Every Vista computer can have its own domain name By Jeremy Reimer | Published: November 14, 2006 - 07:36AM CT With Microsoft having released Windows Vista to manufacturing, the computing industry is now busy preparing for the first major Windows desktop operating system upgrade in more than five years. One of the new features of Vista that hasn't gotten much attention is Microsoft's new "Computer Name" feature, which extends Windows XP's Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP) service. Simply put, Computer Name allows users to identify their machine by a unique name, rather than an IP address, from anywhere on the planet. PNRP works by extending IPv6, the new standard for identifying computers and devices on the Internet. The old IPv4 standard, identifiable by the series of four integers between 0 and 255, was designed when the Internet was much smaller, and its maximum 4.3 billion addressable devices is starting to look somewhat cramped in the modern era.

September 16, 2003 Table types in MySQL: Part 1 - HEAP tables By Ian Gilfillan The MySQL table types We all know accessing data in RAM is a lot quicker than accessing data on disk. So, with this in mind, wouldn't it make sense for MySQL to store as much data as possible in memory? The answer is of course yes, and MySQL can in a number of ways. Query caches, holding indexes in memory, and most extreme of all, holding an entire table in memory. The latter is the topic of this article. Tables in memory are called HEAP tables. The MySQL table types include: * MyISAM tables, the default table type, which employs table locking, making it ideal for high volume select, low volume insert/update environments, such as most websites. * InnoDB tables, which supports transactions and referential integrity * ISAM tables, the old MySQL table type, replaced by MyISAM in most instances now. * BDB, which are also transaction safe. * MERGE tables, a table type for a collection of M

You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only). Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system. You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number,
