Tune your Firefox up!

Many have preferred the use of Mozilla Firefox than the Internet Explorer... Mainly because of Firefox's faster page load time thus making our web surfing more smooth and more enjoyable...

But do you really know that you can still speed up your internet surfing experience just by tweaking your Firefox's configuration.. I would just like to share this little trick to you guys... Hope it can be useful...

Common to all configurations

These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);

Fast Computer Fast Connection

user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

Fast Computer, Slower Connection

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Fast Computer, Slow Connection

user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Slow Computer, Fast Connection

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.

Slow Computer, Slow Connection

I have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

Enjoy Guys!

A Hacker's Manifesto....

I am a hacker, enter my world...

Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...

Damn underachiever. They're all alike.

I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."

Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...

Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...

Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...

You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

(***The Mentor***)

Just can't understand...

I just can't really get it...

dunno if they are really that good.. or if they are just envy of me... I mean.. why compete with me if we can all work together? ayt... Coping up with the fast growing technology isn't bad.. It's actually a good thing... but why? why the competition? If you don't need me... then I don't need you too... It's the way of life.. but you can't just hide the fact that you still need my computer "mad skills"... d nman sa pagmmyabang... pero it just really pisses me off! You can't just keep walking around like you're the best there is... kanya-kanya na nga tayo ng mga kliyente... may kanya2 dn teong forte.. kea pwede b? just fuck off! You can't be just competing with me the rest of your life... pasalamat keo.. d ko kayo kita pnpp2lan... auq lng n mphiya kayo... pero if you can't stop nosing on someone else's business.. fine with me.. you'll be needing me soon.. you just can't beat me.. that's for sure... Tryin' to be king when the ACE is back? oh c'mon! D nyo p aq kaya.. damn script kiddies...

The Start of "Dear Diary"

5:37 pm... @ our not yet done living room...

It's been one helluva day today.. yeah literally.. as in hell.. impiyerno! The temperature is scorching hot! Goddman it! I was on the way back home after school when I felt the sudden heat surfacing my body... I can feel the sweat pouring out of my glands... ang init pa man din sa katawan nung suot kong polo shirt.. It is one of the feelings I hate the most.. (Wish I could just be in my room with a turned on air conditioning system...) damn.. even inside the jeepney that I rode was so hot when it's supposed to be a refreshing journey... 20 minutes of a travel I never imagined I will experience...again! grabeng patok na jeep yun! napakainit tlga! shit! I kept my hopes of comfort up not until I had my back laid on the next trip I'm about to take.. a taxi ride (not the usual cabs.. but the AUV's having 10 passengers sharing the same jaunt.. a.k.a FX ride! yeah!). I was expecting for a cooler breeze.. syempre aircon yun at ang mahal ng pamasahe ko noh! but I was wrong.. maybe the weather affected even the vehicle's air conditionong system.. God I'm dying!!!! Jusko po!

but at least, I was pacified...

a really cute female student about my age from one of the most rich universities together w/ her little sister (probably around 3-5 years of age) and I will be sharing the same trip.. that means.. We will be in front of each other's faces for the next 45 mins of a searing journey...

The little girl is also cute.. she kept on smiling at me eventhough she knows that I'm a total stranger to her.. she's talkative and loud so that kept me smiling for the rest of the journey.. her "ate", having discovered her baby sister exchange smiles w/ me, glanced at me for a while and asked if I mind sharing a donut with them... Syempre pakipot ang lolo.. I declined the offer.. a simple smile has cooled up a very singe afternoon maybe for both of us.. we didn't even noticed that the trip was about to end and we're separating ways... nice afternnon din naman pla after all.. i thought...

I could have asked for the cute student's number but I didn't. Not because I'm a stupid dickhead wasting opportunities.. but just because I have this one particular girl always in my mind... Once she entered and wouldn't leave.. God I really miss her... pero sa ibang post ko na ike2wento kng sino sya.. hehehe...

'till next post guys..
