Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit ?

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 View Comments


The right choice of Windows 7 versions depends on a number of factors. Let my FAQ be your guide ! :)
For most would-be Windows 7 users, a 64-bit version of Windows 7 is the right move. But if you don't have sufficient RAM (at least 4GB), or you rely on devices that don't have supporting 64-bit drivers, or you need to upgrade an existing 32-bit installation, 32-bit Windows 7 might be the better choice. A few editions of 64-bit Windows 7 provide a Windows XP Mode that solves some backward-compatibility problems, but it isn't a universal panacea. In speedy Q&A format, here's just what you need to know.


Question: Is my PC supported under 64-bit Windows 7?

Ans: Most PCs manufactured in the past three years (i.e. after Vista's debut) are capable of running 64-bit Windows 7. The exceptions are those that ship with low-end CPUs that don't support the AMD or Intel 64-bit extensions. Examples include Intel's Atom line of low-powered CPUs and early Intel Core CPUs, like the Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo). If you're not sure what kind of CPU is in your system, or whether the CPU supports 64-bit operation, you can use the free Intel Processor Identification Utility to find out.

Question 2: What about all of my peripherals?

Those who don't know what are Peripherals: these are devices attached to a host computer but not part of it whose primary functionality are dependent upon the host, and can therefore be considered as expanding the host's capabilities, while not forming part of the system's core architecture.

Ans: As with PC support, most peripherals manufactured in the Vista era work with 64-bit Windows 7. However, legacy hardware support is a hit-or-miss proposition. Some manufacturers -> for example, vendors of network interface cards or disk storage controllers -> are more up to date than others, thanks in part to the fact that they've been supporting 64-bit computing under Windows Server since the 2002-2003 timeframe.

Devices that don't have obvious ties to the data-center (such as custom input devices, multimedia hardware, and some printers) can be harder to integrate since they were manufactured at a time when 64-bit desktops were a rarity. Your best bet is to do a Web search to see if the manufacturer has published a 64-bit device driver and, barring that, if other users have come up with a solution.

Ubuntu 9.10 Linux Creator Calls Windows 7 'Excellent Release'

Sunday, November 8, 2009 View Comments



 But Mark Shuttleworth gives 3 reasons why latest Ubuntu may make headway against Microsoft !
 
Mark Shuttleworth, founder and CEO of Canonical Ltd., the maker of the most popular desktop Linux alternative to Microsoft Corp.'s Windows, not only claims to be "delighted" that Windows 7 is out, but calls the new operating system an "excellent release." Wow !


"It's a substantial improvement on the past. Even on netbooks, it's a credible release," Shuttleworth said on the October 26, 2009, during a conference call launching the Ubuntu 9.10 operating system.
Ubuntu 9.10's launch five days after Windows 7's is no coincidence. For the past several years, Ubuntu has carried the Linux community's flag in its valiant-ut-so-far-unsuccessful attempts to erode Windows' dominance in the desktop PC market. :(

Ubuntu and Linux generally continue to be hamstrung by the operating system's technically forbidding image, its smaller selection of applications and games, device compatibility issues, and the reluctance of PC makers to preinstall Linux, due to its lack of popularity and the desire to keep good relations with Microsoft.

But Shuttleworth sees three potential openings for Ubuntu and other desktop alternatives to Microsoft's OS. First, Microsoft is continuing to hawk Windows XP to netbook makers, despite the eight-year-old operating system being a "ghost" of a platform at this point, he said.

Second, Microsoft hopes PC makers will adopt the pricier Windows 7 Starter Edition over XP despite what Shuttleworth describes as "significant restrictions" on its capabilities compared with full-fledged versions of Windows 7.

Finally, Windows "remains a proprietary and relatively expensive piece of technology," Shuttleworth said. For those reasons, "I'm quite confident," he added after that.

Linux initially led the netbook market, though that was quickly cut short after Microsoft, as Shuttleworth put it, "clawed back" with Windows XP.

Today, Ubuntu supports 25 netbook models, with Dell Inc, being the biggest supporter. Most of those shipments go outside of the U.S. "I would love to have another stab at the U.S. market," Shuttleworth said.

Formerly code-named "Karmic Koala," Ubuntu 9.10 offers many improvements on driver compatibility, according to Shuttleworth.

"On printers, we use the same subsystem as Apple Inc.'s Macs, so I'm very confident that we've covered all the bases there," he said. On video cards and network cards, "there is a tremendous amount of energy being invested. The story is improving rapidly."

The most glaring hardware incompatibility with Ubuntu, he said, is Apple's iPhone.

Formerly a desktop-only distribution of Linux, Canonical is investing heavily in a server version of Ubuntu 9.10 with cloud features and Amazon EC2 and S3 compatibility.

"We want to deliver Ubuntu as an end-to-end solution," Shuttleworth said. "By 2010, there will be people developing for Ubuntu on ARM smartbooks as well as deploying it on Intel Xeon servers in the cloud."

While saying that Google Inc.'s Linux-based ChromeOS platform "doesn't threaten us, but energizes us to get the desktop right," Shuttleworth also took a subtle jab at Google's Web-first vision.

"We think the desktop still has a critical role in the cloud-oriented world," he said. "We'd rather deliver services to desktop apps directly rather than through a Web browser." Yeah !

Long live Windows Corp. & Karmic Koala !

Area 51 – The Restricted Area

Monday, November 2, 2009 View Comments



Area-51, what's so special about Area-51? It is a top-secret military test and development facility. It is owned and operated by the US Air Force of course. It is located within the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is 85 miles north of Las Vegas.

Area 51, was founded in "1955" to test the newly developed U-2 Spy Plane. Since then the base was constantly expanded, and used for various so called Black Project developments including the A-12 "Blackbird", the F-117 Stealth Fighter and the B-2 Stealth Bomber. More recent projects include research on Stealth Technology, various unmanned investigation and combat aircraft (UAVs and UCAVs) and possibly a rumored high speed high altitude platform known as "Aurora".

Some believe that the research at Area 51 also includes Alien technology. However, there is credible evidence to support such claims. What do you say ? Umm... Perhaps you don't know, that right now you are being observed ! Beware !


Where exactly do you think is Area-51 ?

Area 51 is exactly situated within the Nevada Test and Training Range complex in southern Nevada, about 85 miles north-west of Las Vegas. It is hidden in the mountains around Groom Lake, one of many dry lake beds in the area, near the "Extraterrestrial Highway" 375 and the town of Rachel, NV...

The location of the base, in a valley surrounded by mountain ranges that are off-limits to the public, makes it almost impossible to see from public land. This of course creates an ideal setting for all sorts of top secret activities, such as Black Projects test and development of all such things which you would never imagine.

Some Aerial Images From Google Maps of Area-15 



As always you must know that these images found on Google Maps are fake, that is, Google must alert the US army, when they are planning to snap those pictures by satellite and also some part are blurred so as to maintain privacy of these "facility".


Some videos illustrating the facility at Area-51:

Area 51: Aerial Surveillance


From your point of view, why do we call this base, Area 51 ? Have you ever thought about this ?

No, not any more. The name Area 51 originated from old maps of the Nevada Test Site from the 1950's. On these maps, the land around Groom Lake and Papoose Lake was marked as Area 51.

The Groom Lake Base was first named Watertown, after CIA Director Allen Dulles' birthplace: Watertown, New York. In June of 1958, in preparation for the Lockheed A-12 Oxcart project. A 37 kilometres by 40 kilometres  section of land around Watertown and Groom Lake was withdrawn from public land and designated for the construction of the famous Area 51. This designation was officially used until the late 1980's, during the time when the base was mostly controlled by the DoD(Department of US Defense) and CIA. After the Air Force took over in the late 1980's, the name changed to Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3, or short term AFFTC Det. 3. This is still the official designation of the Groom Lake Air Force Base till today.

However, Area 51 is still commonly used to refer to the base. Other names include Dreamland, the Ranch, Paradise Ranch, the Box and several others which myself I don't probably know !

Groom Lake, Groom Lake.. What's this ? A lake ? Let's analyse together !


Groom Lake is a salt flat in Nevada (US), located about 25 miles (40 km) south of Rachel. It has become well known because of the presence of Area 51, the words Groom Lake and Area 51 often being used synonymously. Area 51 itself is located just south of the salt flat, but the dry lake bed is also used by the Air Force, with several runways having been constructed on it. The lake measures approximately 6.0 km from north to south, and 4.8 km from east to west at its widest point.

Papoose Lake is located south west of Groom Lake.


AREA 51 RARE FOOTAGE


Papoose Lake, Another Lake?

Papoose Lake is a dry lake bed located in Lincoln County, Nevada. It is located in the Groom Lake facility known as Area 51. The base is located south west from the Groom lake facility.

The Papoose Lake has become infamous for allegedly featuring a secret base built into the mountain range known as S-4.


The Groom Lake Road which leads to the entrance

Groom Lake Road is the long dirt road which along the way is covered with powder that you can see leading south from High way. It is a well-maintained dirt road, suitable for all cars, that leads directly to the border of the restricted area around Groom Lake.

Do you thinks that you can get inside like This ?

You actually can't get in like this. Actually there is no gate to enter there. That is, in other words, no gate which can stop you but a BORDER, a limit in simple words. After traveling such long distance to get there, you will find no "Gate" but some Signs on Boards, saying that If you cross this limit Deadly force can be used, lie guns etc... Some of the signs are as below:







Don't Try to cross that line or else you can get yourself killed !

How do you know where is the "Border"?

The border of the restricted area is marked by a line of orange posts, spaced about 50 yards apart. There is no fence, and these posts are very hard to see in the desert, especially at night. If you hike in that area, make sure that you know exactly where the border is, and do not hike at night.

There are also signs on both sides of Groom Lake Road that make it very clear that it is not a good idea to go any further ("Use of deadly force authorized !").

When you get there you will notice a white Jeep Cherokee or a pickup truck of the "Cammo Dudes" sitting on a nearby hill. Also, about 3/4 up the hill to your left you will see two surveillance cameras watching you closely.

How much Close you can get to the Base?

When you go down Groom Lake Road to the Warning Signs you are as close to Area 51 as you can get on public land. However, you are still about 15 miles away, and you can not see the base from there. Not even the Guard Shack, which is about 0.85 miles down the road around a curve. All you can see is the security vehicle of the Cammos and the surveillance cameras watching your movements.

Who are Cammo Duddes ? Dudes ? Nope, Area-51 Security Officers !

The Cammo Dudes are officers of a security firm, EG & G Technical Services, Inc., guarding the outer perimeters of Area 51. They wear camouflage outfit (hence the name) as cammo, and patrol the border in white Jeep Cherokees or dark Chevy 2500 pickup trucks which newly came. They can usually be seen sitting on top of a hill near the signs at Groom Lake Road, watching traffic on the road through high-powered binoculars and don't think they are not armed, they are armed with Sniper !

The Cammos do not have legal authority outside the restricted area, and in fact have order to avoid contact with tourists that is you. However, if you cross the border for ANY reason, they will detain you and call the Lincoln County Sheriff to arrest you for that. Read the Board CAREFULLY ! Then the mandatory $650 fine is the least of your problems. Technically they can even shoot trespassers, although there are no known cases where this has been enforced.

Some Special Features of Area-51:

  1. Area-51 has the longest Run-Way in the world
  2. The S4 are such camouflaged that you don't see them from at least 100m
The Runway Of Area-51

The base has seven runways including one that now appears to be closed. The closed runway, 14R/32L, is also by far the longest with a total length of approximately 7,100 meters (23,300 ft), not including stopway. The other runways are two asphalt runways, the 14L/32R with a length of 3,650 meters (12,000 ft) and 12/30 with a length of 1,650 meters (5,400 ft), and four runways located on the salt lake. These four runways are 09L/27R and 09R/27L, which are both approximately 3,500 meters (11,450 ft), and 03L/21R and 03R/21L, which are both approximately 3,050 meters (10,000 ft). The base also has a helipad.


See the Runway across the image ? Its the longest in the world ! - 7.1 km

UFO Sightings at AREA-51 !

UFOs were seen flying from and to the Base concluding the they perform UFO Test Flights. The Scientist who work there on the UFO saucers at S-4 actually perform the test flights so as to get the Alien Technology like the Element-115.


S-4



When Bob Lazar went public with his story about UFOs at Area 51, he identified the site where they are housed as "S-4", located at Papoose Lake, about 10 miles(16 km) south of Area 51. He described the bus transfers from the main Area 51 base to S-4 and the facility itself in great detail. He claimed there were seven hangars, with concealed doors built into the side of a mountain, in which the UFOs were stored.




The Papoose Lake area is part of the Nevada Test and Training Range. It can not be seen from any of the nearby view spots. But even on new high-resolution satellite images of the area there is no evidence of a facility there, or of substantial traffic between Papoose Lake and Area 51. There is a very faint dirt road, but it does not show any signs of frequent bus traffic. There is also no sign of activity (disturbed ground etc.) around Papoose Lake.




There is a site known as "Site 4", often abbreviated as "S-4", but it is part of the electronic combat range near the Tonopah Test Range (TTR). It is over 50 miles north-west of Papoose Lake. Since Lazar seems to have had some inside information when he came up with his story it is likely that he heard about "S-4" from his contact and used the designation for his story.
