Disabling Unneeded Services

A service is a software application that runs continuously in the background while your computer is on. The Windows operating system has numerous services that run in the background that provide basic functions to the system. Network connectivity, visual support, and external device connectivity such as printer services are all examples of the types of services that the windows services provide. Each of these services that are running in the background take up system resources such as memory and CPU time. Also, during the booting of the operating system, the service has to be loaded. On most computers, there are nearly 20 services that are loaded upon startup. Of these 20 services only a handful are system critical services. All of the others can be disabled. In order to disable a service, first you will need to know more about what the most common services do. Table 8-2 will help you understand what the most common services are, what they do, and if they can be disabled.

Table 8-2 - Common Windows Services in Use

Service Name Service Use

Automatic Updates Used to download and then install updates automatically without the user going to Windows Update manually. This service is not system critical and can be disabled but unless you check for updates regularly, it is not recommended to disable this service.

Background Intelligent Transfer Service A service that transfers data in the background when the connection is not in use. One use of this service is to download updates automatically in the background. This service is not system critical but can impair other services such as automatic updates if it is disabled.

Com+ Event System Basically controls the notification of certain system events such as log on and log off. The system event notification is dependent on this service. This service is system critical.

Computer Browser Keeps track of the other computers on your network running the Microsoft Client for networking. This is what provides the list of computers when you are browsing your workgroup computer in My Network Places. This service is not system critical and can be disabled if you do not need the network browsing function.

Cryptographic Services Basically manages system security certificates as well as provides a database of signatures of key windows files. This service is not system critical but it is required to install many Microsoft programs that want to check system file signatures. It is not recommended to disable this service because doing so would not allow Windows Update to run and install new updates.

DCOM Server Process Launcher Basically is in charge of starting various other services. This service is required for RPC which is required for over 39 other services to run. Because of that, it is not a good idea to disable this one.

DHCP Client Provides support for dynamic network configuration. This service is not system critical but is needed for those that do not set their IP address manually.

Distributed Link Tracking Client Keeps track of links to files on a NTFS volume on your computer or across a network. This service is not system critical and can be disabled.

DNS Client Resolves domain names into IP addresses as well as caches lookup results. This service is not system critical but you will not be able to browse the internet without it started.

Error Reporting Service Allows users to report failures of applications directly to Microsoft so that Microsoft may fix bugs in its software if it is the culprit. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

Event Log Allows event messages to be recorded to be viewed in Event Viewer. This service is system critical and can not be disabled.

Fast User Switching Compatibility Allows users to switch to other users on the same system without logging off. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

Help and Support Used for the help and support center. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

HTTP SSL Allows the personal web server built into Windows XP (IIS 6.0) to provide secure data transfers over HTTP. This service is rarely used since most people never even setup the personal web server on Windows XP. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

Indexing Service Creates a searchable database of the items on your hard drive. This service is not system critical and can be disabled if you do not search your drive often or can wait a few extra minutes to find a file.

IPSEC Services Provides IP security for certain secure connections over IP. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

Logical Disk Manager Detects and monitors new hard disk drives. This service is not system critical but it is used when you are upgrading your hardware and installing additional storage devices or using USB storage devices. If you do not plan on using any of the items above, the service may be safely disabled.

Machine Debug Manager Provides support for program and script debugging. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled for most users.

Messenger Allows users to send text popup messages to computers on the network. This service is abused by spammers to send you advertisements. It is highly recommended that you disable this service.

Network Connections Provides support for network connectivity. This service is not system critical but it is recommended that it is not disabled.

Network Location Awareness (NLA) Provides services to computers that share your internet connection. If you do not use the internet connection feature, then you may safely disable this service since it is not a system critical service.

Plug and Play Allows your computer to detect hardware. This service is system critical and can not be disabled.

Portable Media Serial Number Service Detects the serial number of an external media device. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

Print Spooler Provides services to print. This service is not system critical but it is necessary to print from your computer.

Protected Storage Provides basic security over certain system files. This service is system critical and should not be disabled.

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Provides services for other services. This service is system critical and can not be disabled.

Remote Registry (Not included in XP Home) Allows the system registry to be connected to remotely. This service is not system critical and is recommended that it is disabled.

Secondary Logon Allows programs to be started under different accounts. This service is system critical.

Security Accounts Manager A database of local account information. This service is system critical and should not be disabled.

Security Center Monitors your system security settings to notify you if your settings are insecure. You should keep this service running unless you are confident about your computer's security. No other services depend on this service and it can be safely disabled given you have a good handle on your security.

Server Provides the ability to share files and your printer over your network. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled if you do not share file over a network.

Shell Hardware Detection Used to detect external storage devices automatically. If you do not use any external storage devices such as external hard drives or memory cards, this service can be safely disabled.

SSDP Discovery Service Looks for Universal Plug and Play drives on your network. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

System Event Notification Tracks more system events. This service is system critical and should not be disabled.

System Restore Service Keeps track of changes made to your system to make restore points. This service is not system critical but it is recommended that it is not disabled.

Task Scheduler Allows users to schedule and configure tasks. This service is not system critical and can be disabled if you do not need to schedule any tasks to run.

TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Allows the NetBIOS network protocol to run over the TCP/IP Protocol. This service is not system critical and can be disabled if you have no use for the NetBIOS protocol.

Terminal Services Allows users to connect to the computer with remote desktop. This service is not system critical but is used by the remote assistance help feature. It can be safely disabled if you do not need the remote assistance feature.

Themes This is the service that gives Windows the new look. It allows visual styles to be applied over the normal grey Windows 2000 style windows. This service is not system critical and can be disabled.

WebClient This service adds support for web-based file management for technologies such as WebDav. Most users will never need to use this service. It is not system critical and can be safely disabled.

Windows Audio Provides audio support for the operating system. This service is not system critical and can be safely disabled is you would like to give up your sound.

Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Protects your computer from intruders and malicious programs attacking your computer via your Internet connection. It also provides the ability to share your internet connection among other computers on your local network. This service is not system critical but I do not recommend that you disable it unless you have another personal firewall application installed on your computer.

Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Used to acquire data from optical devices such as a scanner or a camera. This service is not system critical and it can be safely disabled if you have no use for it.

Windows Management Instrumentation Provides system information to applications. This service is system critical and should not be disabled.

Windows Time This service is in charge of synchronizing the Windows time. If you do not need to have your time synchronized, this service can be safely disabled.

Wireless Zero Configuration Configures wireless 802.11 devices. If you do not have any wireless hardware installed, you may safely disable this service.

Workstation Allows your computer to make connections to other computers and servers. This service is not system critical but it is needed for any basic networking.

Now that you know which services can be disabled and which services are important to your system, you can safely speed up your boot by disabling the extra services using the services management tool.

Tip:
Before you begin changing your service setup, set a System Restore Point to easily restore your system to an earlier configuration. However, be careful when you restore from restore points. Any applications or files that were created after the system restore point will be deleted when reverting back to an earlier restore point.

Teknik Melibas Tikungan untuk Pemula

Apa yang membedakan orang yang baru saja bisa mengendarai motor dengan yang sudah mahir? Tentu banyak sekali. Namun demikian, salah satu yang paling sering membedakan pengedara yang satu dengan pengendara yang lain adalah kemampuan menaklukkan tikungan. Hal yang sama terutama bisa dirasakan pada saat turing. Saat peserta yang satu harus ngantri di belakang peserta yang lain. Bahkan di arena balap pun fenomena ini sering ditemukan.

Tentu banyak faktor yang bisa menyebabkan seorang pengendara memiliki kecepatan lebih lambat dari pengendara lain. Bisa perbedaan jenis dan teknologi motor, nyali pengendara, kondisi jalur yang dilalui, dst. Kita tidak mungkin membahasnya satu-persatu di sini. Namun demikian, setidaknya dari aspek riding style, teknik menaklukkan tikungan sangat berperan serta.

Bagi yang sudah bangkotan dalam dunia balap maupun turing, teknik menikung bukan masalah lagi. Belajar dari pengalaman sehari-hari mereka bisa menikung dengan "sempurna". Tikungan bisa dilibas dengan rapi. Tidak lebih dan tidak kurang. Lebih berarti nyelonong ke jalur lain yang
berisiko tabrakan. Kurang artinya terlalu mepet ke bahu jalan yang artinya bisa nyusruk. Lantas bagaimanakah teknik menikung yang sesungguhnya?

Pengertian Menikung
Secara sederhana menikung (cornering/turning) dapat didefinisikan sebagai "membelokkan kendaraan ke arah yang dituju". Bisa kiri atau kanan. Bisa akibat tikungan atau sekedar menghindari kendaraan atau benda tertentu di jalan. Namun demikian, dalam dunia otomotif ada perbedaan antara gaya menikung pada mobil dan motor.

Ketika mengendarai mobil dan ingin belok, yang perlu kita lakukan adalah memutar stir mobil ke arah mana kita akan belok. Kalau kita ingin belok kiri, maka stir mobil kita putar ke arah kiri. Sebaliknya, kalau ingin belok kanan, maka stir kita putar ke arah kanan. Memutar stir akan membuat roda depan mobil berubah arah dari semula lurus menjadi ke arah kiri atau kanan, tergantung ke arah mana stir kita putar. Perubahan arah roda depan pada gilirannya akan membuat mobil bergerak ke arah mana roda depan mengarah. Roda depan mengarah ke kiri, maka mobil akan bergerak ke kiri, roda depan mengarah ke kanan, mobil bergerak ke kanan.

Dalam setiap tikungan, mau cepat atau lambat, patah atau hairpin (tikungan panjang melingkar), mobil melakukan teknik yang sama. Namun pada motor, teknik demikian tidak sepenuhnya bisa diterapkan. Menikung pada motor setidaknya memiliki tiga gaya atau teknik dengan efek yang biasa dirasakan berbeda.

Gaya Konvensional
Gaya ini persis sama dengan gaya menikung mobil di atas. Tekniknya dilakukan dengan memutar batang stang secara bergantian kiri atau kanan tergantung mau belok arah mana. Gaya ini efektif pada kecepatan rendah atau sangat rendah. Biasanya pada saat kita ingin menikung lambat pada belokan patah dan dan sempit, gaya ini dipergunakan.

Coba perhatikan orang yang baru belajar naik motor. Badannya selalu berusaha tegak sehingga terlihat kaku. Ketika berbelok dengan lambat semakin terlihat tegak dan setir diputar habis ke arah tikungan. Jadi, teknik ini sangat basic, bahkan secara naluri telah kita lakukan pada saat awal belajar naik motor. Bagi yang sudah mahir pun gaya menikung semacam ini masih dilakukan. Namun kecepatan aman yang disarankan di sini hanya sampai 10km/jam. Lebih dari itu harus dengan teknik lain.

Body English (BE)
Bagaimana halnya dengan kecepatan di atas 10km/jam? Teknik yang digunakan adalah Body English (BE) atau Counter Steering (CS). Mengapa mengubah teknik? Karena prinsip yang terjadi pada saat itu cenderung berbeda. Pada saat menikung pada kecepatan yang lebih tinggi, yang terjadi adalah perubahan kemiringan motor menurut input (tekanan dan tarikan) yang dilakukan terhadap stang. Kemiringan itu berpengaruh pada dan dipengaruhi oleh ban yang digunakan. Berbeda dengan mobil yang memiliki empat roda, motor hanya beroda dua. Demikian pula ban yang digunakan berbeda. Mobil bersifat flat (rata), sementara motor bersifat membulat.

Prinsip yang terjadi pada saat miring dalam menikung adalah perubahan Contact Patch (CP). Semntara yang dimaksud dengan CP adalah bagian dari ban motor yang menyentuh permukaan jalan. Ketika motor berjalan lurus, bagian dari ban motor yang menyentuh permukaan ada di sebelah bawah ban di bagian tengah ban. Permukaan ban motor yang membulat pun demikian. Mempengaruhi CP sebelah kiri atau kanan, tergantung kemiringan kendaraan dan teknik yang digunakan.

Nah, gaya BE adalah gaya memiringkan tubuh agar bisa belok. Gaya ini menggunakan berat badan untuk memindahkan CP. Bob Sumitro, pakar mengenai hal ini memberi contoh berikut:

"Cari jalan yang lurus dan sepi, kemudian jalankan motor dengan kecepatan sedikitnya 30 km/jam. Setelah yakin bahwa lalu lintas sekitar sepi, pindahkan berat badan anda ke sebelah kiri atau kanan. Begitu berat badan anda pindah/bertumpu ke satu sisi, maka motor anda akan bergerak ke arah mana berat badan anda bertumpu atau anda pindahkan. Kalau berat badan anda pindahkan ke kiri motor akan belok ke kiri, sedangkan kalau berat badan anda pindah ke kanan maka motor akan bergerak ke kanan. Karena tahu mekanisme belok sepeda motor, saya yakin anda bisa menebak dengan benar kenapa hal ini bisa terjadi ... Jawaban anda tepat. Sepeda motor bergerak ke arah mana anda memindahkan berat badan karena CP dari ban motor anda pindah ke arah tersebut."

Menurut pakar satu ini, Body English ini cukup efektif untuk belok. Namun apabila kecepatan pada saat belok agak tinggi (misalnya di atas 70 atau 80 km/jam) tidaklah demikian. Apalagi jika motor yang kita pakai termasuk jenis cruiser atau touring bike dengan rake/trail yang panjang. Gaya ini kurang efektif sebab radius belok kita tidak bisa setajam tikungan, yakni dengan kata lain, gaya menikung BE bisa menimbulkan efek cenderung melebar. Nah, pada saat itulah kita butuh gaya Counter steering (CS).

Counter Steering (CS)
Sudah jelas tujuan Counter Steering (CS) di atas, namun bagaimana tekniknya? CS sering dipahami secara harfiah sebagai mengarahkan stir ke arah berlawanan. Dalam hal ini arah yang berlawanan dengan arah ke mana kita akan menuju. Ini terdengar rancu, meskipun pada dasarnya kurang lebih demikian. Karena itu, lebih baik kita memahaminya sebagai "metode memiringkan motor ke arah tikungan yang dimulai dengan menekan stang (handgrip) ke arah tikungan yang dituju (kiri atau kanan)."

Apabila ingin berbelok ke kiri, maka tangan kiri menekan stang kebawah dan dengan otomatis tangan kanan akan menstabilkan. Pada saat yang sama motor akan miring, namun badan cenderung tegak sebagai counter-kestabilan motor. Dengan demikian, teknik ini juga memindahkan CP, namun bukan dengan berat badan, tapi lebih banyak dengan permainan tekanan tangan pada stang. Untuk lebih jelasnya mari coba latihan ala Bob Sumitro berikut:

"Cari jalan yang sepi dan agak lebar, kalau bisa jalan yang lurus. Sesampai di sana, kendarai sepeda motor anda sampai mencapai kecepatan 40 km/jam dan ambil posisi agak di tengah jalan. Ketika jarum speedo mencapai angka 40, dan setelah anda pastikan bahwa lalu lintas sepi serta tidak ada kendaran lain di sekitar anda, dorong stang kiri motor, sedikit saja dan perlahan-lahan. Jangan heran kalau begitu stang motor kita dorong ke kiri, maka motor akan bergerak ke kiri. Sekarang coba lagi lakukan hal yang sama, tapi kali ini dorong stang kanan, maka motor akan bergerak ke arah kanan." Bagi kita yang kebanyakan menikung dengan BE, mendengar dan mempelajari CS seperti sesuatu yang baru. Mungkin karena selama ini kita membawa motor sesuai kebiasaan, menikung dan badan ikut membantu sudut tikungan. Bahkan banyak pula dari kita sangat terpengaruh dengan gaya pembalap melibas tikungan dengan memindahkan seluruh tubuh ke sisi dalam kendaraan di mana tikungan mengarah. Sementara tidak demikian halnya dengan CS yang menjadikan tubuh sebagai penyeimbang. Padahal sebenarnya hampir semua orang pernah menggunakan teknik ini.

Ingat ketika masih kecil pake BMX atau waktu masih belajar-belajarnya naik motor? Biasanya kita meliuk-liukkan kendaraan dengan menekan-nekan setang kiri dan kanan. Alhasil seperti gaya Erik Esterada dalam film Chips. Namun demikian, mengapa akhirnya jarang kita gunakan? Karena makin lama kita makin senang dengan gaya belok dengan stang (pada saat tikungan lambat dan kecepatan lambat) atau dengan gaya BE sambil miringkan tubuh kiri dan kanan. Apa soal, kita miskonsepsi bahwa itu lebih nyaman, gaya, & safety.

Kenyataannya, meski sudah sangat jarang kita gunakan, CS sangat menarik (fun), efektif, dan aman. Soal fun silahkan coba sendiri. Soal efektif karena gaya nikung CS benar menikung sesuai steering input (daya tekan kita) pada stang. Artinya a) badan tidak terlalu capai karena tidak perlu terlalu ikut doyong kiri kanan, b) menikung dengan CS memungkinkan posisi badan tetap lurus sesuai kemiringan motor atau agak lebih tegak dari kemiringan motor sehingga apabila terjadi hal-hal yang tidak diduga, seperti ada lubang atau menghindari kendaraan yang tiba-tiba
bergerak memotong, kita tinggal menarik stang mengikuti badan yg tegak atau miring ke arah sebaliknya.

Kenapa lebih efektif, soalnya berat badan kita tidak sedang miring ke arah tikungan. Bayangkan betapa susahnya memindahkan berat tubuh dari (katakanlah) sebelah kiri ke kanan secara mendadak untuk bermanuver menghindari lubang atau kendaraan lain. Jeda waktu (duration) dan tenaga (effort) yg digunakan pastlah lebih lama & berat. Pada teknik CS, hal ini tidak terjadi. Alhasil, setiap manuver terasa ringan dan kecepatan tetap bisa dipertahankan.

Demikianlah tiga gaya dan teknik basic dalam mengendarai motor ditikungan. Sangat penting dalam berkendara sehari-hari, dan terutama bagi para bikers yang gemar turing.

bongkar tumor rumah tensioner

atas dasar kejengahan pada sindrom mesin jahit yang mendera FU kesayangan hingga pengen ganti tensioner pake manual seperti halnya di shogie 125, maka saya berkeinginan membongkar tumor sendiri untuk mengetahui apa yang menyebabkan sindrom mesin jahit terjadi.

bagi yang awam sama sekali, analogi berikut bisa digunakan untuk membayangkan cara kerja tensioner. lihat rantai belakang motor. kan tidak tegang sekali, masih ada jarak toleransi. nah itu dianalogikan rantai keteng yang tidak tegang (ada toleransi kekendoran). kemudian agar rantai motor tegang, tekan rantai bagian atas ke bawah atau bagian bawah ke atas dengan menggunakan satu jari tegak lurus terhdap rantai. nah, jari tersebut dianalogikan sebagai tensioner. pada kondisi motor berhenti, jari (tensioner) menekan penuh rantai, ketika motor mulai berjalan, rantai menegang sehingga menekan jari ke atas (tensioner memendek), ketika motor kembali berhenti, jari kembali menekan rantai (kembali memanjang karena ada per tensioner). semoga analoginya benar dan bisa dimengerti.

lanjut yah..

siang tadi pas balik ke kantor, sempat2in bawa kunci 8-9 pas. rencananya buat bongkar tumor tempat setelan tensioner.

nyampe kantor langsung bongkar tempat sampah nyari koran bekas buat alas dan lap..:D

parkir motor ke tempat yang aman dan teduh, maklum kantornya tidak di gedung2 mewah yang ada tempat parkirnya di basemen..:oops:

standar samping motor..(standar tengah dah dilepas, bikin berat aja..:D:D)

persneling dioper ke gigi 6 (atas anjuran tukang beres beberapa waktu lalu), klo yang ini buat menjaga agar motor tidak bergerak sehingga rante keteng tetap pada posisinya, takutnya klo gerak bisa loncat gigi sehingga timingnya tidak pas, yang fatal2nya bisa berakibat tabrakan antara klep dengan piston..(byks). ini juga satu alasan kenapa saya standar samping..klo standar tengah takut ga sengaja gerakkan ban belakang..

setelah buka baut 8 di kanan dan kiri tumor, langsung dilepas saja, usap oli yang tersisa di batang (as) penekan dengan koran biar ga terlalu kotor.

saya amati cara kerjanya dulu, jangan sampe nanti saya salah pasang..hehe..

ternyata menyetel dengan memutar searah jarum jam akan memperpendek as, sebaliknya akan memanjangkan as. prinsip kerjanya, pada kondisi default, as akan menekan rantai keteng, ketika mesin berjalan, maka rantai keteng akan menegang dan memutar as sehingga memendek mengikuti tegangan rantai keteng. ketika rmp turun, per tensioner akan mengembalikan posisi as ke default (panjang).

dalam pikiran saya, jika mesin motor baru menyala tapi udah langsung menjahit, berarti pada kondisi panjang as default, as tidak cukup menekan rantai keteng. sehingga untuk mengatasinya as harus disetel lebih panjang.

jika sindrom mesin jahit muncul ketika rpm baru naik, brarti per tensionernya tidak cukup kuat untuk mengembalikan as ke posisi panjang (menekan rantai keteng), solusinya ya pernya harus diganti.

kembali ke nyetel panjang as penekan/tensioner.

untuk memanjangkan default-nya, pertama congkel plat bintang 6 dengan obeng min, atau pencongkel lainnya. biarkan per tensioner tetap di dalam rumahnya, putar as tensioner aga rlebih panjang. kembalikan lagi bintang 6 untuk mengunci as agar tidak bisa berputar dan menahan per tensioner tetap dalam tumor tersebut.

pasang kembali. naah ketika dimasukkan lubang tensioner, asnya tentu kepanjangan kan? maka, obenglah searah jarum jam (as memendek), dengan tetap menahan obeng (klo obeng dilepas ya memanjang lagi karena ada per tensioner) masukkan kembali tensioner ke dalam lubangnya. kunci bautnya sedikit demi sedikit hingga rapat, jika sudah rapat benar lepaskan obeng penahan tadi, kemudian kuatkan baut dengan kunci 8.

netralkan persneling. nyalakan motor dan TADAAA..sindrom mesin jahitpun hilang..

rating: mechanical advisory

warning: praktik ini saya lakukan berdasarkan atas asas kenekadan (karena ga punya duit ke beres) dan didorong rasa keingintahuan untuk mengulik FU kesayangan ini sendiri. dasar pengetahuan hanya melihat mekanik beres bongkar tumor saya beberapa waktu lalu saat ganti per tensioner.
sebelum membongkar sendiri, pengetahuan akan prinsip kerja dan fungsi tensioner sangat diperlukan.
saya tidak bertanggungjawab atas hal2 yang terjadi akibat mengikuti sharing di atas.

yang masih menjadi pertanyaan: apakah menyetel as lebih panjang membawa dampak negatif pada rantai keteng? mengingat tensionernya berjalan otomatis (dengan per) smoga tidak ada dampak buruknya..

kesimpulan:
-sindrom mesin jahit berhenti (sampai malam hari sharing ini diposting), semoga sampai seterusnya..
-keinginan untuk menjadikan manual (sementara) pupus sudah..
-hati senang karena dapat mengatasi satu masalah dengan tangan sendiri dan bertambah lagi satu pengalaman sederhana tapi sangat berharga bagi saya..

klo ada yang salah istilah atau salah tindakan, atau ada yang terlewatkan mohon tidak sungkan dituangkan di sini..

salam tensioner,

Geek to Live: Lifehacker's guide to weblog comments

Geek to Live: Lifehacker's guide to weblog comments

by Gina Trapani

Leaving a comment on someone's weblog is like walking into their living room and joining in on a conversation. As in real life, online there are some people who are a pleasure to converse with, and some who are not.

Good blog commenters add to the discussion and are known as knowledgeable, informative, friendly and engaged. Build your own online social capital and become a great blog commenter by keeping these simple guidelines in mind before you post.

Stay on topic.

Bloggers enable comments on specific blog posts to hear more about the content of the post. Don't change the subject. There's nothing more annoying than seeing a comment on a post about Hurricane Katrina that reads, "By the way, do you know anything about turtles?"

Contribute new information to the discussion.

Twelve people saying the same exact thing in one comment thread is useless and irritating. Before you comment, read the entire thread and make sure your comment offers something new to the conversation. If you don't have the time or patience to read an entire thread, then don't comment at all. The longer a comment thread the more likely someone has already said what you're thinking, and the less likely it is to be read by future visitors anyway.

Don't comment for the sake of commenting.

Commenters who only say "First!" or "Nice site" on an open thread have no business hitting that "Post" button at all. Further, only spammers comment for the sake of adding their name and URL to a web page. Useless comments will gain you the reputation for being a useless commenter.

Know when to comment and when to e-mail.

A weblog comment is a public one-to-many communication within the context of a blog post. An e-mail is a private interaction. A weblog comment that reads, "Oh yeah, that link is cool. By the way, how's your sister?" doesn't contribute to the public conversation and belongs in an e-mail message to the author instead.

Remember that nobody likes a know-it-all.

The best kind of comments come from thoughtful, knowledgeable people who add more information about a topic. However, tongue-lashings from condescending smartypants will go over as well on someone's blog as they would in that someone's living room. Expect to get shown the door in the form of the delete button. When fact-checking, pointing out a typo or dead link or asserting a dissenting opinion, do it in a respectful, friendly way.

Make the tone of your message clear.

No one can hear the tone of your voice or see your facial expression online. Sarcasm, in-jokes and exaggerations can easily be taken the wrong way in a public forum. Remember that a simple colon and a parentheses can change the meaning of a sentence entirely. Use emoticons or additional information to communicate the spirit of your message.

Own your comment.

Anonymous commenting, while sometimes necessary, can be seen as cowardly. Build your identity and own your words by placing your name and weblog address on your comments wherever possible.

Be succinct.

Longwinded lectures are for college professors, not blog comments. Stay short and to the point. Everyone appreciates brevity.

Cite your sources with links or inline quoting.

To comment on specific bits of a blog post, copy and paste the lines in question and add your response below each section. If you're referencing information located elsewhere, provide a short summary and a link to your source so others can click through for more information at their discretion.

Be courteous.

Chances are something someone says in a comment or post is going to irk you. Still, personal attacks are unacceptable, useless and can quickly degrade a discussion to a third grade "Yo Mama" flamefest. Resist the urge, and be respectful and objective at all times.

Don't post when you're angry, upset, drunk or emotional.

There's no taking back a published blog comment - once you post, it's there for everyone to see and for Google to cache. Remember, you're not going to show your best face in the heat of an emotional moment. If you find yourself angrily typing a message into someone's blog comment box - STOP. Get up. Take a breath. Walk around. Give it a day. Revisit the thread when your head is clear. This goes doubly for public blog comments as it does for private e-mail messages.

Do not feed or tease the trolls.

No matter how many articles like this get written, there will always be people who surf around the Internet and inject pointless vindictiveness into any available textarea. Don't let the terrorists win. Do NOT acknowledge these people with refutations, disagreements or even a mention of their screen name.

22. Driver Verifier Manager = verifier.exe (seems to be a utility for monitoring the actions of drivers, might be useful for people having driver problems. Undocumented).
