Reasons To Use Dial Up Internet

You may think that dial up internet is a thing of the past and no longer suitable for use. This however is a not entirely true. Dial up internet is still used by many particularly in the states. You may ask yourself ‘why?’ Below are a number of reasons why people still choose to use dial up internet rather than our more respected broadband.

Cost:

Dial up internet is in fact much cheaper than broadband internet. The reason for this being that they generally offer a pay as you go service so that users only pay for the internet that they use. If you are paying for the internet monthly and not using it for much more than browsing the web, you should really consider pay as you go dial up internet as it will save you great amounts of money.

Installation:

Dial up internet is extremely easy to install into your home. All it requires you to do is plug in your modem and install the software from a CD by following the onscreen instructions. The installation process is so simple you will have no bother doing it yourself.

Speed:

Dial up as you are well aware was very slow when it was first introduced but then again so was everything else.  With time though dial up has been worked on and has improved drastically. Today dial up comes with accelerators that connect to service providers in order to provide you with a much improved service.

Pop Ups:

Pop ups can be extremely annoying but more than that they slow down your connection speed as they keep downloading. This can freeze your computer and become very frustrating. Dial up internet providers will generally provide you with a pop up blocker to prevent this from happening.

Location:

Large internet providers are not always able to deliver their customers living in rural areas the same services as somebody in the city. It can be difficult to get high speed internet in rural areas or a connection at all due to it being out of the way, internet providers however will still charge the going rate even if you are not receiving what you expect to. Dial up internet however will work in rural areas as long as there is a phone line to connect to.

Spam:

Dial up internet providers usually include spam protection in their packages to prevent your email inbox from filling up with unwanted emails.

Viruses:

It can be costly buying antivirus software for your computer, luckily most dial up providers include the software in their packages.

Is Dial Up More Cost Effective Than Broadband?

Internet access has become a must in today’s evolving society. Internet connectivity has redefined the way people work to make it more effective and easier to buy, sell and promote your business online. It is mostly achieved by the use of one or a combination of facilitating support – technologies such as dial up, coaxial cable or fibre optic land lines, t-lines, satellite, broadband and wifi. The range of connectivity can be chosen according to its need and preference.

Dial up internet connectivity

Today, Dial up Internet connectivity is the most common type of access promoted by ISPs or Internet Service Providers. The connection is cheap and slow, but enables users to connect via a local server, that exhibits strength of a standard 56 kilobits per second modem. Basically the Dial Up Internet Access is basically access to the internet via integrated telephone lines. The user’s router or computer enables access via the attached modem, which all consists of the preferred internet service provider’s node.
The technology does not require any infrastructure, other than a telephone connection, the dial up internet connection is very useful to travellers and for access in rural or remote areas. It appeals to users on limited budgets.

Broadband Internet Connection

The term of ‘Broadband’ internet connection refers to many things in different contexts. In the world of data communication, it refers to how the data is transferred over a fiber optic cable. In the case of a DSL or Digital Subscriber Line, this service relates to the transfer of digital information over a high-bandwidth channel. This is mainly the selling point of a broadband connection because it is always available and offers high speed browsing. Broadband internet in telecommunication refers to a specially developed signalling system that integrates a wide frequency range.
The difference between the two lies in the speed of access granted. The broadband option is quite the opposite of dial up technology with regards to the time taken to access telephone connection, protocol synchronisation and data transfer. However there are people who still benefit from a dial up connection from remote regions due to the opportunity to earn profitability via lowered costs.

Provide RegEx feature for array_key_exists function

Hi,

  Here is the function which can take the $key as a RegEx/String. This function checks whether the given string($string) is a Regular Expression or not. If yes, it will use preg_match() function else it will use array_key_exists()  function.

function preg_array_key_exists($filename, $array) {
    $available = false;  
    if (array_key_exists($filename, $array))
    {
        $available = true;      
    }
    else
    {      
        $keys = array_keys($array);
        foreach ($keys as $key) {        
            if (@preg_match($key, $filename) == 1) {  
              $available = true;          
          }      
        }
    }
    return $available;
}

Get overall CPU Usage using TOP command in Linux

Here is the command which gives the total CPU usage in %

top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | \sed "s/.*, *\([0-9.]*\)%\id.*/\1/" | \awk '{print 100 - $1"%"}'


Here is another command in which, we can write the conditions to display the results. Below is the example which display the process names which exceeds by given $cpuUtil value.

$cpuUtil = 2

ps -e -o pcpu  -o args  --no-heading | sort -k 1 -r | awk '$1 > $cpuUtil { print $2 }'

You probably tried to upload too large file – phpmyadmin

Here are the solutions to solve the problem:

1. Increase the values for upload_max_filesize, memory_limit and post_max_size directories in php.ini as per requirements and restart the server

2. You can upload large sql files by changing some configuration settings in C:\xampp\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php file.

  Open the config.inc.php file and look for $cfg['UploadDir'] and update it as $cfg['UploadDir'] = "upload". If you dont find just open a config.sample.inc.php and copy that line and paste into your actuall config.inc.php file and update as i mentioned above. Finally it will be:

    $cfg['UploadDir'] = "upload"

Save the file and create upload folder under phpmyadmin folder.

   C:\xampp\apps\phpmyadmin\upload\

Then copy your all .sql files into this folder.

Now when you go to phpmyadmin import page you will see  a drop down with list of .sql files below the browse button.

You can now select this and begin the import.

If your having problem in Windows 7 and  32 bit system you need verify that your values should be under 2048M, then only it will work.

Reason:

"The largest signed integer for a 32bit operating system is -2,147,483,647 - 2,147,483,647 since 2048M = 2147483648 bytes, it was going higher than it could calculate, so it was defaulting to a negative integer. Hence the reason why the log file states -2147483648 bytes."


If you get Script timeout passed, if you want to finish import, please resubmit same file and import will resume.


add $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0; this line in config.inc.php file.
By default setting for ExecTimeLimit is 300 seconds.
