Commentary: Free software on Windows

Commentary: Free software on Windows 07/17/2004 08:16 AM
I haven't used Windows very often in the past seven or eight years. I declared my independence on July 4, 1998, and I've never looked back. Recently I was issued a company laptop. It came with Windows XP preinstalled, of course, since it is an IBM ThinkPad and only Microsoft operating systems are available preloaded on IBM (and HP, and Dell) desktops and laptops destined for North American consumers. I decided for various reasons to make the ThinkPad a dual-boot machine. Color me surprised at what I've learned about the Windows platform since. Who knew there is so much free -- as in speech -- software available for Windows these days?

How Do You Definitively Uninstall
Windows Software? 02/05/2005 09:16 PM

How do you completely remove an application from a Windows machine? (Warning: this post will give Mac users a gratuitous chance to gloat.)

Windows has a tendency to scatter apps to the four corners of your hard drive when you install (see thi s). Installing some apps is roughly akin to firing a shotgun through a bag of granulated sugar onto deep pile carpeting. The question then becomes, how do you impersonate a vacuum cleaner?

When I want to make sure I've really gotten rid of a Windows app, here's what I do:

1. Uninstall from Add/Remove Programs
2. Run "msconfig" and look for anything that might be related to the program that auto-starts, including Windows Services
3. Reboot
4. Search for and delete the Program Files folder
5. Search for and delete any related folders in the "Local Settings" and "Application Data" folders in my profile
6. Search for and delete any related registry keys
7. Search for and delete any related environment variables
8. Search for and delete any related Start Menu items

Anyone else want to offer suggestions?

A book to help you recover from an
attack to your Windows software 08/18/2004 04:46 AM
A fascinating new book dropped into my inbox the other day. Now before you get the wrong impression, "fascinating" in this context doesn't mean a "page-turner" or "pot-boiler" such as "The Da Vinci Code." Rather, I'm thinking of "fascinate" as meaning: "to render motionless, as with a fixed stare or by arousing terror or awe." Not terror in the Stephen King sense, though. In this book, the cast of characters is all-Windows: Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. The plot is all about identifying and solving problems. But it's not just another troubleshooting tome, not by a long shot.

IBM ThinkPad R51 Reviewed

IBM ThinkPad R51 Reviewed 09/24/2004 11:46 PM

BIOS reviews the IBM ThinkPad R51 and finds it to be an excellent value for a solid laptop, as long as you stay away from adding lots of the overpriced options from IBM's catalog (generally good advice when buying any laptop, really). For less that thousand dollars you can bring home a ThinkPad of your own, albeit one that is wholly unsuitable for gaming or other performance-intensive activities. That's okay, though - it's still a ThinkPad, one of the best laptops you can buy.

Thinkpad "piscles"

Thinkpad "piscles" 07/30/2004 06:56 PM

About two weeks ago a green 1 pixel wide line about two inches tall appeared in the bottom right corner of my Thinkpad screen. I called warranty service today, and it looks like I’ll be without the computer for 4-7 business days while they repair it. That means I’ll need to back everything up, remove confidential information, and set up my usage environment on another computer for a week or two.

It doesn’t make me feel any better than the tech support guy I spoke to at IBM had never heard of a pixel before. He asked what it was and then kept referring to them as “piscles.”

IBM Thinkpad X40 Review

IBM Thinkpad X40 Review 06/23/2004 09:11 AM

Like pretty much any other Thinkpad, the X40 ultra-portable won't win any prizes for its looks, especially since IBM continues to festoon its otherwise sleek black slabs of mobile computing goodness with jolly red, green, and blue stickers here and there, but man alive, they make a nice laptop. Riyad Emeran thinks so, too, after trying about the X40 for a couple of weeks -- he's calling the 1.2GHz Pentium M powered laptop the best ultra-portable around. And that's after he reviewed the Sony VAIO VGN-X505VP. Big words, too, considering the many relative shortcomings of the X40, like a slowish 4,200 RPM hard drive, 1,024 by 768 screen, and only 802.11b WiFi stock standard. The VAIO may be sexy, but the Thinkpad is more usable; that wins the day when it comes to laptops every time.

Stop SQL Injection Attacks Before They
Stop You 09/12/2004 11:33 PM
Armed with advanced server-side technologies like ASP.NET and powerful database servers such as Microsoft® SQL Server™, developers are able to create dynamic, data-driven Web sites with incredible ease. But the power of ASP.NET and SQL can easily be used against you by hackers mounting an all-too-common class of attack—the SQL injection attack. The basic idea behind a SQL injection attack is this: you create a Web page that allows the user to enter text into a textbox that will be used to execute a query against a database. A hacker enters a malformed SQL statement into the textbox that changes the nature of the query so that it can be used to break into, alter, or damage the back-end database. How is this possible? Let me illustrate with an example.
