Synergy-It is not what you think

Always wanted a tool that will enable you to point a single website to your colleagues having different computers that are linked together ?

Yeah I have found a tool to do exactly the same.Read about the same below here.Sure will simplify life for a lot of people!.

synergy: [noun] a mutually advantageous conjunction of distinct elements

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems.

http://synergy2.sourceforge.net

Synergy does exist.

CoolMon

This is a very interesting question for Electronic and Computer Hardware firms and any other firm that uses computers and the Internet.The question has been answered below and yes please try to use CoolMon if possible.

What is CoolMon?

CoolMon is a program for monitoring vital system stats and almost anything else you wish to display on the desktop. It can also display stats from remote pc's and publish real-time stats on a webpage. The application can display CPU, RAM and page file usage, hard drive usage, MotherBoard Monitor temperatures and fan speeds, various network stats and much, much more. For a full list of CoolMons abilities, see the features page. To view some of the different ways you can make CoolMon display the data, please see the screenshots page.

CoolMon is a freeware utility written by the CoolMon crew, who are members of the Ars Technica OpenForum community. CoolMon was one of many software projects which are written and distributed freely by members of the Ars community. The projects have become known as Arsware, check out the website for more cool stuff. More recently, CoolMon has broken away from Arsware a bit. It now has its own hosting facilities, and may, in the future, cease to be officially affiliated with Arsware. Of course, our software will continue to be open-source and freely distributed.
CoolMon is released under the BSD license, please see the license page, under the downloads section for more information, about this

Computing in Indian Lanuages

I firmly believe that computing skills should be taught in a very user friendly manner in a local language and it should really uplift the standard of life of the people in a country.This is for India and yes it is a simple low cost solution in my opinion-the cost could be debatable but I am presenting an option and do not bother me about costs.

Computing in Indian Languages (Localization of GNU/Linux and Applications in Indian Languages).

invented by mistake!

There are so many products invented by mistake.

The chip is one of them if I am not mistaken (both the computer chip and the potato chip).The potato chip was invented when a cook was mad at his captain and sliced potatoes after peeling them and fried them and served the same to the captain after adding salt and the computer chip was an accident and the result is the admirable giant called Intel Inc.

For more information of other products invented by accidents we need not look further than 3 M- a truly innovative company.The links to other companies and famous products is below:

http://www.minbu.connectfree.co.uk/invent.htm

Coke,rubber and the pacemakers are other useful articles that come to mind.Another innovative company that comes to my mind is http://www.ideo.com

Make mistakes,have fun and save lives,time,money and make the impact and help people without wanting anything back.

The Zigbee Alliance

The ZigBee Alliance is an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked monitoring and control products based on an open global standard.

Some of the best brands in the world today are associated with this alliance.Electronics recyclers also should join this alliance in my humble opinion.

The CRA and Microsoft

Computing Research Association in Washington, D.C., persuaded Microsoft to fund a CRA-sponsored workshop for female computer science and engineering graduate students to help counter both their alienation and escalating dropout rates. Held at a Seattle hotel, it introduced 102 women in first-year postgraduate programs to stars of the profession who could serve as role models at a time when fewer than 10 percent of their full professors are female. "Students need to see people who've achieved successes,"

Really sweet of Microsoft to have sponsored the event and the CRA too for taking the initiative and actually presenting great role models to young and old alike.Certainly deserves more exposure and I am doing my bit too by writing about it in my blog.

The relevant links are:

www.microsoft.com
http://cra.org
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/040816/biztech/16eegeeks.htm

US news too deserves a pat for doing great work in making the story more popular.

Encouraging females to learn Linux

I am sure I will learn linux when a beautiful girl sits down and teaches me all about linux very,very patiently and yeah it will be my real learning of computers.I am sure I will get some serious female viewership after making this post on my blog!!!!

If you're curious about how your behavior appears to females, my best suggestion is to find one you know who tends to be blunt and outspoken, and ask her if she remembers you saying or doing something offensive to girls. You might be surprised at her response. Remember, most girls would rather chew off a leg than be rude to a man to his face, so it may be difficult to get an honest answer-chances are the girls will beat a hasty retreat or slap you for being blunt!.

Read about it all and it is honest real world advise and this is for computers too in general.It is unknown to date as to how many girls are slashdotters?

The full content is in the index and the link works-so girls what r u waitin for?Please learn and tolerate us guys.We really need the understanding and ironing.

Any answers-I will post the same here.

What is OYBIKE?

The OYBike System is a street-based rental station network that allows you to hire and return a bicycle 24/7 via your mobile phone. The OYBike system is based on the availability of rental bicycles at key locations:
Tube stations
Public buildings
Key transport interchanges
Car Parks These bicycles are secured to their bike stands using cables that are attached to the bicycle and which double as security locking cables when the bicycles are on hire. Each bike stand is equipped with a specially developed electronic lock operated through a keyboard and LCD display. This lock holds the cable secure until that bicycle is rented out. An OYBike registered user select an available bicycle and the locks display a code, the user then calls the OYBike call centre and gives them that code.
A unique pin code is then read out to the user and sent back by text messaging. This pin code is entered into the lock to release the bicycle. After use the bicycle is locked into any empty port on an available OYBike station. A unique pin will appear on the lock display that must be sent back to OYBike to end the hire period.

MOre details and hiring info for my UK friends available in this link.I am doing a bit for the environment.

New to Java?

There are two routes to take to improve your skills -- take a course (for certification or just for the learning) or teach yourself (and of course, practice by writing code). Besides tapping the knowledge of experienced developers, the certification path can offer tangible proof to prospective employers that you possess the skills needed to build the technology they require. And by experimenting on your own, using available resources, you sharpen your skills in various areas of Java technology. The following resources will help.

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/newto/#5

The link comes from Big Blue.It is doing a great job evangelizing Java and giving so much to play around with.One has to be really frugal and not waste-time,money,food,power etc.

Welcome to the Java Mistakes Page!

As a Java programming instructor, you see a lot of strange errors. Eventually, you start to recognize certain patterns or favorite ways that novice programmers get mixed up. The mistakes documented on this page are all ones that I've seen a dozen times or more. They're all easy to fix, if you can recognize them!
This page is designed to be a resource both for new Java programmers and for new Java instructors. Click on the 'Java Page' banner for my main Java page, where you can find a few applets and links to lots of Java resources.
JavaSoft has a nice 'New to Java' section in their training web site.

An intro to BitTorrent

You have a great product, many customers, and are delivering your product to hordes of happy customers online. Serving large files creates problems of scaling, flash crowds, and reliability. As you grow, they become more central to your business, but your bandwidth costs go up as well. It's a vicious cycle.
There is a solution. BitTorrent is a simple software product which addresses all of these problems.
The key to cheap file distribution is to tap the unutilized upload capacity of your customers. It's free. Their contribution grows at the same rate as their demand, creating limitless scalability for a fixed cost.

Fixingyourwebsite.com

This content though meant for Americans is meant for the people who blindly follow Americans also.Spiderman in a Lungi cartoon that I saw was a class-Peter Parker was called Pavitra Parkar and Mary Jane becomes Meera Jain.

The purpose of this site is to take your current web site design, discover what flaws may exist, and then correct them so your site can effectively sell products or disseminate information.

But before you can fix your site, you have to recognize what's wrong with its current design. Since our education system here in America has been so poor and it's now geared toward ensuring that students learn how to take tests rather than learn anything, developing a critical eye hasn't been a high priority. It's more important for kids to pass tests so the schools receive government funding.

Our schools also don't teach art, music, and much in the way of the humanities. Sigh. And you wonder why little Johnny is a thug?
