It seems that there is a recent problem with SWFObject in Firefox: SWFObject does not load Flash, and it just keeps displaying the alternative content for browsers without Flash enabled. Upgrading Flash player does not solve this Firefox specific problem.
The ironic part is that it seems that the source code of SWFObject has not been changed recently. So this bug is related with Firefox, and most probably, with a corrupted automatic Flash Player update that conflicts with SWFObject just in Firefox. A normal reinstallation of the latest Flash Player does not seem to solve the problem.
One way to solve specific SWF Object problems in Firefox is disabling the automatic hiding of the alternate content till the Flash content is fully loaded. This bug has been reported for Firefox 3.5 and is solved just by adding swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow() in the SWFObject code.
Another thing to check is adding all the Javascript code for SWFObject inside the document head. Placing the code for initialization inside the document body seems to make SWFObject stop working in Firefox.
If all the previous fixes fail, the only way to solve this SWFObject problem in Firefox thus far would be reverting to a very old SWFObject version. Both SWFObject 2.1 and the recent SWFObject 2.2 versions seem to be experiencing this problem in Firefox, but versions from when SWFObject was still called FlashObject seem to work fine.
If this problem is not solved quickly it would be better to remove SWFObject from the webpage, or probably several Firefox users won't be accessing the Flash content. The latest posts on this bug tracking thread seem to be closely related to this bug. Let's keep an eye on it till the fix is found.
Maybe when you entered at some of your playlists at Spotify, you found out that one or more of your Spotify tracks are missing, as if those songs were erased from your playlist automatically.
Well, your tracks weren't erased. The fact is that Spotify is continuosly dealing with record companies and all sorts of music publishing companies. That's why Spotify may have lost the play rights for those songs, and then they decided to remove those songs temporarily. But these songs haven't been erased from your playlist: these songs have only been hidden.
You cannot play those songs, but you can get your tracks back on Spotify (keeping your playlists, so you may be able to listen to that songs in the future, if they restore such songs, or to keep just a backup of your musical preferences). This is how to do it:
And that's how to get your tracks back on Spotify when temporary song removals take place!

One of the easiest ways to speed up Windows is closing unnecessary taks and processes. That's why sometimes we want to kill many Windows programs / processes, but we do not want to disable neither manually nor forever. It could be a group of programs that we rarely use, but which require some system process running permanently. So when we turn on the computer with other task in mind, we don't want these unneeded processes consuming Windows resources continuously.
That's why we are going to create a batch file (.BAT) which with a double click on it will kill as many Windows processes as we want.
So let's open Windows Notepad (Shortcuts: "Start Menu / Run / Notepad" or "Windows Key + R / Notepad") and then typing:
Example:
"IM" lets us input the name of the Windows process to kill, and "/F" enforces such process closing action and kills them forcefully preventing confirmation prompts or hanged.
If we want to specify a group of programs to close, we should only repeat the previous line of code with each process name, inside the same file.
Example file:
Once this file is ready, we should keep it using File / Save as...
And after the name chosen for this file we should appen the .bat file extension. That's how we create a Batman file... well, no, a .BAT file (batch process).
To save a .bat file using notepad we have to change the file type, which is by default Text Files (*.txt), choosing All Files. This is very important. Otherwise, we would just creating a text document called "whatever.bat".txt, and that won't work.
Let's also pick the ANSI encoding type for this process kill bat file.
And finally, we click on the save button to store the file.
By default, this creates a file with an icon like this icon, depending on your own system icon configuration set.
Now, whenever we want to close every Windows process specified in the file, we only need to double click that file, and it will perform the automatic process killing for us.
Running a .BAT file is like running the Windows command prompt code to close all the processes, but these batch files perform all the necessary actions automatically, in no time.
We can also check a complete and detailed list of the values and parameters that we could add after "TASKKILL" just clicking in Start / Run (Windows + R), typing cmd (to run the Windows command prompt), and typing at this window: TASKKILL/?.
If we want to reopen every Windows process previously killed with our .BAT file, with no need to reboot Windows, we can automatically perform the reverse operation, creating another .BAT (same process as before) this way:
To specify the full path of the target program we can only use ASCII text, with no accents or other special characters.
Example:
NOTE: This trick to run or kill Windows process also works to create a .BAT file to automatically open our most used apps (using the "START" Windows command), and another .BAT to kill these programs (the TASKKILL command file).
Let's face it: a good and eye catching image can improve your articles, websites and presentations.
But you already knew that you couldn't reuse any image that you found in Internet, didn't you? Most images out there are copyrighted, even if there aren't any explicit copyright statements or watermarks on the image. That means that you cannot pick and use whatever you find using Google Image search, for example.
So if you want to find a really free image, you have to look for an explicit license statement in its website, that entitles you to reuse such photo or graphic. One of the most popular licenses is Creative Commons, which lets you share your work with specific permissions.
But how do you find images under Creative Commons licenses? Don't worry: the 2 most popular search engines have been upgraded to cover this issue:
As you see, Internet is full of free images that you can use, if you know how to find them.
Did you know that there are plenty of quality books out there, that you can download for free in a legal way?
Here are some of the best free ebook download sites available:
With Internet, knowledge has no barriers (and nope, I'm not talking about piracy). So go download some free quality ebooks and PDFs at those sites and increase your knowledge!
By default, Windows XP maximum RAM amount is 2Gb. This operative system won't use more memory even with more RAM memory available already installed on the motherboard of our PC.
But there are some tricks to avoid this XP RAM limit, and make Windows XP use even 3Gb and even 4Gb of RAM when running some applications.
Let's open the BOOT.INI file. It is possible that this file could remain as a hidden file in some Windows XP versions, even after enabling the Windows "display hidden files" option. But to open this file you just need to type C:\boot.ini in the address bar of the Windows XP File Explorer.
Then let's find the following line of code inside such Windows configuration file:
[operating systems]
multi disk rdisk(7)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
After /fastdetect let's type a blank space and then /3GB.
The resulting Windows configuration line would be as follows:
[operating systems]
multi disk rdisk(7)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /3GB
To reach the Windows XP maximum RAM amount of 4Gb we have to add this configuration option to the previous Windows code: /PAE just before /3GB. The configuration file for the maximum RAM limit in XP would be as follows:
[operating systems]
multi disk rdisk(7)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /PAE /3GB
This enables the PAE mode and Windows XP would use 4Gb RAM, but only with software that supports this Windows PAE mode.
