If your a firefox lover like me then you should try this.

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. (This
means it will make 30 requests at once.)

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0"(ZERO).
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

 In the latest UFO riddle to grip Australia, a reader has spotted what appears to be a flying saucer hovering directly above Millers Point while checking out Google Maps.

The bizarre discovery, near the Sydney Harbour Bridge, comes at the end of a year that was full of claims of such close encounters.

Careful study of the Google picture isn't quite as helpful, reports the Courier Mail.

Photograph experts have cautioned that it could be a distortion - but Google didn't deny it was an alien craft.

A spokesman joked: "The interplanetary internet project is clearly gaining momentum quicker than we thought!"

"Of course, as with human-owned vehicles in Google street view, the licence plates on this UFO are not identifiable," he added. (ANI)

 
Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

1.) Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" (without the quotes).

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

2.) Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

3.) Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

4.) "By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

5.) So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

That's It !!

Hey Friends, if u want to see Star wars movie in ur computer system then, follow the steps:-


1. Ur operating system should be XP.

2.Then connect to the internet.

3.Then finally type " telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl " into the RUN menu.





















Microsoft hid a version of Star Wars done entirely with ASCII in the Windows XP operating system.

Heres how you do it:


1.)Take any headphone you want. Don't matter if its the buds or the ones that go around your ear.

2.)Open up Sound Recorder(If your using Windows)

3.)Plugin your headphones in the Pink Jack on your Laptop or Desktop.

4.)Press the record button on Sound Recorder and put the left part up to your mouth and make noise. Do the same for the right side. Which ever part you get results from(you will know this by the sound recorder showing the movement of sound in the display)



There you go. Thats it. Iv tried this with every pair of headphones I own. Iv bought all mine from the dollar store, very very very cheap pair and they work. The same should work for you. Now the next time someone asks if you have a mic and you say no, Think again. You might have to talk a little louder than normal, but at least you have a Mic.

Works great with Skype, MSN or any chat clients. ENJOY!

Note: Might not work for some HeadPhones.

Step #1:
Open Notepad and copy the below code.

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

Step #2:
Save as locker.bat.

Thats it !!....your folder lock is ready for use !!



Now, How to use this customized Folder lock:

Step #1
First things first, right click the locker.bat file you just created and Open With "Notepad" (or with any of the editing tools you have.). Find the line:

if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL

Approximately 24th Line in the code. Type in your password where it says "type your password here" (without quotes). For Example:

if NOT %pass%==sevenwonders goto FAIL

Here, sevenwonders is the password. Save it.

Customising is Over !!


How to use the Customised Folder Lock:

Step #1
When you run the Locker.bat file for the first time, it will automatically create a folder named "Locker" in present working folder.


Step #2
Copy the important files in the Locker Folder.

Step #3
Double Click on the "locker.bat" file again. It will prompt you :

Are you sure you want to lock the folder ?

Step #4
Press Y for Yes or N for No.

Thats it....your Folder is locked.




To unlock the folder follow the below steps:

Step #1
Double Click on the Locker.bat once again. It will prompt you for the password.

Step #2
Enter the password you entered in the locker.bat file earlier while creating the BATCH file.

Step #3
Press Enter...

Your folder is back again !!

4. Select Go to URL-address.

6. Have fun!

Hope you remember this in case all else should fail!
