Increase Safari’s (win) rendering speed

Apple’s native browser Safari has been released for PC platforms today but many found it to be more of a bloat app with show render times. The rendering speed is increased with a simple modification in this location:

“C:\Program Files\Safari\Safari.resources”

NOTE: Make sure Safari is closed!

Open up Defaults.plist and add the following line:

<key>WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay</key>
<real>0.25</real>

This should make Safari Render faster :)

Software-free e-mail spoofing

So you want to play a trick on a friend? Here is an easy way to spoof an email address from within his own company. And him looking at the internet headers won’t save him ;-)

So many times I hear people asking how to spoof an email sender address. This is a relatively easy task but I find so many false advertisements for software that say they can do it.

This method will only work by spoofing email to and from people in the same organization, which in reality can be the most damaging ;-)

Bypassing command prompt blocking

Many places like schools, public pc cafe’s etc block the command prompt to keep the ever so intrigued away from it. Here are some ideas as how to open the cmd when you have it blocked:

1. Open the calculator and click on help > help topics.

When the help window opens right next to where it says ‘calculator’ ( top left corner ) there is a ‘ ? ‘ symbol , right click on it and select jump to URL and put this;

file:///c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe

then click open. Magic the command prompt opens automatically. If calculator is blocked you can do the same in any of the windows XP games.

2. Using the same text as above; “file:///c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe”

You can open Excel and create a HYPERLINK with the this text, click OK and then click in the link in the excel cell. Click OK in both windows that will pop up and the command prompt will open.

3. Open notepad, type cmd.exe and save it as “anynamehere.bat”.

Run this bat file and enjoy the dark confines of the command prompt.

“Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” - Confucius.
