My old tech scribbles - Charvin

0-Day - Latest software releases. 0-Sec - Same as above, although the period of time between ripping a game or application and it appearing on a warez site is even shorter. Ace File - The first file in a series of compressed archives (the one you double click on to decompress all the files at once). Active List - Similar to a mailing list, but uses ICQ to send instant messages to subscribers. Alpha - Software receives this label when it is in the very early stages of development. Usually full of bugs, so don't touch it with a barge pole. Anti-Leech - A system which uses cgi scripts to prevent people stealing links and then taking the credit for uploading the files. Appz - Short for applications. For example Flash 5 or GoLie 5.5. ASF File - The worst quality movie file format (still pretty good though), much smaller in size than dat or mpg. Banner Site - Password and username restricted FTP site. To get the correct login details you must click on several banners. Beta - Refers to an...

Ever feel like running an Android app on your Windows machine? Using BlueStacks, you can easily get apps from your Android device to your desktop or laptop without any complicated set up or fussing with the Android SDK. Android Apps on Windows          BlueStacks is essentially a self-contained virtual machine that runs Android apps on your Windows 7 computer. While it’s still in alpha, it’s surprisingly stable, pretty novel, and constantly improving. It has very little set up and runs quite nicely smoothly, albeit with a few limitations. The biggest appeal is that you don’t have to deal with the Android SDK – or even know what that is, really – and so it’s great for beginners. You can easily install apps available from BlueStacks’s list of free apps, and if you have an Android device, you can install many apps from your device via the Cloud Connect app. Why would anyone want to do this? Well, suppose you have an app that you re...

What exactly is Cloud computing? At its most basic level, cloud computing is a model for remote computer access. The idea is simple: You use your computer and an Internet connection to make contact with a remote server. This server, which is really just a computer, runs applications using its hardware. You're able to influence the application by executing commands through a Web browser or other user interface. But the remote server is doing all the heavy lifting. Why would you want to use a cloud computing system? One reason is that it lets you access applications your own computer might not be able to execute. Your computer only has to run a Web browser or simple user interface. In most cloud computing applications, this client-side program places minimal demands on your machine's resources. That means you can take advantage of a variety of programs and services without having to continually invest in the fastest computers. Since the cloud computing service is handling all...
