The task manager in Windows is well and good, but it goes even better. Better is the freeware-tool system, the Explorer is far more than the sandy task manager in the popular operating system.
The System Explorer shows you system information, such as processes, installed drivers, and links to current addons. Next registry and file-snapshot can be created and saved to compare it with previous or future system settings, if needed.
Other alternatives and tools that are far better and more mature, as are the Windows standards, the System Information Tool Process Explorer and the system monitoring tool Process Monitor. Both are comparable to the System Explorer, with the one or Other user-friendly tools for each of the three is.
The System Explorer 2.0.1 runs under all Windows systems, including Microsoft Windows 7.

Hardware firewalls: A little tip
A little hint: In the near future will be the topic of "firewall increasingly addressed. Especially the "Firewall" is in my estimation will be more noticed soon.
I refer in this context is already down to "Yoggie", which (a variety of hardware solutions for home users) ready to act in any case intererssant. The overview can be found here. Specifically, the USB/PCExpress solution would be for small offices and home users of interest, especially as it normally can log in via SSH and change the system.
On the other hand, as much realism must be, is hardly a standard, users can log in via SSH, much can you configure on a console iptables/ipchains. To that extent, "normal" users in the future from the offeror or an external service, subject to - which is inevitabl

Sort results by chance in MySql
The MySql function rand () can query a random sequence of results in Mysql. If we add to these in his "order by" clause is a chance the results will be sorted. The whole looks like this:
select * from tabellenname order by rand()
It is for larger results note the following: As with any MySql functions will be executed within a query also affects rand () negatively on the performance out. If the result returns only a few lines, it is no problem with safety. At 1,000 or 10,000 records, the query has been delayed by a few 100ths of seconds. That may be at first glance, not much in performance-critical applications, or those that have many simultaneous requests, develops this circumstance, however, a drawback.
In such cases, it offers the chance to insert themselves in to sort table another column. For these will be provided as data type double and set a corresponding index. The insert command must be supplemented in each case:
insert into tabellenname set feld1=’wert1′, feld2=’wert2′, random=rand();
If you sort it directly via the index random field, the query is working much faster. However, it should first be considered whether the sorting of the new field is not ultimately prove to be disadvantageous. That would be the case if the query is used only rarely, and the MySql Server but little memory is available. For then the additional index may unnecessarily block the memory, the other queries need more necessary.

Mysql - recover debian-sys-maint account password
You would need as a Debian user specific start and stop scripts for MySql. These have unfortunately also the implication that Debian also created a separate user with own password: debian-sys-maint. The result of a careless handling of this fact could be that you accidentally overwrite this password, delete the user away, because nothing can do with it.
This will, however, after one "flush priviliges Or restarting the database to the problem.
The next reboot that is running next to it and kills the Debian MySql process. That's a not just at the sight of the console angst, it can have serious consequences. For the commonly used MyISAM table format allgergisch highly responding to a kill command. At least then, you know someone is in the database to write. The table on which was written during the kill command is then in fact be erstmal marked as crashed and should be repaired, which again poses new risks.
It's called security... Since the start and stop being root of the database does not have to. Actually, you should root almost never use it except to create vllt to other users. And since I'm still a question: if you have now overwritten your password and the database is not running anymore, how will you access the database to change the password ... There is still missing the reference vllt then start MySQL manually. Since the start of the script is nothing more.
Restoration of password
The password for the Mysql user debian-sys-maint located in the file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.
Now only the following is done:
1.log in to the MySql server as root
2.using use mysql switch to the mysql database
3.using update mysql set password = password (Kennword-from-the-configfile) WHERE User = 'debian-sys-maint' password setting
4.flush privileges execute an amendment to incorporate
Alternatively, you can simply reset password in the configuration file. It should be noted that twice in the file. Once a section [client] and once in the section [mysql-upgrade].

My computer does not restart, or shuts down
A few days before I reinstall Windows 2000 need. Before, everything was fine. Until now .... Boot or program using a problem. Only if I want Unignore him or restart, nothing happens. If I want aushaben him, I have to press the button. What's wrong? For, without new start, I can not install my printer correctly.
If this is also in the boot (cold switch on) is probably the switch is broken when you restart the operation from the mean it rather shows that the operating system is running smoothly.

Where can I find drivers for my computer?
I am looking for drivers for my computer (Acer Aspire 5610) for example, for the video card and all this because I will make my new computer. Does anyone of you a few pages, where you get to her? Or where on my computer so I can save and then install? Happy new year and thank you! I really need any driver you need to ... There are quite a lot! How do I know now what I need for my computer? Many thanks to Decker and Paiwan! Unfortunately it must be decided by a coin!
On the home page of the video driver you could find the driver. Unfortunately, you have not told us which driver you need ... Otherwise you ever need to search Google for the software that you want.
To find out what hardware is installed on your Acer, thee I download SiSoft Sandra: The software analyzes your Acer and show you what hardware is installed. Afterwards you just go to the home page or the hardware manufacturer and invite download the appropriate driver. You burn the drivers to a CD, then you have them ready for a new installation.

Which computer game has inspired you the most so far?
What Were you stuck for months or weeks to get through to solve it or something? And what game Iht currently happy? Thanks for your answers.
The GTA and the GTA from GT series at part 3 (because from then 3d) gt and really takes a very very long time to win all the races, if you like online role-playing World of Warcraft has very very long game, offline, eg Morrowind and Oblivion, with online Of course shooters Counter Strike Source. In racing games does The Tony Hawk series quickly endless fun.
The Settlers I've played quite happy, especially the first versions, the graphics were still knuffiger and you had to create the path yourself ... got Railroad Tycoon, long I played. Strange really, the game is not the hit, but it's totally stress-free and it's easier to relax ... Command & Conquer Day of the Tentacle The first game that I really liked Morrowind was "elite". from today is of course completely out of date. Some games also make just the two of really fun, the whole zb Racing. I like very much like Need for Speed. important: it must have oncoming traffic, not even a "pure rennspiel. a lot more fun when you can push each other in other cars ...
Diablo 2 I've played through dozens of times. I habs sooo loved! hm ... actually I still have this afternoon anyway before anything yet. :-)
Metal Gear Solid. The continuations could be kicking in the barrel, but the first was very horny. The first two Monkey Island, Zak McKracken, Final Fantasy I also loved. Larry was of course very forefront. Currently I play Metal Gear Solid 3 (to be even older, but not as much time to play), and burnout.

Can I play my iTunes library on another computer?
I mean just a file transfer, etc. stick to another computer and then open it with iTunes so that all titles will be imported here without importing each track, no, I do not mean it that I mean all the playlists etc to be inserted and I rename the songs were not all new, etc must be.
You can select "File => Add folder to library" add an entire folder. When it comes to all personal inputs (Score, all playlists, etc .... Page) that you can export via File => Media Library "to create a file containing all information available. Only the MP3 information you need to copy itself. The music files must be located on both computers in exactly the same folder, or you need the music in exactly the same folders to copy ( "C's" or whatever) with a little idea about file paths, XML and the Replace function in text editors you can customize the resulting file Mediathek.xml paths on a pinch yourself ....

using Windows Vista computers with a new motherboard?
I have an Aldi computer and would like to buy him a new chassis, motherboard, power supply but I wonder whether the operating system can then contain old again? Because it is written on the CD: Distribution only with a new Medion PC! I mean they can no longer use or do you mean I should use them only with a PC?
Well, THAT is probably an OEM version of operating system.
Use is, there will be difficulties in enrolling in stock to Kleinweich/MSM.
In any case, make sure the driver CD present a DES Motherboard DAS is included.
The Aldi-CD will no longer walk with a new board of directors. Because the devices are integrated drivers for this Mediontyp. An OEM version of Vista without device drivers are installed on the fix for XP from the CD. Only replace power supply and case is not a problem. Other components have to be of service re-Registered. Product key is made up of board serial number, processor, video card, hard drive together.

Windows 7 Xp Mode
In Windows 7 There is more than most users could now see for themselves, an often overlooked feature, but that has the potential to upset the way operating systems are developed in the future, the XP mode.
The XP-Mode is a virtualization solution. That means roughly that an operating system within another is simulated. But where now is the benefit?
Many older programs refuse to operate under current operating systems. In principle, we as developers had two choices:
* It Kompatiblitätsforderungen ignores and takes in buying the older programs no longer work, but it has no "bad debts", such as old APIs that must be considered functionally
* It provides for backwards compatibility, but that it buys the old functions have to be continued, even if the current operating system is not used anymore
With the XP mode, but we can now proceed, therefore, and say, "Okay, we want to support some old programs, like contemporary but want to use APIs. To take the actual operating system now has no more regard to backwards compatibility, when an old program now has problems then get it
Well, what can one say about this great. Really just another reason to push the elderly finally XP in new worlds. For such software (and we're really only talking of old games, application software, but who can hardly use before 10 years old) can still run a Windows 98 image to a VM-Ware, which is unchanged from the XP mode.
I think of an idea has played in deciding to integrate such a mode, the "XP is the best operating system, including Vista and Windows 7 will never be as good / be" advocates the wind to take something out of the sails.
Above all, as a student you can not have everything. But is it really now that it is the version from the 15 Of July is preorder, must download? I once read somewhere that Microsoft is considering sending the W / version on USB sticks for laptop owners ... I want so one!

Ubuntu Rescue Remix
After the system crash, the panic is so great and well thought-out backup strategy shows like once a small, but important gaps. Those who seek tools to save what can still be saved, which should be in the Ubuntu Rescue Remix remember - an Ubuntu specific as data recovery compilation to boot from the CD and also from a USB stick.
It is available - just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 - via http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/

Check Who provides Java in Ubuntu
Quick check of who provides Java under Ubuntu goes like this:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Faster it goes like this:
ls-l /etc/alternatives/java
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Faster it goes like this:
ls-l /etc/alternatives/java
Programs with the console or system
Sometimes it may be useful to be able to call a systemwide on the shell, if for example you. Features of CakePHP and Android SDK often times required. These programs will typically not be in the bin folder. And there really is a symlink in the directory usr /local/bin , create and edit the file ~ /.bashrc. There simply insert the following line at the end:
PATH="$PATH:/path/to/programmDirectory"
Then still must remember the current session or that something in the. Bashrc has changed. This means the file. .bashrc Reload. Done!

Create MP3 on Ubuntu
Because my iPod from the year 2004, it is important for me to use the non-free MP3 format for my audio files. Once the iPod abraucht will also be over.
Ubuntu must be installed under the program Sound Juicer. From Ubuntu 8.10, it is no longer included in the desktop installation.
sudo apt-get sound-juicer
Then, to successfully create MP3s to it takes three packages:
sudo apt-get install lame gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
Another subtlety. The quality can be under Edit> Preferences> Edit Profiles . Setting There on Edit and then adding sowas:
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=1 quality=0 vbr=0 bitrate=192 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux

htop - Process Viewer in Linux
Who is looking for a program that reads the system processes and their impact? Try the Linux Application htop. htop is loading the system utilization, as opposed to ps constantly, so you always "live" since.
The great thing about htop that the CPU and memory usage in an ASCII art is displayed. In addition, you can assign the function of the processes. Another nice feature is that you can scroll through the processes.
To Install htop in Debian:
# apt-get install htop
Calling it can simply by typing it into the command line as follows:
# htop

change SSH startup text
Do you want to change the SSH startup text, which was set by your server provider? Do the following tutorial, and you can leave from any text or ASCII welcome pictures.
You to your connecting to a server as root. Open the file /etc/motd using
nano /etc/motd
and erases everything, or just a get out what you will no longer have.
Then you can insert your desired text, or ASCII-picture there. To save by introducing its CTRL + O. Exit the file with CTRL + X or CTRL + X.
The changes you fall on already at next login.

larger Swap partition with additional swap files
When the free memory in RAM and swap space is not enough in Linux, one can with a simple trick to increase the available memory. Indeed, it is easily possible to use any files on systems other than swap file.
To create a 1024MB swap file and activate satisfy the following two commands.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
# mkswap /swapfile

Howto use apt without a GUI and terminal
Apt is a great package management, it is all Debian derivatives. I like to use apt on the console that has become over the years, so in my eyes and goes much faster than using Synaptic.
If you know the name of the package will install it, it can very quickly install on the console.
If you stand with the console on war footing, since one can apturl (Ubuntu 7 is available in the sources if you do not already installed) to use.
By pressing Alt + F2, you can start the application directly (similar to Start-> Run under Windows). apt is here: a package name, the system transfers the call directly through apturl apt-get and you can plan a package, without console use directly install. Apt will install the necessary dependencies automatically, you need only enter their password in order to obtain the necessary rights.

Fslint - Clean and organize your Linux
With increasing life expectancy of systems, it is also putting garbage on these data, dopplte files whether they are pictures or music files are a common occurrence... Even a good Linux distribution leaves tracks like empty directories, broken links, duplicate files... And with one or more large disk, this problem is increasing.
Fslint is the software that will help you. Available in either graphical mode or console mode. The program is written in python and you will select the paths to be analyzed.
You can use Fslint to Duplicate Files find and delete in Ubuntu. The installation is done quickly. Then there is the GUI under System Tools, and can be started from there. The home directory is the pre-selection, after starting the program, and will recursively. Other directories or the entire file system can quickly add and browse as well.
The search results are neatly listed, grouped and displayed with the same file path. For your own safety, you can switch from the list in which the files contain folders and see if the file is then necessary, or delete them directly.
Q: It searches for her identical files only by name, or can it distinguish when in text documents is somewhat different drinne or have a different update date?
A: This will create a hash of the content and also cross-checked.

Editra - Free multi-platform text editor
Today I'm encountered on the free text editor Editra, which is primarily aimed at programmers. It looks good and is free for personal use. There are Codefolding, Codecompletation, plugins, etc... The editor is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
I like it actually quite good. Consumes little memory, but still offers a wide range of functions. Mention should be made in any case, the large repertoire of programming and Highlightening of syntax fragments.
For completeness, I will call you, but still a good option with which you can comfortably work with: Eclipse. That Eclipse Project offers you a variety of different individual solutions (for Java EE, PHP, C/C++).
In the university and at home I use the Eclipse C/C++ compiler and I'm happy with the program Editra.

Install VMware Tools in Debian
Here is how to install VMware Tools in Debian. All commands in the Web interface leads you logically, more precisely, from there into the existing console. The network connection is briefly separated the virtual machine during the installation.
~ # cd /mnt/
/mnt # mkdir cdrom
[Now in the Web interface to install VMware Tools]
/mnt # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
/mnt # cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-* /tmp/
/mnt # cd /tmp/
/tmp # tar -zxpf VMwareTools *
/tmp # umount /dev/cdrom
/tmp # cd vmware-tools-distrib/
/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib # ./vmware-install.pl
The sensible default values can actually rubber-stamp all. The required modules are automatically created and loaded.
~ # cd /mnt/
/mnt # mkdir cdrom
[Now in the Web interface to install VMware Tools]
/mnt # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Monitoring the hard disks in Linux
The monitoring of the hard drives of my server, I realize the following tools:
* smartmontools (monitor S.M.A.R.TValues of the hard drives)
* hddtemp (monitor hard drive temperature)
Installation and setup of smartmontools:
~ # apt-get install smartmontools
I activate the smart-daemon, which automatically will check at specified intervals, the SMART Values:
~ # vi /etc/default/smartmontools
# Uncomment to start smartd on system startup
start_smartd = yes
The following entry in the file smartd.conf my hard drives regularly reviews:
/dev/sda -a -o on -S on -s (O/../.././(00|06|12|18)|S/../.././01|L/../../6/03) -d sat -H
-a: S.M.A.R.T all observed values
-o: on regular off-line tests are activated
-S: on the autosave feature is enabled
-d: sat smartd says that we are dealing with SATA disks
-H: indicates the health status of
Regular monitoring of your syslog, there is smartd (warnings and spend, of course, simple messages such as changes in temperature, etc).
Of course you can check the SMART values by hand, a complete overview of all stored data and the current error status with you get:
~ # smartctl -a /dev/sda
Installation and setup of apache:
~ # apt-get install hddtemp
I did not start apache as a daemon, but always by hand. In my case, I ask from the temperature of three hard disks:

* smartmontools (monitor S.M.A.R.TValues of the hard drives)
* hddtemp (monitor hard drive temperature)
Installation and setup of smartmontools:
~ # apt-get install smartmontools
I activate the smart-daemon, which automatically will check at specified intervals, the SMART Values:
~ # vi /etc/default/smartmontools
# Uncomment to start smartd on system startup
start_smartd = yes
The following entry in the file smartd.conf my hard drives regularly reviews:
/dev/sda -a -o on -S on -s (O/../.././(00|06|12|18)|S/../.././01|L/../../6/03) -d sat -H
-a: S.M.A.R.T all observed values
-o: on regular off-line tests are activated
-S: on the autosave feature is enabled
-d: sat smartd says that we are dealing with SATA disks
-H: indicates the health status of
Regular monitoring of your syslog, there is smartd (warnings and spend, of course, simple messages such as changes in temperature, etc).
Of course you can check the SMART values by hand, a complete overview of all stored data and the current error status with you get:
~ # smartctl -a /dev/sda
Installation and setup of apache:
~ # apt-get install hddtemp
I did not start apache as a daemon, but always by hand. In my case, I ask from the temperature of three hard disks:
~ # hddtemp /dev/sd{a..c}
/dev/sda: WDC WD5000AAVS-00ZTB0: 29°C
/dev/sdb: SAMSUNG HD103UJ: 20°C

samba with ufw firewll tutorial in Ubuntu
Under Ubuntu 8.10 I find the firewall. For the first time met and was surprised how easy is it to implement such a thing yet. In this mini-tutorial, I explain how to open the firewall for Samba.
General information:
Notes: With root privileges to run]
~# ufw enable (Enable the firewall)
~# ufw disable (Disable the firewall)
~# ufw default deny (First Blocks all network traffic)
Samba:
~# vi /etc/default/ufw
Following line:
# The nf_contrack_netbios_ns has been added
IPT_MODULES = "nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc"
Following entry supplemented by a space before the quotation marks:
»Nf_conntrack_netbios_ns
It looks like this:
IPT_MODULES = "nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc nf_conntrack_netbios_ns"
~# ufw allow proto udp from 10.10.10.0/24 to any port 137
~# ufw allow proto udp from 10.10.10.0/24 to any port 138
~# ufw allow proto tcp from 10.10.10.0/24 to any port 139
~# ufw allow proto tcp from 10.10.10.0/24 to any port 445
Explanation:
proto: Protocol, that is udp or tcp
from 10.10.10.0/24: All the addresses of my network so (10.10.10.1-255) access (IP address)
to any: Available at any address in my network (destination address)
port: The releasable Port
(Port-rank, there is so free: 55000:55050 - enabled the ports from 55,000 to 55,050)
To remove port created shares back to simply add "delete", type:
~# ufw delete allow proto udp from 10.10.10.0/24 to any port 137

Foxit Reader - Free PDF Reader
The makers of Foxit Reader has recently launched a new version of the 2.0 edition made available for download. It includes a revised interface that is now available in several languages. In addition a form wizard, the dynamic downloading of add-ons and more.
Foxit Reader is closely modeled on the appearance of the original product, the Adobe Reader. The software starts impressively quickly, and offers the same features as the large model. A number of unnecessary plugins, which are usually in Acrobat Reader loaded on startup, even from the beginning have not been packed in the package. Thus it will also load much faster than its big brother Adobe Acrobat Reader.
For me, Foxit Reader is the freeware alternative to look at PDF files!

Thunderbird was my first email client and will stay so for the foreseeable future. The benefits are likely to be known to mostly yes: free, great community, many extensions, good set-up wizard with partially automated email accounts setup, linking with , other web sites and and and .... A lot more information and tips you can book you in Caschy obtains the Thunderbird is also a big supporter. So much to do so.
Today I'm encountered on DreamMail, a potentially equal rank mail client. Dream Mail includes a POP3 e-mail client, address book, RSS news, a spam filter, notepad and a search function. It also supports some webmail services.
If you run the program for the first time, the first of the set-up wizard - just launched the Thunderbird -. There you have the following choices. Again, you should setup an automatic input and output, therefore, recognition for your e-mail service. The menu structure is in the leaning of Thunderbird so that users probierfreudige and Thunderbirdanhänger without problems should find his way, also have an RSS reader is also on board.
Now The portable version works fine. I like Dream mail. What do you think of it?

Apache2 with mod_rewrite under Suse/Novell
It could be anything so beautifully simple. There are Debian servers because it is simple. There are also Suse bwz. Novell server that it is not so. Today I got the request whether I might somehow on a root server views might look for the mod_rewrite. Sure I can. Until I found that this is a Suse system.
Seen from Debain view, I thought: what happens with apt, it must also go with Yast. That is nonsense, of course, gross, because mod_rewrite is not because the speech. Not even if it looks in detail. The key to success is a file named:
/etc/sysconfig/apache2
There is an entry "APACHE_MODULES= ... ". This entry has the value "mod_rewrite" be added. Then needs to be on the console SuSEconfig be executed, resulting in Suse seems to ensure that the settings made there are also written in the correct configuration files.
For yet a little farewell
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
That's it.

Optimization Windows XP & Vista Start Menu
The Windows Start menu works with a certain delay and Microsoft wants to reduce in this way. If you know much about the start menu opens or starts programs, documents will be pleased this time to shorten something.
Open the registry: Click Start Menu - Run Regedit, and then maneuvered to the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
and change the parameter MenuShowDelay from the registered value. This indicates the delay in milliseconds.
After restarting your computer, you can now click proceed much faster through your menus.

CopyPasteTool - a clipboard manager ultralight
It must then pass the browser software or webware making notes constantly. This makes us lose precious time. It would be easier to copy everything and then turn to paste information one to one at appropriate places. You need a Simple, effective small program.
CopyPasteTool is a tiny free program for Windows that lets you copy multiple items in succession to the clipboard, then paste them as usual by using shortcuts CTRL-C/CTRL-V. The difference is that if you use several times the combination CTRL-V. The previously copied items are pasted in succession.
For example, you can copy by:
* CTRL-C : copy the element A
* CTRL-C : copy the element B
* CTRL-C : copy the element C
* CTRL-V : paste
This seems simplistic, but it saves enormous time and productivity is greatly improved.
During installation, a small icon will sit in the notification area. The software runs in the background and consumes very little memory.

Thunderbird - Open Source email client
Mozilla has published the version 3.0 of its Mail program Thunderbird a few days. The developers have put the focus on the easier handling and better search options. Another innovation is the introduction of tabs, similar to the browser that allow the parallel opening and editing individual messages in the client. It is possible to Internet services such as Google Calendar better use with Thunderbird, so Mozilla.
I'm excited about the new Thunderbird. Somehow, everything has improved and become more beautiful. Except that you can not export the settings from all accounts, and import and it remains an extra-secure tool must be used, or the folder manually. Perhaps in the 4th Edition will have!
Thunderbird 3.0 for Windows, Mac and Linux systems is available now.

Remove passwords for PDF files
There is currently a nice little Windows tool with the appropriate name PDF Password Remover. Who here thinks now that bad, no, it simply does not remove the passwords, but you must enter before. This can for instance be the case if you have some times create a PDF document that has protected with a password, but if it no longer needed. However, it provides for PDF files, which does not require a password to open, but only limited available are already different. I took a PDF, where you could not print, and also copy any text. These restrictions are defined by the PDF Password Remover simply removed.
The handling is very easy to start after installing the computer easy and you can release the protected files via the context menu of their limitations. Then we find a second PDF file in the same folder, which has the same name with an extension.
This program is really great! So I myself was also off at times and even before the problem is that I, for example a PDF document could not print it. So far I know no solution for such cases, but I will use in the future of this program. I'm going to download the same time, because otherwise I stress when I have, again, not REMEMBER.
Second possibility, one uses the program interface PDF Password RemoverThen you can also edit multiple files. Here you will also have the choice whether you edited the files in a separate folder would take.
The program I have to remember definitely!! We always get our phone bill by pdf ;) ;) no, I'm rubbish solcherei lot to do with problems at work. Because that would be brilliant if one again just how DAU has described the security Ausprobiert.

eyeOS - Free Online cloud operating system
In a cloud computing operating system is an operating system that is installed on a Web server and the user has a fully running system.
eyeOS Cloud is a free web-desktop environment that runs completely on a server on the Internet. And it is developed for about 4 years and offers many features that we know from a normal operating system. These include: multi-user support, software installation and much more. eyeOS is a web browser operating system based on PHP and AJAX technologies. I was really fascinated. Do you know eyeOS?

Piwik - Free Web analytics
To get detailed statistics on traffic to its own website on Google Analytics is probably the best known method. Of course with Analytics can represent not only the traffic to a website, but also more moderate further details, such as the visit duration, consider where or which browser the visitor to the site. Google Analytics we have also briefly looked at, but it was quite eccentric.
Whether you want to entrust this important information should be answered by each Google itself. Analytics alternatives are given in any case. One solution, which also still open source, I would like to describe here.
Piwik is an open source software. The nice thing is that Piwik is installed on your own Web server and leave the data collected thus never own server. I installed it today - and it's a damn good thing. Not only as a Google Analytics alternative, one should prefer to all cases considered.
Piwik is installed quickly(Required PHP version is only 5.1 and Mysql database.), Via a web browser, as you know it from Wordpress or other content management systems. Then you can start it had - as in this type of software is the case, on the site, which should be evaluated, incorporated a small JavaScript snippet, and already the tool counts the visitors and holds together a lot of other information. The dashboard is similar to Google Analytics, but is not quite as nicely designed.
The great advantage of Piwik: there are no data sent through the history of the world, Google will bundle and sell such information is not be able to use - it will remain exclusively in your hand on your Web server. It is also important to mention that there are no IPs themselves are displayed in the backend. These are only stored in the database. The makers of Piwik but they are already aware that in this respect in Germany is a confusing legal system.
In Piwik multiple users can be created, divided into simple Members - the statistics only can see. In addition, there are the roles Administrator and Super Administrator. There is also the possibility that any visitor can see the statistics, as with Piwik is even the case. Each user can customize his dashboard. With just a click widgets can be added and removed. Easy does it really do not - even though I at first glance, the link Add Widget is not noticed.
For Wordpress there is in fact a plug-in -- WP-Piwik. It accesses the data via API and represents a small selection of more or a few statistics in the WP as a backend.

Speccy - Depict Hardware & System Information clearly
About Addictivetips I stumbled again on a really successful software. The software manufacturer Piriform should already many tools such as CCleaner, Defraggler or Recuva . They has now released another free program that collects the key hardware and software information and is used clearly in an organized manner, and the beautiful name call Speccy bears.
When the program is launched, it initially presents an overview about the built-Hardware, the temperature, and the installed operating system.
Mounted on the left navigation bar, the individual hardware components and the operating system can be selected to obtain more details on each sub. Speccy then show additional useful information about the built-up CPU or GPU.
Even for fanatics portable software is available on the manufacturer's site is also a version available for download on the road. Overall, definitely a nice tool, which was not expected at Piriform differently, since I am also a long time satisfied user of CCleaner and Defraggler.
That's a very nice tool. For a quick overview class just because it's really too portable. let's see how this develops further. I have the time and tested on my main system, if working properly, all data correspond to that of HWiNF032 software. On my laptop (Windows 7), it does not recognize the Docingstation. Let's see how it evolved.
Who detailed system information, such as by PC WIZARD or HWiNFO32 who want or need, it should still keep away from Speccy, since it is still beta - even if I have repeated myself now.
Of course there are situations in which still needed more detailed information. There are then software such as Everest or SiSoft Sandra.
Anyone who has ever wanted to know views on what I work for a computer, which should be hereby satisfied including.A very interesting part, especially Graphically better than the typical Windows little room windows with gray/white background.
When the program is launched, it initially presents an overview about the built-Hardware, the temperature, and the installed operating system.
Mounted on the left navigation bar, the individual hardware components and the operating system can be selected to obtain more details on each sub. Speccy then show additional useful information about the built-up CPU or GPU.
Even for fanatics portable software is available on the manufacturer's site is also a version available for download on the road. Overall, definitely a nice tool, which was not expected at Piriform differently, since I am also a long time satisfied user of CCleaner and Defraggler.
That's a very nice tool. For a quick overview class just because it's really too portable. let's see how this develops further.

Taskbar Shuffle and katmouse utility
On the PC, everything should work easily, otherwise one is frustrated very quickly. But even if everything runs smoothly, there are always little things bother to one used in the Software. Even with Windows XP, which is currently probably the most widely used operating system for private networks, there are some things disturb - but one can fix.
Taskbar Shuffle
Each started program is at the bottom of the Windows taskbar. Most people have grown accustomed to over the years that there is a certain order. In my case, for example, starts first time the file explorer, then the Thunderbird. As such, these two programs are the first two in the taskbar. Normally you can not change the order of the programs in hindsight: if only a few, I would open Firefox window and then the Thunderbird, the Thunderbird would be somewhere right of the taskbar and not the left (of habit where he would belong to me). Although this is actually really not care, but nice it would be natural to wonder if you could lie down for the programs in the groin, just as one wants. And it will work. With the free software Taskbar ShuffleI can highly recommend.
KatMouse
If one variety of graphical Linux/Unix systems knows, you know to appreciate one thing: It is the mouse over a particular window and it can scroll with the scroll wheel on your mouse - without having to first activate the window. In some well-developed Windows-based programs is also possible, for example, in Mozilla Thunderbird: If I mouse over the inbox, I can scroll with the scroll wheel and when I go with the mouse on the e-mail view I can also scroll as immediately. In most other applications that does not work, but this creates the free program KatMouse Remedy.
