How About Giving Funky Look To About:Blank Page In Firefox?

clipped from www.nofullstop.com

Mostly FireFox users use the about blank option for default FireFox start page and when they start FireFox it starts with a blank screen ready to connect you to the Internet.

Now how about giving a funky look to the start page of FireFox? Yeah, no website will start when you open FireFox but an image of your own choice will be displayed when you first open FireFox. Before we start working on the details I request you to install the Stylish extension which will help give wings to your imagination.

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal?
It's a natural plant that grows in the dirt.
Do you know what's not natural?
80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That's not natural.
But we got pills for that.
We're dedicating all our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect,

but we're putting people in jail for something that grows in the dirt?

XP still holds a few cards over Vista

I've heard plenty of the usual gaff in regard to Vista. Buggy, wait till they (MS) have released a SP (service Pack) or 2 before bothering with this OS.

So it's still XP for me.

Is Windows XP too good for Microsoft’s own good?


“The one-year XP transition just turned out to be a little too ambitious,” acknowledged Kevin Kutz, a director in the Windows client unit. Traditionally, Microsoft has given OEMs two years to transition to a new operating system release, Kutz said.

Cookie's Threat for GMail Users

Scary .. I turned off JavaScript when I saw this, then found that so many features of sites I use stop with that decision! :(

So I turned it back on..

Petko Petkov of "ethical hacking" group GNUCitizen has developed a proof-of-concept program to steal contacts and incoming e-mails from Google Gmail users.


According to Gatford, attackers could compromise a Gmail account--using a cross-site scripting vulnerability--if the victim is logged in and clicks on a malicious link. From that moment, the attacker can take over the session cookies for Gmail and subsequently forward all the account's messages to a POP account.


The problem is potentially compounded by Google's policy of retaining cookies for two years.


"Once you've managed to snarf a cookie, you can access (a user's) Gmail account without the password for the next two years," he said.


While the obvious risk is to the home user, many organizations could be exposed, since they do not filter employee e-mails sent from work to personal accounts, he added.


One work-around is to use Gmail through Firefox and disable JavaScript

V for Vendetta

V
* (Upon meeting Evey Hammond) Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.


V for Vendetta Quotes

(In simpler words) Behold! Before you is a humble performer, cast, against his will, by fate, to the roles of both victim and villain. The face you see now is not just some mere facade of pointless theatrics. It is a remnant of the people's voice, which has since gone and disappeared. However, this past annoyance stands courageously reborn and has sworn to conquer the evil and corrupt, who promote greed and the violent suppression of free will. The only way to do this is with a war of retribution. It will not be a fruitless revenge, for the importance and self-evidence of this quest shall exonerate the open-minded and righteous. But in truth, this thick soup of words is becoming too excessive. So, let me simply finish by saying that it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V.
