TV ON YOUR PC

Watching TV on a computer or a laptop is proven to save money from the high cost of cable / satellite TV services. It allows you to see channels from all over the world in many different languages and to keep up with your favorite programs while you travel anywhere in the world. The software needed has come down in price, is perfectly legal
and can be found through several sources. Shop wisely. Ask questions and if you're not getting the answers you want, move on.

NOT ACTUALLY DELETED
(Portions reprinted from articles appearing on Yahoo..)

Ever wonder what actually happens when you try to delete a photo you've  uploaded to a social site like My Space or facebook? Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL to the picture is (the actual photo, not the page on which the photo resides), and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.

Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University (so you know this is legit, people!) have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.

Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.

In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time." Though obviously that time can vary considerably.

Of course, once a photo escapes from the walled garden of a social network like Facebook, the chances of deleting it permanently fall even further. Google's caching system is remarkably efficient at archiving copies of web content, long after it's removed from the web. Anyone who's ever used Google Image Search can likely tell you a story about clicking on a thumbnail image, only to find that the image has been deleted from the website in question -- yet the thumbnail remains on Google for months. And then there are services like the Wayback Machine, which copy entire websites for posterity, archiving data and pictures forever.

The lesson: Those drunken party photos you don't want people to see? Simply don't upload them to the web, ever, because trying to delete them after you sober up is a tough proposition.

2 A Worm is a self-replicating virus that does not alter files but resides in active memory and duplicates itself. Worms
use parts of an operating system that are automatic and usually invisible to the user. It is common for worms to be noticed only after their uncontrolled replication consumes system resources, slowing or halting other tasks.
1 Viruses are self-executing, self-replicating programs. They alter the way a computer operates without the knowledge
or permission of the user. When activated,, viruses may damage files, cause erratic system behavior, or display annoying
messages. The ability to self-replicate differentiates viruses from Trojan horses and other virus-like programs.

3 A Trojan Horse uses unprotected ports to open lines of communication with your computer, and can ultimately give
hackers control over your machine. Active Trojan Horses are also called Remote Access Trojans.
