Les services Windows Les services sont des processus qui s'exécutent au démarrage de Windows, ils offrent un certain nombre de fonctionnalités et d'assistances à votre système d'exploitation. Par défaut, votre système d'exploitation en démarre un certain nombre (51 sur le SP2) qui ne reflètent pas forcément la configuration de votre machine et son environnement ou votre façon de l'utiliser. Avoir beaucoup de fonctionnalités, c'est bien, mais beaucoup d'entre elles sont prévues pour l'utilisation d'une station de travail dans une entreprise en réseau, est-ce votre cas ? Ils ne sont pas nécessairement utiles pour l'utilisation courante d'un PC dans un environnement domestique, ils prennent de la mémoire et du temps CPU. D'autre part certains services pourraient compromettre la sécurité de votre PC. Comment fonctionnent les services ? On peut déjà résumer la situation ainsi, "tous ces services seront toujours présents et indispensables au bon fonctionnement de votre système". La fenêtre suivante va s'ouvrir :

10 places that don’t exist (but should) - travel tips and articles - L... We've all read a book or watched a movie and wished the places it transported us to were real. Some of the most enduring destinations are fictional. Well, not completely. Some were inspired by real places that resonated with their authors. So, here are my top mythical locations. 10. The home of Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and friends, the lush and charming Hundred Acre Wood is the literary soul mate of Ashdown Forest in Sussex. 9. 8. The mythical city of gold has come to represent things opulent or unattainable. 7. Rumour has it only children can visit Neverland, but if you think happy thoughts you might just find your way to the famous home of Peter Pan, Captain Hook and the Lost Boys. 6. Who wouldn’t like to travel via rabbit hole? 5. Arthurian scholar Norris J. 4. 3. There one minute, gone the next, illusive, mist-shrouded Brigadoon is how many travellers like to imagine Scotland. 2. Surrounded by desert on all sides, Frank L. 1. Runners Up: Fantasia

Futuristic mega-projects by Shimizu ::: Pink Tentacle Japanese construction firm Shimizu Corporation has developed a series of bold architectural plans for the world of tomorrow. Here is a preview of seven mega-projects that have the potential to reshape life on (and off) Earth in the coming decades. - Luna Ring In response to the ever-growing demand for energy, Shimizu has developed plans for the Luna Ring, a project that seeks to transform the Moon into a massive solar power plant. Luna Ring's 11,000-kilometer (6,800-mile) "solar belt" spans the Moon's equator Electricity collected by the Luna Ring's enormous "solar belt" is relayed to power conversion facilities located on the near side of the Moon. Luna Ring feeds power to energy-hungry Earth The solar power plant is built mainly using lunar resources. Large machinery and equipment from Earth is assembled in space and landed on the lunar surface for installation. - Green Float Lily pad-like cities at sea Each floating island features a 1,000-meter (3,300-ft) central tower. + Video

Travel Rant: On the Importance of Gratitude I’m currently settled into the lovely city of Vientiane, Laos for the Christmas holidays. I love it here – everything from the colonial architecture, the garishly colored temples, the wonderful food and the lovely, friendly Laos people. It has been a bit of an adjustment coming from Japan where you rarely see a foreigner and people move very quickly to this place that is absolutely brimming with Western tourists and where everyone takes their time. After the 25th we’ll be heading out to more rural areas of the country, in an attempt to get away from the huge number of tourists. A few nights ago we were sitting outside at a beautiful beer and food garden enjoying some cold BeerLaos. Some people carry an energy with them that is immediately negative. “Is it going to be good? I could see her plate and it was a very respectable portion of rice with vegetables, prawns and chicken. The boy, looking a bit distressed now, went to take her plate back to the kitchen.

Do It Yourself: Pac-Man Motorcycle Helmet Let's face it, every motorcyclist wishes they could cruise down the street looking like Pac-Man is eating their face. Well loyal Geekologist MMach made the dream a reality when he painted his helmet to look like the icon character. But instead of munching dots, now he munches the dotted line. But not the double solid, that would be dangerous. I'm not quite sure if this has use on your blog, but I find it quite funny, albeit a bit geeky. I like it too. Hit the jump for some before and after action. Thanks MMach, now let's go munch some asphalt. Wired Network Connection unavailable when booting Windows 7 from shut down state I was suffering from the same problem, and actually came here trying to find a solution. Each time my system rebooted two Network Connections were created at Win 7 startup (One Home Network and one Public Shared Network). I imagine there is a conflict that prevents an Internet connection. I think it may be because they share the same parameters. My network is set up through a Linksys Wireless-G broadband router. My fix was to do what you have been doing - disable, then allow troubleshooter to reestablish just one network connection.. So, I trudged on to see if I could fix this glitch. I switched my network from Home to Work, figuring the Homegroup feature might be the culprit, as Homegroup is disabled in a Work environment. I then checked the box in Set Network Location to 'treat all future networks that I connect to as public'. But I did not have a connection to the internet. I reboot a second time, and... multiple networks again. Multiple reboots, and no problems.

Deadly Leopard Seal Tries to Feed Live Penguins to Photographer (Video) :... "Bloody Hell! That's the biggest leopard seal I've ever seen!" Leopard seals are pretty scary predators, especially if you're a penguin. But they can be friendly to other leopard seals, which is something that photographer Paul Nicklen learned during one of his trips to Antarctica. He was taking underwater photos when a leopard seal started feeding him penguins, starting with live ones, which were released close to him (to see if he would catch them), and ending with half-chewed dead ones. One theory is that the leopard seal saw his reflection in the lens of the camera and thought that Nicklen was a fellow predator, but an awkward one in need of some help. The Seal Saw Him as a Useless Predator Here's is a video of Nicklen explaining what happened, with many incredible photos. For more photos by Paul Nicklen, check out his website.

"The Stranger" "A few months before I was born, my dad met a stranger who was new to our small Tennessee town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer, and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later. As I grew up I never questioned his place in our family. In my young mind, each member had a special niche. My brother, Bill, five years my senior, was my example. But the stranger was our storyteller. If I wanted to know about politics, history, or science, he knew it all. He was Iike a friend to the whole family. The stranger was an incessant talker. You see, my dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions. He made cigarettes look tasty, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished. As I look back, I believe it was the grace of God that the stranger did not influence us more. His name? -Told by Keith Currie Back to Index

The Book Surgeon (15 pieces) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon Using knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time. Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed. Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms. "My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception," he says. "The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. Dettmer is originally from Chicago, where he studied at Columbia College. Update: Read our exclusive interview with the Book Surgeon here. Brian Dettmer's website
