Mistake #1: After choosing an IT support provider, you no longer need to be involved in the management of them.

 

As with any department you manage, your IT support provider will need oversight as well as clear and consistent communication. When you stop being involved with your IT support provider, expectations are not clearly communicated and problems are more apt to arise. Additionally, without communication, your strategic, long-term plans may not be included in preparation for future technology spending.Communication is a two-way street. If you are not involved in setting expectations or communicating questions as they arise, communication and, ultimately, the business relationship suffers. Clear communication is even more important when you have multiple technology vendors including specialized software, email hosting, network administration etc.

 

Mistake #2: Assume that there will not be anymore challenges or issues with your computers once you hire an IT support provider.

 

Many companies have hired IT support providers only to be disappointed that there are still things that seem to pop up on a regular basis. However, just because you have outsourced your IT support to a company with a good reputation and track record does not mean you won't have any more challenges or issues ahead of you. It just isn't realistic.Computers are machines. User errors, hardware failure, software corruption and regular maintenance issues are the norm, not the exception, even for the best of networks and IT support providers. That is why large companies have whole IT departments. In fact you may even have more issues to address initially because someone is now actually paying attention to your needs and making you aware of them.

 

Mistake #3: Assume the IT support provider with the lowest price per hour is the best choice.

 

When choosing an IT support provider, you will have various options. As a small business, keeping costs down is important, so you may be tempted to settle for the lowest bidder. Just remember: You get what you pay for. If a company provides you a quote that is substantially lower than the others, ask why. Perhaps their employee(s) lack necessary certifications or training, they don't have a staff or tools in place to ensure your needs are taken care of in a timely manner and that things don't fall through the cracks. If this is the case, you may end up spending more in the short and long run by going with the lowest price per hour

 

Mistake #4: Assume technical skill or "geekiness" is all you need.

 

How many times have your eyes glazed over as someone explains why you are experiencing various technical problems with your network. IT support providers who lack the ability to communicate in a non-technical manner and that don't have a long term strategic view of your company's business goals will cost you time and money while frustrating you and your employees.

DNA computing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DNA computing is a form of computing which uses DNA and molecular biology, instead of the traditional silicon-based computer technologies. A single gram of DNA with volume of 1 cm? can hold as much information as a trillion compact discs, approximately 750 terabytes.

 

This field was initially developed by Leonard Adleman of the University of Southern California. In 1994, Adleman demonstrated a proof-of-concept use of DNA as form of computation which was used to solve the seven-point Hamiltonian path problem. Since the initial Adleman experiments, advances have been made, and various Turing machines have been proven to be constructable.

 

There are works over one dimensional lengths, bidimensional tiles, and even three dimensional DNA graphs processing.

 

On April 28, 2004, Ehud Shapiro and researchers at the Weizmann Institute announced in the journal Nature that they had constructed a DNA computer. This was coupled with an input and output module and is capable of diagnosing cancerous activity within a cell, and then releasing an anti-cancer drug upon diagnosis.

 

DNA computing is fundamentally similar to parallel computing -- we take advantage of the many different molecules of DNA to try many different possibilities at once.

 

For certain specialized problems, DNA computers are faster and smaller than any other computer built so far. But DNA computing does not provide any new capabilities from the standpoint of computational complexity theory, the study of which computational problems are difficult. For example, problems which grow exponentially with the size of the problem (EXPSPACE problems) on von Neumann machines still grow exponentially with the size of the problem on DNA machines. For very large EXPSPACE problems, the amount of DNA required is too large to be practical. (Quantum computing, on the other hand, does provide some interesting new capabilities).

 

Business and income opportunities arrive every day in most of our email boxes as junk mail. Most of us - rightly - delete them without a glance.

Most business opportunities on the Net are not worth your time or your money. BUT some should NOT be missed or dismissed! There ARE very special opportunities to make money on the Net, and you SHOULD know about them. Some might pay you a few hundred dollars once, others might add $40 or $50 to your monthly income, and some will pay you enough to retire in good style in a year or two - or sooner! ALL of the opportunities on this page will put you on the road to a better income.

I have sorted through the good and the bad opportunities. This page is the result. I've done the sifting for you and present the best of carefully selected income opportunities.

Want to make money? Diversify your approach. I suggest that you sign up to several - or even enroll is each one of the business opportunities on this page. Some of them are MLM or network marketing opportunities and some are simple referral programs.

Here are some suggestions for you to consider:

Join each referral program and get paid referral commissions for each referral you make - very simple and they can bring in good money, literally, thousands of dollars. Links on Web sites and in email suffice to do well.

Some network marketing opportunities can grow by themselves. Others need more work on your part. Join both types so you can focus on one or two that require some effort while enjoying the benefits of those that do not and will build downlines for you.

Getting active in several Network Marketing opportunities will develop multiple downlines for you, each of which can "cross-fertilize" the other. Contact the members of one downline with the opportunity in the other. The result can be faster and wider growth in each opportunity - and bigger incomes.

Good pay plans are necessary, but a solid foundation in Product is essential to long-term growth. Three excellent programs here have outstanding product offerings. You should consider each or all of them.

Take the Long View - at least a year or 2 - because it takes some time for downlines to develop and generate money. As they grow, your downlines and income should progressively accelerate.

Well mine is pretty similar to a few before me. I use my computer mostly for work and study but it's also my entertainment system. Here are basically what I do on my computer;

1. Writing articles and scientific papers
2. Designing web sites (you can check my professional web site: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/)
3. Checking my e-mails
4. Listening to music (winamp)
5. Doing my home works
6. Downloading programs which I need them
7. Emailing friends from far away
8. Programming for my subjects in college
9. Typing my needed documents
10. Doing research
11. Maintaining my website
12. Making stuff for other people
13. Going to different websites that I really don't need to do I guess
14. Going to message forums (for example posting in the Xisto forum)
15. Checking my Ebay, Paypal, E-gold and moneybookers accounts
16. Rarely playing PC or online games

And so on...

Spyware is software or hardware installed on a computer
without the user's knowledge which gathers information about
that user for later retrieval by whomever controls the
spyware.

Spyware can be broken down into two different categories,
surveillance spyware and advertising spyware.

Surveillance software includes key loggers, screen capture
devices, and trojans. These would be used by corporations,
private detectives, law enforcement, intelligence agencies,
suspicious spouses, etc.

Advertising spyware is software that is installed alongside
other software or via activex controls on the internet,
often without the user's knowledge, or without full
disclosure that it will be used for gathering personal
information and/or showing the user ads. Advertising
spyware logs information about the user, possibly including

passwords, email addresses, web browsing history, online
buying habits, the computer's hardware and software
configuration, the name, age, sex, etc of the user.

As with spam, advertising spyware uses the CPU, RAM, and
resources of the user's computer, making the user pay for
the costs associated with operating it. It then makes use of
the user's bandwidth to connect to the internet and upload
whatever personal information it has gathered, and to
download advertisements which it will present to the user,
either by way of pop up windows, or with the ad banners of
ad-supported software. All of this can be considered theft
in the cases of advertising spyware that installs without
disclosure.

And while anti-virus software like Symantec's Norton Anti-
Virus or McAfee's ViruScan can offer some protection, one of
the best ways to combat spyware is with anti-spy software.
Two of the best are Lavasoft's Ad-aware and Spybot's Search
& Destroy, which are available as free downloads.

The free version of Ad-aware does not proactively protect
against spyware infestation. You have to start the Ad-aware
application and initiate a scan to detect spyware. But the
paid version, Ad-aware Plus does remain alert in the
background, like Spybot, to deflect any attempts at
infestation. In recent tests, Ad-aware Plus and Spybot both
protected systems extremely well.

If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend
installing Microsoft's Service Pack 2. SP2 tightens your
PC's security with a new Windows Firewall, an improved
Automatic Updates feature, and a pop-up ad blocker for
Internet Explorer. Plus, the newly minted Security Center
gives you one easy-to-use interface for keeping tabs on your
PC's security apps.

There are also other steps you can take to protect against
spyware. One simple step is to switch from Microsoft's
browsers, which have security holes for spyware programs to
exploit. A good alternative is Mozilla Firefox. Another not-
so-simple step is switching to the Mac or Linux operating
systems, which don't have spyware problems.

There are a group of items that you may need to know when you go on the internet. They are: How to save a web article and also how to save a drawing or picture in that article. You cannot save them both to the same file name. How to print out your e-mail when "yahoo" will let you read the e-mail but will not let you print it. When you cannot download your e-mail from your ISP and the manager will not help you. I will now tell you how to correct them. First: I have a web site on "Agora" that I use for odds and ends. The manager does not have a phone number to call, will not reply to a letter, or will not reply to an e-mail. He wants you to correct any problems yourself. As it cost less then $10.00 a month and has over 50 meg of space I cannot beat the price. For the last 2 years when I go and try to get my e-mail from tedpet@agora.rdrop.com the computer will come up with "An error occured in POP3. call your ISP". I have sent 5 e-mails but he will not fix it. The way that I get around this is I will go to http://yahoo.com/ on the web and go to "get other pop" and then I can receive all my e-mails from Agora. If you want to know how to do this, read the article "E-Mail Away From Home" on this web. I then can use Agora for all my other web items. On "Yahoo.com" most of the people in Portland can read their e-mail BUT they cannot print the e-mail. Yahoo has had this trouble for some time. There is a quick way to print out your Yahoo e-mail. Go to "file" and save the e-mail to a floppy or your hard drive as a .txt file. Then print it out in notepad or some other program. You may have trouble if you save it as a .doc file and you will have trouble if you save it as .html file. but a .txt file works good. You may have seen a good article on the Web and wanted to print it out. You used a Word processing program (Word, Works, Text, Notepad, etc). (you would not use html as then you would get all the control codes). Then when to print out that article you want to know "What happen to the pictures and drawings?" When any one (including me) make up a html program you have to make more then one file. One file is made up with a picture (one file for each picture or drawing). Another file for all the printing and where you want to place a picture or drawing, you type in a code listing the picture name and .jpg or .gif. You also type in the size, both wide and tall. with a lot of codes. When some one calls up a web page, the web first will look for the printing part, and then look for all listing of pictures. At times they will put them together and show you what you want. If you want to save an article you have to save the printed part of the article in a word processing program. Then you will go to each picture or drawing and right click on your mouse. Go down to save image and then save the .jpg or .gif picture to another file. You have to do this with each picture. There is no easy way to put them together again . You can maybe retype the codes into an html copy of your printed article and then it will go together. Most of the people will keep them as 2 or more files.
