ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಸ್ಲೋ ಆಗೋದನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸೋದು

ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರನ್ನು ನಂಬುವಷ್ಟು ಬೇರಾವುದನ್ನೂ ನೀವು ನಂಬಲಾರಿರಿ. ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳು, ವೀಡಿಯೋಗಳು, ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಹಾಡುಗಳು, ಮಹತ್ವದ ಡಾಕ್ಯುಮೆಂಟುಗಳು... ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಧೈರ್ಯವಾಗಿಯೇ ಸೇವ್ ಮಾಡಿರುತ್ತೀರಿ. ಆದರೆ ಅದೊಂದು ದಿನ, ದಿಢೀರ್ ಆಗಿ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಸ್ಲೋ ಆಗಿಬಿಡುತ್ತದೆ, ಅಥವಾ ವಿನಾಕಾರಣ ಕೈಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ, ವೈರಸ್ ಬಾಧೆಯಿಂದಾಗಿ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಆನ್ ಆಗೋದೇ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ. ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು ಸಂಪಾದಿಸಿದ್ದ ಆ ಫೈಲುಗಳ ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಹೇಗೆ ಅಂತೇನಾದರೂ ಯೋಚಿಸಿದ್ದೀರಾ?
ಕೆಲವರ ಡೆಸ್ಕ್‌ಟಾಪ್/ಲ್ಯಾಪ್‌ಟಾಪ್ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರುಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ರಾಶಿ ರಾಶಿ ಫೈಲುಗಳು ಡೆಸ್ಕ್‌ಟಾಪ್ (ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಆನ್ ಆದಾಗ ಮಾನಿಟರ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮೊದಲು ನಮಗೆ ಕಾಣಿಸುವ ಸ್ಥಳ) ಇಡೀ ಆವರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿರುತ್ತವೆ! ಮತ್ತು ಇಂಥವರು 'ನನ್ನ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಸ್ಲೋ ಆಗಿದೆ, ಒಂದು ಫೈಲ್ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ, ಓಪನ್ ಆಗಲು ಐದಾರು ನಿಮಿಷಗಳೇ ಬೇಕು' ಅಂತೆಲ್ಲಾ ದೂರುವುದನ್ನೂ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಣೆ ಸ್ಲೋ ಆಗದಂತಿರಲು ಹಾಗೂ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಬಳಕೆಯ ಮೂಲಭೂತ ರೂಲ್‌ಗಳಲ್ಲೊಂದು ಎಂದರೆ, ಯಾವುದೇ ಫೈಲ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು 'ಸಿ' ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇವ್ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು. ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರಿನ ಹಾರ್ಡ್ ಡಿಸ್ಕ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಲಭ್ಯವಿರುವ ಸ್ಥಳಾವಕಾಶವನ್ನು (ಸ್ಟೋರೇಜ್) ಹಲವಾರು ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ಗಳಾಗಿ (ಸಿ, ಡಿ ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ) ವಿಭಾಗಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ (ಪಾರ್ಟಿಷನ್). ಅವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಡ್ರೈವ್ 'ಸಿ' ಎಂಬುದು ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಚರಣಾ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶ (ಓಎಸ್) ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಎಲ್ಲ ಪ್ರೋಗ್ರಾಂಗಳು, ಅಪ್ಲಿಕೇಶನ್‌ಗಳ ಮೂಲಾಧಾರ. ಅದನ್ನು ಸ್ವಚ್ಛವಾಗಿ ಇರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡರೆ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರಿನ ವೇಗಕ್ಕೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ತೊಂದರೆಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದ ಮೊದಲ ಕಾರ್ಯವೆಂದರೆ, ಸಿಕ್ಕಸಿಕ್ಕಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇವ್ ಮಾಡುವ ಅಭ್ಯಾಸವನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಬೇಕು. ಡೆಸ್ಕ್‌ ಟಾಪ್, ಮೈ ಡಾಕ್ಯುಮೆಂಟ್ಸ್, ಮೈ ಪಿಕ್ಚರ್ಸ್, ಮೈ ಮ್ಯೂಸಿಕ್, ಮೈ ವೀಡಿಯೋ ...ಮುಂತಾಗಿ ಡೀಫಾಲ್ಟ್ ಆಗಿ ಸೇವ್ ಆಗುವ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳೆಲ್ಲವೂ ಇರುವುದು ಸಿ ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ನಲ್ಲೇ ಎಂಬುದು ನೆನಪಿನಲ್ಲಿರಲಿ.
ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರಿಗೇನಾದರೂ ಹಾನಿಯಾದರೆ (ಕರಪ್ಟ್‌ ಆದರೆ) ಅಥವಾ ವೈರಸ್ ದಾಳಿಯಾದರೆ, ಮೊದಲು ಬಲಿಯಾಗುವುದು ಸಿ ಡ್ರೈವ್. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಚಿತ್ರ, ಹಾಡು, ಡಾಕ್ಯುಮೆಂಟ್ ಮತ್ತಿತರ ಫೈಲುಗಳೆಲ್ಲವೂ ಮರಳಿ ದೊರೆಯದಷ್ಟು ಹಾನಿಗೀಡಾಗಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ, ಬೇರೆ ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ (ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ ಡಿ ಅಥವಾ ಇ) ಸೇವ್ ಆಗಿರುವವು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿರುತ್ತವೆ. ಇದಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೇ ಸಿ ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಏನೂ ಇಡಬಾರದು, ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಬೇರೆ ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಫೋಲ್ಡರ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ರಚಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಸೇವ್ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು. ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯವೆಂದಾದರೆ ಮಾತ್ರ, ಡೆಸ್ಕ್ ಟಾಪ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ತಾತ್ಕಾಲಿಕವಾಗಿ ಸೇವ್ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು, ಕೆಲಸ ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳಿಸಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ಅದನ್ನು ಬೇರೆ ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ಗೆ ವರ್ಗಾಯಿಸುವುದು ಒಳಿತು.
ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಕೆಟ್ಟಾಗ ಅದನ್ನು 'ಫಾರ್ಮ್ಯಾಟ್ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು' ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೀರಿ. ಇದನ್ನು ಸರಳವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುವುದಾದರೆ, ಎಲ್ಲ ಫೈಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಡಿಲೀಟ್ ಮಾಡಿ, ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರಿನ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಚರಣಾ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶವನ್ನು ಹೊಚ್ಚ ಹೊಸದರಂತೆ ಆಗಿಸುವ ಕ್ರಿಯೆ. ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಸಂದರ್ಭಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಸಿ ಡ್ರೈವ್ ಮಾತ್ರ ಫಾರ್ಮ್ಯಾಟ್ ಮಾಡಿದರೂ ಸಾಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಬೇರೆ ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಫೈಲ್‌ಗಳು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿರುತ್ತವೆ.
ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು ನೀವು ಯಾವುದೋ ಲೇಖನ ಸಿದ್ಧ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ, ಅದು ಇನ್ನೇನು ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳ್ಳುವ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾಗ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಹ್ಯಾಂಗ್ ಆಗಿಯೋ, ದಿಢೀರ್ ಆಫ್ ಆಗಿಯೋ, ಕೊನೆಗೆ ಫಾರ್ಮ್ಯಾಟ್ ಮಾಡುವುದೊಂದೇ ದಾರಿ ಎಂಬಂತಾಗಿಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಫೈಲ್ ಮತ್ತೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಸಿಗುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳು ತೀರಾ ಕ್ಷೀಣ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಮುನ್ನೆಚ್ಚರಿಕೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು, ಫೈಲ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಯಾವತ್ತೂ ಸಿ ಡ್ರೈವ್‌ಗೆ ಹೊರತಾದ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಲ್ಲೇ ಸೇವ್ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಅಗತ್ಯ.ಲೇಖನ ಬರೆಯವಾಗಲಂತೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೈ Ctrl+S (ಸೇವ್) ಸದಾ ಬಳಸುತ್ತಿರಲಿ. ಎರಡೆರಡು ಕಡೆ ಸೇವ್ ಮಾಡಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡರೆ ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು.

Withholding of 10% gratuity from the retiring Government servants — clarification

No.20/1611998-P&PW (F)
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare
3′d Floor, Lok Nayak Bhawan,
Khan Market, New Delhi-110 003
Dated the 11th July, 2013.
OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Withholding of 10% gratuity from the retiring Government servants — clarification regarding.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s OM of even number dated the 19th February 2013 on the above cited subject and to say that this Department is still receiving representations from individuals and Pensioners Associations that Government Departments have been withholding 10% of the amount of gratuity from retirees even when they had not been provided any Government accommodation. This is in contravention of existing instructions.
2 The recovery and adjustment of Govt. dues from retirement gratuity is regulated under Rules 71 to 73 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. Rule (1) to (3) of Rule 72 ibid provide for recovery of actual amount of Govt. dues in respect of Govt. accommodation from pay & allowances before retirement and from Retirement Gratuity. Sub rule (5) of Rule 72 ibid stipulates that if, in any particular case, it is not possible for the Directorate of Estates to determine the outstanding licence fee, that Directorate shall inform the Head of Office that ten per cent of gratuity may be withheld pending receipt of further information. Further, if no Government accommodation is allotted to a Government servant, in accordance with Dte of Estate’s OM No.18011/5/1990-Pol-III dated 12.10.2010, it is for the Administrative Ministry to issue an `NDC”.
3. As regards recovery in respect of ‘Govt. dues’ other than those pertaining to Govt.accommodation, the Head of Office is required to complete assessment of such dues eight months prior to the date of retirement [Rule 73(2)]. The actual amount of such dues and the dues which come to notice subsequently and remain outstanding are to be adjusted against the amount of retirement gratuity becoming payable to the Govt. servant on retirement.
4. It is, therefore, clear that there is no provision for withholding any part of gratuity at the time of retirement for the purpose of recovery of outstanding government dues other than those pertaining to government accommodation and the onus of timely collection of license fee is on the Directorate of Estates. If the Directorate of Estate does not specifically inform the Administrative Department of the outstanding dues and requests for withholding of 10% gratuity for the outstanding license fee, Gratuity cannot be withheld on this account. The only other circumstance under which gratuity can be withheld is in case of ongoing disciplinary proceedings against the Government servant. Thus the Pay and Accounts Officer shall not withhold any gratuity unless the Head of Office
(a) encloses instructions received from Directorate of Estate for withholding of 10% gratuity for outstanding license fee or
(b) Informs of ongoing disciplinary proceedings.
These instructions are for strict compliance of all Administrative Ministries/ Departments.
5. A revised FORM 8 — form of letter to the Accounts Officer forwarding the pension papers ofGovernment servant is also enclosed. Formal amendment in the CCS(Pension) Rules for revised Form 8 will be notified later.
