Loans and low taxes for the wealthy, No financing for new businesses. | TheWritersCafe.org: "The issue of the difficulty in obtaining financing for the most simple of start-ups is really a problem that is truly contributing to a stagnating economy. That is another story altogether.

Start-Ups the New American Dream- Much more difficult today when every investor either wants a guaranteed return, or some ridiculous payback and interest payment scheme"

IR FIlter: How to Make Your Own DIY Infrared Filter with Film or a Floppy Disk

IR FIlter: How to Make Your Own DIY Infrared Filter with Film or a Floppy Disk: "This needs to be unexposed and undeveloped, at least to start out with. Make sure that the film you use is large enough that, once developed, it will be large enough to cover the end of your lens. If you've truly gone all digital and don't have any film lying around, ask some friends, or suck it up and buy a whole roll from the store. You only need a single piece.
Failing that, here's a creative use of your old floppy disks, as the actual floppy part of the disk filters IR light."

Running Older Applications in a 64-bit Windows 7 Environment

The move to 64-bit computing is upon us, but what does it mean? How do you know if you are running 32-bit or 64-bit applications in Windows 7? What can you do about compatibility issues? Read on to find out the answer to these questions and more!

The Rise of 64-bit Computing

I never would have guessed that 2011 would be the year 64-bit computing took off. Even though 64-bit operating systems have been around since 1985, only now are they becoming popular.

Windows 7 blew the lid off of 64-bit computing by allowing us to keep using all of the applications we’ve used in the past (for the most part) while also allowing us to take advantage of the benefits that 64-bit computing offers. "

Ubuntu for Tablets and Phones From Canonical

Ubuntu for Tablets and Phones From Canonical: "attention to the recent developments within the operating system over the past couple of years, the announcement from Ubuntu developers Canonical that they are planning to release tablet and mobile phone versions of the popular Linux distribution should have come as no surprise.

But what could Ubuntu bring to the mobile phone and tablet market that isn't already provided by Apple, RIM and Android? Surely there is already one very strong Linux based mobile OS in the shape of Android already, perhaps negating the need for such a move?

Regardless of what you think about Canonical’s motivation for this expansion, the fact remains that they have established a full roadmap to getting the Ubuntu onto phones, tablets, set-top boxes/media centers and even TVs by 2014."

Do Solid State Drives Slow Down Over Time?

Do Solid State Drives Slow Down Over Time?: "a SSD uses no moving parts, compared to the electro-mechanical disks used by traditional hard drives. As a result, they start up more quickly, not requiring any spin-up, use less power, are quieter and more rugged, and—most importantly—are faster.

SSDs can utilize either DRAM volatile or NAND non-volatile memory, that is, memory that either requires or does not require power to retain data. For example, a popular non-volatile SSD drive is simply a flash or jump drive, which can be connected and disconnected from power—i.e., a computer—without losing its data.

So what's the catch? Unlike hard drives, SSDs require that the old data be erased before new data is written over it, instead of just writing over the old information. This doubling of wear leads to some serious issues:"
