World's Greatest Shave 2010 - Be brave and shave! 10 Cool Ways to Use Nmap Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source (license) utility for network exploration or security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. In addition to my list you can also check out this Comprehensive Guide to Nmap here and of course the man pages Here are some really cool scanning techniques using Nmap 1) Get info about remote host ports and OS detection nmap -sS -P0 -sV -O <target> Where < target > may be a single IP, a hostname or a subnet -sS TCP SYN scanning (also known as half-open, or stealth scanning) -P0 option allows you to switch off ICMP pings. -sV option enables version detection -O flag attempt to identify the remote operating system Other option: -A option enables both OS fingerprinting and version detection -v use -v twice for more verbosity. nmap -sS -P0 -A -v < target > 2) Get list of servers with a specific port open
Sony PSP 2: What We Know About the New PSP Sony is not all that hot on leaking info about its new products. Reps from Sony could be standing in front of a giant sign that said “New Sony product is coming soon,” while they are holding that new product in their hands, and still they might deny the existence of the device. You could hand them that same device and claim that you broke into the manufacturing plant Sony uses, then took the device out of an official Sony box, and they would stare back at you with an innocent look in their eyes. So until this is 100-percent official, this is all rumor and conjecture. It just happens to be well documented and deeply sourced rumor and conjecture. The current consensus is that Sony will officially unveil the PSP2 on January 27 at an event, where Sony will be “sharing [its] business overview and strategy.” So assuming that it is official, and the world will soon behold the awesomeness that is the PSP2, what should we expect?

h2g2 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 99 ways to make your computer blazingly fast Over the last several years working in IT for various companies as a Systems Administrator, Network Administrator, and Help Desk professional, I’ve written and learned about many ways to increase the performance of not only my PC, but also of the many PCs on my networks ranging from Windows 98 to Windows Vista. In this article, I hope to compile a complete list of all the different methods and tricks that I’ve used to get the last bit of juice out of a slow PC. Whether you are using an old PC or the latest and greatest in hardware, you can still use some of these to make your PC run faster. Note that since I write two blogs, Help Desk Geek and Online Tech Tips, I have previously written about many performance tips already which I will link back to throughout. There are probably a lot of great tweaks and performance hacks that I’ve missed here, so feel free to chime in with comments! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28.
Joulemeter: VM, Server, Client, and Software Energy Usage - Micr The Joulemeter project is developing methods to improve the energy efficiency of computing devices and infrastructures. It provides a modeling tool to measure the energy usage of virtual machines (VMs), servers, desktops, laptops, and even individual software applications running on a computer. The visibility provided by Joulemeter is being used to improve power provisioning costs for data centers, virtualized power budgeting, desktop energy optimizations, and mobile battery management. About Joulemeter Energy costs have become increasingly important to computing, since they directly impact the power provisioning cost for computing infrastructures, the operating expense for both data centers and enterprise buildings, as well as battery life for laptops and mobile devices. The Joulemeter project focuses on the following aspects related to energy optimization: Short Video: Introducing Joulemeter [3min 30sec] Detailed Video: Inside Joulemeter [34 min] Power Modeling Power Optimization
The World’s First 3D Printing Pen that Lets you Draw Sculptures Forget those pesky 3D printers that require software and the knowledge of 3D modeling and behold the 3Doodler, the world’s first pen that draws in three dimensions in real time. Imagine holding a pen and waving it through the air, only the line your pen creates stays frozen, suspended and permanent in 3D space. Sound like magic? Well it certainly looks like it, watch the video above to see the thing in action. The 3Doodler was designed by Boston-based company WobbleWorks who recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to sell the miraculous little devices that utilizes a special plastic which is heated and instantly cooled to form solid structures as you draw.

Deferred Student Loans to Focus on Credit Card Debt Emily Holden of Brighton, Mass., wrote: I’m pretty lucky: I don’t have too much debt for a 25-year old. Recently, I joined Mint.com to help keep my budget in check. I have sworn off buying clothes for the remainder of the month, but when I do, I try to stick to inexpensive, thrift-store clothes. I never let my checking account get below $1,000 and I check my balances every day. The key is: always know where your money is going. Pamela A., Atlanta, GA: Cathi C., Chattanooga, TN
