Now you can carry all your computing with you to work with any computer. Table of Contents: Digital Dave by Digital Dave Digital Dave answers your tech questions. A reader wants to run antivirus software from a flash drive; a reader's new external SATA drive isn't much faster than his old ATA drive; why would a reader's computer be shutting down at random intervals? Flash Drive Security by Michael J. Ross They're handy, portable and easy to lose. The diminutive size and light weight of flash drives makes them ideal for portable data storage, but it also makes them easily lost or stolen. Flash drive manufacturers and security software developers are creating a variety of solutions. Linux on a Flash Drive by Michael J. Ross Shrinking OS meets growing-capacity drives. (Click Banner) Linux is an operating system shrinking in size, while USB flash drives are growing in capacity. It was inevitable that a point would be reached at which Linux could be running on a simple flash drive.

  • General Information About Stuffing/Zipping and Unstuffing/Unzipping
    General Information about Stuffing/Zipping and Unstuffing/Unzipping It is typically the case when you download a larger file, it has been “stuffed”, “zipped”, or compressed. It is a little bit like taking the water out of a sponge so that it takes up less space. Certainly, the smaller the file, the easier and faster it is to send and receive it. Another reason to compress files is if you are sending several files in a single folder together. If you compress them, you can send the whole folder at once; if not, you are stuck with sending each file separately… not so bad if you are sending two or three; but a bit of an annoyance if you are sending many files at once. Winzip and StuffIt are two of the more common compression utilities. In the past, you could use the evaluation copy, but at this time, you must register and pay for the program after a free trial period. You’ll need the full version to compress your own files. In many cases, the files you download have been compressed, and can only be used when you “uncompress” them. If all you need to do is to “unstuff” or “unzip”, the utility “StuffIt Expander” (which comes with StuffIt) is still free. You can tell if a file is compressed if it comes with the file extension .zip or .sit. If you see either of those extensions after the file name, you must “uncompress” them before you can use them. StuffIt Expander can open either file type. If you have downloaded a compressed file, and need to open it (and don’t already have Winzip or StuffIt on your computer), here is one way to go about it.

  • File Compression Explained
    FileFile CompressionCompression What is File Comression? If you download many programs and files off the Internet, you’ve probably encountered ZIP files before. This compression system is a very handy invention, especially for Web users, because it lets you reduce the overall number of bits and bytes in a file so it can be transmitted faster over slower Internet connections, or take up less space on a disk. Once the file is downloaded, your computer uses either it’s built in compression utility or a third party program to expand the file back to its original size. If everything works correctly, the expanded file is identical to the original file before it was compressed. Only then can the file actually be used for it’s intended purpose. How do I know if files are compressed? The most common types of compressed files are.zip or .sit. In the past .zip was primarily used for PC and .sit were mostly used for Macs. With the arrival of newer Mac Operating Systems, the common format is leaning towards .zip which is built in. How do I compress and decompress files? There are actually many different ways to do this. We’re only going to cover the basics to get you started. Depending on which operating system you are on, this process can vary. Windows ME/XP/Vista COMPRESSING (AKA ZIPPING OR ARCHIVING) These versions of Windows have built-in zip capability so that you can compress files by using the Compressed (zipped) Folder feature. Folders compressed by using this feature are identified by a zippered folder icon.
