Smadav 2009 Rev. 4.1

3 Bulan tidak di-revisi, ini waktu yang sangat panjang hanya untuk menunggu update Smadav. Tapi programmer Smadav akan mencoba mulai dari Rev. 4 ini akan terus meng-update Smadav paling lambat seminggu sekali. Tertundanya revisi Smadav 2009 Rev. 3 karena programmer Smadav yang absen selama sebulan dari dunia pemrograman karena harus mengikuti tes yang penting. Dan akhirnya baru bulan Mei ini programmer dapat melanjutkan kembali pengembangan Smadav secara besar-besaran. Jadi, Smadaver tidak sia-sia menunggu selama 3 bulan ini, karena Smadav 2009 Rev. 3 yang selama 3 bulan terakhir dilaporkan mempunyai beberapa bug, semuanya telah diperbaiki di Smadav 2009 Rev. 4 ini.
Tidak hanya itu, di Rev. 4 ini Smadav baru saja mempunyai satu teknologi baru di dunia antivirus, Smad-Lock, fungsinya untuk mengunci flashdisk Anda sehingga hampir tidak mungkin lagi terinfeksi virus.
Smad-Lock
Flashdisk adalah sumber utama penyebaran virus di Indonesia, sebagian besar kasus infeksi virus di Indonesia berasal dari pertukaran flashdisk dari satu komputer dengan komputer lainnya. Jadi, kalau kita mampu menjaga agar flashdisk tidak terinfeksi virus dari komputer lain maka tentunya komputer kita akan aman dan tidak akan sekali-kali terinfeksi virus. Suatu hal yang sangat fatal adalah kalau komputer kita terinfeksi virus impor (seperti conficker, sality, alman, dll). Berbeda kalau komputer terinfeksi virus lokal yang SEMUANYA mudah dibersihkan, virus impor akan sangat sulit dibersihkan, walaupun bisa dibersihkan tapi tetap saja akan meninggalkan bekas yang merusak. Jadi, SOLUSI terbaik untuk masalah ini hanya satu, yaitu pencegahan.
Hampir semua Virus Lokal & Impor sekarang memanfaatkan flashdisk sebagai sarana penyebarannya, tepatnya dengan membuat file autorun.inf yang diinfeksikan ke flashdisk. Sehingga kalau kita membuka flashdisk tersebut di komputer, virus akan berjalan secara otomatis tepat setelah kita membuka flashdisk. Smad-Lock berhasil membuat flashdisk Anda terkunci HANYA untuk file autorun.inf. Jadi, virus tidak akan mampu membuat file autorun.inf di flashdisk Anda, tentunya setelah flashdisk Anda sudah dikunci oleh Smad-Lock Smadav. Untuk mengaktifkan Smad-Lock Anda, harus mengaktifkan SmaRTP Proteksi Smadav terlebih dahulu. Smad-Lock akan aktif dan mengunci flashdisk Anda otomatis setelah Anda mencolok flashdisk. Jadi, kesimpulannya Smad-Lock telah memutuskan jalur penyebaran virus terbesar di Indonesia.Tidak hanya sampai disini, setelah Smad-Lock mengunci flashdisk Anda. Smad-Lock juga membuat satu folder di flashdisk Anda, Folder itu bernama Smad-Lock (dengan karakter segitiga bagian kiri dan kanan). Folder Smad-Lock ini adalah folder teraman dari infeksi virus. Virus hampir tidak mungkin dapat memasuki dan menginfeksi folder ini dan semua file di dalamnya. Jadi, semua file yang Anda taruh dalam folder ini SANGAT AMAN dari infeksi virus. Tetapi, Anda tidak boleh me-rename nama folder ini sedikitpun. Folder ini sebaiknya hanya diisi dengan file yang dibuka dengan program buatan microsoft, seperti office (berjenis DOC, XLS, PPT, dan semua file office sejenisnya). Tapi sebenarnya Anda juga dapat mengisi file yang bukan berjenis dokumen office, seperti EXE, ZIP, RAR, tapi sebaiknya ketika Anda membuka file tersebut jangan langsung di dalam folder ini, Anda sebaiknya memindahkan file tersebut keluar folder ini terlebih dahulu sebelum membukanya.
Virus-Virus Baru
Akhir-akhir ini virus lokal mulai kembali mengganas di Indonesia. Virus-virus yang paling banyak menyebar seperti : Nadia Saphira, Yuyun.VBS (Yuyun_Cantix), Legend of Aang. Sebenarnya semua virus ini sudah bisa dideteksi Smadav 2009 Rev. 3 dengan kecerdasan(heuristik)-nya. Tapi, Smadav 2009 Rev 4 jauh lebih kuat untuk memberihkan virus-virus ini sampai ke akar-akarnya, dan semua pembersihan hanya dilakukan sangat cepat, bahkan dalam hitungan detik saja.
Perbaikan dan Penyempurnaan
Smadav 2009 Rev. 4 telah banyak diperbaiki dan disempurnakan sehingga fitur-fiturnya semakin kuat untuk melibas virus. Inilah daftarnya :
[Fitur Tambahan]
Database dan heuristik virus Smadav mengenal lebih dari 2000 virus
Selfcheck, pengecekan file Smadav sendiri agar memberi peringatan jika file Smadav rusak atau terinfeksi virus impor.
Situs upload virus viri.4shared.com menjadi virus4.com
Ada pemberitahuan otomatis kalau flashdisk yang dicolok bersih dari virus
Cintai BAHASA, jadi sekarang Smadav sudah mencampurkan Bahasa Indonesia di Programnya
[Perbaikan]
Start-up pada Windows Vista
Error -2147467259 ketika membuka Outlook, atau beberapa program lainnya
Error 462 ketika melakukan restart explorer
Error 91 ketika shutdown windows
False Alarm pada beberapa Software : Chrome, Onet, dan beberapa software lainnya
Gagal menghapus key registry beserta isinya
Kesalahan setting Folder MyDocument menjadi default
False Alarm pada Autorun.inf di dalam CD
Gagal menampilkan otomatis file karantina
dan banyak perbaikan-perbaikan lainnya
[Penyempurnaan]
Perombakan tim baru Smadav dengan 4 divisi Webmaster, MoMod, Viser, dan Designer.
Pengubahan tampilan form about dan donate.
SmaRT-Protection semakin cepat dan ringan.
Penambahan label drive pada treeview "pemilihan folder" dalam tab scanning
Perubahan kata "Missing" menjadi "Hidden" dalam tab scanning
Mampu membersihkan total virus top baru seperti : Nadia Saphira, Yuyun.VBS, Legend ofaang, Malingsia.D, dll
Penyempurnaan metode peng-update-an program Smadav
Dan beberapa penyempurnaan lainnya
Smadav + Antivirus Lainnya
Walaupun Smadav sendiri sudah mampu mencegah hampir semua virus lokal & impor, Anda sebaiknya menggabungkan Smadav dengan antivirus lainnya. Proteksi Smadav, SmaRT-Protection didesain sempurna untuk dijalankan dengan semua proteksi Antivirus lainnya dalam satu komputer. Smadav sama sekali tidak akan menimbulkan konflik dengan antivirus lain. Namun, jika saat penginstalan Smadav diblokir oleh suatu antivirus lain, Anda harus menon-aktifkan dulu proteksi antivirus tersebut, baru kemudian menginstal Smadav, dan setelahnya Anda dapat menghidupkan lagi proteksi antivirus Anda tersebut. SmaRT-Protection sangat kecil sekali dalam penggunaan CPU dan memori. Jadi, aktifnya proteksi Smadav sama sekali tidak akan mengganggu kinerja PC, ini sangat berbeda dengan kebanyakan antivirus lainnya yang menggunakan terlalu banyak CPU & memori sehingga memperlambat kinerja PC.
Komunitas Smadav
Smadav juga sudah mempunyai halaman Facebook Smadav dan Twitter Smadav, ini dibuat supaya Smadaver dapat memantau setiap saat berita perkembangan Smadav. Hari ini Smadaver di Facebook Smadav baru saja mencapai 2000 orang, jadi kalau Anda sudah punya facebook, tunggu apa lagi, langsung saja bergabung dengan Smadaver di Facebook Smadav. Dan juga, kalau Anda ingin bertanya atau berkonsultasi lebih lanjut tentang virus, antivirus, dan cara penggunaan Smadav lebih lanjut, Anda dapat berkunjung dan bertanya di forum, biasanya dalam 1 hari pertanyaan Anda akan didiskusikan oleh beberapa tim ahli virus Smadav. Tim Smadav menunggu Anda di forum Smadav

Tips for playing online roulette

When you look at the welcome bonus and all the other benefits from joining an online casino, playing online has real advantages over the real world alternatives. Because the virtual operation does not need a major building and significant number of people to run the games, all that saving can go into financial benefits for members. If you play regularly enough and qualify for VIP membership, you can find the casino more financially generous than through the real world comps. Nevertheless, you still need to play smart to give yourself the best chance of winning more than you lose.

How can you improve your chances of winning? Well, the bad news is you have to study. Even though every spin of the wheel is an independent event and what has happened has no bearing on what will happen, you still have to know all the rules and what the odds are on each bet. This is a game of chance, but which game you decide to play and how you bet can affect the outcome.

As you know from the information contained on other parts of this site, there are two versions of the game. The difference between the two lies in the number of zeros, i.e. if the ball lands on a zero, the house takes some or all of the bets depending on the local rules. In the European version, there is only one zero. This makes the house edge 2.63%. In the American version, there are two zeros. The house edge doubles to 5.26%. Thus, if you have the choice, always play the European version because this gives the house the lowest advantage. Always check the local rules. If the house plays the en prison rule, all even money bets stay on the table for the next spin of the wheel if a zero comes up. This has the effect of further reducing the European house edge to 1.35%, i.e. this version of the game gives you the best chance of winning. Now learn how to calculate the odds and always play the bets giving you the best chance of winning and avoid the bets with the worst odds. The following is a simple guide:

  • single number bets including zero and double zero 35:1

  • two neighboring numbers 17:1

  • any three numbers in a row 11:1

  • any of the four touching numbers in a corner 8:1

  • five numbers, e.g. 1,2,3,0,00 6:1

  • any six numbers in two rows 5:1

  • any twelve numbers in a column 2:1

  • dozens 2:1

  • red/black, odd/even 1:1

Now the choice is yours. If you are playing roulette for "profit", set yourself a limit on the amount your are prepared to lose. Then play the bets with the bigger returns. If your luck is in and you hit one or two times, take your winnings. You can enjoy the rest of the evening at the casino's expense. The worst mistake anyone can make is to be seduced by the idea of a hot streak. The reality is clear. If you keep on playing online roulette, you will lose all your winnings.

Which is better, playing in a casino or playing online?

There's one game that will forever be associated with casinos - it's not called the "king of casino games" for nothing. The reason? Perhaps it's the simplicity. Someone spins the wheel, releases the ball, "Where will it fall? No-one knows!" There's the noise as the ball is thrown against the direction of spin. It rolls around the wood framing the the wheel, slowly losing momentum, edging down toward the whirling blades of the slots. Then, with a clatter, the ball is caught by the wheel. It bounces, suddenly caught up and thrown in the opposite direction. There's a hypnotic quality about how the ball moves. Everyone watching feels they can reach out with their minds and will it to land in their numbered slot.

As the wheel slows, the ball bounces up and down a few times, then finally gives in to a combination of friction and gravity, and is caught in one of the slots. It is a wonderful moment of theater, followed by the "instant" gratification of the win for those with the luck. For some, this is the perfect game of chance to play. In the real world atmosphere of a casino, the crowd always gathers round the wheels first among all the games. It has a compelling fascination. Strip away the real world and play online, the experience on your computer can never really be the same. There are good graphics and the sound effects are reasonable. All you are left with is the game itself.

Is it strong enough on its own? Almost certainly. Little changes about the game. The rules are the same, the odds and betting are identical. So should you play it? Well, so long as you know the rules and the odds, it remains a good game. The only difference is the loss of atmosphere when you play online. So you are sacrificing all the travel, inconvenience and expense by staying home and switching on your PC. You can play when you want, for as long as you want from the comfort of your own home. Think how much you might spend on a real world trip in gas, drinks at bar prices (assuming no comps), and so on. That's why you stay home. You will find bonuses and spot prizes to replace the comps. You have more money to play through as a result.

One gentle reminder - there's a myth to dispel. Many try to sell the idea of a strategy to win. In reality, the house has an edge no matter how you play roulette. Never be deceived if you have a hot streak. You might get ahead in the short term but the house will always win in the end. There are no professional players who make a living out of playing this game. You can do many things to keep your losses small, but roulette should really be for fun and excitement. If your luck is in, you can have the satisfaction of beating the house. But always be disciplined. If you have a good win, quit while you are ahead. Make your fun go a long way by coming back another time.

Gambling in the US

The legislature in Delaware has just approved a new law expanding the gambling opportunities in that state. It was almost immediately signed into law by the Democratic Governor who is looking at a major hole in the state budgets and needs additional revenue to help fill it. The new law is intended to allow table games, i.e. blackjack, craps and the "King of Casino Games", to be played at the casinos sited on the state's three horse racetracks.

As soon as the revenue splits are agreed with the casino operators - the legislature has allowed 75 days for the consultation - the final approval will be given by the legislature. The games should be in play at the racetracks early 2010. The law also helps prop up the horse racing industry which has been feeling the pinch in the current recession. The move is controversial in Maryland because their attempts to collect revenue through exploiting betting on slots will be marginalized. But tax payers in Delaware are giving their full approval. They accept this source of state revenue even though it is, in effect, a tax on gambling which, research shows, tends to have a prejudicial effect on lower income families.

As a state, this is elevating Delaware to one of the leaders in the gaming industry. As it stands, the state is one of the four, i.e. Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon, exempted from federal laws prohibiting sports betting. At a federal level, Barney Frank recently introduced a new Bill which would keep sports betting illegal online in all but the four exempted states. This means Americans can only legally bet on professional sport in one of the four states or by getting on a cruise ship that sails out into international waters off the US coast. Quite why something should be lawful in four states and a few miles offshore, but not at home when someone switches on their computer, is a mystery no-one has been willing to explain. The law is as the law is. Interestingly, New Jersey is challenging the state exemptions on the ground it is unconstitutional to allow sportsbooks in some states and not all states. If this challenge is successful, federal law will change to open the US to betting or force all gamblers out to sea or back into underground betting which, more often than not, is run by organized crime. By comparison, Australia permits all betting where there is an element of skill, and more strictly regulates games which are purely based on luck. The Australians think it takes skill to handicap football games.

So, as it stand, Delaware is set to create gambling honeypots where people can come to the racetrack to bet on the horses, use the sportsbooks and play roulette, craps or blackjack. There are no residence requirements. As with Las Vegas, people can come from anywhere in the US. This despite the mounting evidence that gambling is highly addictive and can seriously damage the health (and wealth) of the families it touches. But, as it stands, Delaware is pushing ahead enthusiastically to enhance its facilities with online roulette and draw all gamblers.

3 Langkah 'Umpan Balik' untuk Windows 7 RC

Sistem operasi teranyar Microsoft, Windows 7 versi RC yang telah dilempar ke publik tentu belum sempurna. Akan ada saja lobang-lobang yang menghantuinya.

Namun berbeda dengan versi beta sebelumnya, pada versi RC ikon 'send feedback' telah dihilangkan. Alhasil, pengguna yang ingin mengirimkan laporan beberapa bug tentu kesulitan melakukan umpan balik pada Microsoft.

Microsoft sepertinya sengaja menghilangkan 'feedback link' yang dulunya ada pada desktop tersebut. Alasannya karena Windows 7 sebentar lagi telah mencapai versi final.

Tapi jika pengguna Windows 7 versi RC menemukan beberapa bug tentu bukan berarti tak lagi bisa 'bersuara'. Hanya saja mereka sudah tak bisa mengirim laporan secara instan, seperti pada versi beta terdahulu.

Berikut adalah tiga langkah mudah cara mengirim umpan balik untuk mengomentari Windows 7 RC yang telah diramu detikINET:

1. Buka perintah 'Run' pada Windows (tekan Windows+R)

2. Ketik "rundll32.exe FeedbackTool.dll, ShowWizard”, tanpa tanda petik dan tekan Enter.

3. Sebuah jendela baru akan keluar. Ketik Windows Live ID anda, kemudian ikuti langkah selanjutnya.

Sebenarnya ada cara lain yang lebih mudah dengan mengunduh sebuah shortcut 'send feedback', kemudian pasang icon tersebut pada Superbar Windows 7 RC. Untuk mendapatkannya bisa di-download di sini. ( ash / ash )

8 Hal Penting Sebelum Memakai Windows 7 RC 1

Para Pengkritik dan pengguna Windows sepertinya bakal takjub dengan hadirnya RC 1 ini. Untuk menghindari kritik "pedas" dari para konsumen, Microsoft kini lebih berhati-hati dalam pengembangan Windows 7.

Sebelumnya pada versi beta, user diberi kesempatan untuk 'mengenal' fitur-fitur baru pada Windows 7. Kini RC 1 hadir dengan penyempurnaan dari fitur-fitur tersebut.

Dikutip detikINET dari Windows 7 Center, Rabu (06/05/2009) sebelum anda menginstal Windows 7 RC 1, ada 8 hal penting yang perlu anda ketahui:
  1. Jangan download versi RC 1 sekitar tanggal 5 Mei. Pasalnya server Microsoft kemungkinan alami lonjakan jumlah pengunduh pada awal-awal ketersediaan Windows 7 RC 1.
  2. Beberapa perubahan baru seperti:
    • Perbaikan Taskbar menjadi lebih responsif dan terasa lega.
    • Kemampuan streaming musik melalui Windows Media Player.
    • Mengaktifkan/nonaktifkan beberapa fitur Windows. Anda kini dapat 'membuang' Internet Explorer 8 dan beberapa software bawaan Windows lainnya.
    • Penambahan Driver Support, anda kini tidak perlu mencari driver baru ketika instalasi Windows 7. Windows 7 otomatis akan mengenali driver tersebut.
    • Penambahan wallpapers, themes dan sound schemes yang baru.
  3. Anda tidak perlu lagi menggunakan DVD atau bootable disk saat instalasi Windows 7. Anda dapat melakukannya dari dalam Windows itu sendiri.
  4. Instalasi upgrade dari versi Beta, kini tidak bekerja lagi pada versi RC 1.
  5. Windows 7 ini dapat berjalan dengan VMWare atau Virtual PC.
  6. Kemampuan me-repair Windows kini lebih mudah pengoperasiannya. Windows 7 dapat mendeteksi kesalahan sistem Windows, sebelum anda me-repair-nya.
  7. Windows XP lama masih bisa berjalan dalam Windows 7, melalui aplikasi Windows XP Mode (XPM). Apakah Windows XPM itu? Nantikan pembahasannya di detikINET.
  8. Anda dapat menikmati Windows 7 RC 1 ini gratis selama sekitar 1 tahun, sampai batas waktu 1 Juni 2010.

Sony Vaio P Series, Netbook Bagai Dompet

Trisno Heriyanto - detikinet

Jika beberapa vendor netbook berlomba-lomba memacu kinerja produk mereka, lain halnya dengan Sony yang melalui jajaran Vaio P series justru mengedepankan penampilan dan gaya.

Pertama kali diperkenalkan pada Consumer Electronic Show, Las Vegas, Amerika Serikat pada Januari 2009, kini Sony Vaio P series hadir di Indonesia. Sony membawa dua varian untuk Indonesia, VGN-P15G dan VGN-P13H.

Spesifikasi dari keduanyapun tidak terpaut jauh. VGN-P15G menggunakan sistem Windows Vista Home Premium, prosesor Intel Atom Z530 (1.60GHz), dan media penyimpanan solid-state drive (SSD) 64GB. Perangkat ini memiliki bobot 594 gram.

Sedangkan saudaranya, VGN-P13H menggunakan sistem Windows Vista Home Basic, prosesor Intel Atom Z520 (1.33GHz) dan hardisk 60GB. Perangkat ini memiliki bobot 620g.

Sedangan untuk Memory RAM keduanya menggunakan kapasitas 2GB. Keduanya pun memiliki dimensi layar yang sama yaitu 8" wide UWXGA. Meski kecil, layar ini sanggup menampilkan resolusi sampai dengan 1600 X 767 pixel. Ketebalan kedua perangkat ini adalah 20 mm.

Selain spesifikasi di atas Sony Vaio P series juga dilengkapi dengan konetivitas nirkabel seperti WiFi dan Bluetooth. Dengan Instant Mode yang dimilikinya, pengguna dapat menyalakan XMB (Cross Media Bar) dengan tampilan khas Sony. Hasilnya, proses boot up dan akses ke musik, video, foto, serta Web jadi lebih cepat.

Untuk pengguna yang biasa membuka banyak aplikasi Sony Vaio P series menyediakan satu tombol yang bernama 'Windows Arrangement Utility'. Tombol yang terletak di permukaan laptop depan keyboard ini berfungsi untuk mengatur jendela yang dibuka secara otomatis.

Contohnya, saat pengguna membuka dua jendela aplikasi lalu menekan 'Windows Arrangement Utility', maka tampilan akan berubah bak sebuah buku yang halamannya saling berhadapan. Tombol ini sangat berguna jika pengguna cenderung membuka banyak jendela saat menggunakan komputer.

Sony Vaio P series mempunyai empat variasi warna yaitu, Garnet Red, Olivine Green, Obsidian Black dan Crystal White. Di balik warna itu, terdapat tubuh Vaio P Series yang terbuat dari magnesium berlapis.

Untuk yang menginginkan produk ini siap-siap merogoh kocek dalam-dalam. Pasalnya Sony membandrol VGN-P15G dengan harga US$ 1.299 dan VGN-P13H seharga US$ 899, bukan harga yang murah untuk perangkat komputer berbasis Intel Atom.

Is rakeback poker for me?

The general answer is probably yes. Every player pays some rake no matter which version of poker is played and no matter how the game is played. But the choice is individual. The majority of people in the online poker rooms only play the game for fun. They are just looking to get the maximum enjoyment out of their gambling dollars. Most will not know about the rake and have no immediate interest in claiming some of it back. These players tend to be steady losers. Be grateful to them for supplying your winnings. If you only play for a few hours a week to clear the bonus, there is a short-term argument for saying the rake is irrelevant to you. But circumstances can change. What would you do if the bonuses were to dry up? Equally, if you find you are winning more often and start thinking about playing with a more professional approach, not having an agreement about the rake could leave you with a problem.

Then look at your playing style. If you like to get involved in the action, you will tend to see more pots and this will increase the rake paid. If you are a tight player preferring to pick the hand to play, you will be involved in fewer pots and pay a smaller rake. The number of pots also increases if you play short-handed. In a full ring, it is less necessary to defend blinds and so there are fewer pots. Players pay the maximum rake on low to medium sized pots. No limit players pay less, often because the poker rooms operate a "no flop, no drop" policy, i.e. no rake is charged when a player with a good hand raises pre-flop and the others fold. This limits the number of big pots per hour as against limit games where playing the odds usually results in a draw.

Even though claiming back some of the rake is usually favorable, move with care. Always read the terms and conditions of the rooms where you play before you act. Often, these schemes are not offered directly, but made available through affiliate sites to attract new players to the online casinos. Most poker rooms have rules preventing you from having more than one account. If you are caught with multiple accounts, your winnings may disappear. You could also be banned. Similarly, just as you check out the poker rooms before signing up, you should also check out the reputation of the affiliate before signing up. If the affiliate crashes and you lose your accounts, many dollars may have disappeared. With proper research, you can get good deals when you sign for new casinos and poker rooms. Check out the rules before you try to add this to your existing rooms.

Because rakeback is effectively free money, it's usually a good idea to get signed up. Even if you only make a few dollars out of it every month, you might want to turn professional next month. For now, look for the highest poker rakeback percentages from reputable affiliates and open new accounts within the service terms of the best poker rooms.

What is a Rake Race?

The rake is that drip, drip of fees deducted from every pot you play (and, sometimes, from the entry fees you pay for tournaments or other "special events"). All the regular players who get into the action in the small to medium sized pots have already signed up for a rebate. To add extra excitement to those players, some sites run races - usually over a calendar month - awarding points for the rake paid and the number of raked hands played. To let everyone see how well (or badly) they are doing, there's a real-time leaderboard with the top one hundred (or more) being paid out at the end of the playing period. How many get paid depends on each competition and you should take time to read all the terms and conditions before you sign up. Some of the top players may be grinding through fifteen or sixteen hours of play per day - i.e. only stopping to sleep (and for other necessary functions). They will tend to sign up for the races where the prize money is high. If you are a more casual player, look for low volume competitions in smaller poker rooms. Obviously, this means the prize money is also significantly lower, but you can usually find the right competition for you when you balance out the potential for some race winnings alongside the additional loyalty and VIP bonuses and privileges you will earn if your volume of play increases. Always look at the bigger picture when choosing the race - the sites through which you signed up for a rake rebate will usually have a newsletter service to keep you up-to-date on the latest races being offered.

If you are serious about trying to win, what should you do? The first step is a warning. Always make sure you keep a limit on any losses. There is no point in continuing to play for the sake of winning a race only to find you are bankrupt at the end of the month. Similarly, always stay healthy. Get enough sleep and eat regular meals. Where the race is to find those who play more hands than anyone else, you have to play on multiple tables. If the winning line is solely the amount raked, you may have to play multiple tables - it depends on the value of the pots you play for and the rake percentages and caps. If the rake you pay only rarely exceeds the cap, you will have to play multiple tables.

To give yourself the best chances of winning a rakeback race, play on multiple tables, always trying to find loose tables where people play more marginal hands. This also gives you the best chance of winning the game because you will see more flops and can play the odds better to take the pots away from the weaker players. However, this makes remembering every player's style more challenging so, when playing multiple tables, using a heads-up display of stats and hand results gives you essential information. So, with these strategies in place, watch the leaderboard and avoid burning out. Even if you do not win the race, you will still get several hundred (or thousand) dollars of poker rakeback to add to your winnings.

What is rakeback?

There are many things that make poker the best game to play - more skill, more fun - but the key advantage is that you are up against the other players around the table and, over time, the best players will win as the luck evens out and the skill takes over. Unlike blackjack and the other table games, there's no house edge to give the casino operator a guaranteed percentage. You take your winnings out of the pockets of those you beat. From the point of view of the casino, this is bad news. Here it is with its capital tied up in bricks and mortar and its outgoings burdened with a staff of dealers, and it has no edge to help cover its costs. So, it charges the players for the right to sit down and play the game. This fee is called the "rake" because the dealer physically rakes in chips at the end of each hand to cover the fee. The amount varies. Sometimes, in the more exclusive rooms, it can be as high as 10% per hand, but it's usually capped and falls to very small percentages when big bets are made.

The fact that you play online does not change the economics of the casino's operation. There may only be one small building and very few staff, but it costs money to install and maintain the software. Servers have to be paid for to host the games. So the casino must still cover its costs when offering a poker room. The advantage is that the costs of virtual operation are significantly less than the real world costs and so the rake percentage is usually lower and capped. On a $50 pot, the rake might be 5% but on a $500 pot it might be 0.5%. So high stakes or no-limit players might pay only a small rake. Whereas small pot players could pay quite high fees except that most online casinos cap the amount per hand at no more than a sum between $3 and $5. Nevertheless, the amount of the rake paid over a month might be substantial for regular players.

If you play online, the poker rakeback system has been introduced to allow the casinos to compete against each other for players. The idea is simple. Every month, your account is credited with a percentage of the total rake you have paid. That reduces the casino's margin but encourages regular players to stay loyal and to play for longer periods of time - remember online players go through more hands per hour than real world players. The refund makes a big difference and often represents the chance for the regular players to turn from losing to winning. If you only play for small pots, you are playing against the others around the table and the house fees. With the rakeback poker offering as much as a 40% refund, this can quickly mount up, e.g. if you played 1,000 pots at a capped fee of $3, you will recover $1,200 at the end of the month. This is "free money" for you to play with at the start of the next month and a very good reason for signing up for this facility.

Tips on Data Backup and Recovery

Author: 104inc.com

Data Backup

Backup is the basic of copying files or your databases so that it can be retrieved later if something goes wrong with your PC.

Data backup should be in everybody's mind, so that you don't have to use Data Recovery to get them back or have loss time.

Not only will it be harder to get data back but it will also cost you money and you may not be able to get everything back. You can backup your Data several way example ( Floppy + CD-R + External Hard drive + External USB ) these are just some few common ones that people use. What Should be Backed Up?

For most computer users, the main idea for the backup process is to copy files which are important and are not replaceable and for them to review on what they have to backup. Here are some examples:

Bank records and other financial information.

Digital photographs.

Music you purchased and downloaded from the Internet.

Personal files

Software you purchased and downloaded from the Internet.

When Should You Perform a Backup?

The perfect time to backup would be if you got new programs or a lot of files, other wise depending on your usage you can do it everyday or just every week, depending on your usage.

Where Should I store My Backup?

Well my suggestion would be to have two backups of what ever you have and store them in different locations just in case something happens to one of them.

The main point to take away from these tips is "how important" it is to backup data on your computer. Don't be the next person to lose it all if your computer system crashes. Be ready and take a little time to backup!

How to Recover Your Lost Computer Files - Inexpensively and Easily

Author: Erick Simpson

We maintain our computers similarly to how we maintain our own health - rarely do we take the time to learn about preventing health complications, and instead work to repair our health once we've become ill! We take care of our computers the same way, in that we rarely think about the safety or well-being of our data until something happens that leads to data loss or corruption.

Have you ever taken a moment to imagine what would happen if you lost some or all of your computer files? Whether you only use your computer for personal reasons; or for school or work, file or data loss can be devastating! Think of all of those family photographs, music files or class assignments! Think of the report you spent weeks working on. Some files can be replaced with time and effort, while others (particularly your photos or home videos) cannot.

Numerous reports tell us that over a third of computer users don't back up their files; and of those that actually do perform some data backup - 76% of people don't do it often enough.

Most people tend to think computer files are lost only due to catastrophic events - like tornadoes and hurricanes. Don't forget about slightly more common events, including fire, flood or computer viruses. A computer "disaster" does not necessarily have to be one from Mother Nature, either. Suppose you dropped your laptop down the stairs or spilled your coffee on the keyboard?

Losing personal files is devastating because of their sentimental value - while business owners who rely on content and files can consider the loss of data fatal to their business if they don't have a data backup plan in place.

Before Disaster Strikes

Just like many human health issues can be prevented with proper diet and care, having a complete backup plan in place can prevent disaster from occurring to your precious data. Data backup isn't as complicated or expensive as you might believe. It is far easier to back up your files to be able to restore them after something damages your computer, than it is to recover them after disaster strikes. Consider a data backup plan to be your computer's insurance policy!

Picking Up The Pieces

If you've already experienced the loss of data and you hadn't backed up your data and files, you'll need to use data recovery services to recover as much of the lost information as possible. Data recovery makes it possible to save some of the data from damaged, corrupted or failed storage devices, but it's expensive, and you may never recover 100% of the data you've lost.

Data Backup and Recovery Solution

Your best solution is to use a remote data backup system. This will backup and store your data files and information at regularly scheduled intervals to an online data store accessed via the web. Your backed-up information can then be restored to any computer if your computer's hard disk fails, or if it has been attacked by a virus, or physically damaged. Some people back up their files to CDs or flash drives - and then keep these storage devices in the same location as the computer. If there is a natural disaster, chances are the computer and the backup copies will be ruined.

Remote data backup services exist for both personal computer users and businesses of all sizes. Prices range from very reasonable to very expensive - based on how much storage you require and other factors. Prevention is the best medicine - give yourself peace of mind with a data backup insurance policy for your computer files.

Several tips for a casino player

Distractions

When you're walking upon the casino's floor to start your gambling session, holding your perspective is significant. All the miscellaneous things in casino kind of hypnotize a lot of gamblers. Casinos want it. So, you have to stay cool and keep an unclouded mind.

Walk around for five or ten minutes before you sit down to play. Survey in mind your purposes for this session while you perceive the gamblers and the games.

Selecting a table

This is a makeshift decision for gamblers in general. They are choosing the first table they approach, that has a free seat and offers a minimal bet suitable for them. But the decision in selecting the table is an essential element in your chances of becoming a winner in this session.

A good sign is if a players' majority bets more than the minimum bet. Most players enlarge their bet when they continue to win.

This activity of winning might be produced by a non-random shift. It begets cycles of winning for both sides - the dealer and the players.

Basic Strategy

So, now you're in the game. Now you've got to make a settlement on each of blackjack hands: split pairs, hit, double down, stand, or take insurance if the dealer demonstrates an ace.

These settlements are making online blackjack one of the most popular and thrilling table games in online casinos. They also give the players a certain control over what comes out of heir hands.

There exists a mathematically accurate way of making each of these settlements. Its name is Basic Strategy. With this strategy you can become a serious player. It's actually a card counter's strategy. You'll have to pay attention to the cards on the table and their low and high quantity. So, in general, before starting to play in casino, don't get distracted by such things as lights or beautiful women. Pay attention to everything, especially to your game session.

Raise your income with Basic Strategy Plus

While you might gain in during one particular day, in the long you will probably grind yourself down if you play long and often enough.

An enhanced basic blackjack strategy - also called Basic Strategy Plus - is essential for you to accelerate from being an average player to being a serious recreational player who has better chanced to win over the long periods.

To lower the small edge against you with Basic Strategy moreover, and at times turn it into a precise edge in your liking, you only must be attentive to the cards on the table and evolve some proportion sense of high cards versus low cards residual in the card batch. This is just what a card counter is doing.

Anyway, you aren't obliged spending all the hours it takes to befit an expert card counter. By "counting the table" you might get a main sense of the high against low cards proportion. It simply means that in any given hand, you look at the unprotected cards for each hand on the table, the dealer's hand included. Then quickly count of all the high cards and all the low cards. The number of both is equal.

If the number of low cards is much larger than high cards, for example in blackjack, there are chances that the batch is a little ampler in high cards. That is propitious for the player. On the contrary, if the quantity of low cards is in advantage, which means the deck is now richer in low cards. That is unfortunate for the player.

Armed with the gained information, you are able to adjust your play consequently and thus play a little more like an expert.

There are some shave calls with Basic Blackjack Strategy that might be perfected later with Basic Strategy Plus, same as other resolutions that may be done now more sagaciously.

How To Take Care Of Your Computer Hard Drive To Prevent A Crash

The computer has become one of the most important tools in our daily lives. In fact, there are so many people all over the globe who simply can't live without this technology. These people usually work and communicate through their compute that when their personal computer would malfunction, it would seem like the world have caved in on them. Technically, all computer hard drives would eventually fail us. These are just hardware that could weaken with age, constant use, mishandling and worst of all, the intrusion of computer viruses that have the power to wreck havoc on our computer systems. However, the good news is that we can actually prevent our hard drive from crashing down sooner than they should. Of course these ways and means of preventing hard crashes is not foul proof as there are always some factors, which we cannot seem to control at all. However, let us look at the bright side of things. As for viruses that are often deadly when they latch into our system, one can install effective anti virus software that detects the virus as it try to enter into our system. We can install firewalls to create a barrier and prevent intruders from entering into our systems. If we can keep out the viruses from our hard drives, our files will be safe.Now, viruses are not the only threats to our hard drives. Overheating could also cause our hard drives to malfunction and damage our files. Although in the past, over heating of the hard drive may not be very noticeable as our computers are still using lower speed, the new models of computers are processing data at very high speed that overheating of the drives in now becoming a threat. Although our present day computers are equipped with built in fans and cooling system, the speed at which our present day computer process data could raise the temperature in the hard drive to about 70 degrees F. Such temperatures could cause computer crashes as some of the parts of the computer would melt under the heat. The bad news about this situation is that is would be very difficult, in fact it is nearly impossible to recover data in hard drives that crash down due to extreme heat. To prevent your computer from over heating, you should make sure that the cooling system thereof is functioning properly. Make sure after you use your computer for sometime, you will allow the hard drives to cool off. It would also be a good idea to provide additional ventilation to your computer if you are going to use it for a prolonged period of time in a single setting. You may also get one of those monitoring software tools to alert you in case your computer have reached a critical level of heat.

Diagnosing and Solving Common Printer Problems

Any business owner or manager knows how important printers are to success. When the printers are down productivity suffers, and even the most robust business can grind to a halt. While many large companies can afford to hire professionals to troubleshoot and maintain the printers in the office, many smaller business owners find themselves wearing the hat of the printer repairman. Knowing how to diagnose and solve common printer problems can save those business owners lots of time and money, while at the same time keeping the business productive and profitable.While there are many different kinds of printers, made by a host of printer manufacturers and wearing a number of name and model badges, most printer problems break down into a short list of categories. Understanding what these breakdowns mean, and learning to diagnose the parts most likely to cause those problems, is a big part of successful printer troubleshooting.

Problem 1 Paper Jams
Paper jams are perhaps the most common of all printer complaints, and they can also be one of the most difficult to diagnose. When a printer begins suffering from persistent paper jams, one of the most important steps is to look for a trouble code on the printer. If such a code is present, refer to the manual that shipped with the printer, or the manufacturers website, for information on how to clear the jam and prevent it from recurring.Paper jams in laser printers are often the result of worn out rollers in the paper trays, so it is important to check those rollers when those jams occur on a regular basis. Most modern printers make it fairly easy for users to change the rollers, and it is a good idea for printer owners to keep a number of extra rollers on hand. When changing worn rollers, be sure to refer to the printers user manual, or instructions on the manufacturers website.

Problem 2 Ink Rubbing Off
Sometimes printer users will discover to their dismay that the ink rubs off the page easily, and this problem can easily result in a stack of unusable paper and hours of wasted time. When the ink rubs off the pages easily the most likely culprit is a defective or worn out fuser. Again, most modern laser printers make it fairly easy for printer owners to swap out a fuser cartridge, but it is still important to carefully follow the directions that came with the replacement cartridge. As with rollers, keeping an extra fuser cartridge on hand for each printer model can save a great deal of time and hassle.

Problem 3 Ink Spots and Inferior Printouts
Spots or other imperfections on the printouts can also be the result of a worn out fuser cartridge, so it is important to check the fuser when this problem occurs. If changing the fuser does not solve the problem it may be that the printer simply needs a good cleaning. Ink from the toner cartridge can often leak into the interior of the printer, causing spotting on the pages. Cleaning the printer with a specially designed cleaning cloth can often put the problem to rest.If the problem continues it may be time to change the toner cartridge. As toner cartridges age they can begin to leak and cause other problems. If spotting is seen on the pages it is important to look carefully underneath the toner cartridge for loose ink and to remove any ink that is found. If ink is continually found inside the printer the toner cartridge is probably leaking and should be replaced at once.

Problem 4 Light Printouts
This is perhaps the easiest to solve of all printer problems, and one of the most common. If the printouts begin to appear light, the most likely cause is a worn out toner cartridge and replacing the toner cartridge should resolve the issue. If the toners seem to wear out too quickly, it may be a good idea to look into changing brands or suppliers. Each toner cartridge should come with an estimated life, and it is important to monitor actual usage to ensure quality service when buying printer consumables.

6 ways in Which Microsoft Windows Vista Secures your PC

Author: Aaron Brooks

Global reach and the information highway have changed the way individuals and businesses function. Computerization, the World Wide Web, and B2B and P2P applications have added a zing to business activities. The reach has grown beyond physical confines and boundaries to embrace the world.

In the fast paced world of business what causes grave concerns in security. With the use of computers and links to cyber space corporate crime is at an all time high and

1. High level security. Most companies spend thousands of dollars in securing their business data as with the advent of the World Wide Web cyber thievery is at an all time high. Vista is designed to provide multiple layers of protection. It will protect the business from external attacks and there are ways in which crucial information and data can be protected by creating a fortress of authorized access.

2. Back ups are automated and files can be recovered easily. So, if any information is inadvertently deleted it can be recovered.

3. Since the cyber highway is where security is lax and threats exist, Vista has Windows Internet Explorer 7. This is very advanced and provides great amounts of browser security and grants privacy protection. So while your employees can browse the World Wide Web for business related purposes thieves will not gain ready access to your company systems.

4. The Windows defender program has been integrated into Vista to protect your business system from malicious soft wear.

5. Wireless networking systems are secured by Vista such that employees can connect to multiple networks simultaneously without any trouble. It has a secure wireless networking protocol and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2).

6. Internal threats are averted as Vista ensures that data is kept secure and confidential by encryption, assigning a high level of protection, and selective authorization of removing of storage devices like USB and flash memory drives.

Vista has been developed keeping in mind the threats being posed to computer users today. And, a new version of Windows Firewall has been developed to protect computers from inbound and outbound traffic threats. The UAC or user account control has been under continuous revamping and takes into consideration serious criticisms made throughout Vista development by techies on the Vista watch.

Paul Thurrott who has been monitoring Vista since the very start has written glowing reviews of Vista security features, the integrated anti-spyware product , Windows Defender, security improvements to IE7, parental controls, and more.

Security enhancements in Vista are more than welcome and users both business and individual are looking forward to the release of the final Vista package.

25 Main Windows Vista Features

Author: Aaron Brooks

The whole world is waiting with expectancy for the arrival of Windows Vista and its promised delights. And, in the meantime, techies speculate and debate on what to expect, what the hurdles will be, and more.

Microsoft has been promoting Windows Vista as having features that provide a unique experience. The system is aimed to be user friendly and dynamic. Microsoft has worked on Vista at two levels; they have updated existing windows features and introduced new features. Among the many features of Windows Vista are the following gleaned from published documentation, blogs, and releases by Microsoft.

1. The interface is said to be state of art and has been called Aero, authentic, energetic, reflective, and open. User friendly, the interface is touted to be cleaner, streamlined, and aesthetic.

2. The windows shell for Vista is expected to reach for new standards in operating systems. The organization, navigation, and search capabilities are all user friendly and fast. The tool bar and one click access are devised to speed up operations.

3. Instant search is expected to revolutionize the system. Search boxes are integral to many applications.

4. Desk top gadgets positioned on the right hand side of the screen will enable users to view sports scores, weather, and other interesting things while continuing to work on the main screen.

5. The Media Player is expected to have great new features like graphic interface, photo display, systematic organization, and compatibility with Xbox360 and other media players.

6. The internet explorer, aimed to be genx, is expected to have a new user interface, tabled browsing, search box, easy printing, tabs, zoom, and other on tab functions. The system hopes to have advanced security protection and improved web standards support.

7. State of art back up and restore functions will enable users to schedule back ups of files. The system is designed such that back ups are incremental and only new material is backed up saving space as well as making the system easy to use. The “complete PC backup” will create an image on the entire system onto the hard disk or a DVD. In case there is a break down the “complete pc backup” will recreate the entire system.

8. Outlook express has a new avatar, Windows Mail. And, according to those in the know the system is reliable and can actually filter junk mail.

9. Updates of software and security systems in the new system will be through a control panel. There will be no need for any web applications.

10. In Windows Vista parents can have greater say in what the children can use and access. This system is designed to protect kids from exposure to violence and porn.
