gmail filter repository
where is gmail filter repository?
nothing like SpamAssassin Rules Emporium has turned up yet
.
to stay competitive gmail now needs to add
+ a TMDA.net analog
+ properly support IMAP4 flags
+ fine grain spam rules (no, not filters)
+ x-header support in filters
+ actual wildcard support

stellarium more free than planetarium
a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.
It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go.
I’m still waiting for something that will print charts onto transparencies to be held at arm’s length to map the sky by eye
adsweep, the other adblock for chrome: yet another reminder to download adblocking technology missing from googe browser
first: STOP using chrome. No, this is not about firefox. This is about privacy.
Use Chromium… a particular build of Chromium. Chrome is a build of Chromium; it’s all about the information harvesting. Iron is a build of Chromium.
Iron Chromium is what you REALLY WANT:
http://SRware.net , click American flag, software, iron, download, click, wait brief seconds at 144 Mbits/sec, run setup, clickity click, run Iron. Enjoy the same experience as Chrome without the Faustian hand-off to google.
next: http://adsweep.org/
which itself ironically has banner ads (the site and not the product).
.
ads mostly gone. sure, it’s nowhere near as awesome as the tools for Firefox* but it’s certainly MUCH better than the unmaintained, adblock format based on a FanBoy blocklist Iron Chromium offers in its native adblock engine with SRware’s adblock.ini … AdSweep is a big help … though I am CONFIDENT SRware will patch up their native adblock engine and integrate it with the context menu (for easy right click on ANY ad / annoyance for quick blocking across sessions)
compare Iron Chromium to Chrome Chromium
.
Iron Chromium portable — the only stable portable version of Chromium
.
SUBSTANTIAL difference between Iron’s adblock.ini and AdSweepers extension / user script
AdSweep HIDES ads with CSS
adblock.ini BLOCKS ads with pixie dust
^^^
AdSweep does NOT enhance your privacy. While the current incarnation of Firefox and greasemonkey and AdSweep rely on the page completely loading, unlike Chromium, future versions of Greasemonkey alledgedly will be able to act pre-render of the page. yay!

how to download all the mp3 music you want from project playlist beta
how to download all the mp3 music you want from project playlist beta
This script allows you to download ALL SONGS on playlist.com by using a different method than all those other scripts that just use the visible url. Now provides links to download entire playlists!!!
Version: 2.2.1
free signup is *optional* but will allow you to build a favorites list
must use beta search
in results click new “Download song” link.
cost of free: filename is string of numbers
Say for whatever reason you wanted music from MTV toplist
http://www.mtv.com/music/charts/
so in a moment of insanity you desire Kanye West “Heartless”
search heartless:
because you’re still insane you click the first download link instead
if you’ve opted not to install the userscript as directed, or if you’re greasemonkey is disable then no download link for you
downloaded
if you’re OCD or an iTard: kill yourself. The file contains ID3 tags. You can use foobar to rename the file to your liking
right click file(s)
click the dot dot dot
pick the appropriate naming scheme
click run
click close
repeat as desired
NEVER pay for mp3s. Pay only for FLAC, audio CD, or audio DVD. Money must fetch fidelity. mp3s are only acceptable when free.
* large groups of mp3s are best batch renamed via ID3 with den4b’s ReNamer

How do I create multiple large files that consume no extra diskspace?
Create multiple Hardlinks to one or more files. Change the names of the Hardlinks to suit.
