Last week I watched my favorite video on YouTube.com, but sadly it can't be downloaded. Until I found a nice trix from my friends. Let me share it to you guys, if you already know this trix, sorry :)
note: Only works with firefox..
- Get firefox browser here.
- Get the firefox plugin called 'Greasemonkey' here, install it, then restart your firefox.
- Click on these link -> youtube_to_me.user.js, greasemonkey will ask you to install this javascript, install it.
Once you finish step 3 above, try it, go to www.youtube.com, choose your target video. Look at the red bar above the page saying "Save As to download Flash Video", right click on it and "Save Link As..". Rename your file to .flv. You'll need FLV Player to play this video (sorry, I forgot the link).
OR you can use k-lite codec to play this video in Windows Media Player
Hello guys, I just found a little trick to let you bypass Rapidshare.de download limitation, hope you like it. Note: Only works with Firefox browser - Download latest version of Firefox here, and install it on your box
- Install latest version of Firefox extension called GreaseMonkey here, once finished restart your firefox.
- Get this javascript newrapidshare.user.js.html, then remove the .html extension.
- Open your firefox, click File->Open, open the downloaded javascript, you will see a popup window asking do you want to install this script to GreaseMonkey. Click Install on that window.
Now get some thing to download, and download another file from Rapidshare.de, you will notice that rapidshare let download again and again. Well, I hope this is useful guys, it's working perfectly for me :) 11 ways to motivate geeks
Takeaway: Author Paul Glen offers tips for motivating IT pros.
By Paul Glen
Every leader wants a motivated group, but many find that motivating technology workers is quite different from motivating other employees. Here are a few tips.
1. Select Wisely. The most important thing a leader can do to encourage intrinsic motivation is to assign work to geeks who have an interest in the work.
2. Manage Meaning. The second most important thing a leader can do is to give a geek some sense of the larger significance of their work. Without a sense of meaning, motivation suffers and day-to-day decisions become difficult. It is easy for geeks to become mired in the ambiguous world of questions, assumptions, and provisional facts characteristic of technical work.
3. Communicate Significance. It is very important for managers to be explicit about the role a new technology plays in a business otherwise some will misunderstand the centrality of their work and others may develop delusions of grandeur.
4. Show Career Path. Many geeks have only a vague sense that there's more to advancing their careers than just acquiring new technical knowledge. Be specific about what competencies a geek must demonstrate in order to advance their career.
5. Projectize. Projects help turn work into a game and geeks love games with objectives that delineate both goals and success criteria.
6. Encourage Isolation. While geeks need free flowing communication within their own work groups, collective seclusion provides fertile soil for motivation, cultivating cohesion and concentration.
7. Engender External Competition. Healthy competition can enhance group cohesion.
8. Design Interdependence. When a colleague is relying on you to complete your work, it’s much easier to put in the extra effort for them than it is just to meet some externally imposed deadline.
9. Limit Group Size. As group size grows, colleagues become less individuals and more an undistinguished mass of anonymous faces. The larger the workgroup, the less conducive the environment for developing intrinsic motivation.
10. Control Resource Availability. Whether thinking about money, people, time, or training, there’s a delicate balance of resources that will encourage a group’s enthusiasm. Too many resources or too few can diminish interest in the work.
11. Offer Free Food. . .Intermittently. Never underestimate the power of free food. I can’t offer any rational explanation, but for geeks, even those making sizeable incomes, free food offers major support to motivation development, far more than an equivalent amount of cash.
Need to expand your view in Windows 2000 Pro? Use two or more monitors
Takeaway: Having an extra monitor is a popular way to get extra screen space, and it's easier to set up secondary displays on your Windows 2000 Professional system than you may think. Here's how to expand your horizons by adding one or more monitors to your setup.
Whether you're doing software or Web development in Windows 2000 Professional, desktop publishing, or other applications, having extra screen real estate can be a productivity booster. You can add additional PCI display adapters to a Windows 2000 system to act as secondary displays (the primary can be an AGP display adapter). Windows 2000 expands the desktop to accommodate the new display, making the desktop fit seamlessly across the displays.
To use multiple displays in Windows 2000:
- Shut down the system and add the PCI display adapters.
- Restart the system and allow Windows 2000 to detect and install drivers for the adapters.
- You can then configure the multiple adapters and how they accommodate the desktop through the display properties. Simply select the adapter you want to configure from the numbered boxes and set resolution and other properties as you would for a single adapter configuration.
Click and drag the numbered monitor icons to arrange the desktop according to your physical monitor layout. The option, "Use This Device As The Primary Monitor," specifies which adapter is used to display the logon dialog, desktop icons, taskbar, etc. Use the option "Extend My Windows Desktop Onto This Monitor" to enable or disable an adapter.Insecure by design By John Leyden → More by this author Published Friday 23rd March 2007 18:48 GMT Research library - All papers free to download. Microsoft's trustworthy computing initiative is five years-old but the software giant is still making bone-headed design decisions that favour usability over basic security. A good example comes from the folks at F-Secure who noticed that Vista continues to hide extensions for known file types by default, just like older versions of Windows. This is a bad idea because it allows virus writers to create malware with double extensions - such as LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.VBS - to run malicious code, Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer at F-Secure, notes. Click here to find out more! "This sucks," he addds. Microsoft's decision to retain this feature on default installs is galling because the company's mantra is that should not be blamed unless malware exploits specific vulnerabilities in its software. But if Microsoft fails to take basic precautions to block well-known social engineering exploits used for years by malware authors, then all the hard work that's gone into making Windows more secure in other respects is squandered. ® I saw this in Shoutbox on ebooksportal:
"thocon : Mr.
Blue(admin) has been falling ill and being cured in hospital for 2
days,so he couldn't post his text.He will return soon in 1 or 2 days
later.Thank a lot and i hope that you will go on supporting Mr.Blue."
So Babyblue a.k.a Mr.Blue will not be online for 2 days,I don't know reason yet.I hope that BabyBlue will bee batter soon. In this time me ( ArberX ) will take care for ebooksportal and blueportal.
Currently, I am spending some important examinations in my univeristy and our new admin, arberx also has his own tests in his Cisco Academy, this week. So, this is really the difficult time for us to upload more stuffs for you guys (just in this week) . If you have some interesting books/tutorials, please contribute them, we will try our best to review and approve them for other members. After the exams, many more stuffs will be released.
(If you sent emails or messages to me, please be patient, I will reply them as soon as I could finish my examinations )
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT

BabyBlueDear members,
After contacted CEO of RapidShare.de, Mr Christian Schmid (he is a nice man), I found that we had a misunderstanding.
Let me explain the whole story. Some weeks ago, a guy tried to fake RapidShare.de admin, then blame BluePortal at one of the biggest Web Host forums in order to get attention from my service provider, to shut this site down.When I known that issue, I contacted him (I still thought that he came from RapidShare at that time) immediately but no replied, then I wrote an email directly to webmaster of RapidShare.de. I have just received an email from CEO of RapidShare.de. He wrote that, he never post anything like that anywhere, and he could take legal action to prosecute the guy, who faked him. So, we could continue to use RapidShare again, from now on. There is no more problems.
Through this issue, I also known that there are some guys, who may hate this site or me, and want to shut this site down very much. I do not know why ? If I did something wrong or anything affected to your work, your benifit, please contact me: blueportal at gmail dot com, I will try to solve the problem. Please do not do anything like your last actions.
Best Regards
BabyBlue |
