We knew that Firefox has problem with the memory usage. Sometimes it can reach to hundreds of megabytes. But here is a tricks on how to reduce the memory usage when you minimize your Firefox.

1. Type about:config in Firefox address bar and press Enter.
2. Right click in the page and select New > Boolean.
3. Type config.trim_on_minimize in the box that pops up. Press Enter.
4. Select True and then press Enter.
5. Restart Firefox.

What it will do is, when each time you minimize your Firefox, the memory usage will dramatically drop down to 10Mb (this is what happen on my PC) but then it will slowly increase up to 50Mb. When you maximize it back, it will stay on 50Mb or maybe 70Mb.

Note: This is only to reduce the Firefox memory usage when you minimize it. Not to fix them.

We are going to start taking pre-orders for the Optimus-103 on 12.12.2006 (00:00 MSK).

Optimus-103 is a LED keyboard powered by its own DC adapter. Because of hundres LED used, this keyboard cannot functional if powered by USB alone. The stylish design and the cool looking LED keys on the keyboard, it sure will brigthen up your desktop in the dark.

I have installed Rainlendar 2 on my dekstop but in this latest version, you are limited to edit the settings. Beside than that, the default skin, Shadow4 doesn’t include vertical dual calendar display which I used it before. So I have to edit the skin source code to make it display the calendar in vertical way.

Here are two screenshots taken from my desktop, the default dual calendar display and the edited one.

Earlier this morning I got an email from my hosting provider (promotion page) about the invoice for my hosting package. I bought the hosting on 19th December 2005 , so I need to renew it before the coming 19th December 2006 or it will discontinue my site hosting. But unfortunately, on 18th to 23rd December I will not be able to online because I will attend for a camp. So I will pay the annual fee earlier and thats mean on that week, I will not update this site.

Because I bought the domain from other services, so I only need to pay RM80 for the hosting. And for the domain which I bought from Saleiz, I will need to pay RM35. All of these cost me to pay RM115.

Urgh…although I’m broke but I still need to pay for them or else, this site will not be able to online. [tags]hosting, package, domain, annual, renew[/tags]

I have used Download Accelerator Plus, GetRight and Internet Download Manager. From these three download acclerators, I must say that Internet Download Manager (IDM) is the best and the fastest download accelerator I ever use.

According to The Times of London, a criminal gang in U.K was able to steal confidential banking data by bugging ATMs with a MP3 player.

The gang tapped the phone line between the targeted freestanding cash dispenser ATM and a wall soket by placing a two-way adaptor on it and connect it to a MP3. The electronic noise from the data traffic will be recorded into the MP3 player and will be interpreted by using a modem line tap or using special software program.

They managed to get copies of credit cards and make purchases worth $380 000 according to The Times.

Cypher: How about if we tapped the phone line by using handphone. Then we transfer the recorded noise to a software to interpret the data. Just an idea.

Every links that you have typed in the address bar will be stored in History. And you can clear all those links at once by clearing the History. But how you can delete individual links from the address bar?

Mozilla Firefox
To delete spesific url from Firefox address bar is really easy. You just need to SHIFT-DELETE the url and it will be gone.

Internet Explorer
To do this in IE is a little bit complex. Because you will play with the registry. So backup your registry before you proceed.

1. Close your IE.
2. Run regedit.exe from Start > Run.
3. Go to this tree: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
4. Delete all numbered urls that you don’t wish to visiable in IE address bar. But make sure you renamed the urls in sequential order start from url1, if you delete only certain keys.
5. Close regedit.exe
