How to Reduce the Size of Your WinSXS Folder on Windows 7 or 8

This folder builds up unnecessary files over time, such as old versions of system components. This folder also contains files for uninstalled, disabled Windows components. Even if you don’t have a Windows component installed, it will be present in your WinSXS folder, taking up space. Why the WinSXS Folder Gets too Big The WinSXS folder contains all Windows system components. When Windows installs updates, it drops the new Windows component in the WinSXS folder and keeps the old component in the WinSXS folder.

Windows 7 dealt with this by including a feature that allows Windows to clean up old Windows update files after you install a new Windows service pack. However, Windows 7 only saw one service pack — Service Pack 1 — released in 2010. Clean Up Update Files To fix this problem, Microsoft recently backported a feature from Windows 8 to Windows 7.

The FCC changed course on network neutrality. Here is why you should care.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "[r]egulators are proposing new rules on Internet traffic that would allow broadband providers to charge companies a premium for access to their fastest lanes. […] [T]he proposal would […] allow providers to give preferential treatment to traffic from some content providers, as long as such arrangements are available on 'commercially reasonable' terms for all interested content companies. Whether the terms are commercially reasonable would be decided by the FCC on a case-by-case basis. " Yet, in a blog post yesterday, Chairman Wheeler explained that accounts "that the earlier policies of the Commission have been abandoned" are "incorrect. " Who is right? It makes four points: 1.

Formatting text - The diaspora* Project. On diaspora* it’s possible to format your text in status messages, comments and conversations using a simplified mark-up system called Markdown.

Formatting text - The diaspora* Project

This page gives an introduction to the codes used to create this formatting. The first thing to note is that you must use two line breaks between paragraphs (except items in a list), otherwise the paragraps will run together. If you really want just one line break between two paragraphs, add two spaces at the end of the first paragraph. This is where the Preview button comes in really handy. Try some formatting, preview it, work out what isn’t right, fix it, and preview again, until you’re happy! In the examples below, you can copy the text in the grey areas and paste it into the publisher in diaspora* and use the Preview button to try out some formatting.
