible from the engine while keeping emissions low. The computer can also sense when something has gone wrong and can inform the driver with the "Check Engine" light. A mechanic can read a diagnostic code from the computer and fix the problem.

Depending on how expensive the car is, there can be all sorts of other computers. For example:

  • There is probably a computer controlling the automatic transmission
  • If the car has anti-lock brakes, there is a computer reading the wheel speed and controlling the brakes
  • Many air bag systems have their own computers
  • A car with keyless entry or a security system has a computer for these systems
  • Advanced climate control systems often have computers
  • Some cars now have motorized seats and mirrors that can remember the settings for multiple drivers, and these contain computers
  • Any radio or CD player with a digital display contains a computer of its own
  • Cruise control systems use computers
In other words, a modern luxury car is a rolling computer network. It is amazing how many embedded controllers a car can have.

So what was the deal about whether our cars would start on January 1, 2000? Nothing. The computers in our cars have no idea what today's date is because it is irrelevant to their calculations. If you take the battery out of your car to replace it, all of the computers lose power. Your radio, for example, may forget its preset stations. However, you don't have to reset the date on any of these embedded computers because none of them care.

Computer games are good for you!

US scientists have found that regular players of shoot-em-ups, such as Half-Life and Medal of Honour, have much better visual skills than most of the population. The researchers have shown that gamers were particularly good at spotting details in busy, confusing scenes and could cope with more distractions than average. The two scientists also found that with a little game playing the visual skills of anyone can be improved : "Although video game playing may seem to be rather mindless, it is capable of radically altering visual attentional processing."

To ensure that it was experience with computer games that was refining visual and attentional skills, the researchers trained subjects on a variety of games and then tested them again.

"Video game playing enhances the capacity of visual attention and its spatial distribution" , wrote the researchers in a paper published in the journal Nature this week.

The study was commissioned by the US Government's National Institute of Health.

How to Clean a DVD or CD Disc ?

Can't play a movie or can't listen to your music!! Here are a few handy tips to clean your priceless collection of CD and DVD discs. But before you try any of these methods, remember that the disc media is very delicate and you may unintentionally damage the shiny reflective surface if you are not careful:


1. If dust particles are sticking to the CD surface, use a piece of cotton ball or a soft cloth to wipe off the dust. To hold the CD, insert a finger inside the center hole of the CD or handle it by the edges but never touch the shiny surface.

2. The DVD surface feels sticky or greasy, mix some baby shampoo in lukewarm water and use cotton or soft cloth to gently rub the CD surface with this solution. Make sure the CD is completely dry (no water drops) before putting it back in the jewel case.

3. If there are fingerprint marks on the CD surface, dip a soft cloth in Alcohol/Ethanol/Methanol and gently wipe the surface. Never use a petroleum based solvent like Acetone as that will permanently damage the CD surface.

4. When none of the above products are available in the local market, use a bottle of Mineral water to clean the dirty CD surface. Normal tap water has higher concentration of salts that may leave white marks on the CD surface.

5. Always wipe the disc surface in a non-radial back-and-forth motion (from the center hole to the outer edge). Don't follow the concentric circles while cleaning.

6. There are few DVD polish products in the market that promise to repair the scratched surface of CDs and DVDs. I have never used them myself so cannot comment if they really work as advertised.

Difference between Blogging and having a Website

The day I visited the Google Addsence, one of the questions came in my mind was: "What is the difference between Blogging and having a Website".

The biggest difference between the two is one is Dynamic and the other is Static. I think you can guess which is which.

Blogging is the Dynamic choice for someone who has something to say, sell or portray. Once you start a Blog it is best to try to update it every day. That way you can build a readership and potential customers since that should be your objective. You want to keep to the subject matter as much as possible. Put a link to anything you find that is pertinent to your content (just don't over do it). If you DO have a Website, make sure to put a link to it in an accessible spot on the Blog so that people can see your main products and services.

A Website is Static. This is where you actually describe your products and/or services. You can update a website as often as you like, but this is usually only done if your products change, you have a Sale, or something of that nature. You should have a link to your Blog on this site to allow customers to get updates as often as you post them.

If you have both Blog and Website, use them in conjunction with each other. Make sure people can find both as easily as possible. If you use RSS and Blog Feeds, list each in the appropriate category, the more exposure the better.

Remember, BOTH could have a place in your plan for Working at Home. Optimize your use of the Internet for your Business.

Tips to Increase Google AdSense Earnings

1. Strictly follow the rules mentioned in Adsense policies. You will always earn more revenue from Adsense by playing it clean.

2. Never modify the Google Adsense HTML code. If have trouble embedding AdSense code in your WordPress or Blogger template, take help of the AdSense support forums or send an email to your AdSense account manager.

3. Never ask your friends or visitors to click on your Google ads. Google takes click fraud very seriously. Do not include incentives of any kind on your site for users to click on your ads. Don't label Google ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements.".

4. Don't click on your own ads - Google is much smarter than you think and can discover invalid clicks through IP addresses, site navigation patterns, etc. If you working on a new design for your site, avoid reloading your pages (with AdSense) excessively. You can turn off AdSense temporarily and avoid invalid CPM impressions. Or you can use the unofficial Google Adsense Sandbox Tool that is accessible from Firefox, IE and other browsers to see what kind of Google ads will be served based on content (website address URL) or keywords.

5. Don't place ads in pop-up windows, error pages or even empty pages. Update: With the new AdSense policy change, you can probably place ads on 404 pages. Check with the AdSense support team.

6. Don't start a "adsense asbestos" or "home equity loan rates" website merely to make money from accidental clicks. You will never make money out these Made for Adsense websites. Instead, write on topics what you are passionate about. Don't waste your money on high-paying adsense keywords lists. Stay away from AdSense Adwords arbitrage.

7. For short articles, CTR is best when ads are placed just above the content.

8. For long articles, CTR will improve if you place ads somewhere in middle of the content or just where the article ends - when visitors are done reading the article, they may be looking for related resources.

9. Use Text Ads instead of Image Ads as users get more options and the payout is often higher. If you still want to display image ads (for CPM), consider ad formats like the 300x250 medium rectangle or the 160x600 wide skyscraper as they support also support rich multimedia and the new gadget ads.

10. Google Ads with no background color and no borders will always perform better. Make the border color and background color same as your page background color.

11. Always put ads above the main fold. Make sure that the ad unit with the highest clickthrough rate is the first instance of the ad code that appears in your HTML source. Since the first ad unit is always filled before the rest, you want to make sure that ad unit is located in the best placement on your page.

12. Try setting the ad link URL color to a lighter shade. If your text is black, you may make the adlink as light gray or something like #666.

13. Go Wide - The large rectangle (336x280) is the best paying Adsense format especially for text ads. Try using the 336x280 large rectangle, 300x250 medium rectangle, or 160x600 wide skyscraper.

14. Don't places images next to Google ads as that will invite a permanent ban to your AdSense account.

15. Blend AdLinks with other navigation links or place horizontal adlinks at the top of your webpage. AdSense publishers are permitted to click on link unit topics on their web pages, provided that they do not click on any Google ads on the resulting page.

16. You should try adding a unit near the comments senction of your blog. See more AdSense tweaks.

17. You can put upto 3 adsense units on a page. Try putting a large skyscraper on the right navigation sidebar of your website. That area is close to the browser scrollbar. You can also add 2 AdSense for search boxes and 3 adlink units.

18. First few lines of your content are an important factor for determining what Ads are served on your webpage. That's the right place to put keywords in bold (strong or &ltb> tags) or header tags (h1, h2, etc).

19. Always select the setting to open Google Adsense search box results in a new browser window, so you won't lose your visitors. Click the Open search results in a new browser window checkbox and this add target="google_window" to your form tag.

20. Maximum people think the search box is on the top right corner. So you know where to put it.

21. Always syndicate full text RSS feeds and then monetize your feeds with a 468x60 ad in RSS feeds.

22. Monitor the AdSense performance of individual web pages with Google Analytics

23. For low CTR pages, try changing titles or adding more relevant content to get better focused ads. Alse see: Get relevant Google Ads

24. Block low paying advertisers with Filters. Why to loose a visitor for an ad that will only pay you a cent. Use Overture or Google Adwords Keywords tool to discover keywords that are less popular with advertisers.

25. how to implement AdSense Revenue sharing if you run a site with multiple authors and need to pay your writers based on advertising revenue generated from their articles.

26. Experiment with color schemes and layouts using split testing. You are the best judge when it comes to choosing ad formats for your own website.

Speed-up Mozilla Firefox


Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select
New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

I hope this info is useful.

Why copy a file instead of doing a move file?

Move or Copy a file? There is a small catch to moving a file. The catch is if the
process does not complete the copy it will deleted your file anyway. It works like this:
You right click on the file and select move. Or you right click on the file and drag it to
where you want it to go. Then release the mouse button and the OS asks you if you want
to Copy or Move the file here? You click on Move. The OS will copy the file into clip
board, then delete the original file. Then it pastes the file into the destination folder. If
some thing interrupts this operation you have just lost your file! It will be deleted from
the clip board because the os thinks it completed the move. Want to know the worst part
of this? You will not find the file in the Recycle Bin either! There are some file recovery
tools that may (note I said may) find the file. My advice? Never move a file! Always
copy and paste the file then delete the original.
So now you need to know the mechanics of the process. Ok it is not complicated but the
first couple of times it is tedious.
You can use any of these techniques to copy your files:
Explorer Copy:
Open explorer, go to the source folder, right click on the file you want to copy, go to
copy on the menu. Next go to the destination folder and double click on it or click on the
'plus' sign in the left column. In the right column where you want the file right click on
the empty white space and select paste. If you don't want or need the original file right
click on it and select delete.
My Computer Copy:
Let us say you have a folder full of files you want to put in a different place. If the
destination is on the same drive the OS will just move the name of the folder to the new
destination, it is not really a copy operation. But lets say you want to have the folder on
your usb pen drive from you hard drive as a back up. You open the folder above the one
you want to move, you also open the destination folder you want to place the copy in.
Right click on the folder and select copy (remember the warning about using Move!) In
the destination folder you right click in the open white space and select paste. To insure
you have all your files right click on both the source and destination folders and select
properties, they should be the same in amount of sub folders, files and size in bytes.
Search copy:
Let us assume you have created a document sometime in the past and can't remember
where you saved it. (Happens to the best of us believe me!) But you remember the name
of the document or part of the name. You can do a search for your file. Once you have
found the file you can either note where it is located and open that folder or you can copy
it from the Search window to the destination. To do this you would use the Explorer copy
technique.

Want to build a Custom Gaming PC, this is the place to find out how to do it!

So you want to build a Custom Gaming
PC!

So you are considering your options, buy or build a custom Gaming PC? Before you
put your hard earned cash out for a custom gaming PC why not investigate the
possibilities? Some pros and cons of buy or build?
I think everyone wants the good news first, but with a major out lay of cash you may
want to look at the bad news first so on with the cons:
Cons:
Buy -
You will have to find a reputable computer manufacture/assembler to build a custom
Gaming PC. Give them the specifications and then they will tell you how much it will
cost.
Most custom computers will not go past the OEM [Original Equipment Manufactures]
warranty.
You will have to pay to have the computer assembled and shipped to you.
Build-
You will have to order, assemble, test, and load the software yourself.
Any tech support will have to come from searching the internet to find any information
about your problem if the item/device manufacture does not offer support.
Pros:
Buy -
You don't have to order, assemble, test, or load software on the system.
You can call the company you bought it from for tech support. [This may not always be
the case!]
Build -
You save the cost of the assembly by doing it yourself.
You know what is installed in the system, you bought each part.
The money you saved on the assembly and shipping can be used to buy higher quality
parts or more items/devices than you would if you purchased a custom built pc.
You have a larger choice for your components.
When you build a custom Gaming PC it is easier to upgrade, you know what components
are in the system, you wouldn't if you bought a custom computer unless you kept the
specifications from when you ordered it, and heck who keeps receipts and manuals any
way?
So now you can make an intelligent decision and enjoy your new game machine!


What is in a gaming PC that isn't in a normal or business PC?

Well for starters it will have a very high resolution video card [don't for get to match
that card with a high resolution monitor!] with a lot of memory, it will also have the
latest MDAC processor. [Most motherboards come with embedded video, the embedded
video is ok for normal business or home use but it not display the higher resolutions
games require and the system performance will suffer].
Your gaming PC must also have a very high quality sound card and speakers or head
phones for the best gaming experience. [Don't get fooled by the onboard sound on most
motherboards, they will not have the quality of a medium priced sound card]
You will also want the fastest processor available and the most ram you can afford.
You will need a high capacity hard drive and a high speed DVD [The latest game I have
came on two DVD's! Gone are the single CD days, so if you have four newer games they
just maxed out your 20 gig hard drive!]
If you are a online gamer you will need a decent network card, most newer motherboards
come with that option embedded on the motherboard.
If you have a yearning to fly you will need a joy stick, some players have rudder pedals
also. Your best bet is to get USB devices.
And you will need an Operating System, if you are familiar with Linux there are a few
games being ported over for it. Other wise XP is still the best bet, publishers are not
writing drivers or games for Vista yet, maybe in the next six months to a year.

Byte - Eight bits, binary number of bits that are the building blocks of programming for
computers. Most computer components are measured in BYTEs, some confuse the
measurement with BITs. Such measurements reduce the measurement by a factor of
EIGHT. KiloBYTE. MegaBYTE, GigaBYTE.
C
Clone - Computers that had the IBM PC style case and a compatible main board and were
cheaper than the IBM PC by thousands of dollars.
CD-ROM - Compact Disk - Read Only Memory, CD's became available for music in the
1980's, early in the 1990's CD ROM Drives became available for the computer market.
Writeable CD's with the correct format can be used in Audio CD players, or you can store
up to 800 meg of data on one disk. Also comes in Re-Writeable format.
D
Deframentation - The process of taking all the parts of a file and writing them to
contagious blocks or sectors of a hard drive.
DIMM - Dual Inline Memory Module, 168 or 184 pin memory module
DDR - Double Data Rate, 240 pin memory Module
Disk - There are three types of disks, Floppy, Hard, and CD ROM.
DVD - Digital Versatile Disc, same format and size as the CD-ROM with a higher
capacity. Writeable DVD's created on a computer have the capacity to be used in regular
DVD players. Data storage on DVD's can be either 4.7 Gig or 8.4 Gig with the Dual
Layer DVD.
Decimal - Base 10 numeric system, how humans count.
E
EPROM or EEPROM - Electronically Programmable Read Only Memory. Some devices
have a Read Only Memory chip for programming the functions of the device. This
memory is non-volatile, it can not be erased. EPROM's are chips that can be erased and
reprogrammed. EEPROM's can be erased electronically, you system bios is a EEPROM
for example.
ESD - Electro Magnetic Discharge, static electricity that builds up naturally by
movement. Has catastrophic effects on electronic components when discharged.
Grounding will dissipate the static electric with out damage to components.
Encryption - A process that will scramble a word, document, or program. Making it
unreadable by normal processes, such as a word processor or text editor. Encrypting takes
a special program that uses two 'keys' created by the person requiring the encryption. The
'keys' are called a 'public key' and a 'private key' the strength of the encrypted file or word
depends on how 'strong' the algorithm is that creates the 'key pair'. Once the object. file,
word, or program) is encrypted it can only be decrypted by with the key pair in unison.
F
Floppy Disk - A non-ridged disk made out of very thin Mylar, the term floppy
came from the disks in the early 1970's, these disks were 8 inch in a thin plastic
sleeve, when you picked up one it had a tendency to bend, or flop around. Newer
disks come in a more ridged plastic case but are still bendable to a certain degree before
they break.
Format - Process of setting up a volume to store data, a raw partition needs markers
placed on the physical hard drive platters for programs to store data.
Fragmentation - Fragmentation is defined as the fragmenting of a file when it is written to
a device. This happens on hard drives when the capacity of the drive does not
accommodate the complete file in contiguous (one after another) blocks.
G
Gig - One billion. (close enough for us, unless you are interested in converting
Hexadecimal to Decimal)
GHz - Gig Hertz the frequency of the clock speed measured in Gigs (hexadecimal)
H
Hard Drive - Term coined back in the 1980's by IBM when they
introduced the first drive that did not have removable media (i.e. a floppy
disk). The reason for the name was the original R&D of the device was
code named "Winchester" to throw off the competition. The platters are
ridged and made out of aluminum with a thin coating of iron metal oxide.
Hertz - The time it takes a certain type of sine ware to complete 360 degrees in electronic
components.
Hex - Base 16 numeric system (Humans use a base ten numeric system to count,
computers use binary to code for programs, it is easier to code if it is converted from
binary to hex).
I
IDE -Integrated Drive Electronics. The integration of electronics inside the body of the
drive allows for more control over the capacity of the drive. Before IDE all controls were
on the outside of the drive, thus limiting the capacity of the format of the platter. When
the electronics were moved to circuit boards inside the drive the capacity has increased
by a million fold, soon more than a billion fold.
J
Jazz Drive - A small high capacity storage device that uses Mylar film disk in a hard
case. Capacity ranges from 2 meg to 2 gig.
K
Kilo - One thousand, (Kilobyte, actually 1024 if converted from Hex or binary to
decimal)
KBS - Kilo Bytes per Second, how fast data is transferred in kilobytes. Or Kilo Bits Per
Second (multiply by 8 to get Kilo Bytes per Second).
M
Memory - Two types of memory - non -volatile - read only, or volatile -
changeable. Non volatile is a type of write once, once it is written it can
not be changed, like a CD or DVD. Volatile memory is memory that can
be changed, you write to it, change your mind and erase it, then write to it
again. Your Computer ram is writeable memory.
Modem - A device that communicates with another device across a long
distance. Dial up modems connect to a phone line, this is a analog signal,
the modem converts a digital signal from the computer to analog to send
the data and back to digital when it receives data. (Modem transfer speed
is measured in KBS).
MBS - Data transfer speed, Mega Bytes per Second. (Network transfer speed is measured
in MBS).
N
Non-Volatile - Something that can not be changed with out destroying it.
O
OS - Operating System, high level program that controls the computer, allows for input
and output.
Overclocking - A process of making a chip (memory or processor) perform beyond the
manufactures specifications from when the device was made. Say you have a processor
that is rated at 800 MHz you if change this to 850 MHz the computer may run faster.
Overclocking the memory or processor can lead to damage of the component or the main
board or both. Not Recommended.
P
Partition - Before a raw hard drive can be formatted it has to have physical pointers
applied to the hard drive physical disk platters, these are the starting and ending points for
the format program to its job.
Port - A term used for any opening that the computer can use to communicate with a
external device, program, or data. Computers have connections for external devices, these
connections are called ports.
POST - Power On Self Test - Most computer manufactures provide a way to test the
computer when it is powered up, checking components for malfunctions, this program is
built into a program called BIOS.
R
Ram - Physical Random Access Memory. Ram is a silicon chip that is electronically
charged and discharged to retain data.
S
Storage - Physical devices that retain data when power is removed from the device.
SVGA - Super Video Graphics Adapter:: The VGA adapter allowed for memory and a
processor to be incorporated on the card. The resolution went from thousands of colors
to millions of colors.
U
USB - Universal Serial Bus. USB is used for connecting external devices
to your computer, it is an upgrade to the serial bus specification allowing
for more than one device to connect to the bus at one time..
V
VGA - Video Graphics Adapter: The first video adapters were mono
chrome and did not display graphics, characters only. Then came the
CGA, Color Graphics Adapter. This adapter displayed 16 colors then 256 colors. The
VGA adapter allowed for memory and a processor to be incorporated on the card. The
resolution went from 256 colors to thousand of colors over night.
W
Winchester - first hard drives were called Winchesters, this was the code name for the
development of the small hard drive for PC's by IBM. (Small is relative, the original
IBM hard drive was 5 1/4 inches wide, 7 inches long, and 3 inches high and weighed
approximately 9 pounds!)
Z
Zip - A file compression algorithm.
