Kiss and download youtube videos



Hey people this is a HOT way to download youtube videos. You just need to append the word "KISS" before a youtube link.
eg. To download a video having url as shown below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6PHJg9D_Sk
Just place "kiss" as www.kissyoutube. Hence the url will now appear as
http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=c6PHJg9D_Sk

However, you will need to have Java installed, as this website uses a Java applet.
Have a hot session with youtube download. ;)

Remove Unwanted Icon from My Computer



You must have noticed those icons like "Nokia Phone Browser", "Sony Ericsson Mobile" etc. whenever you install a Mobilephone PC Suite, or when you've connected a bluetooth device. They may be convenient but sometimes you may like to remove them permanently form "My Computer".
This can be easily accomplished by the following registry hack:

1. Open Start menu(or Run) and type Regedit.exe and press enter.
A Window will pop open as shown under:
reg

2. Now Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace


3. Click on the member keys of Namespace and on the right side pane you will see their names. Just right click on the key and select "Delete" or simply press the "DEL" key.

Conhost.exe a new system file in windows 7



If you are one of those users who regularly switch to taskmanager to view and adjust memory/processor usage, then you might have noticed a new process called "conhost.exe" which is located in eg. C:\Windows\System32.
So, it means its a system file.
This system file stands for, "console host", meaning it deals with the command prompt.
It basically performs two tasks:
1. It links the crss.exe file with the cmd.exe so that the windows theme is not affected by the command prompt.
2. It also adds a Drag and Drop functionality to the command prompt, where you now can drop files and folders.

Think you've mastered Linux!! Test your skills at suicide Linux.... But if you fail......... }:-)




Hey are you the one who think that its high time now that you should now be recognised as a Linux Guru. If yes, then why don't you try Suicide Linux
Its certainly for those Geekish and crazy computer peoples who have mastered Bash, then go for this Suicide Linux.
However, if you even enter a single wrong command(even a spelling mistake like, "alais" instead of "alias") then ......... OOPs....... it will be parsed as "rm -rf /" which in Linux means, "wipe out the entire hard disk".....
So, if you are really a crazy computer freak then do try this linux distro.( I'm certainly not the one!!!)
