I recently made a DMG of OSX 10.5.6 off of the original Apple Install DVD via Disk Utility. I then restored it to a partition on my PCI ExpressCard to act as an installer and boot from it when needed.
The problem I am having is that when I rebook, Finder opens as if I had inserted the actual optical disc. To solve this problem, you need to open Terminal and execute:
sudo bless -folder /Volumes/X
Where X is the drive name.
Solid State Hard Drives (SSD) are incredibly fast. Nowadays, you don't replace your laptop, you replace your hard drive. However, there are a couple of things you need to know about SSDs. For example, their limited lifetime. Let's take for example Intel X25-M 80GB SSD.
Intel aimed to make it last AT LEAST 5 years under NORMAL USAGE CONDITIONS, the 5 year estimate is based on a ludicrously high amount of writes per day.
Only Intel guarantees that their SSDs will lasts 5 years at least. If you manage to somehow use it up before that they will replace it under warranty. However, it is totally unrealistic even on a heavy server load.
80GB x 100,000 life-time writes * (1 data unit /1.1 write amplification overhead) = 7.27 million GB lifetime writes of data. Write speed 70 MB/s = 0.07 GB/s
7.27 million GB lifetime writes of data / 0.07 GB/s = 103.8 million seconds lifetime writes of data
103.8 x 1,000,000/1 million x minute/60 seconds x hour / 60 minutes x day / 24 hours x year / 365 days = 3.29 year lifetime writes of data. (double it for the 160GB version)
So if you max out the sequential writes at a nice flat 70MB/s which is the drive's max, and it has a write amplification of 1.1, and you do that 24/7/365 non stop, it will last 3.29 years.
of course, to put this in perspective:
0.07 GB/s x 60 seconds / minute x 60 minutes / hour x 24 hours / day = 6048 GB a day written to an 80GB drive. every day, 24/7/365 non stop writing.

If you don't know what PeerGuardian 2, the possibilities of your PC making an unwanted connections to P-2-P or other sites on the last 24 hours is close to 99.99%!
PeerGuardian 2 is premier IP blocker for Windows that protects your privacy and make tracking you back specially when you're using P-2-P difficult if not impossible.
| File | Description | Size |
|---|---|---|
| pg2-9x.exe | PeerGuardian 2 for Windows 98/ME | 0.82MiB |
| pg2-nt.exe | PeerGuardian 2 for Windows 2000/XP/2003 | 0.84MiB |
| pg2-x64.exe | PeerGuardian 2 for Windows XP/2003 x64 Edition | 1.07MiB |
| pg2-src.zip | PeerGuardian 2 source code (for programmers) | 1.33MiB |
The only drawbacks of PeerGuardian 2 is, it keeps log of your blocked connections and the problem is even worse if you are logging the allowed connections. What that means is, with time your history.db size could take up some Gigabytes of your hard drive.
In my situation, I'm pretty comfortable with the connections I make and I don't want any history logging. The best way to solve this is
If you're like me reading a lot of eBooks, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft CHM engine are great tool if you are working under windows. However, under Apple Mac, For PDF, we have (Preview) which I think is even better than Adobe Acrobat as well as we have Adobe Acrobat for Macs.
The challenge is what about those Microsoft compiled HTML files or CHM? Well, we have a couple of choices:
luckily, Chimp 1.1 can be downloaded from here: Chimp 1.1
Literally, I have tried all of these applications. Non of them come close to QuickSilver except one that is not mentioned above here. The reason is you have to spend some extra $$$ to get it. It is called Dash Command and you can download it from here. (Download). Dash is the latest attempt for the Microsoft Windows platforms to emulate the power, flexibility, and usefulness of QuickSilver. Dash Command seems to be a great step in the right direction unlike many of the above listed applications. It’s elegant, and very light of system resources, and the functionality is even fairly fluid.
You can try use it for free and it will do everything from launching your applications on the start menu, except you can't define your own actions nor launch system commands. You have to buy a license for that, but if launching applications on the tip of your finger is all what you're seeking, Dash Command is your friend!

There are a lot of software that claim to speed up Microsoft Windows, some stand up to that claim, but wisdom says (If you don't know how to drive, don't buy a car!) <--My wisdom! So, let's see how we can speed up Windows!
There are a lot of patches and such to stop and remove ads from Windows Live Messenger. I even tried some (without naming), at the cost of stability of the program (Video/Audio chat stopped working), also these patches don't actually stop pulling the ads from Microsoft Ad Server! They just remove the banner ad at the bottom of Windows Live Messenger!
So, what's the easiest most effective way to stop Windows Live Messenger from pulling the Ads from Microsoft servers while you know what's going on? Well, the old plain loopback trick!
That's it! No more ads from Micro$oft!
