Visual and Sound Related
1. Using minimal Visual Effects
Disabling certain (or all) visual effects can definitely enhance performance. To disable visual effects, do the following:

Press Windows key and while holding it down, press Pause/Break key.
In the window that appears, click on Advanced system settings in the left side pane.
In the Advanced tab, under Performance Section, click on Settings
In the Performance Options window (refer figure) that appears, under Visual Effects tab, disable the options that you do not need. Or simply selecting ‘Adjust for best performance‘ will disable all options.
After disabling the option, click Apply and then OK.

Doing the above might make the screen less attractive. But, the performance will surely get a boost.

2. Using minimal Sound Effects
For disabling sound effects, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type mmsys.cpl and press Enter
In the Sound window (refer figure) that appears click on Sounds tab
Set the Sounds scheme to ‘No Sounds‘
You could set only the essential sounds if needed in the Program Events, by selecting the specific event and then choosing the sound from the Sounds drop-down menu below.
You can as well disable the "Play Windows Startup sound" option.
After the settings are done, click Apply and OK.

Software and Services related

1. Run a trusted Anti-Virus program
Ensure that you have a good anti-virus software loaded on your laptop/computer. This will ensure that no malware or spyware gets planted in your system. Without such protection software, there are chances of third party malware and virus being installed or stored on your system, causing harmful effects and also eating up precious space.

2. Install only essential software
Ensure that you install only that software which you need. If you install any trial software and find out that you don’t really need it, uninstall and delete it immediately. Else, they might hog precious disk space, RAM and processor cycles. If you’ve installed a software, which you are unable to get rid of, and which is hampering the normal functioning of your laptop, then you might have to format your hard drive. Be aware that formatting your hard drive might wipe out all your data. Therefore it is best you take a back-up before going ahead with formatting.

3. Disable or make unneeded services Manual
Some processes and services, which might not really be necessary, are by default made to start automatically once the system starts up. They will consume RAM as well as the processor’s attention, slowing down other important tasks. It is best to disable them. For this, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type services.msc and press Enter
Go to Services & Applications > Services. You’ll see the Services window (refer figure).
Right-click on a service that you wish to set to manual or disable. If the service is already started, Stop it first.
Once the service is stopped, again right-click on it and select Properties.
In the Startup type, you can either set the service to Manual, if you would be using it later, or Disable it, if not needed.
Once done, you can close the window.

4. Disabling Unwanted Start-up programs to speed up System Start-up
Some programs are set to start during system start-up. These might slow down the start-up process. Programs that are not really needed during start-up can be disabled. For this, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type msconfig and press Enter.
In the System Configuration window (refer figure), go to Startup.
Uncheck the box next to those processes that are not important for start-up. This will disable them.
Once you’ve disabled the processes, click Apply and OK.

Hard Drive related

1. Clean up the hard drive
Remove unwanted files, like temp files, downloaded program files, recycle bin, etc. You could use Disk Cleanup option to do this, as follows:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
The system will first calculate how much space can be freed up this way. In the Disk Cleanup window (refer figure) that appears, select the files in that need to be deleted under the Files to delete list.
For deleting ‘System Restore‘ and ‘Shadow copy‘ files, click "Clean up system files" and then on "More Options" tab
Finally click OK. You’ll be prompted again before the deletion. Click Yes.

2. Enable Write caching on device
This is an option which allows the OS to flush changed data to the hard disk when the system is idle, so that performance is not affected when in use. For enabling this, do the following:

Press Windows key and while holding it down, press Pause/Break key.
In the window that appears, click on Device Manager in the left hand pane.
In the next window that appears, expand Disk drives.
The drop-down list will show the hard drive. Right-click on it and select Properties.
Click the Policies tab in the Device Properties window (refer figure).
Check the box next to "Enable write caching on the device"
You can as well check the box next to "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" and then click OK.

Note: However, there is one disadvantage in enabling these options – if there is a power outage or a system crash, data might be lost or corrupted. If you have a secondary power supply, like a UPS, you could go ahead with checking these options.

3. Perform Disk Defragmentation
When there is no sufficient space to store in a hard drive, the OS splits the file into parts and stores it in different areas on the hard drive. Defragmenting allows all these parts to be stored in contiguous memory locations. For defragmenting disk do the following:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter
In the window (refer figure) that appears, click on the drive that you want to defragment and then click Analyze disk.
This will estimate the time required for the process. When done click on Defragment disk.
Once done you can either View Report or click Close.

its all my friends i hope this tutorial helps to keep speed up their computer.

Turn Your Old Router into a Range-Boosting Wi-Fi Repeater

If you're upgrading to a faster, stronger wireless router, don't chuck your older Wi-Fi box. With the magic of DD-WRT, you can turn your older wireless router into a range-expanding Wi-Fi repeater to cover everywhere you need a connection.
The advent of wireless home networks grew slowly in the past decade, but reached the point at which nearly every home with a high-speed connection had a wireless router that shared Wi-Fi connections throughout the home. Now Wireless N has become the standard at electronics retailers, promising faster connectivity with your wireless devices, faster transfer and streaming speeds between devices, and better connectivity. So what's to be done with your home's first wireless router?

Full sizeOur suggestion is to install the open-source DD-WRT firmware on your router and turn it into a repeater for your main router, expanding your Wi-Fi signal to reach every nook and cranny of your house, and even into your backyard or garage, if needed. You'll be able to use the same password and security scheme, you won't need anything except a power outlet for the repeater when you're done, and most of your devices will automatically switch between the two signals when needed.

We've previously run down how to install DD-WRT on a Linksys router to give it many, many more features, including the repeater function we'll cover here. If you've already installed DD-WRT, then, skip to the section on repeater configuration. One notable difference in this guide, too, is that I'm installing a custom build of DD-WRT, the "micro" flavor, on a Linksys WRT54G ver. 6, or "version 6." Adam wrote his original guide in 2006, with a fully-DD-WRT-compatible Linksys WRT54GL router, and at that point, those who picked up a blue Linksys box without knowing about open-source firmware were pretty much stuck. Now there's a huge array of supported devices, and even my sadly restricted Linksys can run a Micro build, and Micro now includes a repeater function.
Update: A Note on Speed

Full sizeSome intrepid bandwidth watchers, Will Smith among them, have pointed out that their own experiments with repeating signals has left them with slower connections. To be honest, I was using the repeater mostly for Google Reader in bed, and browsing and web working from outside the house, so I hadn't seen a noticeable drop in speed. A few tests at SpeedTest.net tell the tale. Pictured at left here is the result from my main router, a Buffalo model with Wireless N (detailed here), connecting from my upstairs office to the downstairs living room, then Buffalo, NY to Toronto, ON.

Full sizeThis result is through the modified Linksys WRT54G ver. 6 router about 10 feet away, connected as a repeater to the Buffalo router downstairs, and then tested again through Toronto. There is, as you can see, a download speed difference, and if I'd been using my Wireless N modem, it might be even more severe. So take a repeater for what it is—a slight trade-off in speed for a greater reach, with your mileage varying based on your hardware and connection. You might also note, though, that using SpeedTest's Android app, I actually received better download speeds from my office through the repeater than through the main router—for a smaller antenna, perhaps, connectivity can sometimes win over latency concerns.

What You'll Need

Full size
• Compatible router: Grab that old-but-still-works router and flip it over. Get the model number off the label, and write down the MAC address, while you're at it—the locations for both, on a standard Linksys "blue box," are pictured above. Type the first few characters of your model number into DD-WRT's router database, and look for your model to pop up. If you get any kind of green "Yes" listed with your model, you're in the clear—even the most pared-down DD-WRT build, micro, supports the repeater function.

Full size• Firmware files for your router: In that same router database, click on the line that relates to your router model, then grab all the files listed there. You may not end up using all of them, but once you've taken your router offline, even if it's not your main router, you'll want to have all your files available offline.

• Print-out of your instructions:There's a good chance, if you've got a fairly popular router, that you'll have access to specific router model instructions on the DD-WRT wiki. You'll usually see a link on the same page as your firmware files; if not, go ahead and search the wiki. If you don't have a printer, or hate wasting paper, use a print-to-PDF tool like doPDF or the Nitro PDF Reader for Windows, or the built-in PDF functions in Mac or Linux. The reason, again, is that you want to be prepared in case you lose internet connectivity on one or more routers during the flash process.
• Ethernet cable & computer with Ethernet port: Enough cable to comfortably reach from your computer to the router you're working on, and a computer without any networking problems that you know of.
• A pen and paper: The paper for notes, and the pen for both writing and pressing and holding down the reset button on your router.
• At least an hour's time, and patience: Instructions for most routers are laid out in step-by-step detail, with very specific instructions. Even so, you do not want to rush things, or load the wrong file at the wrong time. Doing so opens the potential for a "bricked" router, one that doesn't work and can't be accessed or set back to its default, factory-fresh state. That's not going to happen to the patient, cautious firmware flasher, though.
Get Started

As stated above, different routers will take different paths to installing DD-WRT. There are some common procedures, and a general path, to getting it installed, though, so you can read along as I follow the DD-WRT Wiki's instructions for a WRT54G version 6 installation.
• Do a hard (30/30/30) reset on your router: A "hard" reset, or a "30/30/30," means locating the reset notch on the back of your router, then inserting a pen and holding it there for a total of 90 seconds—30 seconds at first with the power on, then yank the power cord and wait another 30, then plug the power cord back in and wait 30 seconds, all while still holding the pen. It seems a bit excessive, but trust me—I've had friends with electronic engineering skills explain just how finicky, and sometimes random, physical memory chips like those in routers can be at holding their settings or otherwise not completely blanking out.
• Set a static IP address on your computer: Most DD-WRT guides want you to set your computer's IP address, the one it draws from your router, to 192.168.1.7, and set a subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. How do you do this in your computer, without the router being accessible?

Full sizeHead to Windows' Network and Sharing Center, usually by right-clicking on your network connection icon in the system tray, or heading there through the Control Panel. In the left-hand panel, click "Change adapter settings," then right-click on your "Local Area Connection" offering and select Properties. Under the Network tab, select the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and hit the Properties button. Now in the General tab, change the first radio switch button to "Use the following IP address:", then enter 192.168.1.7 in the IP Address field, and 255.255.255.0 should fill itself in under "Subnet mask." Make sure you've got the IP entered correctly—Windows can skip the "7" part if there's only a single digit in the third section—and hit OK when you're done.

Firmware Installation

Now we're gonna get serious. Connect the Ethernet cable between your computer and the router—be sure to insert the cable into one of the numbered ports, not the port labeled "Internet" that's slightly distanced from the others. Turn off any wireless connection to your main router, unplug any broadband cellular modems, and so forth.

Full sizeIn the case of my WRT54G ver. 6, I had to create a customized flashing image for my router, with a designated MAC address written in. The MAC address is a supposedly unique identifier given to all computer hardware that can access the internet, one that allows networks to allow and block hardware based on this address. Your internet provider and the the cable modem they provided also tracks the MAC address of your router, and can deny service if a different router than the one the modem is used to servicing suddenly appears. So I followed the instructions for downloading GV5Flash.zip, unpacking its contents, then running the vximgtoolgui application and filling in the MAC address I wrote down from underneath my router, and pointing the app at a place to drop the resulting .bin file.

Now you're going to pull off one of those "hard," or 30/30/30 power cycles—hold down reset for 30 seconds plugged in, 30 unplugged, then 30 seconds again plugged in. When you're done, wait a few seconds, open your browser (making sure your computer's still connected by cable), point it to http://192.168.1.1, and youshould get a prompt for a username and password. The default for my router in this mode is "root/admin"—yours can likely be found at RouterPasswords.com, or in your own DD-WRT instructions. After entering that combo, you should see the default router screen. A Linksys default usually looks like this:

In most cases, you're next going to head to the Administration section (circled in the pic), then click the Firmware Upgrade sub-section. It's usually a simple affair: a Browse button to find the file you want to upload, and an OK/Apply button to set it in motion. From here on out, unless you have my same exact router, you'll possibly have a different set of one or two files to upload, in a very particular order—follow your own DD-WRT customized instructions. In general, though, you'll be doing a procedure along these lines:

Uploading a "prep" file that gets your router ready for a new firmware.
Waiting a solid five minutes—no cheating.
"Power cycle" the router (a simple unplug, 30-second wait, then re-plug).
Re-connect to 192.168.1.1, see the "Management Mode" window, then upload your (possibly customized) specific DD-WRT image and hit Apply.
Full sizeAfter seeing this nice little "Upgrade Success" message, wait another full, honest five minutes.
Full size
Open a TFTP program, usually provided among your DD-WRT files, and point it at 192.168.1.1 (your router). Select your specific DD-WRT firmware (a micro build, in my case), then set the retries to 99—But! Before hitting "Upgrade," power cycle your router, wait a few seconds after re-powering, then go for it. When your TFTP app has a green light and success message, wait another full five minutes, then come on back.
Undo the static IP setup you put in place on your computer from the Network and Sharing settings. Unplug and re-plug your cable, then open a browser. If you can connect to 192.168.1.1 on your computer browser and see a setup page for DD-WRT, do a (final) 30/30/30 "hard" reset on your router, then check that you still see the DD-WRT setup. If so, you're all set up!

Setting Up the Repeater

Now that you've got your oldie-but-goodie router set up with DD-WRT, you can set it up to pick up the signal from your primary router and re-broadcast it within its own radius. Here's how to do that.
With your computer still hooked up to the now-secondary router, head into the DD-WRT setup screen. It will ask you to set a better password and username at first, so go ahead and do that—you'll probably want to set up the same admin/password as your primary router to avoid confusion. Once you're in, your setup screen will look something like this, as my Micro setup on my Linksys appears:

Full sizeFirst up, click on the Wireless tab, then choose Basic Settings. Switch "Wireless Mode" to "Repeater," and the "Wireless Network Name" to the same as the main router you're going to be re-broadcasting. Don't worry about the bridged/unbridged radio buttons—they'll set themselves later. Hit the "Save" button at the very bottom, but donot hit "Apply Settings" just yet.

Full sizeIn the "Virtual Interfaces" section, below that main "Wireless Physical Interfaces" section you just modified, hit the "Add" button, then enter a new name for your repeater—don't use the same as your router, or else suffer the wrath of confused devices. Adding "Repeater" or "2" to the end of your main router's name is pretty sensible in most cases. If you prefer an access point that doesn't broadcast its name, save that for switching off later—while we're testing our repeater, we'll be using basic settings to make sure the connection goes through. Hit the "Save" button at the bottom again.

Full size
With the main Wireless tab still selected, head to the "Wireless Security" sub-tab to the right. You'll see two interfaces again—a "Physical Interface" and a "Virtual Interface." In the "Physical Interface" section at the top, fill in thesame exact security settings as your primary router—the security mode, the algorithm (TKIP or AES, generally), and the password any device would use to connect. You might need to jump back into your primary router settings to confirm these—that's fine, but do so from another device. Under the "Virtual Interface" section, set up the same exact security settings as your primary router, again. Hit the "Save" key at very bottom again and, again, avoid "Apply Settings" for the moment.

Full sizeJump over to the Setup tab at the very top, then scroll down to the Network Setup section under Basic Setup. The main thing to do here is slightly alter the "Local IP Address" from what your primary router is. If you connect to your main router at 192.168.1.1, for example, set this repeater router to something like 192.168.2.1, or another number that you can remember in the second-to-last position. Hit (you guessed it!) Save.

Full sizehttp://cache.gawkera...b62ffc08191.jpgFinally, head to the Security tab up top, and in the Firewall section, disable the "SPI Firewall," and un-check everything under the "Block WAN Requests," except "Filter Multicast." Hit "Save" at the bottom one last time. Finally, head over to Administration, double-check that you've got your administrator password written down or remembered, and hit "Apply Settings" at the very bottom. Your router will reset itself now, so give it time to do so.

Unplug your computer's Ethernet cable, turn on a wireless device, and see if you can find your new repeater bridge. Connect to it, use the same password you'd use for the main router, and you should have success. If not, run through the steps and double-check your settings. DD-WRT's wiki page for WLAN Repeaters has a good deal of troubleshooting advice, so check there too.
You've now got a second Wi-Fi station in your house that picks up signal from the main router and offers it out to devices that are farther out. It's likely not as fast a connection between devices—it's wireless G, in most cases, as opposed to N. Then again, at this point, there are very, very few services or streaming applications that make full use of Wireless N's crazy bandwidth potential, so your Hulu streaming, web browsing, and other usual internet life will likely be unaffected.
In my own case, my wife and I don't have to use modern-day divining tricks in our very non-linear Victorian home to keep a spotty Wi-Fi signal to an iPod touch or Android phone, and a side patio has just become a preferred secondary home office for the summer. As a bonus, my closest neighbors now know that I'm a serious, seriousnerd when they fire up their laptops. Here's hoping you find similarly fun and free uses for a Wi-Fi repeater.

How to multiply 55 to itself faster

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:44:39 +0000

Here's a simple way on how to multiply 55 to itself faster?

We know that 55 multiply to itself can be represented by the figure :

55
x 55
====
3025

The answer is 3025.

NOW, any numbers being multiplied to itself like

55 times 55 ,

75 times 75 ,

35 times 35 or

25 times 25 ,

can have a faster answer being done from the mind. HOW??

For example? Taking 25 x 25 (25 times 25) can be taken AS

25
x 35
=====
625

NOTICED that 2 multiply to 3 is 6 then simply append 25. You will get 625. The trick is to ADD 10 to the number then proceed with FIRST NUMBER multiplication.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE for 55 multply to itself as in 55 x 55.

55
x 65
====
3025

NOTICED that 5 x 6 = 30 , so we append 25 to the number, the answer becomes 3025, which is the correct answer. Get it? Append 25 to 30 becomes 3025! So 55 times 55 equals 3025.

Enjoy!

How to make firefox faster

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:52:21 +0000

ok this works with pretty much every firefox version out there.

1st thing you need to do is open a new tab so you can see this guide.

in address bar type in
about:config

you'll get a notification, press the button that says "i'll be careful"

now you'll see a bunch of configs that you can change.

we only need to find 3 so use the find option at the top of the page and find the following then change them

1st one
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

2nd one
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30.

3rd one
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

now right click anywhere and make a new->integer
name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0"

restart firefox and try it out now. it will be much faster than before.

reasons for this is that firefox default connection is set to 4 connections at the same time.
changing it to 30 will make upto 30 connections to a server and download a webpage at much faster rate

also making nglayout will make a website show as soon as there is some data to be shown, while loading the rest of the website, you'll even visually see the site being loaded

Requirements: Must hold an account with procon (the configs validate privileges themselves)

If procon needs confirmation of your intentions it will ask "Did you mean [command]?", you can then answer !yes which will execute your confirmed command.
Argument Matching

Procon will match your command against a dictionary of possible arguments, then order the possibilities by those containing subsets of what you said.
Possibilities: "Phogue", "1349", "Sunder", "Zangen", "Sinex"

"Sangen" will match "Zangen" because only one letter is different and no possibilities have a subset of "Sangen"
"sin" will match "Sinex" because even though it is lexicographically closer to "1349", Sinex contains a subset of "sin"

Additional Information

This plugin is compatible with Basic In-Game Info's @help command
In game admin will use Vanilla bfbc2 data if available, then use punkbuster data if available.
The in game admin uses a combination of a spell checker with an auto-completer. As of 1.5 the spell checker will favour names/maps/etc that have a subset of what you typed exactly. Play around with it and let me know your horror stories with this feature on the forums =)
No one will see you issuing the commands (even you) if you prefix it with a '/'/@kick Phogue
(this text won't be displayed in the game)

How to use Detector

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:08:43 +0000

Detector is a platform independent tool which provides the ability to search Jaymod 2.1.7 user.db files for bans with a 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC address. It is able to read and handle several user.db files at once, which could either be added through the intuitive user interface or a file list for your comfort. Additionally, Detector allows you to export your results into a text file for further use and could easily handle more than 100,000 entries.

Workflow

Either click the + button in the lower left corner of the GUI or hit Ctrl+A to add a user.db file to the file list.
Once you hit Open, it will appear in the list and you will be able to remove it by selecting it and clicking the - button in the lower left corner of the GUI or hitting Ctrl+R.
Add as many files as needed to the file list and click on Load (or Ctrl+L) to load them into Detector. It will now display the amount of read entries and immediately show you all bans with a 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC address in the results panel on the right side of the GUI.
Hint: If you use Detector on a regular basis, you might want to create a filelist in order to save some time. To load a filelist, hit Ctrl+F and select the respective text file. Find the structure of the text file below.
Hint: You could export the the results to a text file for further use by clicking the Export button or hitting Ctrl+E.

Sample filelist

/path/to/the/first/user.db
/path/to/the/second/user.db
/path/to/the/third/user.db
/path/to/the/fourth/user.db

How to use Levelizer

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:50:54 +0000

Levelizer is a platform independent tool which provides the ability to prune Jaymod 2.1.7 user.db files in order to avoid the famous bug of people losing their admin levels. It allows you to specify a date and deletes all entries, which are older than this date. Levelizer features both a GUI and a CLI and is thus optimized for servers and automated cleanup routines. Apart from simply removing entires, Levelizer also updates the header information to reflect the changes.

Workflow

CLI

Levelizer requires you to specify three parameters: an input file (-i|--input), an output file (-o|--output and a date (-d|--date). The date parameter follows the american standard date format mm/dd/yy.
Sample call (short): java -jar Levelizer.jar -i /path/to/the/input/user.db -o /path/to/the/output/user.db -d 07/17/11
Sample call (long): java -jar Levelizer.jar --input /path/to/the/input/user.db --output /path/to/the/output/user.db --date 07/17/11

GUI

To load up the GUI, start Levelizer with the parameter --gui.
Sample call: java -jar Levelizer.jar --gui
Load a user.db file by hitting Ctrl+O and selecting the respective file. It will now display the amount of read entries.
Enter a date and hit the Delete button on the left side of the GUI. A pop-up window will tell you the amount of deleted entries.
Save the new user.db file by hitting Ctrl+S. To make sure everything went fine, it will display the amount of saved entries.
