Netstat Command

Who is connecting to my computer ? Why is my PC suddenly transferring so much data ? Where is it sending the data to ? Are there some zombie process or spyware running in the background that's actively making connections to the internet without my knowledge ? Why did my internet connection get so slow ?

If you are connected to the internet and any of the above questions trouble your mind, all you need to do is learn Netstat [network statistics], a hidden DOS Command that helps you keep an eye on your internet and network connections (both incoming and outgoing)

You can run the netstat command from directly from DOS command prompt window.

Father of Ctrl-Alt-Del

The time saving Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard combination was designed by David Bradley, a designer of the original IBM PC.

Bradley originally designed Control-Alt-Escape to trigger a soft reboot, but he found it was too easy to bump the left side of the keyboard and reboot the computer accidentally.

He switched the key combination to Control-Alt-Delete, a combination impossible to press with just one hand.

Bradley did not intend Control-Alt-Delete to be used by end users - it was meant to be used by people writing programs or documentation, so that they could reboot their computers without powering them down.

Folder Size for Windows

Folder Size for Windows adds a new column to the Details view in Windows Explorer. The new column shows not only the size of files, but also the size of folders. It keeps track of which folders you view, and scans them in the background so you can see complete size of all files within the folder. It's very useful for cleaning up your disk. Once you get used to having that information available, a directory listing simply looks incomplete without it!

Programming Is Like Sex

because...

• One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.
• Once you get started, you’ll only stop because you’re exhausted.
• It takes another experienced person to really appreciate what you’re doing.
• Conversely, there’s some odd people who pride themselves on their lack of experience.
• You can do it for money or for fun.
• If you spend more time doing it than watching TV, people think you’re some kind of freak.
• It’s not really an appropriate topic for dinner conversation.
• There’s not enough taught about it in public school.
• It doesn’t make any sense at all if you try to explain it in strictly clinical terms.
• Some people are just naturally good.
• But some people will never realize how bad they are, and you’re wasting your time trying to tell them.
• There are a few weirdos with bizarre practices nobody really is comfortable with.
• One little thing going wrong can ruin everything.
• It’s a great way to spend a lunch break.
• Everyone acts like they’re the first person to come up with a new technique.
• Everyone who’s done it pokes fun at those who haven’t.
• Beginners do a lot of clumsy fumbling about.
• You’ll miss it if it’s been a while.
• There’s always someone willing to write about the only right way to do things.
• It doesn’t go so well when you’re drunk, but you’re more likely to do it.
• Sometimes it’s fun to use expensive toys.
• Other people just get in the way.
