E-Commerce..??
Many people new to websites and/or ecommerce are confused at the in and outs of ecommerce. Even many people who are fairly adept at scripting can set up a store using some popular package such as OSCommerce and then are left stumped by the idea of making it work with a payment gateway to actually collect money and put it into their account. In this article, I will give a brief overview of how the system is set up to collect your money. I will then discuss briefly what to look for in evaluating payment gateways. As usual, I will keep this basic and understandable just as I do with all of my articles.
The Basics – How Funds are Collected
Ecommerce simply refers to the practice of shopping online. From the site owner’s perspective, it entails collecting funds from sales transactions on their website and depositing that money into the bank. In order to collect funds, you need to have a merchant account and a payment gateway (discussed below). Basically, when a person enters their credit card number on a website, the card number and buyer information is sent to a payment gateway. This is done securely. The payment gateway will interface with a payment processor to check availability of funds as well as any other criteria set for accepting transactions. If the funds are available, the payment processor will then deduct the funds. The payment gateway will then report back a successful transaction to the merchant, at which point the merchant’s shopping cart system will respond by displaying a “Thank You” type message to the buyer. Funds will sit until the transaction is settled, which means the funds are collected and deposited to your bank account. Until a transaction is settled, the transaction will not post to your bank account and the corresponding debit will not post to the buyer’s credit card account. Continue reading “E-Commerce..??” »
How To Replace Localhost With Own Domain In Local Server
Before I start this tips and trick, authors need to explain the means used in this exercise.
In this exercise the author Using Windows XP and XAMPP
Most people run the files on their website using the localhost or http://localhost http://127.0.0.1. Maybe some of you already know that localhost can be replaced with your domain name (http://yourdomain.com) only by adding these lines to the file 127.0.0.1 yourdomain.com hosts that are in the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, then you can run the domainname as you see fit.
Example of writing:
127.0.0.1 localhost

2 Plugin It Must Be In WordPress
WP Security Scan – This handy plugin will scan your wordpress installation to look for any possible security / vulnerability holes in WordPress. Most of the security items that it finds, it can fix automatically by itself, with no work on the users part. The only things that need to be performed by the user is to change the chmod permissions of files indicated as security risk. Easy to install, just extract to your plugin directory and activate the plugin.
Nofollow Reciprocity – Essentially what this plugin does, is look through a list of websites that use nofollow rules for links on their website. It then checks your blog for links going to these website, and adds nofollow to these links so you do not bleed off your pagerank which can cause a loss of serp because of non-recriporcal links. The plugin website goes into indepth detail of why you need to run this plugin and how it will help you with Organic Search Ranking. Easy install, just activate the plugin and it does the rest for you.
Note: My only complaint with Nofollow was the link it puts in the footer that says
This blog contributes to the web with Nofollow Reciprocity.
So I decided to remove it because it was messing up my theme, and looks bad to have a link hanging at the bottom of my website outside of my wp theme.
Here are instructions to remove it, if you wish to do so.
- Login into your Site Admin
- Click on Plugins on the far Right of the screen
- Click on Plugin Editor
- Locate the plugin – Nofollow Reciprocity and click on it
- When the page reloads scroll down the bottom of the code screen
- Locate and Find this Code and Delete it, then update the page.
function wp_nofollow_reciprocity_insert_link() {
echo (‘<p>This blog contributes to the web with <a href=”http://www.inverudio.com/programs/WordPressBlog/NofollowReciprocity.php#wp”>Nofollow Reciprocity</a>.</p>’);
}
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_nofollow_reciprocity_insert_link’,999);

Ip Address Structure, Expilinatin OF IP Address
IP ADDRESS STRUCTURE:
Note: the terms multicast address and MSB are explained at the end.
Every station on a PSN (packet switched network) that is based on the TCP/IP
protocol (your computer is one, for example. Yes, we’re referring to a host
that is connected to the net) must have an IP address, so it can be identified,
and information can be relayed and routed to it in an orderly fashion.
An IP address consists of a 32 bit logical address. The address is divided
into two fields:
1) The network address:
Assigned by InterNIC (Internet Network Information Center). In fact most ISPs (internet service providers) purchase a number of addresses and assign them individually.
2) The host address:
An address that identifies the single nodes throughout the network. It can be assigned by the network manager, by using protocols for it such as DHCP, or the workstation itself.
[The IP networking protocol is a logically routed protocol, meaning that address 192.43.54.2 will be on the same physical wire as address 192.43.54.3 (of course this is not always true. It depends on the subnet mask of the network, but all of that can fill a text of its own) Continue reading “Ip Address Structure, Expilinatin OF IP Address” »
How to clear Bios info
READ EVEYTHING BEFORE YOU USE ANY METHOD LISTED BELOW
Basic BIOS password crack – works 9.9 times out of ten This is a password hack but it clears the BIOS such that the next time you start the PC, the CMOS does not ask for any password. Now if you are able to bring the DOS prompt up, then you will be able to change the BIOS setting to the default. To clear the CMOS do the following:
Get DOS prompt and type:
DEBUG hit enter
-o 70 2e hit enter
-o 71 ff hit enter
-q hit enter
exit hit enter
Restart the computer. It works on most versions of the AWARD BIOS. Continue reading “How to clear Bios info” »
How Linux boots
As it turns out, there isn’t much to the boot process:
- A boot loader finds the kernel image on the disk, loads it into memory, and starts it.
- The kernel initializes the devices and its drivers.
- The kernel mounts the root filesystem.
- The kernel starts a program called init.
- init sets the rest of the processes in motion.
- The last processes that init starts as part of the boot sequence allow you to log in.
Identifying each stage of the boot process is invaluable in fixing boot problems and understanding the system as a whole. To start, zero in on the boot loader, which is the initial screen or prompt you get after the computer does its power-on self-test, asking which operating system to run. After you make a choice, the boot loader runs the Linux kernel, handing control of the system to the kernel.
There is a detailed discussion of the kernel elsewhere in this book from which this article is excerpted. This article covers the kernel initialization stage, the stage when the kernel prints a bunch of messages about the hardware present on the system. The kernel starts init just after it displays a message proclaiming that the kernel has mounted the root filesystem: Continue reading “How Linux boots” »

User's Guide To Avoiding Virus Infections, Keeping an eye out for viruses
Computer viruses are everywhere! This guide will show you how to stay alert and how to avoid getting infections on your computer. Having an updated virus scanner is only a small part of this, there are many ways that you can prevent having viruses other than a virus scanner, as it will not always save you.
Types of viruses
There are many type of viruses. Typical viruses are simply programs or scripts that will do various damage to your computer, such as corrupting files, copying itself into files, slowly deleting all your hard drive etc. This depends on the virus. Most viruses also mail themselves to other people in the address book. This way they spread really fast and appear at others’ inboxes as too many people still fall for these. Most viruses will try to convince you to open the attachment, but I have never got one that tricked me. In fact, I found myself emailing people just to make sure they really did send me something. It does not hurt to be safe.
Worms
Worms are different type of viruses, but the same idea, but they are usually designed to copy themselves a lot over a network and usually try to eat up as much bandwidth as possible by sending commands to servers to try to get in. The code red worm is a good example of this. This worm breaks in a security hole in Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server) in which is a badly coded http server that, despite the security risks, a lot of people use it. When the worm successfully gets in, it will try to go into other servers from there. When IceTeks was run on a dedicated server at my house, there was about 10 or so attempts per day, but because we ran Apache, the attempts did not do anything but waste bandwidth and not much as I had it fixed a special way. Some worms such as the SQL slammer will simply send themselves over and over so many times that they will clog up networks, and sometimes all of the internet. Worms usually affect servers more than home users, but again, this depends on what worm it is. It is suspected that most worms are efforts from the RIAA to try to stop piracy, so they try to clog up networks that could contain files. Unfortunately, the RIAA have the authority to do these damages and even if caught, nothing can be done.

Virtual Memory Information
Tutorial Objective
This tutorial talks about anything about the virtual memory and how much virtual memory you need for your system.
Tutorial Introduction & Background
Today application is getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, it requires a bigger system memory in order for the system to hold the application data, instruction, and thread and to load it. The system needs to copy the application data from the HDD into the system memory in order for it to process and execute the data. Once the memory gets filled up with data, the system will stop loading the program. In this case, users need to add more memory onto their system to support that intense application. However, adding more system memory costs the money and the normal user only needs to run the the intense application that requires the memory only for one or two days. Therefore, virtual memory is introduced to solve that type of problem.
Terminology & Explanation
There are two types of memory, which are as follows:
* System Memory is a memory that is used to store the application data and instruction in order for the system to process and execute that application data and instruction. When you install the memory sticks to increase the system RAM, you are adding more system memory. System Memory can be known as either the physical memory or the main memory.
