Fred Langa offers a step-by-step and illustrated guide on how to boot XP from an ordinary USB drive. Chances are you already either have a USB "thumb" drive, or you will have one in the near future--these little solid-state flash memory devices are inexpensive, nearly ubiquitous, and very, very handy.

Not only can they replace floppy drives for casual file transfers, but the larger capacity thumb drives also can serve as the basis for an excellent, fit-in-your-pocket software repair kit, letting you diagnose and repair PCs, including those that might otherwise be unbootable or that are locked by password or other problems. We've discussed USB drives before in "What's Behind The USB Drive Revolution".

We also looked at ways to make a USB drive bootable from DOS in "Solving USB Boot Problems". We've also mentioned ways to boot from Linux (such as is discussed in this HowTo or in this Google search.) And there also can be issues in the USB devices themselves. 1 of 4 More Insights. How to Make Your USB Drive into a Digital Swiss Army Knife. Country-based packet filtering with iptables. Posted by imagine on Tue 17 Apr 2007 at 17:59 Bruteforce attacks shouldn't pose a real security risk to any server but are still annoying and clog up your logfiles.

Many methods to block these break-in attempts exist, like BlockHosts, Fail2ban or rate-limiting incoming connections. However, on my search I also came across one tool for which I couldn't find an easy guide: geoip. geoip is a module for netfilter/iptables and allows you to filter packets based on the country they come from or go to. Following is a step-by-step guide on how to install geoip. Obviously the module can also be used for other things than just blocking bruteforce attacks.

For example for what the original author calls "racist routing", that is to prevent users from certain countries from accessing your webserver or whatever. But as always it's up to everyone individually what he uses it for. First off let me say that I don't administrate servers for a living but only do this in my spare time, so be warned. 1. 2. Search redefined. Anyone with even a remote interest in the semantic space has likely experienced the same roller coaster I have regarding Powerset.

When I first spoke with Barney Pell over a year ago, the semantic tech sector was an entirely different landscape. I was intrigued by my conversation with Barney and the short demo I saw of Powerset-enabled search. How nifty that the engine knows what I mean by “who did IBM acquire”! But as months went by, we didn’t hear much from Powerset, save a seemingly incongruous Labs announcement. And we heard much from other players in the space. The focus of the semantics community moved away from search to organization – making users’ Internet activity easier to manage – and answering the question of how to take semantics to the masses.

Frankly, I had dismissed Powerset as an early mover in the space that had run out of steam. The Outline feature of the Powerset search is a real gem and I expect will set a new standard for UI in search technology. Like this: Search takes a new shape. Back in the old days – or the ’90s as some call them – we utilized the Internet as an information resource. What’s that phone number, where is that address, where can I buy that product – you had concrete questions and were no longer required to speak to a human to get answers. Sure, there were bulletin boards and Usenet forums for discussion but they primarily involved coding arguments and game walkthroughs. The Internet wasn’t truly upended into a community, and all that that entails, until just a couple of years ago. It was then that the inundation of bloggers collided with social networking and lifestreaming to produce a perfect storm of content. (And when I say lifestreaming, I mean the trend of putting as many pieces of our life online as possible – books we’re reading, music we like, etc.)

The logical next step in this technological journey is to therefore prune, to make our time online more meaningful and relevent, no matter how small the nugget of information.

Keeping focus on users’ information and its context in connection with other applications and services has always been the Zoho way of developing apps. We have after all been altruistic to have integrated our top apps like Zoho CRM, Zoho Projects and Zoho Invoice with external applications such as, for example, Gmail for the benefit of Google Apps users with whom we compete in some market segments. Considering the fact that Zoho’s own portfolio of apps is one of the broadest around, developing tighter integrations between Zoho Apps tops our list of priorities. The goal is to move towards a ‘one Zoho’ experience so that whichever app a user happens to be, it pulls relevant information from other apps, and displays it in the right context. Today, we are happy to announce contextual gadgets in Zoho Mail.

Avec la multiplication des plateformes sociales, il devient de plus en plus compliqué de gérer les conversations et les traces que vous laissez.

Pire, si un service que vous utilisez ferme ses portes, vous perdez l’historique des interactions sociales qui étaient hébergées dessus. C’est là où intervient Silentale, une startup française (cocorico !) Qui a reçu le prix du public lors de l’édition 2008 de LeWeb (Arg ! Mais comment ça se prononce ?). L’idée est de proposer un service de consolidation et d’archivage de vos emails et conversations sur les principales plateformes sociales du marché (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Gmail, Yahoo! La première étape consiste donc à brancher sur le service vos différents comptes : Puis après quelques heures de travail, le service a rapatrié sur la plateforme vos différents messages et conversations : L’interface est agréable et surtout ça fonctionne bien ! Après les services d’agrégation, nous voici donc arrivée à l’étape suivante : l’archivage. Top 5 des plateformes de microblogging.

Les plateformes de microblogging ont eu le vent en poupe en 2009 et ce n’est pas pour nous déplaire. En effet, nous en avons profité pour les paramétrer, les exploiter et au final les dompter. Mais au milieu de tous ces services, lesquels sont encore debout ? Lesquels valent encore le coup ? Petit tour d’horizon avec ce Top 5 des plateformes de microblogging… Twitter : sans conteste le grand gagnant de cette année, Twitter a su convaincre la plupart de ses utilisateurs avec ses célèbres 140 caractères !

La liste des faux antivirus. Gare aux faux antivirus qui circulent sur Internet comme aux suites logicielles soit disant « Total Security » qui causeront plus de tort à votre ordinateur qu’elles ne le protégeront.

Certains messages, parfois persuasifs, peuvent amener certains utilisateurs qui débutent dans le monde de l’Internet à télécharger un logiciel antivirus, moyennant finance, qui au pire des cas aura eu pour effet de délester l’internaute de quelques dizaines d’euros, au pire d’avoir contaminer la machine délibérément, à base de vers, trojans, adwares et spywares… Ces rogues sont de véritables arnaques mais l’activité n’est pas prête à décliner étant donné qu’elle est très rentable…

10 Golden Rules of Social Media. From A Geek’s Geek: Daniel Raffel’s Favorite New Projects, Produ. When Daniel Raffel emailed and asked if we’d be interested in publishing his list of favorite stuff from 2009 we quickly agreed. He has worked on some of the more interesting projects in Silicon Valley over the last couple of years, and has his finger on the pulse of new technology. His post is below.

As the year winds down, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my favorite tech launches this year. As I started assembling my list and bouncing them off friends I started to group them into the following categories: New Projects, New Products and Services, Feature Updates, and iPhone Apps. This list is an admittedly subjective batch. For instance, you’ll notice I am clearly interested in these trends: games, geo services, HTML5, identity, mobile, music, social updates, and web development.

I’d love to hear what you think were exciting developments this year! New Projects Dive into HTML5 There are so many reasons to be excited about HTML5. New Products and Services Feature Updates. Soon7 : Blog d'un passioné du web et de ses spécifités locales a.
