BandWidth Explained

Most hosting companies offer a variety of bandwidth options in their plans. So exactly what is bandwidth as it relates to web hosting? Put simply, bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the internet. The amount of bandwidth a hosting company can provide is determined by their network connections, both internal to their data center and external to the public internet. Network Connectivity The internet, in the most simplest of terms, is a group of millions of computers connected by networks. These connections within the internet can be large or small depending upon the cabling and equipment that is used at a particular internet location. It is the size of each network connection that determines how much bandwidth is available. For example, if you use a DSL connection to connect to the internet, you have 1.54 Mega bits (Mb) of bandwidth. Bandwidth therefore is measured in bits (a single 0 or 1). Bits are grouped in bytes whic

Digital Camera Guide

Digital Camera Guide So, it's time for a digital camera huh? Well, buying one can be more than a little difficult. What types of features should you look for? Well, this guide will tell you that plus get you a little more familiar with what these cameras are capable of. Megapixels When it comes to megapixels, the more the better. I recommend a minimum of 2, but 3 or 4 is great. We did a test to see if a camera with 2.3 megapixels (actually 1.92 - 1600 x 1200) could produce a good quality 8x10. Turns out it can, if you have the right paper and printer. We used HP Premium Plus photo paper with an HP 970 series printer and made a fantastic 8 x 10. Remember, I was a professional photographer before I got into computing, so I know a good print when I see it :-) The resolution at 8x10 (we had to crop in to make the picture proportional to 8x10) was only 150 DPI. Most printers would not make a real good 8x10 at that resolution, but this one did. So, if you want to be sure you can

BIOS Update

All latest Motherboards today, 486/ Pentium / Pentium Pro etc.,ensure that upgrades are easily obtained by incorporating the system BIOS in a FLASH Memory component. With FLASH BIOS, there is no need to replace an EPROM component. Once downloaded, the upgrade utility fits on a floppy disc allowing the user to save, verify and update the system BIOS. A hard drive or a network drive can also be used to run the newer upgrade utilities. However, memory managers can not be installed while upgrading. Most pre-Pentium motherboards do not have a Flash BIOS. The following instructions therefore do not apply to these boards. If your motherboard does not have a Flash BIOS (EEPROM) you will need to use an EPROM programmer to re-program the BIOS chip. See your dealer for more information about this. Please read the following instructions in full before starting a Flash BIOS upgrade: A. Create a Bootable Floppy (in DOS) •With a non-formatted disk, type the following: format a:/s •If using

Windows 7 review ( Hot or Not )

I was one of the early adopters of Vista & also one of the early Quitters of Vista. Vista was building much hype but in the end it was not able to sustain that hype & eventually became a disaster. After learning from mistakes in Vista Microsoft again releases another OS named Windows 7. Windows 7 is the new buzz around. So after falling for the same buzz I finally downloaded the Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7100) from Microsoft site (I don't trust Torrents for downloading such softwares). After 10 hours complete 2.36 GB of Windows 7 was in my hand. In hurry I burned the iso file to a DVD & started to install it. My system already had Windows XP SP3 fully updated installed. The first thing I noted about Windows 7 is the ease of installing. Just pop in the DVD select to upgrade or complete new install, select the drive in which you want to install, & Sit back. It was very fast & simple. No unnecessary clicks or bugging graphics. I was shocked to see the overa

Open DNS

DHave you encountered some sites not opening in your broadband although the connection works fine with other sites also sometimes your connection refuses to work even though signal is coming. Mostly MTNL Triband & BSNL faces this problem. This because of the fact that their DNS Servers are facing downtime. DNS is used to convert the URL entered by you into the machine understandable form. Once the site address is resolved the work DNS is over. But due to downtime DNS is not able to resolve the address due to which your browser is not able to open the website even when the Internet connection is working. To solve this issue there is a simple solution of using a third-party DNS server. The best third party DNS is OpenDNS it is free service anyone can use their DNS with any Internet connection. Its also free. To use OpenDNS you do not need to install any software all you need is just open your Internet Properties from My Network Places on desktop Then open Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

GOOGLE CHROME Review

Google Chrome, the search giant's first ever web browser, was released to great fanfare on Tuesday, amid talk that it could one day pass Internet Explorer as the world's most popular browser. The version released for free download is only at the beta - testing - stage, but users and critics have been quick to pass early judgment. The consensus? Google Chrome is attractive, fast and has some impressive new features, but may not - yet - be a threat to its Microsoft rival. Here is a selection of reviews from some of the most respected technology blogs and writers on the web. Click on the links to read the full reviews, or post your first impressions of Google Chrome in the box at the bottom of the story. All in all, Google Chrome, after just a little time using it, is superb. It’s not only fast, but it’s useful. It’s not only elegant, but it understands what you really want to do with a browser. And although it suffers from some setbacks that shouldn’t be overlooked, it’s sti

INTERNET EXPLORER 8 ( iE8) Review

I've been playing with IE8 beta 1, and I've got some thoughts ... In terms of user visible HTML rendering features, I think IE 8 beta 1 is possibly the biggest release of IE in nearly 11 years since April 1997 when IE 4.0 alpha 1 was released. The history shows mostly bug fixes, and chrome changes since then. Maybe transparent PNG or Bidi text are bigger than Activities? It looks like that's going to be the feature that most people talk about, so I'm going to talk about some of the other stuff. There are 3 big things I'm interested in, and a few smaller features: 6 Connection Limit I've been testing the new 6 connection limit. It works perfectly in my testing, Without any cookie or window.name hacks, DWR can do reverse ajax using comet to more than 2 browser windows: DOM Storage IE is way behind everyone else in implementing HTML5 features. So this is catching up to everyone else. It will be interesting to hear from the Dojo guys on this. // sessionSt
