Buying Condoms

A young man goes into a drug store to buy condoms. The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants.

"Well," he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot.

I want the condoms because I think tonight's "the" night.

We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out.

And I've got a feeling I'm gonna get lucky after that.

Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack."

The young man makes his purchase and leaves.

Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents.

He asks if he might give the blessing and they agree.

He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes.

The girl leans over to him and says,

"You never told me that you were such a religious person."
The boy leans over to her and whispers,

"You never told me that your father is a pharmacist."

E-Mail from the Afterlife

Humour

An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida, his wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.

When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email, unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her email address, he did his best to type it from memory.

Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before.

When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor in a dead faint, at the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen.....

DEAREST WIFE... JUST GOT CHECKED IN... EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW...

P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE.

Dog, Monkey and Leopard

Humour

Due to his owner's negligence, a dog became lost in the deepest jungles of Africa. Wandering around, the poor dog notices a leopard hading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

Just then, the dog noticed some bones laying on the ground close by. The dog immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching leopard. Just as the jungle cat is about to leap, the dog loudly says, "My, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the leopard slinks away. "That was too close," thought the leopard, "that dog nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a mischevious monkey had observed the entire scene, and decided to cause trouble for the dog, while getting on the good side of the leopard as well. The monkey dashed off after the leopard, to tell him what truly happened.

The dog saw the monkey dash off, and suspiciously tailed him from behind. He overhears the monkey spilling the beans, and quickly decides on a course of action, racing back to the pile of bones.

At the same time, the leopard has decided to take care of the dog once and for all. The monkey hops on the leopard's back, to watch the demise of the doomed dog. As the leopard approaches, he can hear the dog talking to himself: "Where's that lazy monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago for another leopard, and he's still not back!"

Hehehe....^^

Guide to Tweaking Firefox 3.5 Beta 4

Technology Trends, XP Tweaks

With Firefox 3 already at version 3.0.7, and version 3. 1 (or 3.5 if the rename rumors are true) just around the corner, I think it’s time to take a short break from all the netbook news and focus on a tweak guide for our favorite browser.
This compilation is not, in any way complete, but I will try to keep it regularly updated. If you have a guide or blog post that you think is useful and should be added to the list, feel free to contact me with the details and l’ll add your post to the this list.

Ultimate Guide to Tweaking Firefox 3

If you still don’t have it installed, Get Firefox 3 now.

Starer Guide for Firefox 3

If you need an in depth starter’s guide to Firefox 3, read up DRIA’s Field Guide for Firefox 3 for a detailed view of features Firefox 3 brings with it. Not feeling up to reading up all that? Read up Lifehacker’s highlight of the top 10 Firefox 3 features to get you started.

If you don’t feel that the starter’s guide is for you, why not start out with Lifehacker’s Firefox 3 power user guide. Note that if you’re a beginner with Firefox, or computing mainly, this will be a source of headaches.

Read all that? Now that you’re up-to-date with the features that Firefox 3 carries, let’s start tweaking.

Tweaking the Smart Location Bar

Admit it, not everyone LIKES the Smart Location Bar AKA Awesome Bar. Sure it’s intuitive but most folks would want the old Location Bar over the confusing jumble of suggestions given by the Awesome Bar. Most of folkswould be satisfied with just filtering the results to ignore some sources (like history, bookmarks, etc)

Here are 7 easy tweaks you can try to tame it. Edit these entries in about:config as follows:

Make the autocomplete menu show only typed addresses and not visited or bookmarked
```
browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped  = TRUE
```
Set the autocomplete menu to single line suggestions by installing the oldbar extension.
Change the number of suggestions displayed in the autocomplete menu
```
browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
```
Hide the star button if you prefer to use the Bookmarks menu or a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + D)
- Open your userChrome.css file located in your profile folder.
- Add this line to the end of the file: #star-button {display: none !important;}
- Restart Firefox for the change to take effect.
Always show the Go button. By default it is only displayed when you are editing the current web address.
- Open your userChrome.css file located in your profile folder.
- Add this line to the end of the file: #go-button { visibility: visible !important; }
- Restart Firefox for the change to take effect.
If you enter firfox in the location bar and you try to correct it, the autocomplete menu won’t suggest anything because it only keeps working as you edit the last characters. Install the Edit Middle extension, developed by harikaried, to make it work with edits anywhere.
To hide the web feed icon from the location bar, add this line to your userChrome.css file: #feed-button[feeds] { display: none !important; }

Pinoy Tech Guy’s recommended Addons

Addons extend the functionality for Firefox 3 to do almost anything we do online. Sure, having too much of them will bloat your browser to the point of no return but having a reasonable number of usefuk addons really help enhance the experience. Here’s Pinoy Tech Guy’s top picks:

Adblock Plus - Don’t go online without an adblocker. Yes. Ads are the bread and butter of most bloggers (like me) and you can disable Adblock for us but 99.9% of the time, you need an adblocker to keepthe popups and all sorts of attention grabbing nonsense like screaming ads or push the button ads. Be sure to put Pinoy Tech Guy on the white list when you install this :).
No Script - Secure’s your browser by removing scripts from any site that is not in the white list. No more malware for you. Again, be sure to put Pinoy Tech Guy on the white list when you install this :).
DownThemAll - want to save all the pictures but they’re thumbnailed and you have to click them one by one to save the original? Not anymore. DownThemAll or DTA for short saves you from trying to painstakingly download all files from a page of links or images. It will download all links or images in a single click. How’s that for convinience?
Tab Mix Plus - Tab Mix Plus gives you full control of Tabs on Firefox. From how they open and close, the order of tabs, auto reloading tabs etc.
Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer - Got multiple installation of Firefox on several computers and you need to sync them all? Or do you frequenly loose your bookmarks when ever Firefox crashes? Formark’s Addon is of excellent help against these two problems. It even allows you to backup your bookmarks manually to a file if you ever need to import it to another browser.
All-In-One-Sidebar - contains all relavant menus and contexts onto an easy access sidebar. It contains Bookmarks, History, Add-ons, Downloads, a multipanel window and even menus from other Addons like FireFTP.

Performance tweaks

Firefox 3 is swift and snappy but since we performance junkies want more from it, here’s a few tweaks to improve page loading time.

Enter about:config in the location bar:

Alter the entries as follows:

To enable/disable Single Click Select URL of address bar

browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll = True
browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll = False

To auto Complete URL while typing in the address Bar
```
browser.urlbar.autoFill=True
```
strong> To set the number of auto complete URL in the address bar
```
browser.urlbar.maxRichResults = #
```

(# indicates the number of auto complete URLs shown. The default is 12)

To disabler Browser Toolbar Tip
```
browser.chrome.toolbar_tips = False
```
To paste copied content by clicking the center button on the mouse
```
middlemouse.paste = True
```
To disable blinking text
```
browser.blink_allowed = False
```
To create a single close button to for all Firefox Opened Tabs.
```
browser.tabs.closeButtons = 3
```
To increase number of recently closed tabs.
```
browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo=15
```
Right click view source in your editor

view_source.editor.external=True
view_source.editor.path= Path of Editor

To enable fast scrolling across tabs
```
toolkit.scrollbox.scrollIncrement =75
```
To stop displaying website icon in address bar and on the tabs
```
browser.chrome.site_icons = False
```
To enable spell check in text fields
```
layout.spellcheckDefault = 2
```

To speed up the browser

network.http.max-connections 30 to 96
network.http.max-connections-per-server 15 to 32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 6 to 8
network.http.pipelining false to true
network.http.proxy.pipelining false to true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 30 to 8
network.http.pipelining.ssl false to true
network.http.proxy.pipelining false to true

To disable annoying browser behavior
Change the followowing values to ‘false’

dom.disable_window_open_feature.titlebar
dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
dom.disable_window_move_resize
dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar

To show more tabs on single window
```
browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 75
```
To display search results in new tab
```
browser.search.openintab=True.
```

Right-click anywhere and create a new Integer named 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.

Session Restore Saving Frequency

Whenever Firefox crashes it will try to restore all of your open tabs to the way they were. This has come in handy several times for me before, but sometimes I notice that it isn’t able to restore all of my tabs for me.

That’s because Firefox, by default, only saves the session restore data every 10 seconds, but you can configure that time interval to whatever you would like.

Enter about:config in the location bar.
Look for browser.sessionstore.interval
The default value is 10000 which is 10000 milliseconds. Change this to any value you want. For example, entering in 1000 would cause the session restore data to be saved every 1 second, whereas a value of 20000 would make it happen every 20 seconds.

Tweaking the Full page Zoom

Firefox 3 introduces full page zoom, that is, instead of just making text bigger or smaller, it resizes the full page including images and layout.

If you just want to zoom text, in the View menu, select Zoom and mark Zoom Text Only.
Firefox 3 remembers what zoom level you used for viewing pages in a domain and will automatically zoom them the next time you visit any page in the same domain. If you prefer Firefox not to remember it:
- In the location bar, enter about:config to access the advanced preferences
- Look for browser.zoom.siteSpecific and double click it to set it to false.
Another change you may quickly notice is that in Firefox 3 pressing Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and scrolling up and down, zooms the page in and out, unlike Firefox 2 and previous versions which used to work the opposite way.
By default when you press Ctrl + = and Ctrl + - to zoom in or out a page (Cmd + = on Mac), Firefox magnifies to 30%, 50%, 67%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 133%, 150%, 170%, 200%, 240% and 300%. If you want to define more or less fine steps or need to zoom to larger levels you can customize Firefox full page zoom:
- Enter about:config in the location bar to access the advanced preferences.
- Look for toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues and replace the default values with your preferences. For example to set quicker values like 10%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 300% and 500% you will need to enter .1,.5,1,2,3,5.
- You will also need to increase the default 300% zoom in level. Look for zoom.maxPercent and set it to 500 to match the highest step set above.
- You may need to to do the same with the lower limit. Look for zoom.minPercent and set it to 10 to match the lowest step set above.
Note that the zoom steps only affect zooming in and out with the keyboard or via View>Zoom>Zoom In/Zoom Out. Mouse scroll zooming uses its own steps but respects the maximum and minum zoom levels.

As stated above, the list is in now way exhaustive or complete. If you want to contribute or want to share something that’s already posted and would like it to be included here contact me or leave a comment.

P.S: This is just a compilation of information for Firefox 3 users, if you feel that your post not should be here send me a holler and I will remove it.

Protect Your Kids: Keeping Children Away from Adult Sites

Child Protection

This document is adhered to help parents understand how to protect their children from inappropriate online material.

The first step to protect your family is to install parental control software on your computer. Some of the best-known and respected parental control software packages are CyberPatrol, Net Nanny and Safety Surf. Also, some ISPs (Internet Service Providers, the companies that let your modem connect to the Internet) provide content filtering as part of their basic service. Check with your ISP to see if this is an option they offer.

Parental control software works by blocking access to specific websites and online content. In most cases, when you buy the software it already contains a large list of sites that are inappropriate for children. You can then update the software through the manufacturer's website or, in some cases, the software will update itself.

Another way filtering software works is to block sites based on key words, such as "s*x." However, filtering software doesn't have to just block access to adult-oriented material. You can configure the software to filter for topics such as tobacco, drugs and drug culture, alcohol, violence and racism.

Since there might be only one computer in your household, and you might be using the same computer as the children, you can set up the system to filter content during certain hours, such as when you're at work and not around to supervise your children's web surfing. You can also setup the system to create a password, that only you know, to override the restrictions.

Some programs can also block personal information, such as name, address and phone number, from being sent from your computer. This is an excellent way to protect children from potential online predators.

Many programs allow you to create different levels of security and filtering based on the different ages of the computer's users. Children can be given high security and heavy content filtering, but when you log on to the machine, you can set it to not filter any content at all.

One thing to remember is that by installing filtering software on your computer, you might also restrict childrens' access to legitimate sites. This is especially true if you rely on key words (such as "s*x") for blocking. Certain key words appear on legitimate news and information sites, so it's best to experiment with different settings when configuring the filter controls.

Installing filtering software is no guarantee that children won't be exposed to some inappropriate material online. New websites pop up everyday, so it's important to keep your software up to date. Also, learn how your Internet browser software works so that you can check the sites your family has visited (this is the "History" feature, which displays a list of websites visited by the web browser).

Talking to your children about the possible dangers that exist on the Internet, and supervising their web surfing are still the best ways to protect them.

Some key general Internet-related safety points for your children:

Tell them to never give out personal information about themselves or the family to strangers they might meet online or in a chat room.
Remind them that online it's easy for people to pretend to be someone else. They can easily change their name, age and gender in an effort to get close to children.
Teach them that they should never meet a new online friend without an adult present.
Tell them to never give out their picture to a stranger, and that if they ever get a picture with sexual content, or something they find disturbing, that they should get off the computer immediately and tell you about it.
Let them know that if they encounter something or someone dangerous that they can tell you about it, and that you won't blame them or get mad.

Here are some sites where you can get parental control software:

Safety Surf
