The registry cleaner are dangerous
Ho trovato un post interessante in cui Ed Bott, un autorevole esperto di Windows, spiega quanto siano inutili, e spesso dannosi, i cosiddetti registry cleaner.
Ho sempre pensato che il beneficio fosse trascurabile e i rischi enormi nell'affidarsi a queste utility, e quest'articolo lo conferma.
In pratica a fronte di un alleggerimento di pochi kilobyte in RAM e un risparmio di qualche microsecondo nelle ricerche delle registry keys, you run the risk of removing important parts essential for the proper functioning of the operating system.
Their use is recommended only as a last resort in cases where desperately trying to restore the functioning of the system after the elimination of an incorrect application.

How Can I Get My White Leather Couch Clean
Solid State Drives
Until now, the good old floppies were resistant to the vast majority of attacks by other technologies, as they have been able to develop into an exceptional in terms of capacity, speed, efficiency and cost reduction. However
now appears on the market a new technology that could remove the magnetic disks that record. They are solid state dish. Unlike magnetic disks, solid-state drives have no moving mechanical parts, but only electronically.
There are two types. Those based on volatile memory (RAM type) for superior performance (in fact, as the RAM!) And those based on non-volatile memory type flash, much slower, but often faster than magnetic disks. The former are reserved, at least for now, to use a niche, as they need a constant backup data to be able to survive a power failure. The latter, however, are in a sense, the older brothers of USB, but made to be fixed and interiors. And especially larger ones.
Benefits
Allora… basso consumo, peso ridotto… pochi problemi di raffreddamento… tutto suona ad un candidato ideale per un uso su Laptop…
Dati gli svantaggi attuali li vedo come ottimi candidati per la partizione di sistema di un laptop, per ospitare il sistema operativo ed i programmi, mentre tutti i dati (quelli importanti, ma che non necessitano di un accesso veloce e continuo) su un bell’hard disk magnetico tradizionale (sul quale magari viene fatto un backup completo del disco di sitema SSD almeno una volta alla settimana). Per la massima portabilità l’hard disk data can be safely outside. So when you need a car very light and long battery life, such as browsing the Internet or to take notes in a meeting or to work on a project while you travel, leaving home or office that counts the most: information contained in the external magnetic hard disk.

Benefits
- Basso consumo di energia
- Bassa produzione di calore
- Dimensioni ridotte
- Peso ridotto
- Accesso Casuale più rapido
- Costo . Sono ancora cari rispetto ai dischi magnetici. Il costo medio per GB dei dischi SSD si aggira per ora intorno ai 15$, mentre i dischi magnetici vanno da poche decine di centesimi a circa 3$ per i costosi SAS.
- Tempo di vita . Poiché ogni singola cella di memoria ha un numero limitato di cicli di riscrittura, nei dischi a stato solido diventa di fondamentale importanza la distribuzione dei dati fra blocchi e la loro gestione. Un algoritmo che non distribuisca equamente the use of cells or involving an excessive and continuous re-allocation of data could significantly resurrection life time of solid state disks. In this sense progress has been made recently, but it is always a critical factor for this type of technology.
- Data Recovery . Unlike magnetic DSIC, where the data recovery techniques, although expensive, are now refined, for solid state disks, there is little or no chance of recovering data in case of disaster.
- sequential access. Sequentially in access are not competitive with magnetic disks, while for random access it. So the backup or reading large files will not be più performante dei dischi magnetici, ma per aprire e chiudere tanti piccoli file in poco tempo sono inbattibili.

Dress For Slow Moderns
Free Remote Assistance Vista
Once installed and launched, is a small window with two panes: Join the panel for making a connection to a remote computer (if you have to help someone in trouble with his pc, for example) and the panel if you turn your Host qualcoun invite to connect to your PC.
We see the Join panel. The name that appears in this panel is to identify who in the eyes of the person on the other side of the connection. In Access Code you must enter the number that the other person has communicated to you via voice mail or by phone. Clicking on connect in seconds and the connection will appear in a window on the desktop of the remote computer.
other hand, the person receiving assistance will have in the meantime you enable the connection using the Host panel.
this an Access Code is preset to randomly each time you start CrossLoop, but can change at will. Obviously, the setting safer and is recommended to use the random code is generated every time, but if you want you can set a code that is easy to remember and always use that (your own risk!).
Before your guardian angel can connect to your PC and help you, you need to connect yourself to the service with Big Keys Green Connect. Only when both parties have clicked Connect, the connection can be established.
Have fun!
With Scobleizer I found a good tool in order to offer or request remote assistance or to work together on a project, sharing the desktop of one or both computers, no matter where they are.
This CrossLoop, it works through any firewall and requires no network configuration, only the installation on each PC of a small program to download for free (2.1 Mb), guaranteed to be free from Spyware and Virus.
The connection is secure, since the encrypted communication (Blowfish 128-bit) and the performances are on the whole acceptable. Of course, working remotely is not like on your computer, but to give or receive assistance and cooperation is more than enough.
The service is extremely easy to use and this is his strong point. It is not original (see Copilot of Fogcreek), but more is absolutely free!
