With a simple line of code you can display (at a minimum) what is on a personĂ¢??s clipboard that uses IE with standard security set. I have also included directions on how to turn it off.

w00t! Finally out of tech support over the phone. Working as IT admin/support at Visual Jazz. Been there for two weeks now and its been quite fun and one hell of a train your brain sort of thing. Since I havent really been using my brain much since uni finished. Having to learn all these things, names etc.

Got Ubuntu 99% working on the Dell 630m. WiFi with WPA works and everything else is great. Of course for a laptop I'd still boot into Windows most of the time. Threw Ubuntu onto this PC (p3 ghetto box) man it ran like ass. I'll be putting xubuntu on it tomorrow and I'll see how that goes. If not I'll have to give dam small linux a shot as well.

Other Items
- 1.39c a liter for petrol. Bloody hell!
- c975 3g mobile is one chunky crap phone
- Timing belt and major service from Honda is $918
- There are no good games for the PSP besides Virtua Tennis and SF imo

Accuracy can be outstanding, but will depend on your printing setup. My cheap inkjet printer has an unmeasurable error vertically, but is too big by 0.2% horizontally (that is still less than half a millimeter over 200 millimeters). So I get great vertical rules

You Have Low Self Esteem 4% of the Time

Which can be translated to mean, you have high self-esteem and a healthy sense of self worth.
You believe in yourself, and you know how to be the real you. You love yourself, imperfections and all.

This person built a very handy flashlight out of an old TicTac mint box. It consists of an empty TicTac box (duh!), three batteries (that fits perfect), a small switch, a resistor and a bright LED.

If you're anything like me with a ghetto box and running Firefox sometimes (usually with IE) this little tweak will help FF from holding too much of your precious ram. Of course if you got hordes of ram I wouldn't bother but you might want the ram saved for other sutff too? Now all this tweak does is take the memory FF uses for its windows already open rather than keeping it in memory is to put it to the HDD.

On to the tweak pinched from - http://tech.cybernetnews.com/2006/03/26/this-may-help-your-firefox-memory-leak/

Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
In the box that pops up enter config.trim_on_minimize. Press Enter.
Now select True and then press Enter.
Restart Firefox.

Works for you? Let me know how it goes :)
