I will just copy his instructions here because I am not a techno savvy person but do visit his blog for more gems on website stuff and online money making tips.Speed up Firefox.

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” 4. Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at one time.

The Physics of Traffic Jams 2007-12-17 01:10:00 Have you ever wondered why after being in stop-and-go traffic for some time, you can suddenly drive at normal speed without seeing a reason for the delay? I know that my hubby and I always wondered about this question. And with the "busybodies" in Malaysian drivers, even a small incident where a car got a flat tyre or ran out of fuel will cause a massive jam, we can understand why certain narrower roads got these traffic jams. Nevertheless, we do wonder about these seemingly highways that got us stuck for no apparent reason.“There are empirical causes for such miseries as traffic slowing to a crawl even when there is no accident or rough pavement in sight,” notes The Wall Street Journal. “Cars behave much as molecules in a gas.” Even a brief slowing down produces “a compression wave” that works its way backward, causing cars far behind to slow to a crawl. “By one estimate, three-quarters [75%] of traffic jams have no visible culprit,” says the paper. “The cause came a ...

Manic Monday 2007-12-17 00:27:00 What is your idea of a perfect romantic evening?I don't have much imagination in this regard. To me being able to have a quiet evening with hubby, holding hands and walking slowly facing the beach if possible. I like the sound of sea waves and the feel of sea breeze in my face. Realistically though, I am afraid of too lonely places unless it is a private beach but then we would need to pay an arm or a leg for such "luxury".Imagine you had to take part in the winter Olympics. What sport would you do? (Here's a link to the official sports, in case you need help.) Figure skating. This is what I love to watch anyway. If I have the "figure" and I can "skate", this would be my Olympic entry for sure!

Creative Adventure IX 2007-12-14 21:58:00 Click banner1. While cross-country skiing through an old country trail I notice a light through the trees ahead. Getting closer to the clearing, I see the light comes from an old cottage that looks inviting. I remove my skis and walk up the porch steps and knock on the door when the door creaked open on its own.2. I step inside to a cozy living room and sitting in a big leather chair in front of the fireplace is a little old man. What do you call them, short about 3 feet tall people? Ah, dwarfs? This "little" old man has a very happy face. Although he was startled by my appearance, he quickly regained his composure. I apologized for intruding but try to explain that the door was ajar.3.

About a beautiful fair lady who got lost and wandered to the cottage, not in winter of course, and stayed fo ...
