My Computer Takes Forever to Boot Up! My Computer Takes Forever to Boot Up! A friend calls -- did you get my email? Did you see that hilarious video? One of the most common complaints we hear is how long it takes to start up a computer. Older computers are, of course, more likely to suffer from these symptoms. A Word About Anti-Virus Software Before we begin, we would be remiss if we didn't mention anti-virus software. Startup Slowdown One of the primary culprits on a slow-starting PC is the array of junk that has been placed on the machine by the programs we use (and don't use). You can see what programs are on your computer's startup list by clicking the Start button, then Run, then typing MSCONFIG, then pressing Enter. Look through the list and see if you recognize anything you don't or rarely use. A process library site (which you can find in Search) can help explain what individual startup items do and if they are needed. Font Fog Another little-known trick is to remove fonts. Other Ideas

How Twitter Stores 250 Million Tweets a Day Using MySQL Jeremy Cole, a DBA Team Lead/Database Architect at Twitter, gave a really good talk at the O'Reilly MySQL conference: Big and Small Data at @Twitter, where the topic was thinking of Twitter from the data perspective. One of the interesting stories he told was of the transition from Twitter's old way of storing tweets using temporal sharding, to a more distributed approach using a new tweet store called T-bird, which is built on top of Gizzard, which is built using MySQL. Twitter's original tweet store: Temporally sharded tweets was a good-idea-at-the-time architecture. Temporal sharding simply means tweets from the same date range are stored together on the same shard.The problem is tweets filled up one machine, then a second, and then a third. Twitter's new tweet store: When you tweet it's stored in an internal system called T-bird, which is built on top of Gizzard. MySQL isn't used for everything: Cassandra is used for high velocity writes, and lower velocity reads. Some other ideas:

Computer Hope's free computer help herobrine eXe : eLearning XHTML editor The eXe project developed a freely available Open Source authoring application to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content without the need to become proficient in HTML or XML markup. Resources authored in eXe can be exported in IMS Content Package, SCORM 1.2, or IMS Common Cartridge formats or as simple self-contained web pages. eXe grew out of the New Zealand Government Tertiary Education Commission's eCollaboration Fund and was led by the University of Auckland, The Auckland University of Technology, and Tairawhiti Polytechnic. It was later supported by CORE Education, a New Zealand-based not-for-profit educational research and development organisation. It has also been greatly assisted by a global group of participants and contributors. eXe was named a finalist in the New Zealand round of the IMS Global Learning Impact Awards 2008 and went on to claim a Leadership Award at the international judging.

Engineering ToolBox Colin’s application (and why we hired him to be our Apprentice) | Mark Boulton Design Back in February, we advertised for an Apprentice Web Designer. We weren’t looking for an intern, or someone looking for work experience. We wanted to hire someone we could teach, nurture and mould into a world-class talent. We asked interested applicants to hand write a letter describing why they’d like to spend two years of their life at Mark Boulton Design, learning what we do. We also wanted to keep it fun and find out what makes them tick, so we gave a more open brief of telling us a story, writing a haiku or drawing us a picture. We were inundated with post from all over the globe; from as far away as Australia, North America and Eastern Europe and plenty closer to home, from all over the UK. We’re also sharing the winning application from our new Apprentice, Colin. Colin, hand-delivered a large hand-made box. So, what can you learn from Colin’s approach?
mejorar el rendimiento de windows 7 hola amigos de taringa les cuento encontre esta info por ahi en la web me gusto esta muy bien explicado y me gustaria compartirla con ustedes ya q los que tenemos windows 7 queremos el maximo rendimiento bueno ahi se los dejo 1. Desactiva la opción de Indexación de archivos de Windows 7 Al igual que sucede con Spotlight en Macintosh, Windows 7 incluyó un sistema que permite indexar tus archivos en tu disco duro -algo así como hacer una lista de cada archivo que tienes en tu ordenador- con el fin de que cuando hagas una búsqueda, esta sea rápida, ya que no tendrá que buscar directamente en el disco, sino en el índice que posee. Lamentablemente, esta función aún no es tan poderosa como en Mac y ralentiza a tu Windows 7 ya que actualiza el índice cada vez que haces cambios sobre los archivos de tu equipo. Sal de esa ventana presionando “Aplicar” y luego “Aceptar”. 2. Para desactivar Aero haz lo siguiente: 3. Windows 7 no es muy inteligente cuando hablamos de fondos de pantalla. 4. 5. 6.
