Une coalition des jeunes sur la Gouvernance Internet ?

L'atelier des jeunes qui s'est déroulé hier après midi dans la salle 2: Sinai intitulé "Youth and Internet Governance: the way forward" a regroupé les jeunes des différentes régions qui ont débattu autour d’importants thèmes dont celle de la participation des jeunes et les réseaux sociaux.
Les panelistes ont ainsi présenté la situation des jeunes en Afrique, les obstacles à leur participation, tout comme l'expérience des jeunes en Europe, ainsi que l'apport de la participation à distance. Tout comme le modèle de participation des jeunes en Egypte qui est un franc succès.
On a aussi pu s'enquérir des informations sur les filtrages des réseaux au Moyen Orient notamment en Arabie Saoudite, ainsi que l'importance des réseaux sociaux entre autre.
La recommandation forte des jeunes a été la mise sur pied d'une coalition devant porter la voix des jeunes sur la Gouvernance Internet.

les réseaux sociaux en ligne: Nouvelle cible des attaques cybercriminelles

social networks on line: New target of the cybercriminelles attacks
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Very recently, it is the giant facebook, the social wide-area network on line with nearly 175 million members, who was attacked a few days ago. According to the experts, a véreuse application crossed the safety fence, fortunately Facebook removed very quickly.
The emergence of the social networks indeed has booster rocket the use of the TIC, and new behavior on the Web.
These social networks which pay enormously are thus now the target of the cybercriminels which wish to show with a greater number of people their ingeniousness, which is unfortunately reprehensible by the international laws.
We are thus far now from the time when only the publicly-owned establishments as in the States Unies, or very recently several ministries in Cameroun and elsewhere were victims.

Ubuntu vs. Vista vs. Windows 7

Ubuntu vs. Vista vs. Windows 7
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
The comparative ones between Windows and Linux multiply, but are not always relevant. Will that posted on Tux Radar interest the professionals particularly, because it concentrates on the problems of deployment, of time of starting? and of performance.

This test is carried out on a provided modern machine D? an Intel Core i7 920 (including/understanding four C? the USSR and given rhythm with 2,66 GHz), of 6 Go of read-write memory and two hard disks of 500 Go. The choice of OS is coherent: Ubuntu 8.10 (stable) and Ubuntu 9.04 (alpha) side Linux, Vista (stable) and 7 (beta) in the Windows clan. The versions 32 bits and 64 bits are tested in each case.

Contrary to the generally accepted ideas, Linux S? installs much more quickly than Windows and with less D? interventions on behalf of the technician. A good point for the deployments in mass of this OS. L? Ubuntu also occupies very little place. L? to install on a netbook equipped with 8 Go or 12 Go of Flash disc is very largely possible. We cannot say some in the same way with Windows 7, well too greedy in space of storage: here, a disc of 16 Go or 20 Go seems to be the vital minimum.

C? is a constant, Linux spends more time to start than Windows. On the other hand, once the posted office, this OS is entirely charged in memory, whereas Windows continues to launch services and to carry out D? other tasks during a time which can reach the ten minutes. The strategy employed is thus different. Linux is caught up with over time before extinction of the machine, here very short. Note what if L? Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits adopts the filing system ext4, it takes again the second place of this classification, 2,2 seconds behind the version 32 bits of Windows 7. Not badly!

The handling of data on the hard disk crowns Linux like great champion. With L? ext4, the results climb still, and sometimes of more than 25%! It should be noted what Windows N? lorsqu is not very good? it S? acts to remove files, this operation being able to take sometimes much time (or sometimes very little). Linux hardly makes however better, the removal of very large files (several gigaoctets) being systematically rather long under ext3.

Pure performances: Does Windows pass by again L

at the head? article of Tux Radar finishes on a relatively complete benchmark cross-country race-punt-form. Here, the performances of Windows are higher than those of Linux. Let us relativize however: the performances of the versions 32 bits of Windows are definitely higher than those of the versions 32 bits of Linux. On the other hand, grindings 64 bits of OS propose almost identical performances, though always in favour of Windows.

Does this variation enter OS 32 bits and 64 bits S? explain easily: Are Windows and its applications adapted to L? together specificities of the processors of the market. If you lay out D? Pentium MX, L? multi-media unit MX will be used as soon as possible. If you lay out D? Core 2 Duet, the system S? will adapt to optimizations specific to this chip (presence of the SE, instructions faster, etc). In short, the code is almost always carried out as well as possible, because optimizations are dynamic.

Linux could make in the same way, but the developers adopt an often different approach. Thus, it is compiled with a play fixes D? optimizations, compatible with a majority of processors: in are mode 32 bits, the units multimedia (MX, SE, etc) quite simply ignored, the system being compiled to function on 386 provided D? a calculating unit on the floating numbers. You lay out D? Core 2 Duet which proposes SE and accelerates certain treatments? Alas, the code will take only seldom counts these specificities of them.

Into mode 64 bits, the things change: the processors x86 compatible with these instructions are all of the Pentium class and integrate all the units multimedia MX and SE. Also, the compiler sets a batch D? basic optimizations more consequent good. Consequently the performances climb.

With final, the results are not very glorious for Windows Vista and Windows 7. L? Ubuntu beats its two OS with punt seams. The situation S? opposite however when the pure performances are measured. Does Windows take again L then? favour. However, if you choose a grinding 64 bits of Linux, this difference in speed will be unperceivable (less than 1%).
