Dear subscriber and international investor,
September
month begun with a very good and important event for the Democratic
Republic of Congo: the signature of a peace agreement between the central
government of President Kabila
and the various and disparate waring movements challenging its authority. With this issue,AFRICABIZ starts a new heading named "CONTROL YOUR DESKTOP". Under said column, we will, month after month, share with you our experience in controlling a computer desktop in order:
As
we all know, operating systems crashes are inevitable whatever may be precautions
we have taken to avoid such a nigphpare. You
never know which executable program or software is going to behave weirdly. Thanks for poppingin and see you next month. Dr.

certainly heard about the hacking of Microsoft Hotmail which occurred
last week. Microsoft was obliged to shut down Hotmail for quite one day, to patch
a security glitch which allowed hackers to gain access to some
accounts; read and send email under the name of the real subscribers of the accounts.
In a previous issue
AFRICABIZ raised the security problem
with regards email. Here we are giving you again another alternative to protect
your mail privacy. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS 1-
With HushMail, users create their own passphrases,
and the secure HushMail server does the rest. 1,024 bits of random numbers are
converted into a pair of user keys -- one private key
and one public key. (What the public key locks, the
private key unlocks, and vice-versa.)
The passphrase plus the Blowfish algorithm encrypts the private key. 3- A one-time message key, unique to each email that is sent, is used to encrypt (and decrypt) the email message itself.
The message key (128-bit Blowfish) encrypts the email. 4-
The recipient's public key is used to encrypt the message key.
The message key is asymmetrically encrypted using the recipient's public key
YOUR PASSPHRASE CONTRIBUTES TO TIGHT SECURITY

PARTITION
AND STABILIZE YOUR HARD DISK The
first item of our new heading - Control your desktop -
deals with your computer system stability; that is to
say the characteristic of limiting irritating annoyances - Microsoft operating
system infamous "fatal error..." - and resulting crashes of your desktop
to only actions initiated by unexpected bugs; and not to the inherent default
configuration of your hard disk. IT IS COMPULSORY TO HAVE A PARTITIONED HARD DISK If the software installed on your system are limited to the minimum: that is to say:
you may, safely, stick to
a one-full hard disk.
That will stabilize your system and make it run more smoothly. Partitioning alone is not the silver bullet which will solve everything concerning the stability of your system, but it will play a great part in reaching stability.
HOW TO
PARTITION YOUR HARD DISK Before the triumphal apparition of Microsoft Windows 95, partitioning a hard disk was not necessary; only those computers fans who have deep pockets were able to afford maximum 100 to 500 MB hard disk; and anyway partitioning was not for the faint heart; a real pain in the neck...That was four years ago...a millennium in digital age! Nowadays, it's done on a fly thanks to good utilities available. I use PartitionMagic - the name speaks for itself; easy simple for a dummy like me; in 10 minutes max it was done pronto! - from http://www.powerquest.com to perform the partition of my hard disk. I choose PartitionMagic instead of any other available similar tool because PowerQuest provides - as a bonus - another utility - MagicMover - to move software from one partition to another one on your hard disk.
