The Hard disk

The hard disk of a computer is the largest and permanent storage location of a computer. The operating system of any computer is loaded directly on to the hard disk and all other default files or folders are located in one place or the other in the hard disk.
Hard disk can be partitioned during the process of formatting and operating system installation. Therefore, after partitioning a hard disk the various partition can be categorized into root partition usually drive C:, recovery partition otherwise referred to as drive E: and the back up partition which can take from F:, G:, H:, and continues as the case may be. Drive D: in most cases is left for the CD/DVD ROM. Also created network hard drive usually called map drive network are normally labeled from Z:, Y:, X: and so on. In older computers with floppy disk drive, drive A: is usually set aside for floppy disk technology.
The root hard disk, drive C:, also referred to as the master record boot is where the operating system is loaded. Every other files and folders that make the computer work properly are saved in this drive. All installation of applications and software programs are also done on this drive.
Most contemporary computers have recovery hard disk. The recovery hard disk, drive E:, is the compartment where all default settings, system drivers and restore point are stored for ease of accessibility when needed.
The back up hard disk, drive F: downwards, serves as a supporting and saving grace tool whenever there is root hard disk failure i.e whenever drive C: fails. All files and folders saved in the back up hard drive can easily be retrieved whenever the root hard drive fails and needs to be formatted.
Hard disk technology has witness a lot of advancement. Hard disk technology started with the integrated device electronic (IDE) technology. With this technology, hard disk capacity ranging from 10GB, 20GB, 40GB, 80GB, 160GB and 250GB were developed.
The quest for larger storage capacity due to software advancement which the IDE technology could not withstand, the serial advance technology hard disk (SATA) was developed in order to increase the storage capacity of computers. SATA hard disk has storage capacities ranging from 80GB, 150GB, 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and even 1 terabyte.
Today, the world is talking about cloud storage technology as the new evolution in computer storage system. Cloud storage capacity is very vast and it is very handy, that gives it preference over IDE and SATA technology.

Why free hosting platform is better for newbies

These days, it is better to launch a site on a free hosted platform and then upgrade to a paid hosted domain when the site starts generating massive traffic and good income. The competition online now is so enormous that it is very difficult for a new site to start attracting a good number of visitors under a month talkless of generating reasonable income. The reason for this is not far fetched. In the past, a  site becomes a success witnin a short period of time because of minimal competition but today there is nothing to say or do online that someone else has not said or done and even better.
Most new websites fail to earn any revenue within the one year period of hosting. This is usually a very very big challenge for site owners because they find it very difficult and discouraging renewing their hosting plan when it expires. This invariably leads to abrupt closing of the site.

We are yet to see a solid mineral that can replace oil

There had been so much talk about diversifying the Nigerian economy since crude oil prices had fallen drastically in the international market. This development has affected the economy and brought untold hardship on the citizenry. One of the ways the present day government is looking at to diversify the economy is through solid mineral exploration. This is why the ministry of solid minerals has been on its toes, working tirelessly to come out with a solid mineral that can serve as replacement for crude oil.

Can this really work? These solid minerals are they really in abundance? Abundant enough to satisfy us as well as as the international market. Remember, crude oil is found in the Niger delta which is almost an entire region comprising of Eight states namely Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-ibom, Cross river and Abia states. In these states, crude oil is found both onshore and offshore.  Thus, it is abundant enough to cater for our energy needs as well as for exportation.

Solid minerals in the country are found in individual states. For instance, coal is found in Enugu, Tin in Jos plateau, Gold in Osun, salt in Nassarawa e.t.c. Non of these solid minerals expanse an entire region or Geo-political zone of the country. Only very few of them are really in abundance to earn foreign exchange.

Previous dispensations were aware of these solid minerals but never thought of exploring them because it would be futile effort. Let the truth be told! The only viable means of diversifying the economy is through agriculture.

Is displaying ads still a viable online business?

If yes, then why are sites displaying ads stock? No single earnings coming from the ads even with the huge number of people that visit the sites regularly. It seems visitors are now aware that by clicking on ads, they make money for the site owners, so they avoid it as much as possible. They only get whatever information they needed from the site and get out.

That is not fair, visitors should be aware that preparing this information takes a lot of time, hard work and effort. Therefore, site owners need motivation and encouragement to do more. The only way they can be motivated and encouraged is when they are able to make something from their effort at the end of the day.

Or, what of if all publishers now place subscription fee on their sites? Am sure you wouldn’t want that to happen. You still like to get information free of charge from the net, right? Then, help the publishers to help you too.
