ALL TIPS AND TRICKS

  • Why use freeware?

    Why use freeware? Free software is a valid choice for many home computer, office computer and Internet server uses. Freeware comes in two basic types, free software with proprietary (ie private) code, and open-source software. It's important to remember that freeware is not a cheap or second-class option - it can often be functionally superior to equivalent commercial software and even of higher quality. This is possible because of the way software of this type can be developed. As an example, if we look at the Firefox browser, you can see that it is better in perhaps 20 out of 25 measurable parameters, when compared to rival commercial offerings. Such an application is built and developed by a large distributed workforce as opposed to a small centralized one. ...

  • Free vs Open-Source software

    Free vs Open-Source software Freeware can be either of proprietary code only accessible by the developer or open-source software, aka OSS, where the code is published and available for inspection. It would be interesting to measure the percentage of each, in proportion to the whole of the free software 'market'. In the past, free proprietary programs would have been clearly ahead, but the numbers are much closer now, due to the big rise in popularity of the open-source method of software development. Free programs tend to be created by one developer or a small localized team, and OSS programs are often built by large distributed teams. Such large team efforts are called projects ...

  • Program safety and security.

    Program safety and security Open-source software has another big advantage: it's transparent. The code is public, which means nothing dubious can be inserted in it, and it can't be made to also carry out someone else's agenda. This is immensely useful for users as it cuts out any possibility of applications also running someone else's operations on top of your own, such as reporting on websites visited. This advantage is so great that in areas such as cryptography and security it is recognised that open-source software is the only viable solution. Commercial producers are subject to pressures, ...

  • How do freeware authors earn a living?

    As just seen, there are a variety of business models. The authors give the software away for a number of reasons: The authors are developers who work for commercial ventures in their day jobs, and wish to code something more personally interesting in their spare time Coders like to code, and will find some outlet for their work A developer would rather see an application in wide use, than have the aggravation of trying to sell it, and then have a comparatively small user base Among other developers (who, after all, are the only people who count), a developer gains status by rising in the ranks of top contributors to a well-known project ...

Quote:

K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools. Codec is short for Compressor-Decompressor. Codecs are needed for encoding and decoding (playing) audio and video. This Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your movie files. You should be able to play all the popular movie formats and even some rare formats.

There are five variants of the K-Lite Codec Pack:

The basic variant contains everything you need to play all the common video file formats. Such as AVI, MKV, MP4, OGM, and FLV. This pack is for those who like a small no-nonsense pack.

The standard variant contains some additional features compared to the basic variant. It contains Media Player Classic, which is an excellent player for video files. It also has (better) support for playback of DVDs. This pack is recommended for the average user.

The full variant has many additional features. It supports playback of several (lossless) audio formats. It contains VFW/ACM codecs that can be used for encoding. It has playback support for a few legacy audio and video formats. This package is suitable for power users.

The corporate variant is a special version for use in a corporate environment. It is similar to the full variant, minus a few items, but almost just as powerful. It has a strong focus on open source software.

The mega variant has almost the same contents as the full variant, but additionally contains Real Alternative and some extra VFW/ACM codecs.

how to protect your computer with a USB flash drive

For some people, it is very important to know how to protect your computer with a USB flash drive. There 



are times when you work with computers in the office, you have to leave it temporarily, for example: pick up the phone, receiving guests, or go to the toilet. At times like that your computer security is needed. Bad things could be happened if you are careless or do not care about your computer security. Someone could ruin your day and you can only regret just because you are not protecting your computer. For example, when you leave your computer, someone else could steal confidential data (ie.passwords, personal data, office data, etc.) in your computer.

If you are often experiencing the condition like that then I suggest you to protect your computer with a USB flash drive. This method is very simple yet effective. Then how to do that? There is a freeware, called Predator that allows you to

Simply remove USB flash drive to lock computer and insert USB flash to unlock your computer. It works very effective, there’s no need to remember a password, and even you don’t have to close your windows session when you lock your computer. Here are some steps to make it works

Plug your USB flash drive into computer’s USB port
1.
2. Run Predator
3. You do your work as usual
3. When you are about to leave your computer, remove USB flash and take it with you. After you remove the USB flash, keyboard and mouse will be disabled and your monitor screen darkens. No one can interrupt it even with Ctrl-Alt-Del
