  1. Moreover, some people don't have internet at home, some writers simply need a way for typing text at home or inside public libraries. And, of course, from a personal point of view, a PC connected to nothing will have very few intrusion problems. :)And, of course, I must confess that we went rather far away from the topic starter subject, which is "LiveCD".


  2. but physical bad sectors are still fixable right? but most probably more expensive than buying a new drive

    No, physical bad sectors are not fixable. A real bad sector is a sector with a physical problem (dust or scratch during manufacturation). The low-level format is in charge of preventing the operating system from using these bad sectors. The initial bad sectors are flagged as "do not use this", and are harmless.
    New occurence of a scratch or a dust intering the disk subsystem will lead to a new useless sector, but the operating system does not know that no data should be written on it. So, an extra toos is need for that. Crosoft Windows allows you to perform a disk check and will flag these sectors as unusable, but if you already have data or binary files there, they are lost.

  3. No reason to have a better performance after reinstallation.If you have already all your staff installed and it workd fine, just keep it like that.Usually, after a fresh install a PC works very fine. And each time you add a new softare it sztarts being slower and slower (adding more things in the registry and starting more services and firing new TSR programs which use all your available memory. So, I guess that if you re-install, it will work faster, and then slow agani as soon as you will have finished installing all your staff.Or simply wait for your next virus-related crash and then having a good reason for performing a format and a fresh install ^_^


  4. Not right that. Read the document in my link. You will have to read the files inside the iso file (with any iso reader) and put them on the folder you will mention in the syslinux.cfg and on the menu.txtthis should work for any version, the settings says that the system should boot from inird.gz, pup_*something and vimlinuz, it's a rather classical situation for a linux system. Sorry it's fully manual, but it should not be very difficult for a linux guy.


  5. is that some kind remote desktop like VNC?

    Yes, it's an alternative to VNC. It's free for personal and friends-helping usage, and you have to pay the licence if it's for professional purposes.
    VNC is useful inside a private nerwork, Team Viewer works from your home PC to your friends home PC crossing the internet, without any configuration, the remote server does the job.

  6. I directly created my USB multi-boot drive, with puppy and some other ones. No need to boot from a liveCD disk.

     


    guide will create a multi-boot USB stick with options for BartPE, Linux (DSL, Puppy Linux & Gparted), Windows PE 2.0 and various floppy boot disk images (Windows98, Memtest86) - additional options can be added. You will need a 512MB USB stick if you want to include all of the options (excluding WindowsPE 2.0)


    You will need a lot of work editing the "menu.txt" and "syslinux.cfg" files and putting files at the correect place on the USB flashkey, but it works fine.



  7. I If this hDD regenerator is going to work only on the windows then it is disadvantage for me.

    Techno007 already answered this :

    make bootabe usb/dic and run the software through booting from USB/Dics

    Which is an obvious situation. You cannot correctly check the disk where you are booted from. So, you need to have the tool on a bootable CD or USB device. So, the real Operating system is not important, it's embedded on the bootable device, whether your hard disk is Windows or Linux.

  8. Ouch!First of all you have to make your thoughts strong about what you name cloud.What is a cloud, in your opinion?What is the purpose of your cloud? Of course, flying far above our heads, over the rainbow, in the sky.But, what else?What would be the purpose of your thing? Which services do you think you will be able to offer? Using which physical means and which environmental settings? Who will use these servies, and how will your customers access them?You could have a look at the way Xisto works. None of us really know where the things are and how they work, we simply order a service (a website, with it's database and php servers, and the disk storage are somewhere we don't care, we simply order more services if we want more, and the backups are made by some mysterious crontabs administrated by some invisible teams.Of course you will have to read some books concerning the definition of the various standard clouds (private, public, mixed clouds) and define what purpose is yours, before thinking how to really setup a cloud.


  9. would love to have something of that sort as that sounds to be pretty tempting,tabasco sauce is one of my favourites and also I am quite fond of Jalapeno peppers.

    Congrats, you are a real man!Of course this is not incompatible with being a real women.
    Simply depends from the criteria for being named a real man.

  10. The other problem is a funny feature. Device aging tests are usually made by overheating the devices. So, remember that the temperature inside the box is twice the room temperature.Then, using computers in a room where the temperature is about 44 degrees instead of 20 degrees will make an artificial aging test, and the cpu will last twice less than in standard conditions.That means that a standard system board and peripherals will last one or two years instead of two to tens years.This is not a problem if you knew this and nevertheless decided to buy this thing. If not, you will be surprised how fast your device stops working.


  11. what I feel digital camera need to work more on is the ISO, which helps the camera take out better picture in low light conditions. In low light conditions, the exposure is longer

    Still the same problem. If the lens size is small, very few light come on the sensor, so low ISO. With big lenses, a lot of lite comes on the sensor, so the ISO ratio is better, and you can use a faster speed for the same picture under low light conditions.

  12. OK, first of all, a good camera has a really wide lens (typically more than four centimeters).This gives you a nice image, when correctly focused.After that, you have to record this image on a permanent medium. If possible, the same resolution as the current chemical films.You must know that the current resolution on current resolution on current chemical films is about ten micrometers, which means 100 dots per millimeter.So, for a current 24*36 picture, this leads to about 86 millions pixels for a current low-cost silver-chemical-film camera.Of course, a profession camera should have far more than that, at least 20 times more (4 times higher and 5 times wider image for current professional cams).That's why the photography sensors must have constantly more and more pixels. You don't need all these pixels on your own camera, but you take benefit on your own camera from all these research efforts for professional cams. And remember that you can smoothen your pictures over a lot of pixels in order to have a 1meg picture stored on your memory card.And still remember that you need a wide lens on your camera. If your lens diameter is about two millimeters instead of four centimeters, you will have poor pictures, no matter how many pixels the sensor behind the lens exhibits.Exactly like in your house : if you have a nice big clean window, you will see a nice landscape. If you have a very small window, the landscape will be far less impressive.
