User name and Profile name changing procedure in Facebook

Facebook identity is unique and based on two unique identities from user end. One is user e-mail address and another is user ID which is user name. But your profile name is not unique.

When we unique search for known people on Facebook we simply search by e-mail address or link with user name. But, when we do not know e-mail or user id, then we search for profile name.

So, profile name is also important in Facebook to find people; it should be meaningful because some of your old friend can find you by your name very easily from search. If your profile name is not real, then change it to real name and help your fellows to find you easily.

Here I describe steps for changing profile name easily:-

1. Go to Your profile->Click dropdown right side of “Home” ->Select Account Settings.

2. In the left pane select “General”. In General Account Settings.

3. Click edit link right side of Name. Here you enter Your First, Middle (Optional) and Last name and select Display as which will be your profile display name.

4. Now enter your Facebook password. And click Save changes, It may not effect immediately so no need to worry; it will take maximum 24 hrs for activation.

Brief and Examples on Simplex, Half-Duplex, Full-Duplex Transmission

In data communication, there are three types of communication styles; they are Simplex, Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex. Here we discuss about their characteristics with examples. Simplex: In this communication style data can send only and basically it is one way or uni-direction communication. This type of communication is not widely used for transmit trusted data because it can not send any error or control signal to sender terminal. This style of communication is vastly used in Radio and TV where we can see and hear or receive data only but we can not send any information data by the same channel. Half-Duplex: Half-Duplex is another type of communication style where data can and send and receive but not at the same time.

Here we are talking about the importance of system date and time and procedure to restrict user from changing system date and time from front end or user end. So we need to keep it intact without any unnecessary changes. If any user except can have the right to change date and time from user end, then it will fall us in deep trouble specially when we run software which take entry time input from end user end. There are also many software mechanisms which does not allow date and time difference to start up.  For above reason we do not give user access to change date and time from user end. We can limit the user from this feature. Here I show steps how we can control user access in windows operating systems. Steps to follow:- 1. Go to "Start menu" an
