Top Firefox 2 config tweaks


clipped by: Djiezes

Session restore

Fx 2.0 only: As a blogger and web mail user, it breaks my heart to recount how many times Ive composed a long post or email message, then accidentally closed the tab or browser and lost all my work. No more! With Firefox 2, set the browser.startup.page key to 3 to restore your browsing session - with form entries intact! - every time you start your browser or undo close tab after a wayward click. Note: By default, Firefox 2 automatically restores your session if your browser crashes - but this does it every time you restart your browser normally. Thanks for the tip, Arun!

Fetch only what you click

Fx .6 and up: Firefox has this wacky little feature that downloads pages from links it thinks you may click on pages you view, like the top result on a page of Google results. This means you use up bandwidth and CPU cycles and store history for web pages you may not have ever viewed. Creepy, eh? To stop that madness, set the network.prefetch-next key to false.

  • layout.spellcheckDefault = 2 turns on Firefox 2s spell-checking in input fields as well as textareas. (That means no more typos in Lifehacker post headlines!)
  • browser.urlbar.hideGoButton=true turns off the rarely-used Go button at the end of the address bar, for more room to see long URLs. Thanks, sister-ray!

    • See the MozillaZine about:config wiki page for the exhaustive list of Firefox preferences keys, their possible values and effects.

    Hillary Loses Senate Debate . . . Big Time


    clipped by: usmc6531
    Clip Source: www.newsmax.com

    On Friday night, Hillary Clinton finally had to face an unscripted, uncontrolled media event -- a debate with her feisty opponent John Spencer, the Republican candidate for Senator from New York this year.

    Spencer pinned her ears back with his opening statement when he declared: "I am the only person here who really wants to be the Senator from New York .... she wants to be president."

    And then he exploited the opening by reminding Hillary "youre not the president yet."

    During the debate, Spencer highlighted Hillarys vote against the NSAs wiretapping program and her efforts to kill the Patriot Act.

    John Spencer began his challenge to Hillary tonight. The race starts today.

    Hillarys huge financial advantage and her lead in the polls was of little use tonight because it was obvious that the empress has no clothes.

    While Hillary gave scripted, rehearsed answers, Spencer challenged her failure to deliver on her campaign promises of 200,000 new jobs and mocked her refusal to accept blame for anything, pinning the job loss on Bush and the North Korea bomb on the State Department.

    But beyond the words, there were the appearances. Hillary Clinton was a Richard Nixon look-alike tonight, wearing pancake makeup, featuring hooded eyes that never met the camera, and looking like she felt -- angry at having to waste time justifying her Senate tenure in something as trivial as an election.

    John Spencer may not beat Hillary, but he sure made her sweat tonight. If she wins by less than 12 points -- the margin Lazio lost by in 2000 --- she will have a lot of explaining to do. And John Spencer, may just be the guy to make it happen.

    YouTube gives up user data in media lawsuit


    clipped by: Kore7
    clippers remarks:
    Music company lawyers first warned and then sued individual users who downloaded their songs. Now it looks like piracy hunters for the movie studios are using the same technique against YouTube users.
    YouTubes decision to help Paramount track down Moukarbel stands in stark contrast to the philosophy of Google, which has fought the U.S. Justice Department over attempts to access data about consumers who use its search services.

    SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Its no secret that millions of Internet users every day watch copyright-infringing video clips on YouTube, the upstart Web site that Google Inc. has agreed to acquire for $1.65 billion.
    Whats less known is that YouTube has been watching the watchers.
    YouTubes actions in response to a subpoena it received in May show that it has been keeping tabs on users who post copyrighted material to its site -- and in one case shared the name of a user with lawyers from a Hollywood film studio.
    On May 24, lawyers for Viacom Inc.s Paramount Pictures convinced a federal judge in San Francisco to issue a subpoena requiring YouTube to turn over details about a user who uploaded dialog from the movie studios "Twin Towers," according to a copy of the document.
    YouTube promptly handed over the data to Paramount, which on June 16 sued the creator of the 12-minute clip, New York City-based filmmaker Chris Moukarbel, for copyright infringement, in federal court in Washington.
    That YouTube chose to turn over the data, rather than simply remove the offending video from its site -- as it did Friday when it agreed to take down 30,000 videos at the request of a group of Japanese media companies -- came as a surprise to copyright experts.
    "YouTube seems to have given up too easily," said Laurence P. Colton, an intellectual-property lawyer at the firm of Powell & Goldstein LLP in Atlanta.
    Its prompt legal capitulation suggests that YouTube users who post copyrighted material should not expect the company to protect them from media-business lawsuits, said Colton, whose firm wasnt involved in the Paramount subpoena or lawsuit and who learned of them from a MarketWatch reporter.

    Monolith perhaps largest found in Mexico


    clipped by: usmc6531
    Clip Source: news.yahoo.com

    MEXICO CITY - Archaeologists announced Friday that a monolith discovered earlier this month near Mexico Citys main square is perhaps the largest ever unearthed in the citys center.

    The monolith, found on Oct. 2, is rectangular and measures nearly 13 feet on its longest side. The largest monolith from the citys center until this latest discovery ? the circular Piedra del Sol, or Aztec Calendar, unearthed in 1790 ? has a diameter of 12 feet.

    A part of a newly discovered monolith is shown at the archaeological site of Templo Mayor, Mexico City Friday, Oct. 13, 2006, in Mexico City. Archaeologists announced Friday that a monolith discovered Oct. 2 near Mexico Citys main square is perhaps the largest ever found in the citys center. The newest discovery is rectangular and measures nearly 4 meters (13 feet) on its longest side. (AP Photo/Guillermo Arias)

    "At this time, the most important thing about this is its size," said the lead archaeologist on the excavation project, Alvaro Barrera.

    The 24-ton Aztec Calendar stone, however, is nearly double the weight of the newcomer, which is estimated to be a mere 14 tons.

    "Its tough to say which is the biggest, because the Piedra del Sol (Aztec Calendar) weighs more, but its circular radius is not as long as this monoliths largest side," said Angel Romas, information director of the Templo Mayor Museum, which is collaborating with the archaeological team.

    Muslims Slaughter 600 Christians


    clipped by: willhelm
    clippers remarks: Damn this Bush Administration..

    Muslims have slaughtered an estimated 600 Christians this week in Nigeria, according to the Christian Association of Nigeria.

    The carnage in Kano, in the countrys mostly Muslim north, began with a protest in retaliation for Muslim deaths hundreds of miles away in Yelwe, said the British-based monitor of persecution against Christians, Barnabas Fund, the Assist News service reported.

    Andrew Ubah, general secretary of the association, told Reuters Thursday the tally was based on reports from church leaders throughout the city. Twelve churches have been burned, he said.

    David Emmanuel, a factory worker, told Reuters he saw two truckloads of corpses Wednesday night and counted at least 30 bodies in the street.

    "Hundreds of people were killed," said Christian leader Mark Amani. "Some corpses were burned in wells. Even little children were killed.

    "The bodies of pregnant women were ripped open and their bodies burned," he said.

    A spokesman for Barnabas Fund said its source reports the killing of several hundred people "when defiant mobs of Muslim youths armed with clubs and machetes and cutlasses rampaged at about 1 a.m. on Thursday despite a police imposed curfew."

    "Mobs went from house to house looking for Christian victims and in some cases trapped the occupants inside and torched the houses," the Barnabas spokesman said. "Police have been issued orders to shoot armed rioters on sight."

    Its the visible Hanes Her Way panties that have pushed me over the edge.

    But whats really alarming about Kate Moss right now is not this sheer taffeta monstrosity, but rather her male accessory.� We havent mentioned Pete Doherty on here, ever, I dont think, mostly because this site isnt called Go Drug Yourself.� But I have just about had it with these two.

    Listen, weve all made bad choices in the romance department. I once dated a man who had no refrigerator because "it was too loud next to [his] head."� But does ANYONE ANYWHERE think Pete Doherty is a good bet romantically?� He has -- and I think I can say this without using the "allegedly" -- drug problems.� His teeth are a mess.� Hes often bleeding from the head.� He falls down a lot. Hes sweaty. He seems like it would be hard to have a conversation with him between the hours of 4 pm and noon. Hes a total fing mess, and hes the sort of boy who,� should you be dating him, prompts a lot of concerned conversations with your girlfriends including the words "loose cannon," "kind of greasy," and "your daughters well-being." Hes like the dating equivalent of wearing acid-washed short-shorts to your grandmothers funeral:� totally inappropriate to the point that people begin to wonder if youve had a head injury.

    How To Make Firefox Faster

    Heres something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

    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". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

    Halloween Ban on Black Cat Adoptions


    clipped by: JimEspo
    clippers remarks: POP! If you love black cats...

    BOISE, Idaho (Oct. 28) - A black cat wont cross your path this Halloween, not if a northern Idaho animal shelter can help it. Like many shelters around the country, the Kootenai Humane Society in Coeur dAlene is prohibiting black cat adoptions from now to Nov. 2, fearing the animals could be mistreated in Halloween pranks - or worse, sacrificed in some satanic ritual.

    "Its kind of an urban legend. But in the humane industry its pretty typical that shelters dont do adoptions of black cats or white bunnies because of the whole satanic sacrificial thing," Morgan said. "If we prevent one animal from getting hurt, then it serves its purpose."

    "If somebody comes in here and theyre strange enough that wed question why theyre adopting a black cat on Halloween, then were probably not going to adopt any animal to them," Fugit said from her Boise office. "It doesnt seem to be a justifiable reason for not adopting black cats. We are absolutely inundated with cats that need homes right now."

    Black cats tend to be adopted less often than other felines, Buchwald said.

    If nothing else, he said, the ban gives the shelter a chance to educate the public about other dangers pets may face during the Halloween season.

    "It gives us a chance to remind people about safety and their pets. Always make sure that you keep Halloween candy out of the reach of pets, and if you own any cat I would make sure it stays inside. Dogs can get frightened by all the kids in costume, and the constant door opening of trick-or-treating gives animals a chance to run away," he said.

While sparring over Iraq, Letterman interrupted the giant talking head saying he "doesnt care" what Bill has to say. When Bill O, in typical FAUX form, tried to suggest that Dave believes "Bush is an evil liar" and that "America is a bad country" Letterman comes back with the line of the month:
