Playing Online Games Pro-Style

One of the most intimidating parts of getting started with online gaming is getting over the fear of screwing things up for other players. It's one thing to play a game and make mistakes at home, but it's an entirely different thing to play a game and make mistakes that can cause failure in the game plays of others. But there's no reason to let this fear stop you or another gaming newbie from having fun. This article will give you the in's and out's of online gaming so that you can start with the confidence you need to continue on.

The first step anyone new to online gaming should take is to first, learn how to play offline. You can read the game's manual and save yourself from seeing the infamous acronym, "RTFM" scroll across your screen. Know what that acronym stands for? It stands for "Read The Fu**ing Manual" and its spewed by serious gamers to vulnerable newbies who interrupt a game with questions like, "What is this place?" or "What am I supposed to do?"

You could search the web for game related discussion groups, FAQ's, and walkthroughs. And you could learn more from game specific Usenet newsgroups. In other words, you could do your "homework." Some of the kind of information you want to learn includes how to play, how to create characters, how to gather equipment, and how to implement some smart strategies. Trust us when we say your gaming comrades will appreciate it!

In addition to reading how to play an online game, you can familiarize yourself with the game's interface. Just as you searched the net for a game's textual instruction, you can additionally search the net for a game's screenshot (or series of screenshots). Having a graphical representation (.gif or .jpg image) of a game on your screen gives you a chance to memorize where all the game's controls are. Knowing where everything is on a game before you play will speed things up not only for yourself, but also for everyone else. No one wants to wait for you to search for an inventory panel or message screen in a game when the location of these items is obvious to everyone else.

Once you start with a game, don't let the pressure of staying in the game prevent you from doing the unthinkable: dying. A character dying in a game is inevitable at certain points, and unless you willingly let go of a lose-lose situation, you'll run the risk of holding the game up for everyone else. It's like a game of chess. If it's checkmate - it's checkmate. Call it a day and start anew. Whatever you do, don't hang around waiting for some magical fairy to come to your rescue. Please let your character die with dignity.

On the same token, you don't want to take dying personally. Remember that online gaming is still just a game. A character that dies in a game is not representative of your character as a person. Turn a death into learning experience. At the very least, you'll learn your way around an online game by learning all the things that you aren't supposed to do!

Above all else, ensure that your computer has what it takes to maintain the current pace of an online game. Don't try to play an online game with a slow computer or slow Internet connection. In fact, if you're still using dial up, find another hobby. A slow processor and connection will ensure instant death because other players aren't going to politely wait for their own defeat. They're going to squash you like a bug.

Hunt around for a computer that was built for online gaming and get a DSL or ISDN Internet connection. You'll need a fast processor, a high quality graphics card, and a sound machine to match.

By following these simple suggestions, you will have passed the "newbie" test and earned respect as a serious gamer much more quickly than if you stumbled your way through what others pride as "the ultimate hobby."

Open Source Software

If you deal with computers and you have not heard about open source, do not worry: I guess you will not be very interested, although discussions foo non-computer people show enough interest, perhaps because of moral / philosophical color of this issue (or may simply want to end the conversation as quickly).

If you deal with a computer and not know it, you should look to go under the stone you.

The following paragraphs describe in simple terms what is open source and relevance of, to have any meaning these pages in all.
Free what?

Free software is software that is freely available. This means that when someone gained can use, copy, to study, modify and distribute it freely. This applies both to the source code and executable files for the program.
I do not understand.

The very quotation: Computers, as we already know, consisting of the hardware and software. The software is written, and again you will know already, with the help of programming languages, which are intermediate languages to "understand" both the people and their computers, such as C, Fortran (bliach), etc. This code is called source code (source code).

But as people are predominantly in the language you prefer, so the computers have their own: the machine language. As you yourself seem outrageous to say "for X from 1 to 4 fetch a glass of water" instead of "Bring 4 cups water, so the computers seem rather strange to say," Bring the memory of such and such "instead say" 101001010111 ". So, as someone who wants to build a program, ask a developer who understands from programming languages to write, so the computers have a special program, the compiler (compiler) to translate programming language into machine language.

The compilation of programming language to machine language is a bad thing, however: Because over-analyzing the process in very small pieces, "hiding" the implementation details of the program by others. Thus, when it is compile a program, there is no way to understand how the developer built it, especially when talking about complex programs.
The problem

Companies and developers in one place and then give their customers only executable files (the machine language) so that competitors could only see the result and not the implementation of programs. The evil of this approach, which was essentially a political, is that once created something quite complex, it is almost impossible for a competitor to build a peer product they have to "re-invent the wheel" for everything created what the other company.

Imagine being able to do this in all other industries: If a joke (but realistic and comparable) scenario, the hood of the car did not open, probably only one or two companies have handbrake or four-stroke engines, airbags and seatbelts! Obviously everyone would prefer the well-above-products, would create a monopolistic market and inevitably car technology would be years behind compared to today after one or two companies would develop the technology.

This, unfortunately or fortunately not far from reality in the world of computers. The very nature of computer software, created an environment where companies thrive-giants are using the system of closed source maintain a monopoly continuously. By restricting the freedom of others to have access to the heart of this using the source code, companies sell only the result and not the implementation.

The developers understand exactly the problems at all. Obviously, a treatment that would be available only in a clinic in the world would you mind not only doctors and patients. Or a security system in motor that would be the prerogative of a single car would impede not only the engineers and drivers who want another car with similar levels of security. So the restriction on our choices because of the monopoly of one or two companies in computers, it should be okay everyone, not just developers.
Free software

Several predicted some old problems will arise if the closed-source was the de facto way to develop the software. One of these was Richard Stallman, who from the beginning has known the problem and laid the foundations for developing a new type of program: free programs.

These programs, when acquired one (paying or not) have the right to see their code. Freedom, it is the same freedom that we can we make our cars to our engineer that has a car to "see" how a competitor created a technology such as turbo or belt and parking brake on improve its own models.

The open source and free software support this mode of development programs. Why the FLOSS is better than closed-source can understand with little moral and rational thought. Moreover, the Internet is a plethora of articles and columns on the advantages of open source, which describe the subject much better than I do myself.

Chinese 'invasion' in the top five list of super-computers

A Chinese super-computer, a Tianche-1, now occupied fifth place in the top enviable quintet of faster and larger computing "monsters" of the planet, another indication of the rising power of China in the international arena. In the first place is the "Jaguar" of Oak SC Ridge National Laboratory, USA. American "beasts" are also in the second and third place, while the fourth covers the "crown jewel" of Europe.

The Tianche-1, which is located at the National Center for Super-Computer in Tianjin city and is principally engaged in the search for oil and simulation projects for new aircraft, has 71,680 processors and has a speed of 563,1 teraflops.

By comparison, the No. 1 U.S. Cray named "Jaguar" has 224,162 processors and speed 1.759 petaflops. Used, inter alia, climate research, analyzes new materials and research in nuclear energy. The memory reaches 362 terabytes (almost three times that of the second largest super-computer). Thanks to broadband, researchers worldwide can access the 'Jaguar'.

In second place is the "Cursor» (Roadrunner) of Los Alamos National Laboratory (part of the U.S. Department of Energy), an IBM machine with 122,400 processors and 1.042 petaflops. Used to monitor the U.S. nuclear arsenal and for research in astronomy, genetics and climate change.

In third place is the "Kraken XT5" University of Tennessee in the U.S. and the world's fourth largest European computer, "Jugene", the German research center Forschungszentrum Juelich, an IBM BlueGene / P with 294,912 processors (more than any other the world) and 825,5 teraflops, according to the BBC.

The classification of super computers is at regular intervals and made the A list "Top 500 Supercomputers".

The list is dominated by the U.S., which have eight super-computers in the top ten and 277 total by the 500 fastest "monsters" recorded internationally. Europe has 153 super-computer systems (not bad), and of these, most (44) are in Britain.

Computer Viruses Are A Hot Topic

No matter who you talk to, everyone has either had a computer virus or knows of someone who has gone through the agony of trying to get rid of the problem. Computer viruses are a hot topic that seem to affect everyone who owns a computer system, whether at work or at home. The companies that produce software programs that catch and delete these computer viruses are constantly updating their databases for virus types and definitions so that they can better protect your system against all the newest viruses. Creating virus protection programs is a multi-billion dollar business that is growing more and more everyday. The number of viruses being created and uploaded to the Internet is growing at an astounding rate of a new one every eighteen seconds! This definitely keeps the virus protection companies on their toes with research and development.

Because these viruses copy themselves to any computer system they come in contact with, the spread of viruses throughout a computer network or the Internet is a very fast and deadly thing to happen to your computer. Because computer viruses are a hot topic, they routinely are the subject of magazine articles and forum topics online. While some viruses do nothing more than frustrate you with pop-up ads or other messages, others are completely malicious and set out from the start to destroy the files and operating systems of your computer.

Of the 53,000 viruses that have been identified and classed, more than 80 percent of them have been classed as malicious and capable of harming your computer system or data files. These computer viruses behave in much the same way as biological viruses by contaminating any computer systems they come in contact with. These self-executing programs are generally very small and work at damaging the way your computer works or by damaging or completely removing key system files.

When computer viruses are a hot topic, more and more people find out about the destructive power of these programs. In this way a great many people find out about virus protection programs and rush out to get the newest protection programs or they ensure that their computer virus protection is up to date. Many magazine and news articles about computer viruses have the effect of sometimes panicking people into believing that their computers are at risk. Having a good anti-virus program and current updates is one of the best ways to protect your computer system against virus attacks.

This must also be coupled with good file habits such as scanning all downloaded files with the anti-virus program before opening them. It is always a good idea to take the time to ensure that the file you thought you were downloading is indeed the file you have. For instance, a file that labels itself as a movie file and is less than one megabyte in size is not a movie file. Movie files are generally nearly a thousand times that size and therefore, the file you have downloaded is most likely not a movie file and may in fact be a computer virus.

Computer viruses are a hot topic at the office when a virus attack manages to get past protection protocols put in place by the network administrators. All it takes is one person allowing some executable files they have been sent to open and start replicating itself through the network of computers to make life Hell for that company. Virus attacks can cripple office systems very quickly resulting in lost revenue and consumer confidence which can affect the way that stocks in that company are traded resulting in even further financial losses. That is why it is so important for larger businesses to have comprehensive computer virus protection programs in place.

These virus programs are much more detailed and powerful than the anti-virus programs that many consumers have protecting their computer systems. Because the fallout from a virus attack is much more financially damaging to a large corporation, the virus protection program needs to be much more robust and capable of protecting multiple systems within the corporation. Computer viruses are a hot topic among businesses simply because of the way that they can affect the company financially.

Installing And Uninstalling Computer Software

Computer software has come a long way from the floppy disks we used to use where you had to tell the program to run the install and it was impossible to get rid of it once you had it loaded. Now with the new technology we have computer software can be installed and uninstalled with ease. All you have to do is have the CD or access to the software you are going to download. There are three ways to install software.

First, if you have the disc you just load it into the CD drive and let the computer auto load the program. More often, your computer will have an install wizard pop up and ask you questions about the install. The second way you may have to install the program is by going to the Start Menu. On the Start Menu, you will click on the run option then type in the location of the program or click browse. Browse will usually allow you to find the CD location and open the program. You will need to look for the setup.exe file and open it to start the download. The third option for installing computer software is not having the disc. Some companies will allow you to purchase the computer software directly from the Internet. These downloads will allow you to click on the download button, click run, and have the program go through the installation wizard all without a disc. This way is one of the easiest ways to get the computer software you need downloaded.

When you are looking at uninstalling software, you will also have a couple of options. There are programs that promise to remove software by downloading it. This means you can get rid of programs that you never wanted on your computer like the AOL and other items computers come with when they are purchased. This is the last option you may wish to go through. It will actually take all information off the hard drive. The simplest way to remove computer programs from your computer is using the program in your control panel. Go to the Start Menu, select settings and then click on the control panel. In the control panel, you will find an option for removing or adding programs.

When you open up the option you will just have to click on the item you want uninstalled and click on remove. The process usually asks you to close the program and ask if you want a complete un- installation of the computer software. The process can take several minutes or a few seconds depending on the file size. The last option for uninstalling computer software is using the actual installation disc. You will find that most programs have a built in uninstall program to help you remove the entire program from the computer.

You may need to uninstall programs if the installation process was not successful or if you have a new version of the computer software, you are trying to remove. Some programs will not write over existing files with an update instead they will down load the entire program again so that you have the older version and the newer version tying up your disc space. Programs that you do not need and that come with the computer can be removed using the “add or remove programs” in the control panel. Be very careful with the programs you are removing.

Make sure you know what the program is and that it is not vital to the running of your computer. If you remove something your computer needs to run by accident you may crash the entire hard drive. When you have trouble with an installation, it may be the disc you are using is incompatible with your other software or has been damaged. If the software you have purchased will not work, make sure to return it to the store and ask for an exchange and make sure that the program is compatible.

Technologies Bubble Jet Printer by Canon

True performance printing

Bubble Jet technology is the most famous proprietary technology of Canon. Canon is essentially the Bubble Jet technology has paved the way for the whole industry printers inkjet.
It is also worth noting that the discovery was made accidentally when a researcher noticed Canon's launch of a drop of ink from a syringe when it accidentally came into contact with a hot soldering iron.

Since the mid-1970s that took them and the movement later (mid 1980s) of BJ-10, the first bubble jet printer, mass production, Canon, through continuous research and development provides innovative printers that combine quality, speed, ergonomics, reliable operation and low total cost of ownership.

The new PIXMA photo printers use printheads technology FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) of Canon. The patented production method used by semiconductor Canon for the construction of warheads FINE makes it possible to create print heads with exceptionally high nozzle numbers and density. This technology gives Canon printers can achieve top speeds and superior print quality photos and documents. The FINE print heads allow the deposition of ink on paper more in less time than conventional technology, ink jet, producing rapid borderless photo printing.

The FINE print head also obtain quality professional photo lab thanks to tiny nozzles (Micro-Nozzles) using (9 mm diameter), which produce millions of microscopic droplets of ink per second - with volume up just 1 pikoliter (depending on model) - with stunning stability and accuracy.

For prints with enhanced fade resistance, PIXMA photo printers that support the system's ChromaLife100 Canon: a system of genuine ink dye-based Canon, which provides extremely wide range of colors and photo paper specially designed for use with print heads FINE. This technology triangle - the nozzle design, ink and media - provides printing comparable to that of traditional photographic workshops at quality, and in life. The prints remain unchanged for 100 years when stored in an album, 30 years when displayed behind glass and 10 years when exposed to the air.

Wii and Homebrew games-Unlock Wii instructions

If you’ve ever played games on your computer or gaming console, you will sooner or later lose attention and enthusiasm for them because you begin to understand you have memorized the process. In the car races, for example, the number of turns and road hazards existing are restricted to those loaded in the program, and they are repeated each time you play. When you already know all the turns to take when, interest disappears gradually and enthusiasm wanes. Changing the settings and condition of the race may also be restricted to those contained in the program itself, but you may wish to make them as you want.

What Homebrew is

Enter Homebrew. The Homebrew scheme permits a game fan to make use of the Wii platform for games and activities that Wii was not originally intended for. Home-produced games, engines that run olden but beloved PC games, or playing DVDs on the Wii are only a few of the possibilities. The Homebrew system allows its player to likewise backup the settings so they may be restored if the program goes bad for any reason. Best of all is, naturally, that the Homebrew system is free to use anytime you want. So perhaps you must learn to apply and use it.

How Wii was Hacked

Hacking means someone intrudes a software program or system without informing or getting the owner’s consent. It was made renowned in cinema when hackers created disorder in top secret security programs by entering and changing the computer software used in the system. But since you have purchased the Wii system, technically you also own the software or operating program, so there is no hacking done if you do alter it or use it for other purposes. Yet still, it is not what the manufacturer planned, so it is still hacking, though not the evil kind.
The Wii was first hacked by a program named Twilight Hack which used an odd part of the game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The hacking opened the console for playing other games not originally from Nintendo. But this hole was promptly stopped up with updates from Nintendo and soon Twilight Hack was obsolete. Lately, an alternative hacking program appeared, the Bannerbomb, which seeks to go around the plugging update from Nintendo. It used Wii’s proprietary operating system to open it up, allowing the entry of the changing software.

How to hack Wii

First, download the HackMii Installer and put it with the Bannerbomb in an SD card. Put the card in the Wii console and you have the Homebrew channel showing up in the main menu. After that you can copy the games one by one by way of a card reader, or use the Homebrew Browser for automatic installation. Then you can load them into the /apps folder of the program to make possible everything for use in whichever way you want.

Just one thing: Don’t allow Nintendo update your console software image or you will have to do it all over again. Learning how to unclock wii console will be of great benefit for you as a game player.

How to watch Satellite TV on Your PC

Learn how to watch satellite tv on pc below:


A fantastically excellent improvement pertaining to computers today is the program which enables anyone with a personal computer (PC) to watch television on a Computer. It essentially converts your PC into a television screen and you can watch around 3,500 channels from all over the world. That is, apart from for those community-specific broadcasts, where the range is limited to the area and do not use the communications satellites for broadcasting. Like radars, they cannot break through above the level of their horizons, if they can even reach that far.

Yet, since you are unable to see all TV programs at the same time except if you have multiple PCs, the number of channels offered should be enough for your desires, which is one ---or two at the most--- at a time anyway. They contain those from the major TV companies, the best productions in sports, movies, educational, shopping, news, radio, weather, children’s, and a lot of others in maybe a hundred diverse languages. Practically, you are offered an almost endless variety of shows in almost any language, accessible virtually anywhere via the Internet.

Yet its most convenient feature is its handiness. Imagine taking your TV anywhere you can tote your laptop and view ---airport, bar, park, highway, office (during breaks only, mind), and possibly when you are in the middle of the lake waiting for the fish to bite…the potentials are nearly never-ending. You never have to lose track of your favorite sports game or drama, prices of stocks, trivia contests, news around the world and several others just because you are on a trip out of town. Using the convenience of satellite television you can take your TV programs to nearly anywhere you would be.

Additionally, you pay only a one-time fee and all viewing you make after that is gratis. Such a program used to cost more than $300.00 and the monthly subscription payments, but today there is only the set-up fee you pay only once. Thus it is infinitely less expensive than subscribing to cable service and even using the prepaid choice that you pay for prior to using. In transmitting satellite signals to your PC, the system utilizes the free-to-air (FTA) digital transmit medium.

To fully access the system, your computer should have as minimum a processor of 300MHz (Pentium4 or equivalent), Windows OS, 520 megabyte RAM and a 56K connection speed, DSL or Broadband. This is because the quality of viewing depends on the speed the video stream is read by the PC. Otherwise you will see jerky movements and broken up dialogues. With the fee comes the software that allows your PC to access the Internet TV feed. After downloading and installing the small software that come with the fee, you are ready to watch television on your PC.
A different system uses a PC-TV card plus a program to run it, and this could be as useful as the first one. You just have to comparison-shop if you want. And view out for scams: some people sell these at outrageous prices. Anymore and it’s excessive.

Therefore view your television program as you like it, where you like it.

Registry Cleaner software are good for your computer

How a registry functions

When an operating system is loaded onto a workstation system, a registry system is automatically created to register what settings, information, data files and other information are there in the PC. The registry acts like a list of sorts to record all the appropriate -and often the unrelated-information for easier access by the operating system. Without a registry and the information are scattered at arbitrary in the system, the workstation will take forever to go over, choose, retrieve and use the necessary information.

Now it gets problematical

Using the PC allows the periodic entry of updates to file systems, settings and other software necessities from time to time, further complicating the operating course of action. If you can imagine an arabesque of lines all interrelated with each other, you may see an inkling of what a convoluted registry looks like. And if you know what a garden maze looks like…

Moreover, although new updates are loaded into the system, the old files they replaced or superseded are not deleted nor filed in other places. They stay where they are, and even though not used, are still accessed by the computer’s operating system each time you boot the machine to use it. In other words, the operating system scans each file, determines if it is relevant to the operation at hand, retrieves it if it is and discards it if not, and proceeds to the next file, copying the required file into the memory for use in the operation. A good registry cleaner is regcure from paretologic. Look at the following regcure review.

An update may have a lot of information, many of them unneeded because they are already obsolete or replaced by later versions. Yet they still will be loaded into your system if you are not careful and be selective in what you download. If your operating system is a rather old system, for example, and you update it only a long time afterwards, all the updates between your last update and the present will be loaded into your PC, regardless of whether they are obsolete, superseded, amended, or otherwise adapted by new ones. If it is not already in your system, in it goes.

The after-effect

Ultimately a registry loaded with not needed information is made that the system yet reads each time. All these retard the PC’s operation and may even make it crash later if left uncorrected for some time. A crash completely halts the operation and may, at the same time, damage the system itself by corrupting bits of information. Too much conflict among the directions and something is bound to give up somewhere sometime.

A registry cleaner scans the registry from beginning to end, eliminating the unnecessary and irrelevant entries, then closes up the gaps created. This compacts the system for easier and faster access by the operating system and your computer works much better. So you not only need a registry cleaner, but you should use it as often as weekly. Another regcure review can be found on the previous link.
