If you are like me you have a laptop or a desktop that you can’t seem to install drivers on. I’ve been itching to use Nvidia’s CUDA. CUDA is using the GPU (graphics processing unit) to do calculations instead of the CPU. GPU’s have many more cores than a CPU to handle all of the [...]

Anti-Virus: Free vs Paid

Rohit — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:24:58 +0000

There has always been a war between opensource freeware and paid software. One area that I feel freeware wins out is in the anti-virus market. For one, the big anti-virus companies have made it so that you have to buy their software every year, like a subscription. Imagine you have been paying for anti-virus for [...]

Defragmenting. What exactly is it? Well whenever you download a new file, move files around, or make a copies with your files, they will not get written sequentially. They will be fragmented into pieces and written to the disk wherever there is room. After a while, this makes looking for files slower because it has [...]
