What is the difference between KB, MB and GB in terms of Computer Memory
1.00 KB = 1,024 bytes that means 4.00 KB (4,096 bytes)
1 MB = 1048576 bytes
1 GB = 1073741824 bytes
KB, MB and GB are units of memory in computer. KB stands for kilobytes which mean 1024 bytes. MB means megabyte which means 1024 KB. And GB is gigabytes which mean 1024 MB.
More useful explaination
How Many KB In A MB?
1024 KB
Which Is Bigger A MB Or KB?
Megabyte = 1024 kilobytes
How Many KB In 1 GB?
Millions
How Many Kb Equal 1 GB?
One million
What Is 256 Mb Divided By 292 Kb?
256 Mb/(292 Kb*(1 Mb/(1024 Kb))) = 256/(292/1024) ≈ 856.2
I wanted to calculate the size of Folder/Directory using PHP so i found a class that will give me the output(the size of folder in terms of bytes )
Here is PHP class to calculate the size of a folder or directory
$path = "uploads/user_videos";
echo "Folder $path = ".filesize_r($path)." bytes";
function filesize_r($path){
if(!file_exists($path)) return 0;
if(is_file($path)) return filesize($path);
$ret = 0;
foreach(glob($path."/*") as $fn)
$ret += filesize_r($fn);
return $ret;
}

Value Name = Auto
Type = String (REG_SZ)
Data Value = 1 or 0. (Default is 1)
Value Name = Debugger
Type = String (REG_SZ)
Data Value = drwtsn32 -p %ld -e %ld -g

To enable Dr. Watson
1. At a command prompt, type the following line, and then press ENTER:
drwtsn32 -i
2. Double-click the .reg file you created in steps three and four above.

Here’s how with a step-by-step description of the initial Repair process included for newbie’s. Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process. I tested the above on Windows XP Pro with and without SP1 and also used this method in a real situation where someone could not remember their password and it worked like a charm to fix the problem. This security hole allows access to more than just user accounts. You can also access the Registry and Policy Editor, for example. And its gui access with mouse control. Of course, a Product Key will be needed to continue with the Repair after making the changes, but for anyone intent on gaining access to your system, this would be no problem. Here's how to create one if your computer is NOT on a domain: How to Log on to your PC Using Your Password Reset Disk
1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your bios set toboot from CD)
2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from cd”
3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now
5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.
6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.
It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”.
7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.
8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”
9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.
10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.
11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.
12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).
13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.
And in case you are wondering, NO, you cannot cancel install after making the changes and expect to logon with your new password.
Cancelling will just result in Setup resuming at bootup and your changes will be lost.
Ok, now that your logon problem is fixed, you should make a point to prevent it from ever happening again by creating a Password Reset Disk. This is a floppy disk you can use in the event you ever forget your log on password. It allows you to set a new password.
* Go to the Control Panel and open up User Accounts.
* Choose your account (under Pick An Account to Change) and under Related Tasks, click "Prevent a forgotten password".
* This will initiate a wizard.
* Click Next and then insert a blank formatted floppy disk into your A: drive.
* Click Next and enter your logon password in the password box.
* Click Next to begin the creation of your Password disk.
* Once completed, label and save the disk to a safe place.
Start your computer and at the logon screen, click your user name and leave the password box blank or just type in anything. This will bring up a Logon Failure box and you will then see the option to use your Password Reset disk to create a new password. Click it which will initiate the Password Reset wizard. Insert your password reset disk into your floppy drive and follow the wizard which will let you choose a new password to use for your account.
Note: If your computer is part of a domain, the procedure for creating a password disk is different.

Single CPU Computers are:
----------------------------
Single CPU computers that have 1 single CPU.
Dual Core computers that have 1 single CPU but with 2 cores in it hence performing like a double cpu computer.
Quad Core computers that have 1 single CPUs but 4 cores in it hence performing like four CPU computers.
Multiple CPU Computers are:
-------------------------------
Dual CPU computers that have 2 seperate CPUS on the same machine.
Quad CPU Computers that have 4 seperate CPUS on the same machine.
After this brief explaination, here is how the technology is shaped:
Dual Core is actually the name of a technology which refers a CPU (Central Processing Unit)'s built in a special way so that it is a single chip that consists of two cores in it. They are basically two co-processors in a single chip and sold as a single unit which is plugged into a single CPU slot. But even though dual core cpus are a single unit, it performs like a double processor since it has 2 cores (2 co-processors) inside.
Dual Core is not a name of a special brand or chip, it is a name of a chip technology. So different brands (Intel, AMD) can have their own dual core processors.
Core Duo is just INTEL's brand of dual core technology. It is a registered trademark of Intel which describes the first revision of its DUAL CORE processors. After Core Duo, Intel also released Core 2 Duo brand which is a more advanced and faster dual core chip structure.
AMD has also its own brand (Athlon 2x) for dual core techology.
"Pentium D" is again a dual core chip of Intel but it is older than Core Duo brand so Core Duo and Core 2Duo's performance are known to be better than Pentium D class computers.

Often you have loads of files to share with your friends, family and colleague. But sharing your files with a group with tools such as Dropbox is a test of your patience. To share your files with a group of users you need to upload your files to a centralized server first, then generate a shared URL and send to the recipients that entire process could be much time consuming. What if you could share files directly from your computer to a group of people without going through so many time-consuming steps. Voila! I got across a freeware that allows you to share your files easily from your computer directly using Gmail - . It simplifies the process of file sharing by treating each of the Gmail addresses as unique IP address for all the computers with g2Peer installed. Let's see how to share files on your PC using g2Peer.
To share and receive files from computer you need to get on with the steps provided belowSender Computer
Step 1: To begin with download and install g2Peer
Step 2: Launch g2Peer, go to Tools -> Config. Enter your Gmail address and password, select either POP3 or IMAP.
Step 3: Change the g2Peer status to online. For this, go to File ->Change Status ->Online
Step 4: In the Add your friends gmail address to Share Folders list followed by map the folder you would like to share.Receiver Computer
There are two different methods that you can download shared files from the sender by using g2Peer software or gmail account.To download shared files using g2Peer
Step 1: First follow the steps 1 to 3 mentioned above and have the computer configured with Gmail address with either POP3 or IMAP.
Step 2: Enter sender Gmail Address field at g2Peer interface and wait a moment until a list of shared files are displayed
Step 3: Select any displayed file, right-click on it and hit downloadTo download shared files using Gmail account
Step 1: Login to your Gmail account and go to Compose Mail. Under the To field type the sender email address. At Subject field, type ?_download and hit the send button.
Step 2: You would receive a response email with subject in the following format: {unique message ID}.{total size of spanned zip files}.{total number of spanned zip files}. For instance, !_20090622225415421.2103219.1_download_Done.
Step 3: Now open the e-mail and download the shared files via the link provided in the email content
Step 4: In case, you wanna list the shared files, send to the sender with ?_list.Compatibility
g2Peer is compatible for Windows 2000/XP/Vista and requires no special hardware.

Gmail imposes a limit on the attachment size (20 MB) and the overall storage space (7.5 GB and growing) but there’s also a daily quote on sending email.
1. If you access Gmail via POP or IMAP clients (like Microsoft Outlook), you can send an email message to a maximum of 100 people at a time. Cross the limit and your account will be disabled for a day with the error "550 5.4.5 Daily sending quota exceeded."
2. If you access Gmail from the browser, you may not address an email message to more than 500 people at a time. Try adding any more recipients in the To, CC or BCC field and your Gmail account will get probably disabled for 24-72 hours. Error: "Gmail Lockdown in Secton 4"
3. So i suggest you to Always double check email addresses of recipients beforeSending mails to users. If the e mail you have sent contains a large number of non-existent or broken addresses that bounce back on failed delivery than your account will get disabled.
4: Maximum time for checking mail account – Google will disable your Gmail account permanently if you don’t check your Gmail email for a period of nine months. All the stored messages will be deleted and you Gmail address (user name) may be released for others to grab it.
Here i am showing a small tricks on GMAIL which is not popular so read it.
Still not convinced? What's So Great About Gmail?
Here's a few things you may not have known you can do with Gmail.
1. Use Gmail Offline With Google Gears
If you have Google Gears installed, you can use Gmail on the Web just like you were using it from a desktop client. It runs in three modes, online, offline, and "flaky connection" for those times when you can't count on a good signal.If you send message while you're offline, your message will be sent while you reconnect, and you can browse through the messages you've already received.
2. Get Driving Directons From Gmail
Did someone send you an invitation with an address? Google automatically detects addresses in messages and creates a link to the right of your message asking if you would like to map it. It also asks if you'd like to track packages when you receive messages that contain them.3. Turn on Experimental Features With Gmail Labs
Gmail Labs is a feature of Gmail that allows you to experiment with features that aren't necessarily ready for wide release. If they're popular, they might eventually be incorporated into the main Gmail interface.Example tools include Mail Goggles that attempts to give you a sobriety test before you post on the weekend. Another includes a game. Gmail Labs also includes the very useful task list.
4. Add Gmail Themes
Rather than using the same Gmail background, you can use Gmail themes. Some themes even change during the day, similar to iGoogle themes. Some of them make your email harder to read, but most of them are pure fun.5. Put a Task List on Your Gmail
This feature took a long time to arrive, but it was worth the wait. It is part of Gmail Labs. You can create a task list that shows you your to-do items and lets you check them off when completed. It also allows you to assign due dates and add details, as you would expect.Your task list can stay hidden, float above the other items on your page, or open in a new window. This is very handy when you want to get something done without leaving your entire Gmail page on the screen.
6. Get Free IMAP and POP Mail
Many competing Web mail systems either don't offer offline access or charge for them. Gmail supports both POP and IMAP, which are industry standards for desktop emailclients. That means you can use Outlook, Thunderbird, or Mac Mail with your Gmail account.7. Use Google Apps to Send Gmail From Your Own Domain
I've seen plenty of people give out Gmail addresses as their professional contact, but you might still be worried that this might not look professional. There's an easy solution. If you own your own domain, you can use the free version of Google Apps to turn your domain address into your personal Gmail account.Messages going to youraddress@yourdomain.com would reach you using Gmail's servers, and your clients would never know the difference. It's also easier and cheaper than trying to maintain your own email server.
8. Video Chat From Gmail
Gmail is integrated with Google Chat and lets you send instant messages with your contacts. You can also engage in voice and video chats from both Windows-PCs and Macs. Video chat integration is not currently supported by the standalone version ofGoogle Talk.9. Check the Gmail Server Status
Gmail is reliable enough that outages make the news. That doesn't mean they don't happen. If you ever wonder if Gmail is down, you can check the Google Apps Status Dashboard. You'll find out if Gmail is running, and if it is down, you should find information about when they expect it to be online again.10. Remember the Milk
If you're not happy with Gmail's experimental task list, or you want to use a service with more features, try Remember the Milk. It's not made by Google, but it integrates with Gmail. You can still see your task list in Gmail or have reminders sent to you by email.
Gmail Labs has just launched a new feature to view multiple panes in the same Gmail window. You can setup your labels or searches as a new pane.
If you have setup multiple email accounts with Gmail, and have associated a label for each of those email accounts, this new pane feature helps you view each of the accounts new emails separately in the new panes. I really like this new feature, very useful.
To use this new feature, you have to first enable Gmail Labs for your account (if not done already), then go to Settings -> GMail Labs and enable “Multiple Inboxes” from the list of Labs options. Now you will get “Multiple Inboxes” menu on the Settings pane. You can create up to five different panes by manually entering the code for label or Gmail search options.Enable Gmail Labs New Features in Your Gmail Account
Gmail Labs have many features being tested. There are many very useful features like signature tweak, mizzle, vacation time, etc.. See the below list of currently available features. To enable in your Gmail or Google Apps for domain account, login to the mail, go to Settings –> Labs and enable or disable the features.
