How to install Skype 2 on the same computer

skype (450x298, 106Kb)
Many users prefer Skype two or three accounts: one - the personal, the second - working, and the third - yet for some purposes. Run on the computer two accounts in QIP or ICQ is very simple, but with Skype, things are more complicated, because sometimes Skype can behave capriciously. When using Skype, multiple users each with its own password. The user first login in Skype to go with the already familiar login and with another account - go with Microsoft recording, introducing e mails, on which was registered. This is the variant when you can not go to a second login through the usual panel of Skype. But it is much easier to use not one, but several Skype. Here you will learn how to install 2 (or more) Skype on one computer. How to install two Skype on one computer This method only works on the new version of Skype.Download Skype . 1. The first thing you need - is to get out of Skype, which is now installed on your computer. If the taskbar after the release of Skype Skype remains a shortcut - click on it, right-click and select "Quit Skype».

2 Next, you need to install on your desktop a new shortcut Skype (old label can either remove or leave - as you wish). To do this, go to C: \ Program Files \ Skype \ Phone \ and find the file there Skype.exe 3. Click on the file, right-click and select "Send to desktop" (create shortcut)





skype2 (700x437, 88Kb)


4 From your desktop, find the newly created shortcut, right click on it and select "Properties." Under "Object" is necessary to add  / secondary to a single label was able to open a second account. Caution Always put SPACE afterSkype.exe " !    Should be:      Skype.exe "/ Secondary











skype3 (386x534, 51Kb)


Now you will easily go down in the second Skype, clicking on the same shortcut on the desktop (to access two different Skype use one label). But every time you need to re-enter the password for the second Skype. therefore sometimes more convenient to not write / Secondary (highlighted in green) and the right to register a login and password.



/ Secondary / Username: LoginSkype / password: VashParolv Skype

For example, C: \ Program Files \ Skype \ Phone \ Skype.exe "/ secondary / username: admin / password: 12345 (and do not forget the spaces) Where exactly should be placed gaps in the figure marked in blue (all the rest - no spaces).

In this embodiment, it is more convenient to install the desktop shortcut Skype 2 and for each register your username and password. Then you will go to each of them at once as soon as click on the label label name can be changed to any. Though Skype2. First run Skype1, ie when you first install the program, and then Skype2, and Skype3 by analogy. It is important that you can login in launching any shortcut and select login or create a new entry for the third, etc. (As in the QIP). Therefore, it does not matter, there will be two or three tabs on the "desktop", if you want to run just three Skype. To remove an account from the launchpad (for example, delete user names from which you run on your computer), you need to select "START", then click "Run" and copy the window: «% APPDATA% Skype» (without the quotation marks). Next, delete the folder with the name of logins. Useful comment from Ginger-fox earlier in Skype could go - into a single program with multiple logins, alternating between them. To go with a login - you need to get out of one and go with another fit. Not so long ago - something different. Do not give your login. More precisely it is (at check in - what you are typing in the string "First Name Last Name", apparently, is what they mean login) is recognized when searching for the user, but to go with this login proved problematic. Opening Skype - it can be administered to the string "Login Skype", but Skype will not let me. Skype gives entrance, if you go through the Microsoft account, inserting into the login window - address Mehl (well, and password in the box below). Otherwise they will not let me. turns out that the old logins - work, come as usual. If checked recently - come through Microsoft. But it is not all easily. Skype may be capricious. For example, when running Skype can inhibit, ie does not issue a page in which there are windows to login or to log on with an account from Microsoft, ie as if the cargo and freight. Alternatively solution to this issue - the former Skype carry, and install a new one (you can not endure, if all goes well work). From which to install several shortcuts on your desktop. One call one login (you can drive straight and your password will immediately be opened if went with login). The second call other login - that account through Microsoft (pre-drive with a password and remember) and go just by opening this shortcut.

Well, even dogonku 10 ways how to increase the speed of Google Chrome.
When Google Chrome browser was first introduced to the public, it was an easy and nimble program that all hit speed and low system requirements. Since a few years, while Chrome has quietly grown to the 14th version. Gradually he acquires all the new features, support for all the latest web technologies and has become a real monster, the installation files that weigh more than 80 MB. Of course, for such flexibility must be paid, and Chrome was not as fast as in his youth. However, "once zhirok" can be easy to clean and speed up your browser with a few simple ways. 1. Follow your homepage Chrome can run very fast, no doubt about it. However, restoring the last session or open a heavy page when you start the browser can significantly slow start. Many applications during installation and strive to set your browser your homepage, so make sure the settings in the settings of Chrome initial group selected Open the home page, as is to be installed page fast access.

Use at least 2 extensions.

Thousands and thousands of extensions for Chrome can greatly extend its functionality to make more comfortable and beautiful. However, do not forget that each extension runs in a separate process, which consumes some, and sometimes quite significant memory and processor resources. Therefore revise its list of extensions and leave only really necessary. By the way, here you need to remember about the ability of many extensions run in the background even after you close your browser. If you have a weak computer, this feature can be disabled.

3 Use the default theme.

You can, of course, paint your browser like a Christmas tree when the soul needs a holiday. However, for everyday work better to use the default theme. All extraneous graphics, animation and even more so, start inhibit and absorb system resources.

4 Turn on the experimental features.

The developers are constantly working on improving the browser, but not all of the new features have passed the final test.You can include some of these features to speed up the program. To do this, type in the address bar about: flags and you'll get a page of the experimental features. You should pay attention to the following points:
 
  • Redefining software rendering list - allows you to use graphics acceleration, even on older video cards;
  • Processing of all pages on the GPU - includes acceleration using the GPU on all pages, not just the ones that contain the appropriate layers;
  • GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D - 2D graphics acceleration using the GPU;
  • Pre-processing of the Omnibox - background downloading of pages when you enter an address or a search query.

5: Optimize settings

Google Chrome has a powerful combination of settings, some of them may be slightly accelerate its performance. Open theSettings tab, and then click Advanced . Here you can enable the option Predict network actions to improve page load performance, as well as disable the Automatically send usage statistics to Google and crash reports. If you are an experienced user and are not afraid of phishing fakes, it is best to turn off the point Enable phishing and malware that several speed up page loading by eliminating the need to check the safety of each address.

6 Disconnect the plug-ins.

Modern Web services can use in their work a variety of technologies, such as Java, Flash, Silverlight. Support for these standards implemented in the browser plug-in the form of plug-ins. Not the fact that they will be used by you all the time, and system resources they use. Therefore, open Settings , then tab Advanced , click Content settings and find the link to disable individual modules . Experiment with its contents, leaving only what you really need.

7 Use the run with parameters.

Chrome browser can be run with special parameters, turning on or off certain features. To do this, open the properties of the shortcut on the desktop to start the program and add the desired command. A complete list of all the parameters you will findon this pageAnd we want to draw your attention to the following options:
  • -disable-dev-tools - disable developer tools;
  • -disable-java - disable Java, which is now rarely used on sites;
  • -disable-logging - disable logging;
  • -disable-metrics-system - to prohibit the collection of statistics regarding use of the browser.

8 Periodic cleaning of the cache.

Browser stores the schedule with you downloaded pages in a cache on your hard drive in order to when you visit the page it was faster loading. However, over time this cache grows so that it begins to slow down the program. Therefore, it will be useful once in a few days to clear the contents of the cache. You can do this in the settings by pressing the Delete browsing data .

9 Use the keyboard shortcuts.

Yes, take the time and learn at last hotkeys to work in Google Chrome. It really is much faster work in the program, especially since many of us spend many hours on the network.

10 Try to pre-assembly

Chrome browser is developing a tremendous pace, so the developers have implemented a number of channels updates: Stable (stable), Beta (beta), Developer (for developers) and the Canary (experimental). Perhaps the new features that you will find in the preliminary versions of the browser, to help you further accelerate its work.

VIRUS ON SKYPE

Carefully SKYPE !!! (Of mail)
 

3906024_microsoftarbeitet3dvideouebertragungfuerskype (580x367, 29Kb)
Today I decided to tell you a story 
related to the well-known program from personal experience ...

I can not imagine my life without the internet Skype! 
Direct communication! ... 
Especially valuable is that every day you can communicate with your family and friends! 
hard to overestimate the importance and necessity 
of this program!

But hackers do not waste, and realizing how Skype is loved by many, and penetrated here !!! ... alas ... it's true ... and I'll tell you what NOT to do 
to avoid being placed in the network, 
and What should you do if you are affected by this problem ... 
So there you go ...

The information I want to share with you, 
do not read on the Internet ... 
This story happened in our family.

We at that time had two laptops. 
One - my ... with lots of pictures, photos, and other information! 
Another - my daughter and grandson ... 
And it is the second computer and * got * ... 
And the reason is simple -by Skype came from a friend a link to the picture ... 
Not suspecting anything wrong, daughter clicked on it ...

And then all the friends-contacts on Skype 
automatically sent out this same link ... 
And not once! .. yes with the accompanying words 
like * See how it looks like Putin * 
or * you * like it is exactly, etc.

But if it was just spam !!! 
It was a terrible virus that settled in the system folder (I later found that file-* image *). 
But none of the programs did not find any virus or spyware and remove this file is not managed !!! 
He defended himself !!!

Removing the program Skype, and then install the new and the opening of a new user name has not produced positive results!
But the worst was later! 
This virus has turned all folders on removable drives in SHORTCUTS !!! 
That is, wanting to see the contents of the folder, 
pressing the * folder *-label, the computer did not see the contents! 
At the same time, the computer showed that This disc is almost full! (and actually) ... 
The same thing happened with the camera connected to your computer ... 
Folder with images turned into inaccessible shortcut! 
fished out the photos, fortunately, I was able to on my computer, with using one of the programs ... 
But then I had to buy new chips for the camera, and removable disk format 
(fully clean it and lose all the information available). 
And on an infected computer had to completely change the system!

When we passed this way, plus the damaged nerves and disappointment about missing files, 
plus additional material costs, 
I have firmly decided to tell you about it, 
to warn you against such ...

And even if you come from the links most-proxies, do not go to them if these links were not given to you in a live conversation with them!
Remember that in the case of penetration of the virus into your computer, it is necessary -menyat system 
-formatirovat removable drives, flash drives USB, 
-Buy new flash for photo, -videooborudovaniya (if they were at that time used)

So, be careful!

Top 10 Nations by Average Internet Speeds

http://wpcontent.answers.com/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Internet_map_1024.jpg/300px-Internet_map_1024.jpg

At the end of 2008, approximately 19 per cent Internet connections around the world were at speeds greater than 5 Mbps - a 21 per cent increase over the average global connection speed at the end of 2007.

This is according to the State of the Internet report, a quarterly study by Akamai Technologies, the US-based Internet content distribution giant. The State of the Internet report tracks average connection speeds for countries around the world.

Check out the top 10 nations in terms of average Internet connection speed.

1. South Korea
South Korea rules supreme when it comes to Internet connection speed and broadband connectivity. It is the world's No.1 with average connection speed of 15 Mbps, ten times the global average!

During 2008, South Korea's rate of quarterly change appeared to be locked into a cyclical pattern, with quarterly decreases being recorded in the first and third quarters, and increases seen in the second and fourth quarters.

For the whole year, South Korea saw a modest 7 per cent rise in their levels of high broadband adoption. South Korea is also ranked first in terms of high broadband connectivity with 69 per cent connections above 5 Mpbs.

2. Japan
Japan ranks 2nd in terms of Internet connection and high broadband connectivity. Japan ranks 2nd in terms of high broadband connectivity. About 54 per cent of the connections in Japan are above 7 Mbps.

5. Sweden
Sweden is at the fifth position with a Internet connection speed of 5.6 Mbps. Sweden ranks fourth in terms of high broadband connectivity with 39 per cent of the connection above 5Mbps.

6. Switzerland
Switzerland has bagged the sixth position with an Internet connection speed of over 5 Mbps. The country however does not figure in the top ten list of countries with high broadband connectivity.

7. Netherlands
Netherlands ranks 7th with an Internet connection speed of 4.9 Mbps. The country ranks 7th in terms of high broadband connectivity with 28 per cent of the connections above 5 Mbps.

8. Belgium
Belgium is at the 8th position with an Internet connection speed of 4.7 Mbps. The country ranks sixth in terms of high broadband connectivity with 31 per cent of the connection above 5 Mbps.

9. Slovakia
Slovakia bags the ninth position with an Internet connection speed of 4.5 Mbps. The country does not figure among the top ten in terms of high broadband connectivity.

10. Norway
Norway ranks tenth with an Internet connection speed of 4.5 Mbps. The country ranks fifth in terms of high broadband connectivity with 38 per cent of the connection above 5 Mbps.

United States is at the 17th position with an Internet connection speed of 3.9 Mbps, up approximately 8 per cent from the average connection speed for the first quarter of 2008.

In terms of Internet connection speed, China is way behind leading economies with an average Internet connection speed of 833 kbps.

8 awesome web applications you never knew existed

http://marketing.blogs.ie.edu/archives/internet.jpg
ControlC

http://www.controlc.com/

ControlC I really like. It’s one of those websites that you think it’s a stupid idea but in theory, it really works. What it does is it acts as a online storage for your copypasta. It’s all encrypted with your password if you feel that you don’t want certain things to be shared.
Why do I think its cool? The fact it’s a tool that is incredibly useful and yet it’s one of those things that nobody has ever created. especially having it web based makes it easily accessible especially if you are not near your computer.


Splashup

Splashup is brilliant. It’s like the Internet having a child with Photoshop. It features many awesome features such as being able to take any photo from the Internet orcomputer. Within the web app you can search from your photosharing services such as flickr, facebook and picasa. The features of this website go on forever. It’s brilliant if you’re on the move or maybe you just don’t want to save space by not installing Photoshop.
Feature list

* Connect to photosharing services such as Flickr, Facebook and Picasa aswell as direct from your computer or a URL.
* Ability to open up more than one image just like in Photoshop
* Ability to use Layers and Blending tools
* You can apply different filters such as Sharpen/Blur and even edit the Hue and Saturation of the image right from your browser.
* Add Layer effects just as you would in Photoshop
* There is a mass amount of Brushes already installed and ready to be used
* Support for text in all shapes and sizes
* Grab a picture from any camera connected to your computer


Roxer - The easiest way to make a web page

Roxer is one of those free websites where you choose what you want but this is with a difference. Roxer gives you the ability to freely develop and easily maintain a website with no coding required. Roxer was co-founded by someone I also respect, Jeremiah Grossman more commonly known for being the founder of WhiteHat Security. Knowing that a security expert is on the development team really means that your website is gonna be safe as they can make it, even if Jeremiah says they’re not the best of developers! What appeals most I believe is the fact that it uses drag and drop content editing. You type up the content and the simply drag it where you want it. It’s a very simple concept and is really useful for people that aren’t tech-savvy.


orangutag.com

Orangutag is for TV fanatics, myself for example. What Orangutag does is it lists most, if not all of the shows on television in which you can “tag” yourself onto. Once you’ve tagged yourself onto a certain show Orangutag creates a RSS feed which gives you the latest updates on new episodes so you’ll never miss your favourite show.


MintEmail - Disposable/Temporary Email Address

Mint e-mail is a bit like one of those websites that give you an e-mail account but it gets deleted after a certain time so you can use it to sign up to things you’re never going to use again. The difference with MintEmail is that instead of logging into a e-mail server the page is shown via AJAX in the current page. so there’s no login.

The website also generates your account name and even copies it to your clipboard ready to be pasted but if you’re that picky about your e-mail you can create a custom one as well as being able to set up a custom e-mail forwarder to your address which can last longer than 4 hours which is what you get with an account.


FILSH.net - YouTube Download kostenlos und einfach

Filsh is a bit like that old YouTubeRipper website except this one has much better functions. What I really love about this is you can edit the video to how you want it to be before downloading it such as changing the BitRate of the video and even the format. This is also has a wider range ofwebsites that can be used with the program, Pretty much anything that has a “Youtube like” flv player can be used.


File Destructor 2.0 - Hype Magazine

I love this. It’s a good idea but it can however, get in you into a bit of trouble. What FileDestructor does is let you create corrupt documents so they won’t open or will appear incorrectly rendering them inoperable. As described on their site, it’s for the lazy people who don’t wish to do their assignments for school or college and rather be off doing something else.


Send RSS feeds to your email | Home

Fed up of RSS feeds being constantly updated? Dont like how unreadable the things are? Then why not setup a SendMeRSS e-mail. It takes the feed information and sticks it into a readable format without the hassle of having to set up a reader.

``` happy birthday to the internet ```

Beer happy bday happy bday

The 'Internet' turned 40 today. It may sound strange, but today it is quite impossible to think of world without the 'World Wide Web'.
On Sept 2, 1969, around about 20 people gathered in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles and two bulky computers were used to pass test data through a 15-foot gray cable. That was the beginning of the Internet. Now, 40 years later, we take a look at the Internet timeline.
Key milestones in the development and growth of the Internet
1969: On September 2, two computers at University of California, Los Angeles, exchange meaningless data in first test of Arpanet, an experimental military network. The first connection between two sites UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California takes place on October 29, though the network crashes after the first two letters of the word "logon." UC Santa Barbara and University of Utah later join.
1970: Arpanet gets first East Coast node, at Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, Mass.
1972: Ray Tomlinson brings e-mail to the network, choosing "at" symbol as way to specify e-mail addresses belonging to other systems.
1973: Arpanet gets first international nodes, in England and Norway.
1974: Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn develop communications technique called TCP, allowing multiple networks to understand one another, creating a true Internet. Concept later splits into TCP/IP before formal adoption on January 1, 1983.
1983: Domain name system is proposed. Creation of suffixes such as ".com," ''.gov" and ".edu" comes a year later.
1988: One of the first Internet worms, Morris, cripples thousands of computers.
1989: Quantum Computer Services, now AOL, introduces America Online service for Macintosh and Apple II computers, beginning an expansion that would connect nearly 27 million Americans online by 2002.
1990: Tim Berners-Lee creates the World Wide Web while developing ways to control computers remotely at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
1993: Marc Andreessen and colleagues at University of Illinois create Mosaic, the first Web browser to combine graphics and text on a single page, opening the Web to the world with software that is easy to use.
1994: Andreessen and others on the Mosaic team form a company to develop the first commercial Web browser, Netscape, piquing the interest of Microsoft Corp. and other developers who would tap the Web's commerce potential. Two immigration lawyers introduce the world to spam, advertising their green card lottery services.
1995: Amazon.com Inc. opens its virtual doors.
1996: Passage of US law curbing pornography online. Although key provisions are later struck down as unconstitutional, one that remains protects online services from liability for their users' conduct, allowing information and misinformation to thrive.
1998: Google Inc. forms out of a project that began in Stanford dorm rooms. US government delegates oversight of domain name policies to Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN. Justice Department and 20 states sue Microsoft, accusing the maker of the ubiquitous Windows operating system of abusing its market power to thwart competition from Netscape and others.
1999: Napster popularizes music file-sharing and spawns successors that have permanently changed the recording industry. World Internet population surpasses 250 million.
2000: The dot-com boom of the 1990s becomes a bust as technology companies slide. Amazon.com, eBay and other sites are crippled in one of the first widespread uses of the denial-of-service attack, which floods a site with so much bogus traffic that legitimate users cannot visit.
2002: World Internet population surpasses 500 million.
2006: World Internet population surpasses 1 billion.
2008: World Internet population surpasses 1.5 billion. China's Internet population reaches 250 million, surpassing the United States as the world's largest. Netscape's developers pull the plug on the pioneer browser, though an offshoot, Firefox, remains strong. Major airlines intensify deployment of Internet service on flights.

Internet security company Norton Symantec has come up with a list of Top 100 Dirtiest sites, which could infect your computer with malware.

Malware is a software that can damage or compromise a computer system without the owner's consent.

Natalie Connor, spokeswoman of the anti-virus company, said that even visiting any of the named websites could expose a computer to infection and put the personal information into the hands of unwanted people.

"What people don't realise is when you type in a website, you're bringing down information on a page and with it could be malware," News.com.au quoted her as saying.

The list was compiled with the help of global data collected on Norton Safe Web, a site that analysed websites' security risks.

The infected sites had on average 18,000 threats and 40 per cent of the sites had more than 20,000 threats, while 75 per cent of websites on the list were found to be spreading malware for over six months.

According to Connor, most websites in the list had adult content with unprintable names, suggesting they contained hardcore pornography.

Some others sites include those on ice skating, deer hunting, catering and legal services.

Hackers can apparently obtain personal information using keystroke-logging software from both PCs and Mac computers.he reps said that hackers are a force to reckon with as cyber crime is increasing rapidly.

She added: "The last thing we want to do is scare people, we want to educate them so they know how to protect themselves.

"It's not about the fame any more of creating viruses and getting in the media. They're making money."

Norton released a sample of the dirtiest websites:
