Increase your internet speed

Click Start then Run and type “gpedit.msc” without quotes.

This opens the “group policy editor” and go to: “Local Computer Policy”

Then “Computer Configuration” Then “Administrative Templates”

Then select “Network” then “QOS Packet Scheduler”

After that select “Limit Reservable Bandwidth”.

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab i.e.” By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20

iFolder

Novell Netware, Web Technology No Comments »

iFolder is an open source application, developed by Novell, Inc., intended to allow cross-platform file sharing across computer networks.
iFolder operates on the concept of shared folders, where a folder is marked as shared and the contents of the folder are then synchronized to other computers over a network, either directly between computers in a peer-to-peer fashion or through a server. This is intended to allow a single user to synchronize files between different computers (for example between a work computer and a home computer) or share files with other users (for example a group of people who are collaborating on a project).
The core of the iFolder is actually a project called Simias. It is Simias which actually monitors files for changes, synchronizes these changes and controls the access permissions on folders. The actual iFolder clients (including a graphical desktop client and a web client) are developed as separate programs that communicate with the Simias back-end.

Web OS

Web Technology No Comments »
WebOS and Web operating system are terms that describe network services for internet scale distributed computing, as in the WebOS Project at UC Berkeley , and the WOS Project . In both cases the scale of the web operating system extends across the internet, like the web.
However, the terms WebOS and Web operating system have been employed more broadly and with far greater popularity in the context of “the web as in HTTP”, and for many meanings ranging from singular systems to collections of systems . In April 2002, Tim O’Reilly spoke of “the emergent Internet operating system” as an open collection of Web services.
Common to uses for collections of systems, a Web operating system is distinct from Internet operating systems in that it is independent of the traditional individual computer operating system. This conception of the system reflects an evolution of research in the field of operating systems into the increasingly minimized (for example, TinyOS and Exokernel) and distributed (for example, Inferno), and for distributed systems increasingly defined in terms of the specification of their network protocols more than their implementations (for example, Plan9’s 9P).
In a usage referring to singular network services, a Web operating system is another name for a Webtop, including eyeOS, YouOS, G.ho.st, Ulteo and DesktopTwo. These services turn the desktop into a service that runs on the Internet  rather than on the local computer. As these services include a file system and application management system, they increasingly overlap with the functionality of a traditional desktop computer operating system.
In a usage referring to desktop (or handheld) computer application environments, a Web operating system is a traditional operating system that is focused on supporting Web applications themselves, or a desktop operating system solely providing Web access . Systems like these also are known as kiosks.WebOS and Web operating system are terms that describe network services for internet scale distributed computing, as in the WebOS Project at UC Berkeley , and the WOS Project .

Phishing

Web Technology No Comments »

In computing, phishing is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay, PayPal and online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging, and often directs users to enter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical measures.
A phishing technique was described in detail as early as 1987, while the first recorded use of the term “phishing” was made in 1996. The term is a variant of fishing, probably influenced by phreaking, and alludes to the use of increasingly sophisticated baits used in the hope of a “catch” of financial information and passwords. The word may also be linked to leetspeak, in which ph is a common substitution for f.

Web Feed Server

Servers, Web Technology No Comments »
Web Feed Server, also known as an RSS Server, enables the distribution, management, reading and tracking of internal and external RSS, ATOM and XML web feeds behind an organization’s firewall. Using a web feed server, IT administrators can create users and groups and define subscriptions for each. Typically a web feed server manages the synchronization of web feeds between desktop, browser and mobile RSS readers connected to the server. Additionally, it aggregates the company wide RSS feeds, eliminating the need for individual RSS feed aggregators per computer.
