Increase your RAM and so system speed

1). Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents.

2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.

 

3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar).

 

4). Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.

 

5). Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM.

                In any multitasking system, minimizing an application means that it won't be utilized by the user right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.

Top Tips to increase bittorent download Speed

The latest file sharing protocol bittorrent has modified everything when it comes to file sharing. It is a nice platform for downloading large files. Sharing of files include movies, iso images and MP3 songs. Bittorent is mainly famous for illegal file sharing .
The Bittorrent system can be slow at times due to heavy traffic. so let us tweak bittorrent sharing program a little bit.
There are a lot of different bittorrent clients that you can download. I think the best are BitCommet and uTorrent.

Here is a few tips to speed up uTorrent Client. Similar can be implemented on any other torrent clients ,which you are using.

Step 1: Increase TCP connections

You need to increase the number of TCP connections that are allowed at max.Windows XP Service Pack 2 came with the number of allowed open connections to 10. This is to stop any piece of spyware(in our case bittorent client even) from totally taking over your internet connection. TCP connection allowed should be 50 for optimal performance. The best way to increase the maximum number of connections is to apply patch that is available at www.lvllord.de. A nice way to fix this is to download this patch .

The little tweak to the torrent client works great in certain times. If you’re using uTorrent go to Options menu then Preferences. In the Preferences go the Advanced Options. In the advanced options change the net.max_halfopen connections to 80. In the same section change the max half open tcp connections to 80. Once your done click on OK and you are all set. This tweak will let the maximum TCP connection available for the bittorrent client. Now start downloading you’ll realize a little difference in the download speed. Port forwarding technique is more effective than this.

                               A third point of interest is that some “windows updates” revert your tweaked tcp connections back to 10. So it’s wise to check this every now and then. You can check this by going to (in windows xp) Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System… Look for event 4226 (sort by event).
If there are a lot of daily occurrences it’s likely that the max amount of half-open tcp connections was set back to 10. Or you’re infected with some nasty spy ware…

Step 2:Torrent Client Configuration
In order to apply these tips you must know your maximum up- and download speed. You can test your bandwidth over here (stop all download activity while testing).

Settings 1-4 can be found in the options, settings or preference tab of most torrent clients.

1. Maximum upload speed 

Probably the most important setting there is. Your connection is (sort of) like a pipeline, if you use you maximum upload speed there’s not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.

Use the following formula to determine your optimal upload speed…

80% of your maximum upload speed

so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal upload rate is 32kB/s But keep seeding!

Top Ten Tips To Improve System Speed

1. Let your PC boot up completely before opening any applications.

2. Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove any unused files from the RAM.

3. Do not set very large file size images as your wallpaper. Do not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB).

 

4. Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM

5. Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin.

6. Delete the temporary internet files regularly.

7. Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your applications run faster.

8. Always make two partitions in your hard drive. Install all large Softwares (like PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max etc) in the second partition. Windows uses all the available empty space in C drive as virtual memory when your Computer RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as possible.

9. When installing new Softwares disable the option of having a tray icon. The tray icons use up available RAM, and also slow down the booting of your PC. Also disable the option of starting the application automatically when the PC boots. You can disable these options later on also from the Tools or preferences menu in your application.

10. Protect your PC from dust. Dust causes the CPU cooling fan to jam and slow down thereby gradually heating your CPU and affecting the processing speed. Use compressed air to blow out any dust from the CPU. Never use vacuum.

RAM IS THE WORKING AREA (DESKTOP) OF THE CPU, KEEP IT AS EMPTY AND UNCLUTTERED AS POSSIBLE!

Selecting Your First Programming Language

The article is all about Various Programming Languages. If you are stuck wondering where to start in your programming adventure this is the article for you.


                          
 Let’s Start …


Deciding what your needs are


Many times on forums and in chat rooms I hear the same question over and over. “What programming language should I learn?” but the answer is different for every person. However there are some common questions you can ask yourself to figure out a good starting point.


What do I want to accomplish ?


First you should start to think about what you want to create when coding. Do you want to make cool websites, and web applications, or maybe a quick windows application to calculate the amount of paint needed for a room? What about creating video, flash, and 3D graphics. There are languages designed to do all this and more! You just need to figure out what your needs and wants are. Do some research on popular languages and find out what types of programs other people have written with them.


Keep in mind


When you first start coding it is more important to learn how to program then it is to learn the library’s or modules of the language. Focus on the basics and make sure you understand them before moving on.


Should I worry about compatibility & portability ?


The short answer is: no that is not likely at this stage. Since you are just starting out you will most likely just pick a language that will run on your current operating system.
However in the future you may need or want your application to work on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac.


Is the language well documented ?


Are you going to be able to find a lot of information about your language? What types of books, internet tutorials, and official documentation are there available for your language? It is always nice to have a good community around the language as well. Most on-line communities are based on forums, IRC, and mailing lists. Remember that Google is your friend. Just look up your language on Google to find tutorials, and on-line community’s, check out Borders or Amazon dot com for books.


What level of architecture do I want to code in ?


Computer do not understand the source code we write. They only understand machine code. Machine code can be thought of as binary, just two states 0 or 1 or switches that are either on or off. We could say there are about 4 different levels of programming languages. Low, middle, high, and very high level. When a language is said to be a low level language it means that the source code is more closely related to the machine code. This means the source is a bit more cryptic an complex, but you have very fine control and a lot of power over your program. If a language is high level it means it is closer to human readable language and it is much easier to get common (and some uncommon) things done. Though some of the finer details are hidden from the programmer. The benefits of a lower level language is speed and power. The problem is you wouldn’t want to write an entire game in a low level language because it would be large, complex, and hard to understand.


Compiled or interpreted ?


When a program is said to be “compiled” it means that the source code is passed threw a special program called a compiler before it can be ran. The compiler turns the human readable source code directly into machine language also known as a “binary file” or “.exe”.


When a program is said to be “interpreted” it means the source code is passed to a special program appropriately called an interpreter during run time. This means you just have to save a script with an appropriate file extension and run it. The source code is compiled dynamically on the fly during run-time. So compile time is run time. The pro is you can create programs very quickly and save a lot of time. The con is you lose some speed and power in your programs. Compiled programs are naturally faster the interpreted ones. Don’t let that put you off though, many interpreted languages are more then powerful enough for your everyday needs.


Some languages are / or can be “byte compiled”. This means that when the source is compiled it is not turned directly into machine language. Instead it is turned into an “intermediate language” called byte code. Byte code is on a lower level then the source but is not ready to be ran by the computer. Byte code is then ran on some form of virtual machine were the byte code is compiled, garbage collected, and more. Some popular virtual machines are: the java virtual machine, .NET platform (pronounced “Dot Net”), and mono platform.


Side notes


Do not stress to much over what language to pick. Pick a language that will help you learn to program, and accomplish your tasks. Don’t worry about what’s cool or the newest thing go with what works for you. Odds are you are going to be learning new languages later on anyways. So as long as you have the basic programming concepts, and techniques down you will be able to learn a new language more easily. The most important part is to have fun! Enjoy what you are doing or why do it at all?


Language Reviews


I am going to give a short list of programming languages that I think beginners will find useful and will learn the most from.


Notice :  This is not a full list of languages !


This is just a few languages that allow different areas of software to be explored, in different ways. For a larger list of languages check out wikipedia’s alphabetical list of programming languages.


= Web Sites =


Basic static text websites can be created with a combo of these two languages and some graphics.
XHTML
Type: Markup Language
Geared for: Websites
Difficulty: Very Easy
Compatibility: Works with modern browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Explorer)
documentation: No lack of documentation. I find that the w3school tutorials cover just about everything, so it is unlikely you will need a book.
Links: http://www.w3schools.com/
Notes: All you need is a good text editor. However there are also more complex programs like Dreamweaver to help simplify the creation of XHTML pages.


CSS
Type: Style Sheets
Geared for: Websites
Difficulty: Easy
Compatibility: Works with modern browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Explorer)
documentation: Lots of great on-line tutorials. You might find buying a book helpful as it will explain more about design.
Links: http://www.w3schools.com/
Notes: All you need is a good text editor. However there are also more complex programs like Dreamweaver to help simplify the creation of CSS files.


= Web Applications =


Web applications add interactivity to a website such as pop up boxes, log-in forms, shout boxes, games, and more.


Javascript
Type: Interpreted / scripting
Geared for: Web Applications
Difficulty: Easy – Mild
Compatibility: Works with modern browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Explorer)
documentation: Great on-line tutorials, but you may find a book helpful.
Links: http://www.w3schools.com/
Notes: This gives web designers a scripting language to embed in there web pages. Can create pop up boxes, validate XHTML forms, and more. Code is executed by the browser.


PHP
Type: Interpreted / scripting
Geared for: Web Applications
Difficulty: Mild
Compatibility: Code is ran on server
documentation: Good on-line tutorials, may want a book for more complete learning process.
Links: http://www.w3schools.com/
Notes: Because code is executed on the server the user can not view the source code, this adds a level of protection and security for things like login forms and online transactions.


= Databases =


Databases allow you to store tons of information in a logical way. In software development you can use them to keep track of websites members, scores in a game, employes on a pay roll, and more.


SQL
Type: Structured Query Language
Level: Very High
Geared for: Databases
Difficulty: Mild – Hard
Compatibility: Used with many major database management systems (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Access, Oracle, SQLite, and more )
documentation: Great documentation, many books, and on-line tutorials.
Links: http://www.w3schools.com/
Notes: SQL is a standard language for accessing databases. There are many different versions of the SQL language. However, to be compliant, they all support at least the major commands (such as SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, WHERE) in a similar manner.


= Desktop Applications =


VB.net
Type: Byte Compiled
Level: High
Geared for: .NET or Mono platforms
Difficulty: Mild
Compatibility: .NET on Windows, or Mono on Windows, Linux, & Mac
documentation: .NET is well supported by Microsoft and there are many books available. Mono conforms to most of .NET standards.
Links: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/default.aspx


http://www.mono-project.com/VisualBasic.NET_support


Notes: VisualBasic.NET is a different language in the sense of syntax and code blocks. Reserved words such as Dim … As, or Begin … End are used instead of symbols like in C style languages. For this is the reason this language ended up on the list.


C#
Type: Byte Compiled
Level: High
Geared for: .NET or Mono platforms
Difficulty: Mild
Compatibility: .NET on Windows, or Mono on Windows, Linux, & Mac
documentation: No lack of documentation to speak of.
Links: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336809.aspx


http://www.microsoft.com/express/vcsharp/


http://mono-project.com/Main_Page


Notes: Great new language developed by Microsoft. Often compared with Java, though it is my opinion that C# is superior for windows development. Also works well with the Mono platform for linux.


C / C++
Type: Compiled
Level: Middle
Geared for: Desktop applications.
Difficulty: Hard
Compatibility: There are compilers for all platforms.
documentation: Tons!! Books, on-line, people, just tons!
Links: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

Difficulty: Easy
Compatibility: Cross platform
documentation: Very well documented
Links: http://www.python.org


http://www.jython.org/


http://ironpython.net/


Notes: Fantastic language for beginners! The Python interpreter is written in C. The byte code is specific to the python platform. Jython compiles to Java byte code and runs on the Java Virtual Machine. IronPython compiles to CIL (common intermediate language) for .NET or Mono platforms.


= 3D Graphics or flash games =


Processing
Type: Byte Compiled
Level: Very High
Geared for: 3D images, animation, and interactions.
Difficulty: Mild
Compatibility: Java platform
