Over the past 60 years, software has evolved from a specialized problem solving and information analysis tool to an industry in itself. But early programming culture and history have created a set of problem that persist even today. Software has become the limiting factor in the continuing evolution of computer based systems. Software is composed of programs, data, and documents. Each of these items comprises a configuration that is created as part of the software engineering process. The intension of software engineering is to provide a framework for building software with higher quality.

How long will it take for a 95KB file to download over a 6Mbps connection?

9000/6 = 1500 seconds, or about 25 minutes (it would be more like half an hour, given the way speeds jump around).

I agree with Nij, but I believe most networks are listed as mega bits per second (Mbps), not megabytes (MBps). If this is true in your case, multiply the 1500 by 8, to get 3 hours and 20 minutes. This is assuming you download at maximum speed of 6Mbps, which I doubt. I'd expect a minimum of this time, and wouldn't be suprised if it takes much longer.

How can you figure out the administrator's account password?

Can't Log On to Windows XP?

If that's your only problem, then you probably have nothing to worry about. As long as you have your Windows XP CD, you can get back into your system using a simple but effective method made possible by a little known access hole in Windows XP.

This method is easy enough for newbies to follow it doesnt require using the Recovery Console or any complicated commands. And its free - I mention that because you can pay two hundred dollars for an emergency download of Winternals ERD with Locksmith which is a utility for unlocking lost Windows passwords.

ERD is an excellent multi purpose product, but you should know it is not a necessary one if you have a healthy system and your sole problem is the inability to logon to Windows due to a forgotten password. Not necessary because you can easily change or wipe out your Administrator password for free during a Windows XP Repair. Heres how with a step-by-step description of the initial Repair process included for newbies.

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM and start your computer (its assumed here that your XP CD is bootable as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)

2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your CD Typically, it will be Press any key to boot from CD

3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.

4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now

5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.

6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.

It should read something like If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it

Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.

7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.

8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically you will see a progress bar stating Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds

9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of pressing any key to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.

10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you've made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).

13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

I tested the above on Windows XP Pro with and without SP1 and also used this method in a real situation where someone could not remember their password and it worked like a charm to fix the problem. This security hole allows access to more than just user accounts. You can also access the Registry and Policy Editor, for example. And its gui access with mouse control. Of course, a Product Key will be needed to continue with the Repair after making the changes, but for anyone intent on gaining access to your system, this would be no problem.

And in case you are wondering, NO, you cannot cancel install after making the changes and expect to logon with your new password.

Cancelling will just result in Setup resuming at bootup and your changes will be lost.

Ok, now that your logon problem is fixed, you should make a point to prevent it from ever happening again by creating a Password Reset Disk. This is a floppy disk you can use in the event you ever forget your log on password. It allows you to set a new password.

Here's how to create one if your computer is NOT on a domain:

* Go to the Control Panel and open up User Accounts.

* Choose your account (under Pick An Account to Change) and under Related Tasks, click "Prevent a forgotten password".

* This will initiate a wizard.

* Click Next and then insert a blank formatted floppy disk into your A: drive.

* Click Next and enter your logon password in the password box.

* Click Next to begin the creation of your Password disk.

* Once completed, label and save the disk to a safe place

How to Log on to your PC Using Your Password Reset Disk

Start your computer and at the logon screen, click your user name and leave the password box blank or just type in anything. This will bring up a Logon Failure box and you will then see the option to use your Password Reset disk to create a new password. Click it which will initiate the Password Reset wizard. Insert your password reset disk into your floppy drive and follow the wizard which will let you choose a new password to use for your account.

Note: If your computer is part of a domain, the procedure for creating a password disk is different.

How do you get ringtones for sidekick slide?

The first place to look for ringtones is your own wireless carrier, contact them

Many of the ringtone sites are based outside the U.S, most of them will NOT work with your phone and/or wireless provider.

Ringtones are protected by copyrights. the artist is due a royalty for use of their work. If you download ringtones, check that the web site is paying copyright fees to the copyright owners, it will clearly say on the home page that they have secured all the necessary rights to distribute the music in the form of a ringtone. Ringtone sites that pirate music don't pay copyright fees and still charge a fee to their users and are now targeted for music industry lawsuits.

Truly free ringtones are in public domain, and free of copyrights.

Be aware of deceptive ads offering ringtones for free - the ads in question offers one free ring tone to cell phone customers who respond to ads via text message, but fail to inform users that they would be subscribed to a monthly service

What does VR stand for?

VR IS Short for Virtual Reality, VR is a computer-generated artificial environment that allows a user to view, explore, and manipulate the environment and a term popularized by Jaron Lanier. Virtual Reality is a computer generated reality manipulated and explored using various input devices such as goggles, headphones, gloves, or a computer. Using these devices a user can browse throughout a virtual world or pickup and manipulate virtual objects. The picture shows a NASA employee using a VR system.

For those who are wondering what on earth VR is and why you should be getting your knickers or pants in a twist over it, you've come to the right place.

We are about to tell you what virtual reality is, how it works and what devices there are currently out there using this wonderful technology that you should make it your business to know about.

What is virtual reality (VR)?

First things first, you're going to need to know what VR actually is. The clue is in the name - it's the experience of a world that doesn't actually exist. We aren't talking about getting yourself lost in a book or day dreaming about a photo or painting however, even if these technically are also experiencing some sort of virtual reality.

The virtual reality we are talking about is one created by computers that allows you to experience and interact with a 3D world that isn't real by putting on a head-mounted display and some form of input tracking. The display will typically be split between your eyes, creating a stereoscopic 3D effect with stereo sound, and together with the technology and the input tracking, it will create an immersive, believable experience, allowing you to explore the virtual world being generated by the computer.

VR will make you feel like you are there mentally and physically. You turn your head and the world turns with you so the illusion created by whatever world you are in is never lost.

Watch a film in the cinema and the split-second fear you might feel when a devastating earthquake happens on screen will very quickly disappear if you turn your head to see the person next to you munching away on their popcorn. Films and books take you to different fictional worlds, but they are not world's you change based on your actions.

There are various kinds of virtual reality from fully immersive and non-immersive to collaborative and web-based. The VR everyone is excited about is the fully-immersive variation because this is the explorable and interactive 3D computer-created world that can take you to places reality might not allow for, be that walking on Mars or driving around the mountains in a sportscar.

Where did virtual reality come from?

VR as we know it today has been kicking around for decades. To give you an idea, the first head-mounted display wasn't Oculus, even though this is the device that arguably drove the VR renaissance, it was a device called Headsight that was created in the 1960s. But there were non-digital predecessors, all the way from 360 degree paintings that had the same aim: to take your experience to another place. VR is the wise guy in tech and not just because it is old.

The technology has been used for all sorts of things over its 200 years from science and medicine to training pilots and helping architects present their latest skyscraper, allowing people to experience walking through it before a brick has been laid.

Yes, the current focus might be largely on gaming, but that's not all that VR is good for. VR has plenty of applications and this is only likely to expand as the technology develops further.

Audi recently announced it would be putting VR in some of its brand stores for example, allowing customers to experience any of its 50-something models in the colours they want, the extras they might add and in the surroundings they might drive in. Go ahead, take an A1 to the moon to visit the John Lewis advert's man and his balloons.

How does virtual reality work?

The virtual reality we have been referring to in this feature typically requires some form of head-mounted display, a computer, smartphone or console that creates the 3D world and some form of input tracking, which could be hand tracking, voice or head.

There are currently a number of head-mounted displays all using this set-up including Oculus, which is the system Facebook bought in a deal worth $2 billion in 2014, HTC Vive, Sony PlayStation VR, Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR, and others.

As we mentioned, some of the VR devices contain a display, splitting the feed for each eye. In these cases, a cable (usually HDMI) will transfer the video from your PC or console to the screen(s) in front of your eyes. For the likes of Google Cardboard and Samsung's Gear VR and some of the more affordable options, a smartphone is slotted into the headset and used as the display with the content already loaded on.

How do you tell if a pen is biro or ink?

A Ballpoint pen has a round ball at the tip, which is used to control the flow of ink onto the page. Almost all modern pens are ballpoint, ballpoint pens are a relatively recent invention.

The only common alternative to a Ballpoint pen is a Fountain pen.

A Fountain pen is identifiable by the shape of its "nib", which is commonly a flat piece of metal with a channel down the middle which controls the flow of ink onto the page.

Broadly speaking, the most common ballpoint pen you will find is a disposable type, with a thin tube of ink which will be visible from the outside if the casing is clear.

Disposable pens are commonly marked with a coloured cap to indicate the colour of the ink inside.

When writing with a ballpoint pen, it is usually neccessary to press the tip onto the page, or the ink will not come out in a regular fashion. As a consequence when writing on soft paper, in a pad for example there is usually a visible mark left on the pages below. This can be an advantage, as a layer of Carbon paper can be put behind the top page, and the carbon will be left on the page below, leading to "carbon copies".

It is not normally practical to use a fountain pen with carbon copies, as by contrast, a fountain pen does not need a lot of pressure in order to write.

Hence when the same person is writing they will normally have two distinct styles from which type of pen they use.

There are some more expensive types of ballpoint which allow you to keep the pen and replace the ink supply, but Fountain pens are usually designed with a replaceable supply of ink in mind.

Most modern types of fountain pen use an internal cartridge to store the reservoir of ink, although historically earlier fountain pens were supplied with ink by dipping the tip into a jar of ink, and some later types were designed to allow the ink to be "sucked up" through the nib into an internal reservoir.

I hope this helps!
