Cyber Safety Tips for Girls on Instant Messaging

Various e-mail providers offer an instant messaging service that allows members to talk to each other when they are online. This can be great fun—just ask my friends who constantly harassed me—but it also can attract unwanted communication from outside your circle of friends.

Strangers can gain access to e-mail addresses by looking through instant messaging directories that are listed by mail providers. Yahoo, America Online, and Microsoft Network all have directories. To avoid being listed in any of the directories, refer to your e-mail provider’s security section to find out how to eliminate your name from their lists, and follow these precautionary measures:

 

• Sign up for mail anonymously.
• Never use your real name.
• Don’t put any information in the “user profile” section. If it is required, be extremely general.
• Do not accept messages from anyone who is not on your “friends” list.
• Don’t accept messages that are sent to multiple recipients.
• Disable the “Web aware” feature. No one needs to know when you are on- or offline.
• If you get messages from people you do not want to hear from, put them on the “ignore” list.

What to Do if You Are Being Cyberstalked

These are a few recommendations if you find yourself a possible victim of harassment or stalking on the Internet:

• Save all evidence.
• File a report with local law enforcement.
• Report the incident to your ISP. Contact the system administrator and find out about their abuse policy.
• Report the incident to the ISP of the harasser or stalker if you know it.
• File a report with your appropriate ISP channel: Abuse@yahoo.com or postmaster@yahoo.com.
• Change your screen name.
• Change your password.

The laws against cyberstalking differ from state to state. Because of the newness of the Internet, cyberstalking, like stalking, is a relatively new subject to law enforcement. The laws against the crime of stalking have advanced quite a bit in the last ten years. If you are a victim of cyberstalking, check with local police to find out how the laws read in your state. For more direct help, contact a victims’ advocate Web site, like www.wiredpatrol.org or www.wiredkids.org. They can assist you in filing a report and help you with any questions you might have.

I Skype, forget the Plain Instant Messaging such as MSN

We all have heard of and probably used one of the many IM applications like these (data marked with an asterisk is based on information from Lehman Brothers, comScore Media Metrix):

• MSN Messenger 178.2 million users worldwide*
• Yahoo! Instant Messenger 78.8 million users worldwide*
• AOL Instant Messenger 30 million users worldwide*
• ICQ 29.2 million users worldwide*
• iChat Only for Apple Mac users; it is compatible with AIM
• n GAIM for Linux
• IRC Internet Relay Chat
• Trillian Supports ICQ, IRC, AIM,Yahoo! and MSN chats
• GoogleTalk The newest player
• Skype 50 million worldwide users as of August 2005; growing by 150,000 users daily

Skype does almost everything these other solutions do as far as instant messaging, but as we stated in the beginning, Skype has voice capability, which takes IM to another level. Skype is clearly the fastest-growing IM application and soon will be in third place in terms of users worldwide, behind Yahoo! Instant Messaging, probably by the end of 2005. With the additions coming to Skype for Video, for example, Skype will soon rival Microsoft MSN Messenger in number of users globally.

 

You do not have to run just one IM application, of course. Many of us have AIM, MSN,Yahoo! and Skype all running so that we are as connected as we can be, since everyone uses something different and you want to be able to chat with all your contacts on whatever application they have. The nice thing is that all these IM solutions play well with one another and do not cause any issues when running at the same time, so go ahead and fill up your taskbar or dashboard with IM icons.

As a matter of fact, I use Skype with MSN Messenger at the same time with my daughter and family.

AMD Versus Intel CPU War

If you are in the market to purchase a computer there are many options in existence. You can purchase a Hewlett Packard, Gateway, IBM, or a custom built system. But there is one thing that all of these computers will utilize and that is a CPU (central processing unit). The CPU is responsible for interpreting and executing instructions for the motherboard. CPU’s are key to the functioning of your new computer. CPU’s from Intel and AMD power virtually every personal computer that you can purchase today.

The argument over an AMD CPU versus an Intel CPU and which has a higher functionality is currently raging. Simply two years ago this was not even a question. Anyone would tell you that the Intel CPU won the speed and complex algorithm war with AMD CPU’s without question. Fast-forward to today and Intel is now playing catch-up to the latest in AMD technologies.

Intel played marketing games with their CPU’s pricing them high and touting the functionality that they posses as cutting edge. AMD started out as the cheap alternative CPU manufacturer for computer brands such as e-Machines and low-end Compaqs. From the beginning, AMD CPU’s were fighting an uphill battle to catch up with the technology in the Intel CPU. As the years have progressed, AMD has progressed.

AMD now clearly leads in the consumer pricing wars. AMD CPU equipped machines with similar performance specifications will cost you hundreds of dollars less than equivalent Intel CPU based machines. This cost differential is now enough to push many Intel CPU customers to the upstart AMD CPU equipped machines.

If performance is the main concern over price, the AMD CPU line was the first to include 64 bit technology. In 2003 AMD pushed the first 64 bit CPU to market. It was unstable and unreliable at first. But the underlying architecture was sound. The AMD 64 bit CPU was soon running stable and fast. The performance of this AMD CPU caught the Intel CPU team off guard.

Intel had to rush to market their EMT64 CPU to compete with this upstart challenge from AMD. The next item on the board was dual CPU power. Again, AMD one-upped the Intel CPU rule.

AMD CPU’s have the information transfer on a dual chip machine flowing through the chips. The Intel dual CPU has a bridge to the motherboard where the information that is being processed by the dual CPU’s flows for splitting.

The internal data flow in the AMD CPU’s allows them to function with lower heat generation than the dual core Intel CPU’s. As a consumer this lower heat generation allows the AMD CPU to last longer than the Intel CPU.

If you are energy conscious, then the AMD CPU will be for you as well. The AMD CPU equipped motherboard will function with approximately 275 watts of power. Compare that to a similarly equipped Intel processor at 400 watts of power, and you have major energy savings by going to the AMD CPU.

So where do the Intel CPU’s win out over the AMD CPU’s? The Intel CPU’s are able to function faster with single programs. So, if you are going to play one game and only that game on your machine, the Intel CPU equipped machine can pull and analyze the data faster. However add in chat and e-mail running in the background and the AMD CPU machine catches up.

All in all, the CPU processor war that is currently waging between AMD and Intel is great for the consumer. Each company is in the middle of a CPU processor one-upmanship and both are looking to gain market share.

Why Choose a Core 2 Duo For Your CPU In Your New High End Computer ?

It must have been difficult for Intel to watch AMD’s Athlon 64 and then the Athlon 64 X2 and FX pretty much take over the performance PC market, putting the once-untouchable chip giant into a position where its only competitive response was to cut prices. Those were dark days indeed. But now, with the release of the long-awaited codename “Conroe” — the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors — Intel looks set to start a new age of desktop domination.

Most onlookers expected Intel to take back the performance crown from AMD, but few anticipated the sheer magnitude of this victory, or the nearly flawless style with which Intel performed it. And the Core 2 Duo is just the first strike in this battle, as Intel is also planning preemptive Pentium D price drops and has revamped its single-core Pentium 4 and Celeron D lines as well.

The Conroe excels in three areas, which add up to the very definition of what a current buyer expects from a top-end desktop CPU. These factors are price, performance, and power requirements, and the 65-nanometer-process Core 2 Duo and Extreme have surpassed their AMD counterparts in each, completing the same type of triple play that AMD had turned on the Pentium 4 and Pentium D.

The question of who’s got the best performance is not even up for debate: The 2.93GHz Core 2 Extreme X6800 is the fastest desktop processor on the planet, and the 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo E6700 is not far behind. Even the next-step-down 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo E6600 is an outstanding desktop performer that can outpace AMD’s flagship Athlon 64 FX-62 in most tests.

Power and cooling requirements are also extremely low — the Core 2 Duo line offers the lowest power draw of any dual-core processor, with the Core 2 Duo Extreme not far off. Prices are also extremely competitive. In fact, it’s amazing that for such a competitive price , the Core 2 Duo E6600 can outrun AMD’s entire desktop lineup. The lower-end Core 2 Duo E6300 and E6400 models are even more affordable, although their 2MB instead of 4MB of Level 2 cache mean their relative performance isn’t as high.

Intel has accomplished this via a drastic shift away from the Pentium’s NetBurst technology. Conroe’s next-generation core performs more instructions per clock cycle (IPC), rather than having a longer and potentially less efficient pipeline that can be clocked into the stratosphere. Core 2 processors’ 2MB or 4MB of 256-bit L2 cache feature what Intel calls Advanced Smart Cache, dynamically shared between the two cores for maximum efficiency rather than chaining half the cache to each core.

With IPC levels exceeding those of AMD plus clock speeds up to 2.93GHz and a 1066MHz front-side bus, Intel has moved well ahead in the performance game despite sticking with traditional CPU and chipset architecture rather than AMD’s on-chip-memory-controller approach.

The Conroe design also reflects a need to keep power requirements and heat production down via various power-saving technologies. Since the basic architecture will be shared through all of Intel’s processor lines (except the Itanium), including upcoming mobile CPUs, this translates into very power-efficient processing.

The Core 2 Duo and Extreme processors may offer industry-leading performance, but Intel’s SpeedStep technology ensures that the chips can ramp down the multiplier and reduce clock speed to conserve battery power and/or lower core heat levels.

Moreover, new Intelligent Power Capability can go beyond slowing the CPU as a whole to turning various core functions on and off as required. These power-saving techniques don’t get in the way of outright performance, as the Conroe instantly jumps back to top speed when required.

Through the use of technical expertise obtained through advanced CPU server technology and exprertise Intel has leapfrogged once again to a combination of power , low energy use and heat production and reliability especially since with advances in CPU speed can disabling and damaging hear.

The Core 2 Duo CPUs should be a major consideration in your next high end computer purchase.
