10 reasons not to use Linux

10 reasons not to use Linux

In another article try to convince you to use Linux. However, as with Windows and Mac OS X, there are reasons why the operating system of the penguin is a bad choice for our computer, but just take a look at the Softonic forums and to your comments as Linux users or detractors.

Here we review 10 reasons why you should leave Linux gurus and stay with your loved current operating system.

1. Because the operating system I use now satisfies me

That is fine for free software, but for the use we give to our PC (check my mail, chat, surf the web, write documents, listen to songs and movies) are just as valid tools on both Linux and Windows or Mac So why change?

2. Because I do not need know how to ride a car to drive it piece by piece

If you can build, program and read the source code of Linux you made a beast. But not everyone wants that, nor have time for it. To turn on the computer, do a couple of clicks and have at our disposal the three or four programs we use, and we’re happy.

3. Not to be a freak

That may sound exotic to use Linux, but be realistic. Hardly anyone in our circle of friends knows what it is, and will look weird if you start talking about Gnome, Gimp and Synaptic. So do not be the freak of the group and make for the majority, have some reason.

4. Too much, but what about quality?

There are hundreds of applications for Linux, but we just need one that works, not a thousand and one half to complete their tasks.

5. The terminal is the antichrist and want to destroy us

Linux has evolved significantly, and in most cases everything is done via windows and mouse clicks. But the terminal is still there, waiting to use it and laugh at you with such messages as "incorrect command, do not know what you’re talking about, installing more packages that still have room on the disk, a goat to root me." Do not do away with your patience and your friends’ computer.

6. Because it running smoothly is an odyssey

There are lucky people who installed Ubuntu on his laptop to the first, and it works webcam and Wi-Fi. Urban legends aside, Linux is often impossible to make everything work perfectly, either because it does not recognize a peripheral or tells you it’s incompatible or simply because we have been old for futuristic visuals of the latest distro of the day . And they say Windows Vista.

7. Because if it breaks you no one will help

The Linux user community is very large, and has made all sorts of manuals and tutorials. Even there are distributions with support. But at the moment of truth, there is never anyone when needed, and if you deign to answer any and after let ridiculed for your lack of knowledge about Linux you are sent to read a manual where there is no catch.

8. Because in my work all the world uses Windows

The thing is even more traumatic when you use or specialized applications designed specifically for your daily tasks. So if you use Windows at work, why not do it at home?

9. For an apple rather than a penguin cool

Apple has sold its products and make love like anyone else in the family. Many pray every night for Steve Jobs to bring them a new Mac for Christmas. By contrast, Linux lacks the glamor.

10. For taking the opposite

So fashion is getting the free software that will eventually prevail. So if you want to contradict you all use Linux, stay with Windows.

30 Nov

Finally include autonomy, Asus G51J-3D is not a notebook battery efficient if much respect is due to clear mobile Core i7 processor, the video card GTX260M, two 7200RPM hard drives. This notebook was almost meant to be all the time connected to power.

With this finish writing my experience with G51J-3D, as I mentioned in the beginning it was bringing this little monster from side to side. Every time I got this notebook at the University, at home and even friends in the house when they came visiting was always a mandatory topic of conversation, having a mobile system for 3D movies is something you do not see every day and always There were positive comments about him.

Conclusions

After a long session of the G51J-3D tests proved to be a notebook with a formidable performance. Thanks to the NVIDIA GTX260M could enjoy various games without problems, using the 3D glasses experience in video games is also something unique in addition to HD movies in 3D and carry all this entertainment system anywhere in just a framework 15.6 “is unprecedented. The power play any multimedia was not a problem as well as perform well in multitasking, multiple applications simultaneously without filing lags or low performance.

As if that were little Asus includes several features and benefits with your notebook, from backpack, mouse, 3D kit, software, great support and warranty coverage. The G51J-3D offers more advantages than disadvantages, points to criticize would be the battery life is really poor and temperature. For a price of about $ 1500USD G51J-3D justifies its price.

After all we have seen in this review will find that the Asus G51J-3D is not a notebook for use in everyday tasks such as taking notes, check emails, etc and the battery is too limited to be used “on the go” mostly lacks autonomy. This notebook is simply a great portable game system and entertainment giant with a machine smaller than 17 “and 18.4″. If what you are looking for a machine to compose email, surf the web and watching movies are looking in the wrong place. If you’re a gamer looking for entertainment and new experiences are in the right place, this notebook has it all.

Upload files online with Gazup

29 Nov

If you have a large amount of media, including such bulky video presentations that you need to share with others for personal or work issues, there are many solutions available for you if you do not copy the uncomfortable and dissemination of a myriad of CDs containing these files. The only alternative is a bit ‘more comfortable is offered directly from the Internet with free file hosting services (such as the well-known RapidShare) that unfortunately do not allow those who have a paid account to download more than one file at a time.

Take, for example, a teleworker who produces poor video services of several hundreds of megabytes to several newspapers online. Download the video course will first have to split it into 3 or 4 parts, since all these free services are limited to the maximum size that will have a file, then it will give 3 or 4 on the download link to the employer …

Let us set in the shoes of the employer to download the material received will have to wait patiently for the completion of a download at a time other than time limits imposed by the various file hosting services before proceeding to the next download operation … definitely nerve-wracking as it may be many more like, well it is from this principle that inspired the service we are going to examine today, Gazup.

Gazup looks like a normal file hosting service, also free, but differs in a fundamental characteristic of the others like to allow us through one simple web interface to upload your files simultaneously on different hosts as many as 9! At the end of the upload that will target RapidShare, Megaupload, Netload, zshare, filefactory, HideMyAss, Badongo, MediaFire and UploadBox, there will be returned for each file 9 different download links.

So easy to draw a conclusion, in the example considered above the teleworker will give the employer for 3 or 4 links each from a different file hosting service being proposed. In this way the employer can put in at one time download the various parts of the video and avoiding unnecessary long waits.

Gazup also allows you to record all users their own personal account where he will remain an “Upload History” that will track all files uploaded and the various links for downloading each of these files.

If you want to prove yourself the power you can go to the Home Page: Gazup.

Whiteboard for the children and not so young

28 Nov

Whiteboard for the children and not so young

A few days ago was home and came a couple of friends with his daughter. A little girl with a passion for the PC. He began to draw with Paint and made a small masterpiece. Abstract art, all right, but art after all. I am sure that it would have happened Whiteboard even better.

Well, WhiteBoard is a whiteboard mirrors the typical once we have all seen the writing with markers and then erase with hand rag.

Allows for children to develop their creativity by drawings and doodles, And that adults can use it to make sketches presentations or meetings to collect ideas.
Drawing

To draw simply click on the color marker you want to use and then hold the mouse button while moving the board. Very simple, as the operation of a pencil sharpener.

To delete, click on the eraser "Eraser" and drag what you want to delete by holding down the left mouse button.

If you want to delete the entire board, click on the question and then "Clean."

Write

Although not displayed on any site, WhiteBoard can be entered using the keyboard. To write beam right-click with your mouse and type what you want, the letters will appear but no cursor. A curious detail is that it is a "brand" to erase the letters.

The contents of the blackboard not saved in any files, but remains on the board until it is deleted. That is, if you close the program with something drawn, find the picture to open it again. If you want to save to a file will have to resort to the trick of capturing the screen and paste it into an imaging program.
Children

WhiteBoard, thinking about use by children, it is interesting to give free rein to their creativity.

Sure to be entertained while they learn and gain ease handling the mouse.

Presentations

Well, as you try sure to see the applications that have WhiteBoard at a meeting in the projector are available and need to make sketches or collect ideas.

Conclusions

WhiteBoard is no perfect program. It lacks a little something like the ability to undo (the typical lifetime UNDO), but it is a very interesting and different than usual. It’s free and easy to use.

Asus G51J3D Vision Notebook use experience Part A

28 Nov

The G51J-3D Vision is the latest notebook from the company of his acclaimed Asus Republic of Gamers subdivision (Republic of Gamers) 15.6″ LED HD 120Hz for games, this notebook brings one of the latest mobile processors this being a Core i7 Q720M, a 260M GTX video card and its main feature is the ability to 3D gaming and HD movies in 3D.

We arrived at the weakest point of the entire system, with only 6 cells laptop battery, the Asus G51J-3D is not efficient if a notebook battery is concerned, much is due to mobile processor, Core i7, the GTX260M video card, two hard drives 7200RPM. The G51J-3D only lasted 1 hour 35 min off on before, to test battery performance put the profile mode of entertainment from Asus, the brightness of the screen was 80% with wireless peripherals activated.

My experience with 3D Vision G51J was very nice, the design of the Netbook is something to admire, no matter the place where I always leave carry a face of awe in everyone who saw it, its exterior design is very attractive and awesome.

The touchpad has a nice texture to the touch and has great size, not to mention the left and right buttons with an excellent response, unfortunately there are no multi-touch features and gesture recognition as the Asus Eee PC keyboard was convenient to handle being this full-size separate numeric pad, pressing any key feel good and are quiet, remember that the keyboard is backlit making it easier to use in the dark.

Carrying G51J-3D was not as difficult despite having a weight of 3.26Kg is well distributed. The thickness and measures are acceptable given its great power and performance. Heat is one of the main problems of this Notebook, but much is due to the above. The area is responsible for resting your hand / wrist gets to warm up a bit and the bottom as the left side to get warmed up considerably even when performing everyday tasks like Word, Exel, Powerpoint and web browsing . Do not recommend using this notebook over his legs, in a few minutes you can get hurt.

The display has a definition of 1366×768 pixels, or Asus might have included a higher definition screen but remember to play 3D games requires great graphic power, in this case G51J-3D has a GTX260 card which would be the minimum GTX200 series recommended to run 3D and as we saw in the tests under a virtual 3D gaming performance by 50% on average, a higher definition screen would be a problem for this card.

That was a bit annoying was that for the 3D mode either in movies or video games would be required to screen brightness to maximum brightness by lowering the noticeable jumps or synchronization problems, it is as if the soda was less than 120Hz. When you view the screen from different angles was noted some distortion in the colors, though the screen is LED technology, the panel is TN and IPS do not like Windows MAC.

Undoubtedly this Notebook can be considered as a replacement for a desktop machine just in a frame of 15.6 “. The great strength of this notebook is its performance in games where it really stands out, remember that you need to be connected to current to take advantage of the turbo mode of the processor and thus take advantage of 100% of this little monster. To make matters worse the ability to watch HD movies and 3D games makes this Notebook a comprehensive entertainment system.

Learn to share files between your PC

26 Nov

Learn to share files between your PC

Sharing files is one of the most practical to have mounted a local network at home. However, some people continue to resort to bizarre methods (sent through Messenger, set up a FTP server, use a USB key, etc.) Are needed.

Then we will explain how to do properly with Windows tools at our disposal.

Step 1. Routine checks

Of course the first thing is to have a network. Most often this is as simple as plugging both computers to the router / switch by any means (cable, WIFI). We will not go into details because it is not our goal for this text.

One thing is strongly recommended that computers among which we look to share files. Of course, is a way of speaking: no need to put a PC first;) is often said that a computer is another when it appears in the first network sites.

To do both computers must be connected, have the same netmask and preferably be in the same workgroup. You can check which group you’re working from the Control Panel> System> Computer Name> Change.

Is everything OK? Well, if there are no do not worry. You can also access another computer if you know his name or local ip by typing the following into the file browser:

\ \ Nombre_del_equipo \ \ ip.del.equipo

Step 2. Simple Thanks

Windows can make you easy or difficult. You choose. Unless you’re a security guru or a corporate network you are configuring complex, most likely with the simple way you serve. To verify you have it enabled by default, and so, you open a file explorer, Tools> Folder Options> View and check if it is not already, the last option "Use simple file sharing (recommended ). "

If not checked this option would complicate things with permissions, user accounts, domains, and others. Not recommended.

Step 3. Sharing folders

At this step is almost all done. Now it remains the easiest, go to the folder in question we want to share, right click and click

This will open the folder properties on the appropriate tab. Here you just have to tell Windows to "know what it means to share a folder and then give a name to share, if you do not already brings served. You can also choose whether they can modify or read only file sharing.

When you click OK, you’re done.

Step 4. Connect from another PC

At this step, as are the shared files. As we have seen in Step 1, there are several ways to connect to another computer on the network. From either network resources or by typing the path or IP, the result is the same. If you also know how to call the share, now we can connect directly to it:

\ \ Nombre_del_equipo \ nombre_del_recurso \ \ ip.del.equipo \ nombre_del_recurso

If you use network drives very often, you can avoid this step automatically switch to a folder on another computer by assigning a unit like a bonus disc.

Doing so is as easy as going to the File Explorer, Tools menu> Connect to a network drive. In the window choose the name of the drive you want to be specific and address of the share on another box (you can also browse web sites with the button).

There has been so difficult, right?

How to free space on hard drive scanner B

How to free space on hard drive scanner B

3 – Basic Usage

Scanner buttons perform the following functions:

4 – Example of use

Clicking on any area of the circular map enter a detailed part of the analysis. So choose a circle that looks really big (as close as possible to be a full circle) and click on it.

In our case, we clicked on my user folder and get a new map specifically:

Moving the cursor over the folders we have entered into "My Documents", which is always going to stop everything. It is also interesting to go through "Program Files" to detect gaming facilities or programs that take up a lot and no longer use.

Under "My Documents" there is clearly huge file, the green. This is a VMware virtual image of Windows XP no longer use, I have duplicated in another folder, and that is occupying no less than 2,754 megabytes (just over 2.5 gigabytes) so go for it.

Right-click on the area in question and allows us to hide the folder (not useful), retested, since Scanner enlarge (Zoom), open the folder, "Recycle", ie, send it to the trash, and "Remove" amounts to a mistranslation he meant: "to eliminate the root folder without even passing the trash".

If we are sure, choose "Remove", if we are not so much "recycled".

How to recover Windows password

22 Nov

What can you do if you forget your Windows password and you have not created a password recovery disk?

There are several ways to reset the password for Windows (NT 2000, XP, Vista), but my favorite is the fastest, fast and simple to use Offline NT Password & Registry Editor.

How do you use?

When you extract the contents of’re going to burn the iso file that contains a CD (we can use ImgBurn is completely free and compatible with both XP and Vista).

Without this we are going to boot from the CD just prepared having the foresight to see that the first units set to boot from BIOS is, in fact, the optical drive.

The steps, as reported by site (in English as well as the software in question) are:

1. Start the machine from CD

2. In the floppy version is no need to change the floppy to load drivers

3. Load drivers (usually the process is automatic, but you can do it manually)

4. Select the disk that contains the Windows operating system.

5. Select the “PATH” or the system path (usually the “Windows” folder)

6. Select the files and parts of the register to be loaded based on what you want to do (not in our case)

7. Select the password reset or publisher registration

8. Change your password

9. Write the changes to disk

… And you’re done!

WARNING!

Password recovery does not work correctly if the Windows XP or Vista if you choose to encrypt your user folder.

If, in fact, has been enabled EFS (Encrypted File System) the user folder and all data contained therein will be encrypted at the filesystem level and the only way to recover is not to make the password reset and try to remember it.

Another important note: you can get an error when you save such as “Read-only file system”.

This occurs if the Windows session is not properly closed (forced shutdown, power outage accident etc.).

In order to recover the password, in this case, you must first start the computer in safe mode and turn it off from the login screen.

You may need to repeat twice.

Final notes:

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor is a mini-Linux distribution distributed under the GNU GPL v2.

How to free space on hard drive scanner A

How to free space on hard drive scanner A

Again the hard drive full! Now what do I delete?

For many hard drives you buy, I always feel the same, sooner or later get the message that the hard drive is full. How is it possible? But if nothing had zillions of free gigs! Now what do I do?

Surely if you are a friend of P2P programs and do not get along so well with the "Delete", you are in a similar situation.

The traditional solution passes uninstall applications or games that do not use and delete anything that does not want, but the problem is to delete or not delete things but rather to find what you delete.

You can go one on one, with small file size, or attack those who eat more space. Today we’ll show you how to find the second, which is usually the fastest and most effective release a larger amount of space in less time.

Before starting, it is advisable to spend a file cleaner "unnecessary" as CCleaner. If you have never used such programs sure to get plenty of space free.

Well, once past CCleaner, we get down to work with is my favorite program for finding files to delete: Scanner.

1 – First step: Analyze

After downloading, unzip and run Scanner.exe (no installation required), the window of the program to automatically begin to analyze all your disk drives.

If you only want to scan a disk, I recommend that you click on the name, for example C:, and Scanner will deal only with that record and finish much faster analysis.

2 – Interpreting the results

Scanner displays the results in a series of concentric circles. Each of them corresponds to a folder and how much bigger the circle, the more space does that folder.

In the middle are the folders that contain the rest, and as we move outward, the files are located. Perhaps it sounds complicated but really is not. It’s all very visual and interactive.

For the cursor on any circle to know what folder it is.
