I prefers to use partial feed over full feed but for some time on experimental I was using full feed and not so surprisingly I found loads of blogs stealing mwolk blog content (I checked through copyscape and daily I get 5 pings atleast as these scrappers don’t even know how to stop pinging in wordpress blog)
So if your website content is getting copied this is what you should do -

Linksys firmware
Firmware is software that is stored permanently in the read-only memory. This software may determine how a device functions, and/or what functions it is capable to doing. In essence, the firmware on your Linksys router is what gives it it’s functionality.
Upgrading your firmware when it calls for it is a very important practice that not enhances the way your router functions, but may also help keep your computer safe from hack attempts and other security flaws hat may be apparent in older firmware versions.
DIMM
DIMM, an abbreviation for dual in-line memory module, is a collection of RAM (Random Access Memory) modules mounted on a printed circuit board. These are made to be used with desktop/laptop computers, servers, and workstations.
Originally, SIMM (single in-line memory modules) were predominantly in use. However, DIMM have began to replace SIMM in terms of overall usage. One difference between single and dual in-line memory modules is that SIMM use a 32 bit data path, whereas DIMM utilize a 64 bit path. Because Intel’s Pentium processors use a 64 bit bus width, it makes since to use DIMM as opposed to SIMM. Because Intel processors are so popular, DIMM can be considered the best choice for the job.
Linksys Router IP
The default Linksys router IP address is 192.168.1.1, which is set by the manufacturer before it was shipped out from the factory. This particular IP is used by some other lesser known brands, but due to Linksys’s popularity this IP can somewhat be described as their trademark IP. However, you may change it at any time via the Linksys router control panel.

Internet Explorer script error
An Internet Explorer script error occurs when a script in either Java, VB (Visual Basic), or JScript fails on the client-side in some way or another. Usually this problem is caused by the coder of the particular web page, but in some cases it has to do with your browser itself malfunctioning.
While there are numerous reasons why you may receive a script error, it may may be able to be fixed on your end. If not, bypassing the error messages (read: ignoring them) may be your best bet at stopping these pesky nuisances from popping up on your screen.
Banana Plugs
A banana plug, also known as a “banana connector”, is a single-wire connector used for wires or cables to a piece of equipment. An example of this would be to connect a cable from an amplifier into loudspeakers, or to terminate patch cords.
The plug itself is a metal pin that’s about one inch long, and may be inserted into a 4 mm socket to make contact. When pressed into the socket, has one or more springs that bulge out, which helps improve the electrical contact and also help to keep the pin in place. This is most likely where the term “banana plug/connector” came from. It may have also been from the fact that the pin itself having a bulbous shape in general, although not curved like a banana is. The opposite side of the plug has a hole that insulated wire may be soldered into. After the wire is soldered (or screwed) into place, a plastic cap (to help seal) it is then placed over it. This seal is mostly for the user’s protection.
Install ActiveX
If you are running Internet Explorer, then you shouldn’t have to worry about installing ActiveX, as it come pre-enabled with the IE browser. If you are running another browser, such as Firefox, Opera, or Netscape, you will not be able to run ActiveX controls.There are workaround, but are not suggested as they may cause more problems for you in the long run.
ActiveX is a framework designed by Microsoft, and as such is only officially designed to work with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser. The controls work similar to what types of function’s Java code may run on your machine. This may allow to application to display an animation, or perhaps gather data of some sort. Because of the added control, many types of malware, spyware, and viruses tend to use ActiveX to install themselves on your computer via what’s called a “drive-by” download. This, coupled with the lack of support causes browsers like Firefox to just silently block any ActiveX controls that may be trying to run on a web page, whether they are legitimate or not. ActiveX controls may be written in any of the following languages by programmers, which is what adds the the versatility of the control itself: Continue Reading “Install ActiveX” »
Convert AVI to WMV
This process can seem a bit confusing at first. However, there are many pieces of software out there that can help you complete this task. I will even discuss another method that doesn’t involve having to install any software at all!

CPU Temperature
Monitoring your computer’s CPU temperature is very important is making sure that it doesn’t overheat and damage critical components within the computer’s inner hardware.
The CPU temperature should be able to be monitored via a heat reading device built into your motherboard. The utility probably came with your motherboard, but if you can’t seem to lcate it, there are other ways to tell your CPU’s temperature.Try downloading a program called Core Temp. This little piece of software, depending on if it supports your processor, will display tons of useful information on what’s going on inside of your computer. Above all, it displays what the current temperature is in your computer. A master list of the processors that Core Temp supports can be found here.
ERP System
The ERP system (Enterprise resource planning) is a computer software system used in combining all of the information and processes and to have them working together in one system.
This usually involves many different pieces of software and hardware, and the ERP system relies on a database to be able to draw from in order to better organize the functions used through the system, and communicate all over a LAN (Local area network). This design helps for the business to be able to add or remove modules to their liking. Integration of this data also plays a key role in maintaining organization and work flow. In order for an ERP system to be considered as one, it must function fro more than one system. It wouldn’t be managing anything if it were just one! Some examples would be BlueERP (PHP based), Compiere (Java based), ERP5 (Python based), and SAP ERP.
