The Debian Distribution
Linux is freely-available and freely-redistributable, so anyone who wishes to do so may obtain a Linux distribution and resell it for profit without the need to obtain licenses or pay royalties. The GNU General Public License, which covers most system-level components and distributions of Linux software, legally allows the occurrence of this "unusual" practice. There is little chance that Linux could ever have reached the level of quality that it has today without the freedom provided to its users by the GNU General Public License. However, the freedom that has made Linux possible also poses an interesting problem to the legitimacy of it in the eyes of the large commercial organizations in which it must gain acceptance to succeed. "What exactly is `Linux'? Is a particular distribution `Linux'? What is the difference between `Linux' and a `Linux distribution'? Why hasn't this particular commercial vendor developed their own distribution of Linux? Who else will stand behind and support the Linux product if its vendor has not developed it? Is Linux for hackers and hobbyists, or is it really a suitable replacement for the commercial operating systems in use at `real-life' businesses?"
There has been much talk lately of consortiums, foundations and official Linux organizations to ensure that the pursuit of profit by commercial Linux distributors will never take precedence over the quality of the products and services that they sell. Others have suggested that the developers of the system-level software or end-user distributions should undertake the responsibility; after all, the developers spend a great deal of time and energy constructing the software and systems for free and are not likely to "sell out" for profit.
Whether we like it or not, Linux is rapidly becoming big business and individuals are profiting from it. While it does not bother me personally that people are making a living from distributing and selling Linux, we, the developers and users of it, must ensure that providing a first-class product remains the highest priority of such businesses and that the future of the operating system is never compromised in the battle for competitive advantage and higher profit. Only by doing so can we assure the future success of Linux in the commercial market, a success that will benefit everyone.
Before proceeding further, an introduction is probably in order. My name is Ian A. Murdock, and in mid-August of 1993 I began working on what would eventually become the Debian Linux distribution. Over the past four months and with the assistance and support of hundreds of users around the world, Debian has evolved into a commercial-quality system that will soon be able to compete successfully alongside commercial UNIX implementations and non-UNIX operating systems alike. By the time this article is published, Debian will be available to the public via anonymous FTP.
We are also currently in the process of forming the Debian Linux Association, an organization that will serve as the official maintainer of Debian and the backbone and "watchdog" of commercial distribution of it. The Free Software Foundation is involved and will soon be distributing Debian on CD-ROM. There is much work to be done yet, but just as much progress has already been made. The future looks very bright, and by the beginning of March 1994 we hope to be well on our way toward our goal of making Linux a viable alternative to commercial operating systems.
My goal from the beginning has been to create a commercial-quality distribution of the Linux operating system, a product which has not existed until now but which is absolutely essential to the success of Linux in the commercial market. In this month's column I am including the Debian Linux Manifesto as a means of introducing what I have done and what I plan to do with Debian Linux. In future columns I will discuss such topics as the commercial potential of Linux, the problems with the current commercial distribution of the operating system and the progress of the Debian Linux Association toward solving these problems.
Distributions are essential to the future of Linux. Essentially, they eliminate the need for the user to locate, download, compile, install and integrate a fairly large number of essential tools to assemble a working Linux system. Instead, the burden of system construction is placed on the distribution creator, whose work can be shared with thousands of other users. Almost all users of Linux will get their first taste of it through a distribution, and most users will continue to use a distribution for the sake of convenience even after they are familiar with the operating system. Thus, distributions play a very important role indeed.
Despite their obvious importance, distributions have attracted little attention from developers. There is a simple reason for this: they are neither easy nor glamorous to construct and require a great deal of ongoing effort from the creator to keep the distribution bug-free and up-to-date. It is one thing to put together a system from scratch; it is quite another to ensure that the system is easy for others to install, is installable and usable under a wide variety of hardware configurations, contains software that others will find useful, and is updated when the components themselves are improved.
Many distributions have started out as fairly good systems, but as time passes attention to maintaining the distribution becomes a secondary concern. A case-in-point is the Softlanding Linux System (better known as SLS). It is quite possibly the most bug-ridden and badly maintained Linux distribution available; unfortunately, it is also quite possibly the most popular. It is, without question, the distribution that attracts the most attention from the many commercial "distributors" of Linux that have surfaced to capitalize on the growing popularity of the operating system.
This is a bad combination indeed, as most people who obtain Linux from these "distributors" receive a bug-ridden and badly maintained Linux distribution. As if this wasn't bad enough, these "distributors" have a disturbing tendency to misleadingly advertise non-functional or extremely unstable "features" of their product. Combine this with the fact that the buyers will, of course, expect the product to live up to its advertisement and the fact that many may believe it to be a commercial operating system as there is also a tendency not to mention that Linux is free nor that it is distributed under the GNU General Public License. To top it all off, these "distributors" are actually making enough money from their effort to justify buying larger advertisements in more magazines; it is the classic example of unacceptable behavior being rewarded by those who simply do not know any better. Clearly something needs to be done to remedy the situation.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Life history theory aims to explain the relationship between life events, recognizing that the fertility and growth schedules of organisms are dependent on environmental conditions and an organism's ability to extract resources from its environment. Using models from life history theory, we predict life expectancy to be positively correlated with educational investments and negatively correlated with adolescent reproduction and total fertility rates. Analyses of UN data from 193 countries support these predictions and demonstrate that, although variation is evident across world regions, strong interactions exist among life expectancy, reproductive investments, and educational attainment, and these relationships occur independently of economic pressures and disease burdens. The interactions are strongest, however, in countries with a life expectancy of ≥60 years as these countries tend to have stable economies and a limited HIV/AIDS burden. These findings suggest that policies aimed at influencing education and reproductive decisions should consider environmental characteristics that drive people's expectations about their longevity.

October 10th 2011! Coot with at least 2 chicks, Great Pool Himley.
My field Guide says two broods, March to June. Let us hope the weather stays warm for them to survive!
Even the poor birds dont know where they are with the weather. I found a woodpigeon hatchling on Friday!
Lovely capture, Peter! Nice to see these birds in the wild! LIKE! Best wishes, Anne
Amazing to see that the Coot has chicks in October!!! Hopefully it won't get too cold and all the chicks can survive! Overhere, temperature is around 15C which is relatively warm for October! Best regards, Anne
Nice one Peter
I have seen them nesting but never seen the chicks at this age (or time of year).
It looks like you were trying for a panorama (or were you panning?).
Cheers - Jethro
Hi Anne and Jethro
Went back to see the family on Thursday 13 October.
Here the Mother and chicks are doing fine
And the chicks send their greetings
Best wishes Peter

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. Aca,!" General Ann E. Dunwoody visited several sites here January 22 to get her first detailed briefings and hands-on experience with existing and emerging technologies since assuming command of the Army Materiel Command.
Research Development and Engineering Command and Installation Commander Maj. Gen. Paul S. Izzo hosted the visit, during which Dunwoody visited the Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity, the Army Research Laboratory and the Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center and the Chemical Materials Agency.
Garrison Commander Col. Jeffrey S. Weissman briefed the ArmyAca,!a,,cs first female four-star general on the APG 2012 transformation. The importance of that transformation to AMC and the future of Army technology was a major theme of the visit.
Aca,!A"APG is going to be one of the premier research, development and testing installations in the Army,Aca,!A? said Izzo. Aca,!A"So General Dunwoody was obviously very interested in our vision for APG 2012. She came away with an excellent grasp of the contributions RDECOM and APG make to the Army and our Soldiers.Aca,!A?
The day-long visit spanned the full spectrum of those contributions, going from the basic research done at ARL to the analysis AMSAA does that continues after the systems have been fielded. Dunwoody began at AMSAA, where Director Dr. William F. Crain gave Dunwoody an overview of his how his team uses operations research methods and state-of-the-art systems analysis to contribute to the logistics and research and development efforts Dunwoody leads as AMC chief.
At ARL Dunwoody met some of the people who do the fundamental research that underlies the ArmyAca,!a,,cs technology.
"During General Dunwoody's visit, I was able to tour her through two of our materials labs,Aca,!A? said Michael Maher, chief of the Materials Applications Branch, Weapons & Materials Research Directorate, U.S. Army Research Laboratory.
Aca,!A"She was able to see how the latest material technologies are being incorporated into ARLAca,!a,,cs armor and coating developments that included lightweight helmets as well as transparent and ceramic armors that are not only lighter than the existing solutions but provide more protection for the Warfighter.Aca,!A?
The technologies and the teams behind them made an impact on Dunwoody.
Aca,!A"I was very impressed with the many capabilities the RDECOM workforce brings to AMCAca,!a,,cs support of the Warfighter,Aca,!A? said Dunwoody. Aca,!A"Their dedicated scientists and engineers are on point for so many of the leading innovations designed to ensure our Soldiers remain the safest, most effective and best-equipped Army in the world.Aca,!A?
Praise like that had a big impact on the ARL team, Maher said.
Aca,!A"It was great honor to be able to host General Dunwoody. For her to take the time to see the technologies that we are developing and recognize how they are being used to help the Warfighter was a tremendous morale boost to our workforce.Aca,!A?
Izzo said ARLAca,!a,,cs example applies across the installation.
Aca,!A"It is always valuable for our leadership to see first-hand how our scientists, engineers and other installation team members are contributing world-class support to the Warfighter.Aca,!A?

Hey all... I'm a relative newbie to WordPress, and after having created a site and wanting it to go live, I find myself pulling my hair out, being unable to view ANYTHING except the initial splash/front page.
I've got a basic index.html page in my root folder (WordPress is also installed in the root) and it displays fine (at http://skinbonestone.com ). The image on that page is supposed to link through to the main site (http://skinbonestone.com/?page_id=2), but it's just getting redirected back again. (Make sense?) I haven't fiddled with the .htaccess file at all. I'm pretty sure it's something painfully obvious and simple, yet I've been overlooking it. Changing to a different theme doesn't seem to help. And if I simply remove the index.html file from the root, I get the following error:
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
There is SOMETHING that seems to be always trying to redirect my site to the index page, but I can't work out what. Any ideas PLEASE?! I'll love you forever!...

Union Rescue Mission
Rating: 5 stars 1 1 review 763
545 S San Pedro St Los Angeles CA 90013 USA
We embrace people experiencing homelessness with the compassion of Christ, giving hope and healing for a changed life, helping them to find their way home. Union Rescue Mission is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the lives of the homeless and poor in Los Angeles by seeking to empower them to break the cycle of poverty and become self-sufficient. Union Rescue Mission is one of the oldest and largest missions of its kind in the United States and the oldest in Los Angeles. Nutritious meals, hot showers, warm beds, clothing, shoes, haircuts, a safe place, and a listening ear are a few of the things URM offers men, women and children everyday. Our first priority is to meet basic needs, and then to assist in finding ways for one to get back on their feet. Most services are free of charge.
A residential transitional living and recovery program focused on helping broken men to build new lives. Grounded on a solid biblical foundation, the program addresses the root cause of homelessness and offers lasting solutions to men as they move out of addiction and despair and back in the community as productive members of society.

i came to the union rescue mission after losing my job and ran out of all my savings, i was a drinker and a casual drug user whom eventually became homeless, in 2003 i came to the mission for a meal and somewhere to sleep, and the next day i joined the C.L.D.P. program and graduated in 2005 and have been clean and sober ever since, a special thanks to Chaplin Steve Borja, D.H.

Phone app from University of Illinois detects toxins, bacteria
- From: AP
- August 01, 2013
AFRAID there may be peanuts or other allergens hiding in that cookie?
Thanks to a cradle and app that turn your smartphone into a handheld biosensor, you may soon be able to run on-the-spot tests for food safety, environmental toxins, medical diagnostics and more.
The handheld biosensor was developed by researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. A series of lenses and filters in the cradle mirror those found in larger, more expensive laboratory devices. Together, the cradle and app transform a smartphone into a tool that can detect toxins and bacteria, spot water contamination and identify allergens in food.
Kenny Long, a graduate researcher at the university, says the team was able to make the smartphone even smarter with modifications to the cellphone camera.

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
While the film didn't show it, I am sure Ving Rhames character as a police officer gave them some basic firearms what and what not to do, but even the first time I picked a up a gun I was nowhere near as accurate as he was when they were plugging zombies out where the truck parked in the loading dock.

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
I was watching a movie on Netflix last night and a guy with a Sig (?) shot two rounds after the slide was locked back. The movie was so good I can't remember the name. It had Gary Busie as some militia leader, serial killer being chased by the FBI. I had to turn it off.The question is, will you be on your feet or your knees?

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
2007 Death Of A President, a little known canadian film depicting in documentary style the events surrounding the assasination of GWB, released while he was still in office as POTUS. talk about bad taste. no wonder why it was not released in USA...
the AR-15 style rifle used in the film is shown in close-up enuf to read the manufacturer. turns out it was a japanese made air rifle. canadians can't get the real thing, i guess.
the film was made by anti-American rag head lovers, so you can imagine. worth a watch just to see how hard the anti-Americans are pushing...

I am using Jira 3.1 for task tracking. It works over SQL Server 2008 R2.
Recently I tried to use Jira as a service rather than running it from a command line. I have installed the service and put dependency from SQL Server service.
The problem, however, is that it seems that Jira service does not wait SQL Server to start completely. Webpage shows error, event log says:
Login failed for user 'jirauser'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: 127.0.0.1]
If I manually restart the service, everything is OK, so looks like the reason is indeed in bad timing.
Is there any standard way to overcome this difficulty? I can, of course, create some batch file to start Jira service after some fixed time, say it, 1 minute after reboot, but this solution is ugly.

Hi Guys,
First off - Love MailChimp and love the plugin. Great work!
Just one little quibble, I'm running a WP 3 network and it seems that only super admins can see the MailChimp Setup item under the settings menu. This means that individual users must provide the network admin with their API key and list details in order to get the plugin working.
Do you plan on changing this behaviour?
I'm not sure on the preferred approach but I notice that WordPress Stats places a config item under the 'plugin' menu when in network mode. This seems like a good solution because it means that if network admins have granted the right to add / view plugins users are also able to see the options.

I was very offended because it's my right and she had no right to judge me.
Anyway, just wanted to know if anyone else was told about getting the TDAP with every pregnancy?
Nope, in fact when I got pregnant this time they told me I didn't need one because I had one 3 years ago when I got pregnant with my 2& 1/2 yo.
Mom to Jamesson, 26; Molly, 23; Jenna, 21; Alex, 20; Abigail, 16; Madeleine, 12; Tessa, 4; and Sophie, 16mo!
They told me if I'd had it in the last 5 years (I hadn't), I didn't need it.
DS (9/07), DS (4/10), ^DS^ (3/12, 21 weeks), DD 4/13
yep. I had mine in 2011 and when it was mentioned to me by the nurse I was confused. I talked to the OB and he said it was recommended for everyone who was pregnant, regardless of when you last had it, according to the CDC.
It wasn't going to harm anyone, so I just got it again.
Nichole(33) & Lawrence (29) 10/6/2007
Nolan 9/12/2009 9lb7oz
Cyrus 3/14/2013 (Due 4/5/2013) 7lb15oz
Yes, mine told me they are now recommending it for everyone around 32weeks. From what I understand It has nothing to do with when you last had it it has to do with getting it while pregnant so more of it is passed to your baby being there are so many pertussis cases. Mine said its totally up to me. I told him that makes me a little leery being this is something new and maybe not as studied while during pregnat. He did not look at me like a was crazy, but actually nodded sort of in agreement and i said I would think about it. still havnt decided thoug.
DH (37), DD (Jan 2011), DS (April 2013)
The CDC just changed the recommendations last month I think.. All pregnant women should recieve it with EACH pregnancy regardless of their last shot. I asked my OB about it today. I had my last shot in July 2011. He said for those planning to BF they give the shot right after they deliver and for those that will formula feed they prefer to give in in the last month of pregnancy so baby gets the antibodies before birth.

Future of teen 'safe space' in Barre is uncertainJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Charlene Booth, right, and Dakota Austin, both of Barre, get help from Aldrich Public Library young adult program manager Sarah Costa, center, in the library's Teen Room on Wednesday.
BARRE — A new program that offers teens homework help, access to technology and more is going strong, according to its manager, but she says its first year could be its last if continued funding is not found.
Sarah Costa is the part-time manager of the Aldrich Public Library's pilot program for teens. She was hired in January to supervise the teen room created on the second floor of the library as part of its expansion in 2000.
Costa said an average of 12 teens a day use the program. The teen room is a place to use computers, eat free snacks and, of course, read. She has also brought in special programs including a self-defense course put on by Barre police and a screening of a zombie movie made by Norwich University students.
But she said the biggest thing the program offers is a safe place for teens to come and be themselves.
"There aren't a lot of options for that around here in terms of a supervised space that is still free and open to (teens)," she said.
The program was funded with $19,100 from Barre businessman Charlie Semprebon's bequest to the city. That pays for Costa's salary, special programs for teens and materials like computers, video games and new books. The money runs out at the end of December, and Costa said the library has agreed to pay her through its own budget until June so she can finish out the school year.
Costa is also the director of Calef Memorial Library in Washington.
She said the Aldrich is looking at numerous ways to keep the project going such as grants, support from AmeriCorps or simply incorporating the teen program into the library's budget. She is optimistic the program will continue past June.
It is offered Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and Costa said she stays at the library those days until it closes. The room is open every day but is not staffed Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
She said the biggest draw is the free food such as cookies and milk, pizza, juice and crackers. The food comes from Spaulding High School and subsidized by the federal government since Barre is a high-need area.
A big focus for Costa has been technology. She said the library participated in Teen Tech Week, where the teens learned about hardware and what is actually inside a computer. Costa has also focused on Internet security for teens, helping them with areas such as protecting their passwords.
"(The teens) are digital natives, but they don't always know the best way to use technology," she said.
Costa is working on establishing a teen advisory board for the library that would meet once a month. The board would give teens a voice in what programs the library offers and what books it buys, as well as a chance to lead programming themselves. Costa said she has some teens who are interested in joining the board and hopes to have it up and running within the next month.
So far, Costa said, the program has been evolving based on what she is seeing and what the teens are asking for.
"It's a totally different thing once the teens actually take ownership of (the program) and really direct things," she said.
In the last year, the program has purchased a used iMac and flip cameras so teens can make movies. Costa said the next things on the technology list are upgrading the current computers in the teen room and investing in a video game system so the library can host gaming nights.
If the library does find the funding to continue the program, Costa said, she has no idea what the program could look like in five years. She said the needs and interests of the teens will be totally different.
"If this program is doing what it should be doing, it will adapt to that," she said.

First, thanks for creating WP SC. It found it to be very efficient. Great job!
I would really like to cache files like the homepage, categories, feeds etc. However, I don't want to cache them using the same expiration date than posts/pages because they tend to be very dynamic.
It seems that having a different expire time for those would work well. Having posts preloaded until they are modified, and home+cat+tags... cached for only a few minutes would still help a busy site tremendously.
I'm saying that because I thought that the homepage would be cached until there's a new post, but that's not the case (let me know if WPSC does detect this - because my homepage is not getting updated in the cache)

I love this mountain. I've been here many times during my 4 trips to Utah.
The terrain is fantastic - It's got everything. Open Bowl, cruisers, trees, beginner, side country, back country.
I've seen people complain that there is too much traversing at Alta. I disagree. Take the Collins lift and find High Traverse. Wholly crap, its like a big marshmallow candy store. There is an unbelievable amount of wonderful routes every where you see. In fact, with the exception of avalanche ropes, if you see it you can ski it. Extrovert is an amazing cruiser. I have glided through Glory Hole chest deep in powder on more than 1 trip.
Alta has the best terrain and mountain layout of any mountain I've ever seen.
For 3 of my 4 trips we stayed in Park City and made day trips to different mountains. The last time there, we stayed right in the Little Cottonwood valley. This is definitely not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. All the hotels have a real lodge atmosphere. The meals are included in a 'family style' dining room. It realy worked for us. We were there to ski and enjoy the non skiing time with other like minded people.
We have done the zippy Park City thing and that is great. My comment is that the local Alta lodging is often overlooked and is a great way to enjoy the down time of the best skiing in the world.

I am trying to create a subclass which acts as a list of custom classes. However, I want the list to inherit the methods and attributes of the parent class and return a sum of the quantities of each item. I am attempting to do this using the
__getattribute__ method, but I cannot figure out how to pass arguments to callable attributes. The highly simplified code below should explain more clearly.
class Product:
def __init__(self,price,quantity):
def get_total_price(self,tax_rate):
return self.price*self.quantity*(1+tax_rate)
class Package(Product,list):
def __init__(self,*args):
def __getattribute__(self,*args):
name = args[0]
# the only argument passed is the name...
if name in dir(self[0]):
tot = 0
for product in self:
tot += getattr(product,name)#(need some way to pass the argument)
return sum
p1 = Product(2,4)
p2 = Product(1,6)
print p1.get_total_price(0.1) # returns 8.8
print p2.get_total_price(0.1) # returns 6.6
pkg = Package(p1,p2)
print pkg.get_total_price(0.1) #desired output is 15.4.
In reality I have many methods of the parent class which must be callable. I realize that I could manually override each one for the list-like subclass, but I would like to avoid that since more methods may be added to the parent class in the future and I would like a dynamic system. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!

High-energy surge tests emerging in IEEE and IEC standards are addressed. The results of modeling the application of a surge test to a family of commonly used varistor sizes (14, 20, and 32 mm in diameter) are reported. For each varistor size, the computations were performed for three levels of manufacturing tolerances on the varistor: nominal value, -10%, and +10%. It is concluded that a reexamination of the premises that led to the proposed IEC test specifications is necessary. The proposals in the new version of IEEE C62.41 appear more consistent with field experience

Really nice touch.
But is it really enough to stand out? Especially when the rest of the card is pretty plain and uninteresting.
As a business card I would say it has a nice touch to it. But, if I omit the die-cut design, its just another card. So the die-cut plays a pivotal role here. And for someone who wants to draw attention needs a more stand out card to make an impact on the minds of the clients. Subtlety seems not the right tool in this case. Should have been bold and at the same time classy and different. In fact its so subtle that sometimes the whole idea might go unnoticed.
Most importantly, the card does not say anything about the person's distinct quality of expertise in the particular field.

Services.exe is a very important executable file associated with the Windows operating system. Called Service Control Manager, it runs in the background and launches other applications that are needed to run during startup and shutdown. It's also in charge of programs installed on your computer that run automatically or as needed. The file is located at C:\Windows\system32\services.exe. If you find another services.exe elsewhere, it is probably malicious.
When you boot your computer, services.exe initially calls on those Windows applications needed to run your computer. After which, it calls on third-party applications you've authorized to run during startup to load. The reverse happens during shutdown. Services.exe first kills off the applications currently running on your computer then it terminates Windows applications, which shuts down your computer.
What It Runs
Some applications you install run even without you actively running them. It is the job of the services.exe to run these applications for you. Before services.exe can run them, they need to be registered first in your system for services.exe to recognize them and call on them to run. Examples of these applications are your anti-virus, instant messaging, your speakers and the system clock.
Service Management Console
Services.exe has a console that you can use to check what services are running in your computer. It shows you the names of the services running, a brief description of what they do and whether they are set to run automatically, manually or are disabled. It also allows you to start, stop or disable services. To launch the console, go to the Start screen and "services.msc" (without the quotes). Press "Enter."
MS Configuration Tool
There are a host of applications that run when you start up your computer. Some of these are crucial Windows applications, while others are applications you've installed in your computer, which you've allowed to run every time you boot your computer. For Windows XP and newer Windows operating systems, the Microsoft configuration tool allows you to see and edit which services run during startup. To launch this tool, type "msconfig" (without the quotes) at the Start Screen and press "Enter."
When installing applications, take into account that running them during startup can slow down your computer. If you have many running, no matter how fast or powerful your computer is, it will take a long time to finish loading all of them during startup and will take a long time to terminate all of them during shutdown. You can opt not to run unnecessary applications automatically during startup and simply set them to run manually through the service management console.
