firefox stop unresponsive script — would be great to autostop after user specified seconds

Filed under: Geeky goodness, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, firefox — Tags: , , , — Sagacious Himself @ 9:36 pm

For those atrociously designed sites that gobble up my power it’d be nice to autostop unresponsive scripts after 3 seconds. If whatever cannot accomplish whatever else in 3 seconds I don’t want whatever it is anyway.

tv writers on strike? yeah so what? the internet is my DVR

Filed under: DARPA, Download, Justice, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself — Tags: , , , , , — Sagacious Himself @ 1:15 pm

I’ve tried netflix. But forget them. They never gave me “as many movies as I wanted”. I’m not interested in paying for as many movies as netflix deems me worthy to receive. I now get as many movies as I want, with not only no late fees, but no pesky returns, and no annoying processing- or waiting list.

hahahaha I win

My internet DVR is great for TV episodes, too

in lieu of bootvis

Filed under: Knowledge, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself — Tags: , , , , , — Sagacious Himself @ 7:27 am

Manual Instructions - Reboot Windows XP two times, each time wait one full minute after the desktop appears to allow Windows time to fully write to the NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.PF file before proceeding, then go to “Start”, “Run”, Type

Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

This can take 10-15 minutes to run but no notification will be given when it is finished. You will notice increased Hard drive activity while it is running wait until this stops. When this is finished in the “Run” box Type

defrag c: -b

and wait until the command prompt window disappears. It is not necessary to do again unless something has been added or removed from the boot sequence (Drivers, Startup Applications ect…) and you do not feel like waiting 3 days for it to be automatically optimized by Windows.

EASILY download any youtube video in firefox — don’t bother with youtube extensions

Filed under: Download, Geeky goodness, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, firefox — Sagacious Himself @ 4:36 am

There’s no reason to install a “youtube extension”. All that’s required is Firefox and AdBlock Plus.

(1) visit YouTube
(2) pick and play a video
(3) mash CTRL+Shift+B
(4) in that search bar enter: get_vid
(5) right click that URL, open in new tab
(6) close existing tab.. and download from new tab will commence
(7) rename FLV to suit and watch (in MPlayer or similar)

repeat as desired

video: what is faith

Filed under: Liberty, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, Wisdom — Sagacious Himself @ 12:56 am

video part 1

http://massmirror.com/251573f79cfb5d63bea2fd734279c094.html

faith is not incredulity

faith is not wishful thinking

the opposite of faith is not rationalism, but superstition

an atheist does not doubt the existence of God he dismisses it

video part2

http://massmirror.com/0758ded82203ee44e64997fccab88f94.html

faith pertains to those truths that are above our senses but not contrary to them

remove ads from animated GIFs with simple crop tools

CROP out ads and rejoice

(5) use imprecise finger icon to set two points (I’d rather have a cross hair icon)

or maybe an erase to transparency tool
