Education / 'fake' Universities Operating In Sweden by ideas4u: 6:12pm On Apr 21, 2009
The Swedish National Agency for Higher Education (Högskoleverket) has issued a warning about two so-called fake universities operating in Sweden. Both universities offer courses up to and including doctoral level.

One of the universities, the Scandinavian University of Science and Technology (SUST), is only accessible via the internet, and has a post office box registered to an address in Angered, a suburb of Gothenburg, according to local newspaper Göteborgs Posten.

The university's homepage was out of service on Tuesday morning.

The second university, calling itself the Alhuraa University in Sweden, is based in the Stockholm region and claims to be a branch of a university of the same name in the Netherlands.

The university markets its courses primarily at Iraqis living in Sweden and its homepage is primarily in Kurdish and Arabic with a short presentation in English.

Both universities offer academic degrees up to doctoral level and neither are registered academic establishments in Sweden, the National Agency for Higher Education has warned.


From http://www.thelocal.se/18106/20090310/
The agency has called on the government to investigate whether these two "universities" are operating in breach of Swedish law.

"If they are not, then we have a real problem, because we could then see many more in the future," said the agency's Erik Johansson to Göteborgs-Posten.

The internet is littered with fake universities offering academic qualifications but remain relatively unusual in Sweden.

Phones / Speeding Up Firefox Browser by ideas4u: 12:06pm On Mar 25, 2009
Ok, its no secret, Firefox is my favorite browser, infact, if you are not using it (for example using, Gasp, Opera,IE) you need to change. Well I decided to write an article on how to "hack" Firefox to make it even better. Using a few tweaks here and there, we can make FireFox considerably faster, enable advanced tab options, make newer versions compatible with older extentions, run directly from a flash disk, and on and on.
First, Lets change some hidden options to make it faster,
Open Firefox 1.0 and in the address bar type: about:config

1. Find browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs and double click on it so it = true
2. Find network.http.pipelining and double click on it so it = true
3. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests double click on it and change it from 4 to 100

What do these changes do?
1. Then enables advanced tab options in your Tools/Options page
2. This enables option #3.
3. This makes FF use 8 threads to each page, Bascially, if you thought FF was fast before, try it after this.

Second, lets make it look better,
Visit the Mozilla Firefox theme page and select a theme that looks good to you.
I personally like the Noia eXtreme skin, but choose one that looks good to you

Now lets make it work FOR us,
One of the sweetest thing about Firefox is the ability to use extentions. At the time of this writing, there are 226 extentions that we can use to make it better, I will only touch on a few of them that I use. (Alphabetically Sorted)
Adblock: Remove inline ads.

Bookmarks Synchronizer: Save your bookmarks to an XML file, and sync with an FTP server. Keep your work/home bookmarks current!

Digger: Navigate to parent directories, switch to ftp equivalent of site, climb subdomains, etc, Very helpful in "scouting" a site.

Download Sort: Automatically send downloads to specific folders based on file's extention.

Gmail Notifier: Lets you know if you have new gmail

Google Pagerank Status: Lets you see the Google PageRank of the page you are visiting.

refspoof: "Spoof" your referer.

Spiderzilla: Download an entire site to a local directory.

Super DragAndGo: Drag a link to blank space on a webpage, and it will open it in a new tab.

SwitchProxy: Manage and switch between multiple proxies. Make sure to read my article on finding and useing proxies.

User Agent Switcher: Switch the user agent of your browser.

MouseGestures:
This is the "Mouse Gestures" firefox extension. Basically, to go forward you draw a line from left to right while holding down the mouse button, to go back you draw a line from right to left while holding down, to close draw a L, to open a new page, from bottom to top - there are other options such as switch tabs, source, view cookies, etc.
I have personally found this to make my browsing experience much easier and much more reflexive (I don't think about pressing the back button, so much as automatically drawing it); when I use internet explorer oftentimes I right click by accident.

x: Gives a Toolbar "paranoia" button, click it and it can clear history, form info, saved passwords, download history, cookies, & cache.

Fasterfox: This extension automatically employs link prefetching, network tweaking, enhanced pop-up blocking, along with simultaneous connections, pipe-lining, enhanced caching, DNS caching, and initial paint delaying to make FireFox so fast it can break servers (or at least hurt them).

Firefox on a USB Thumbdrive
Check out the article on Portable Firefox 1.0

Tell Firefox what we want to see (and what we don't)
Sick of Google Ads on everyone's page? Well lets tell firefox that we don't want to see them anymore. This hack will remove 95% of all Ads, including google Ads. (Yes, even from Gmail. Warning, Removing these ads may violate the TOS of Gmail)

This hack uses the magic of CSS and a Firefox configuration file named UserContent.css. We are going to edit this file, I suggest you download the plugin ChomEdit to make your job easier. (Go install it now & come back after restart)

Ok, now that you have ChromEdit installed, open Firefox and click on Tools / Edit User files. A new window will appear that has five tabs across the top. Click on the tab that is labeled userContent.css. Next click on the link below and copy all the text. Then paste it into the userContent.css file, then click the Save button.
Code

Now restart your browser, Tada, Google ads are gone!

From Digital Media Minute:

The above rules make use of the *!important* property value to override any rules that may already exist within the page that is being loaded. In the first rule, GMail has an element with an id of rh and we are setting the tables that have a class equal to metatable within that element, to not display (ie . display:none)
A word of caution, we are only hiding the ads from displaying. They are actually still there, just not visible. This means that Google is still indexing your email messages to provide you with “targetted ads”. It is also worth noting that as this hack is based upon creating CSS rules for existing GMail code, it is very possible that this hack will break as GMail continues to evolve.


to get older extensions to work in 1.0, edit extensions.lastAppVersion from '1.0' to '.10'. Bugmenot and others will now work.

More to come, send me your contributions such as tweaks, favorite extentions, etc,

Religion / Prosperity Bath Spell, Money Ritual (harmless) Step By Step Guide by ideas4u: 10:36am On Mar 20, 2009
I don't often post spells, I just got this from a "SECRET INDIAN MYSTIC GRAIL"[b][/b].
This prosperity/money bath spell today is different - this is a nice solid traditional spell where all the components work together as they should to create a portal that will manifest the intention. PLEASE DON'T TOY WITH THIS

Prosperity Bath Spell, Money Ritual
You will need:

One green candle.
Three silver coins.
Salt.

Instructions:

Take the green candle and inscribe the amount of money you need on the candle.

Don't be greedy and be reasonable.

Now charge your candle and three different silver coins on your altar.

While they are charging, run yourself a bath. Once run, place within the water your three silver coins and a pinch of salt.

Place the green candle at the foot of your bath.

Now light the green candle and turn off the other lights in your bathroom.

Lay back in the water and focus on the flame of the candle and visualise you recieving this money.

Chant

"The green Dragon flies over the sea

bringing wealth and prosperity to me"

NOTE: Do not wash, just soak in the water. Once the candle has burned down a quarter of the way get out the bath and dry yourself. Take the candle and your coins to your altar. Allow the candle to burn down.

Give thanks afterwards.

This spell worked for me within a week.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A note: If you don't have an altar or you don't know what "charging your coins" means, you can still do this money spell. Take a nice piece of paper, and on the underside, write, "Charge Me!". Turn it over and place your coins on that on a shelf or window sill. That will do the trick.

Not for Commercial Purposes


If you have done and the deed is done, dont forget to post it

Doing is believing.
Politics / Tharin Gartrell: Plot To Assasinate President Barrack Obama by ideas4u: 2:34pm On Feb 25, 2009
Tharin Gartrell is a suspected conspirator in a plot to kill presidential candidate Barack Obama. The 28-year-old convicted felon was pulled over for drunk driving at a traffic stop in Aurora, Colorado, which is 25 minutes from Denver, where police discovered that he had several outstanding warrants for arrest along with two sniper rifles, a bullet proof vest, and drugs. He later led them to the Cherry Creek Hotel where an accomplice, Shawn Robert Adolf, tried to escape by jumping out of a sixth floor window and broke his ankle.

During interviews with the Secret Service, Tharin Gartrell and his two other accomplices made statements that indicated a possible threat to Obama. Their connection to a white supremacist biker gang, the Sons of Silence, was also suspicious. However, his MySpace profile, under the name Tharin Roberts, presents a different side to his story, making him look like an ordinary person. It says he's a DJ in Denver who likes training in different fighting styles, skateboarding, and writing music. He doesn't watch TV except for UFC, but he does like movies like "The Lord of the Rings" and "Assassins."

Revealingly, Tharin Gartrell's friend, Shawn, has a MySpace page with the quote: "jump up and smash a goomba, Bleep that give me fire power" although the rest of his profile is set to private. "Goomba" being a derogatory term for Italian Americans.
