Another joke from lolisoft today...   CORPORATE DIRECTIVE NUMBER 88-570471 In order to increase the security of all company computing facilities, and to avoid the possibility of unauthorized use of these facilities, new rules are being put into effect concerning the selection of passwords. All users of computing facilities are instructed to change their passwords to conform to these rules immediately. RULES FOR THE SELECTION OF PASSWORDS: 1. A password must be at least six characters long, and must not contain two occurrences of a character in a row, or a sequence of two or more characters from the alphabet in forward or reverse order. Example: HGQQXP is an invalid password. GFEDCB is an invalid password. 2. A password may not contain two or more letters in the same position as any previous password.

We have posted a tips on how to speed up your computer . One of the tips is add more RAM. Now we will show you another tips related with RAM, it's "virtual memory". In computing, virtual memory is a memory management technique developed for multitasking kernels; this technique virtualizes a computer architecture's various hardware memory devices (such as RAM modules and disk storage drives), allowing a program to be designed as though: there is only one hardware memory device and this "virtual" device acts like a RAM module. the program has sole access to this virtual RAM module as the basis for a contiguous working memory (an address space). For the best results, Instructables user MoritzB suggests using a USB drive smaller than 4 GB for this little trick. Here are the steps to make your USB Drive works as virtual RAM: Rename your thumb drive as "RAM DRIVE" or something similar, so you can see which drive is being used as RAM. Delete all
