Does Your Browser History Occupy Your Hard Drive Space?

                                                        It’s obvious guys that everything in your system occupies some space in the Hard Drive, but the amount of space occupied by your history is very less (may be in Megabytes) when compared to your size of Hard Drive (may be in Gigabytes). History space depends upon the type of file like whether it is a document or image or search history and so forth. If it is a document or image it occupies more space when compared to your search history. Deleting your history frees up some space but it may not be very useful if you want to store big files in place of history space instead use this space for storing small files. While deleting history please select delete cookies option also even though it helps in faster reloading of web pages . Cookies helps companies and hackers to track you and know your preferences based on your search history. So, if you delete cookies no one can know your preferences.

Thank you.

                                                       A CAPTCHA an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart". It is a type of challenge response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human or not.                                                             The term was coined in 2003 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper, and John Langford. The most common type of CAPTCHA was first invented in 1997 by two groups working in parallel:  Mark D. Lillibridge, Martin Abadi, Krishna Bharat, and Andrei Z. Broder; and Eran Reshef, Gili Raanan and Eilon Solan. This form of CAPTCHA requires that the user type the letters of a dis...

Defragmentation - The Incredible Feature.

What is Defragmentation and what is the use of it? Ø In the maintenance of file systems, defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the mass storage device used to store files into the smallest number of contiguous regions (fragments). It also attempts to create larger regions of free space using compaction to impede the return of fragmentation. Some defragmentation utilities try to keep smaller files within a single directory together, as they are often accessed in sequence . Ø I think many of you haven’t understood, so let’s see actually what it is. Ø When you buy the computer, the hard disk may contain O.S only. Hard disk stores Data in Circular form. So, after filling one layer the data may be stored in another layer. Ø Now you may install some videos, pictures, songs, games, software etc. These files occupy some space in the hard disk. Ø  After sometime you may delete them like y...
