Best Booable USB

rufus icon rufus

Creating bootable USB drives the easy way

Description

Rufus

Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be be especially useful for cases where:

  • you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.)
  • you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
  • you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
  • you want to run a low-level utility

Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!

Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer orWindows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USB from ISOs (1).
A non exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is also provided at the bottom of this page (2).

Finally, please remember that once formatted, your drive is still usable as before to transfer data: it doesn't have to be dedicated for DOS or ISO installation only.

Download

From version 1.2.0, a single version of Rufus is provided, that includes FreeDOS support.

Programming: HTML 5 Demo

What is HTML5?

Like many people, you might still be wondering what HTML5 is exactly.

In the strictest sense, HTML is a text-based markup language used to format information that is often disseminated via the Internet. At a high level, HTML is a language that is used to structure and present text and images within a user interface. HTML5 is an augmentation of the current HTML 4.01 specification that adds new features that designers and developers will be able to use when creating their own content.

Some of the most notable changes in HTML5 are the addition of tags to support multimedia elements and dynamic graphics. This includes the <audio> tag for playing sound, the <video> tag for video playback, and the <canvas>tag for dynamic graphics, all within the web browser, and without reliance upon external software. The new multimedia elements enable modern browsers to provide a rich experience and dynamic graphics from the HTML code. Whether using video, image manipulation, or data visualization, support for these elements enables designers and developers to create rich and engaging experiences that (the drivers behind HTML5 hope) will work reliably across all platforms.

In addition to multimedia, HTML5 introduces the ability for SVG and MathML vector graphics to be linked to or embedded inline within HTML content. The inclusion of vector graphics into the HTML language enables designers and developers to include complex vector-based imagery without the need for images, and again without reliance upon third-party platforms. Not only does this allow for all content to be in a single HTML file, but it also gives you the capability to interact with SVG content through JavaScript. Interacting with vector content could be as simple as changing shape colors or as complex as animating shapes, adding user interaction to vector graphics, or even creating vector graphics dynamically at runtime.

HTML5 also introduces new types of form input elements. These new element types allow you to simply specify an input type and rely upon the browser and native methods to handle the input, validation, and formatting of information that is entered. The new input types include telephone number, email, URL, date, time, color, and various numerical formats and their different permutations. Each browser, device, and operating system has its own paradigm for input and user interaction. The new HTML5 form elements enable more robust data capture for HTML documents, which will stay within the native paradigm, and without the need or maintenance required for custom JavaScript libraries.

Another capability that HTML5 brings to the table is the introduction of semantic markup tags. Semantic tags allow you to structure your HTML content so that the document structure provides semantics, or meaning, to the content. This includes the <article> , <section> , <header> , <footer> , <aside> , <nav> , and <figure>tags, which are used to create self-describing HTML documents. These allow you to denote which parts of the HTML document are for navigation, which are for layout, and which pieces of the document contain meaningful or related content. The new semantic tags enable a higher level of organization within a given HTML document, and can be used to create content that is more easily read by search engines, aggregators, or other content-consuming applications, thus further facilitating device-to-device communication, consumption of content, and information dissemination.

In addition to these features, HTML5 introduces a simpler DOCTYPE tag/syntax than previous iterations of HTML. The HTML doctype has been drastically simplified, and valid HTML5 documents are essentially valid XML structures. Previous iterations of HTML were based upon SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), which requires specific Document Type Definitions (DTDs) to validate proper document structure. With HTML5, content is XML based and must follow valid XML formatting rules. Even though HTML5 content doesn't require a DTD, the simpler<!DOCTYPE HTML> must be required to ensure that browsers behave appropriately.

While technically being a markup language, HTML5 also encompasses several new DOM APIs, which are exposed by browsers in their JavaScript DOM implementation. With the new multimedia tags new APIs are available for consuming and interacting with multimedia content. This includes playback controls for audio and video, as well as an API for programmatically manipulating the visual content within a <canvas> element. In addition to multimedia, HTML5 also introduces several new JavaScript APIs that support offline applications, native drag-and-drop, user-editable content, enhanced browser history integration, and even the ability to register file types with a web application.

Although this isn't an exhaustive list of the changes coming with HTML5, it should give you an idea of what will be possible with the new standard. For full details of the latest changes regarding HTML5, be sure to check out the W3C published spec and changes from HTML4 online or browse the full HTML5 spec online.

Internet Booster: cFosSpeed

Updated on 17-10-2012 17:58 GMT

cFosSpeedcFosSpeed is a network driver, which attaches itself to existing Internet connections. It then optimizes data transfer by means of Traffic Shaping. Traffic Shaping is a method for optimizing the Internet traffic. It allows maximum speed while ensuring minimal Ping. You can use cFosSpeed with a router and/or a DSL-modem or cable-modem. You can also use cFosSpeed with other types of Internet access, ie. whenever you already have an existing Internet connection. cFosSpeed supports a wide variety of connections, like DSL, cable, ISDN, UMTS, etc.

  • Changes in 8.0.3 Build 2001:
  • Added new filters -tx-lite, -rx-lite and -lite. The idea is to detect "lite data streams", i.e. streams of data that are low volume and not bulk data in nature.
  • Fixed a problem with Youtube bulk-sending with BSTREAM protocol (which is set to "default" priority). The connection would be classified as "low". In our protocol and program logic "default" means "fall-through" and then the last -bulk rule changes the class to low. In general, this is intended, but not with BSTREAM, so we excluded it from the -bulk rule. Thanks to Ukjent for his report.

Ivideon lets you access your live video feeds and surveillance archive using Windows, Linux or Mac OS X desktop applications, mobile clients for Android, iPhone, iPod and iPad — or just a web browser.
Other Ivideon features include (but are not limited to):
— Mark your surveillance cameras on Google Maps;
— Share access to your cameras with your employees or friends;
— Embed live video feed from your camera into your blog or website;
— Utilize motion detection to record events instead of empty rooms;

— Do lots of other things no other video surveillance system can give you.

Tips for More Efficient Google Searches


  1. Either/or

    Google normally searches for pages that contain all the words you type in the search box, but if you want pages that have one term or another (or both), use the OR operator -- or use the "|" symbol (pipe symbol) to save you a keystroke. [dumb | little | man]

  2. Quotes
    If you want to search for an exact phrase, use quotes. ["dumb little man"] will only find that exact phrase. [dumb "little man"] will find pages that contain the word dumb and the exact phrase "little man".

  3. Not
    If you don't want a term or phrase, use the "-" symbol. [-dumb little man] will return pages that contain "little" and "man" but that don't contain "dumb".

  4. Similar terms
    Use the "~" symbol to return similar terms. [~dumb little man -dumb] will get you pages that contain "funny little man" and "stupid little man" but not "dumb little man".

  5. Wildcard
    The "*" symbol is a wildcard. This is useful if you're trying to find the lyrics to a song, but can't remember the exact lyrics. [can't * me love lyrics] will return the Beatles song you're looking for. It's also useful for finding stuff only in certain domains, such as
    educational information: ["dumb little man" research *.edu].

  6. Advanced search
    If you can't remember any of these operators, you can always use Google's advanced search.

  7. Definitions
    Use the "define:" operator to get a quick definition. [define:dumb] will give you a whole host of definitions from different sources, with links.

  8. Calculator
    One of the handiest uses of Google, type in a quick calculation in the search box and get an answer. It's faster than calling up your computer's calculator in most cases. Use the +, -, *, / symbols and parentheses to do a simple equation.

  9. Numrange
    This little-known feature searches for a range of numbers. For example, ["best books 2002..2007] will return lists of best books for each of the years from 2002 to 2007 (note the two periods between the two numbers).

  10. Site-specific
    Use the "site:" operator to search only within a certain website. [site:dumblittleman.com leo] will search for the term "leo" only within this blog.

  11. Backlinks
    The "link:" operator will find pages that link to a specific URL. You can use this not only for a main URL but even to a specific page. Not all links to an URL are listed, however.

  12. Vertical search
    Instead of searching for a term across all pages on the web, search within a specialized field. Google has a number of specific searches, allowing you to search within blogs, news, books, and much more:
  13. Movies
    Use the "movie:" operator to search for a movie title along with either a zip code or U.S. city and state to get a list of movie theaters in the area and show times.

  14. Music
    The "music:" operator returns content related to music only.

  15. Unit converter
    Use Google for a quick conversion, from yards to meters for example, or different currency: [12 meters in yards]

  16. Types of numbers
    Google algorithms can recognize patterns in numbers you enter, so you can search for:

    • Telephone area codes
    • Vehicle ID number (US only)
    • Federal Communications Commission (FCC) equipment numbers (US only)
    • UPC codes
    • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airplane registration number (US only)
    • Patent numbers (US only)
    • Even stock quotes (using the stock symbol) or a weather forecast regarding the next five days
  17. File types
    If you just want to search for .PDF files, or Word documents, or Excel spreadsheets, for example, use the "filetype:" operator.

  18. Location of term
    By default, Google searches for your term throughout a web page. But if you just want it to search certain locations, you can use operators such as "inurl:", "intitle:", "intext:", and "inanchor:". Those search for a term only within the URL, the title,
    the body text, and the anchor text (the text used to describe a link).

  19. Cached pages
    Looking for a version of a page the Google stores on its own servers? This can help with outdated or update pages. Use the "cached:" operator.

  20. Answer to life, the universe, and everything
    Search for that phrase, in lower case, and Google will give you the answer.
