Searching beyond Google Search

We all are Google lovers.. Aren't we ??? Google search is definitely the best search working on best algorithm to give you much relevant and I think it is the fastest search also. But as we know every good thing comes with some curse. Google is  also not an exception.
Below  is the site to give you more inside story of Google Search...

                           http://donttrack.us/

Many  solutions are  given in the above site.

My favourite one is http://duckduckgo.com/ . This is a very good search engine solving various problems.

It doesn't show results based on personal information.

I felt the same that from my browser my own website ranking is higher than any of my  friend's browser...

This is what and how google keeps everybody happy....

Linux Mint 12 {dubbed LISA} RC Review

      Linux Mint was the first distro for which "Love at first sight" holds true. I started from Mint 8,then still sticking with Mint 9 because of LTS.
      Mint 10 and 11 has not been much different in terms of looks from 9.So I stick  with 9 with my own customization.  One of the reason to not trying out Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 or mint 10 and Mint 11 was the there were several issues going on Like Gnome 3 vs Gnome 2 vs ububtu unity.So I preferred trying  them in VM.
     I like the way Gnome 3 is going. So far Gnome 3.2 is a nice experience. So I finally motivated to give Linux Mint 12 a serious try. After reading this preview blog my motivation increased  two fold.  Here is the link http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1851 ...
Although its a RC but its looking nice. I tried it in a Virtual Box only Live Mode...

It contains following packages worth mentioning....
*banshee
*vlc
*synaptic{not removed}
*mozilla firefox 7.0.1 {with no google search by default- comes with "duck duck go"}
*Advance System Settings{mac like}
* LibreOffice 3.4.3
* By default no fortune

below is the ScreenShot Tour


1. Default Desktop Look and Feel with hardware acceleration enabled to run Gnome3

2. Gnome 3 activated

3. Gnome 3 All application Render

4. Mint Menu Gnome 2 style in Gnome 3..All thanks to Mint development Team

5. Fallback mode{if hardware is not accelerated }

6. No Google Search in toolbar{Duck Duck is not bad}

7. Resolution options{Good one I always wanted something Like That}

8. A visible gconf-editor

Hope you like the screenshots..

Handling large failed file download in mozilla firefox

Note : this article may or may not work depending upon your luck and server's configuration.
Here we go...

If you have a failed download then you must have a file named failedfile.part in mozilla download folder.
1. Copy this file somewhere . Means it should not be in download folder.
2. Restart your failed download , it will start downloading from begining , don't worry.
After downloading around 500 kb or untill a .part file appears in your download directory
3. pause the download.
4.Then replace the new .part file by the old .part file then resume your download .

This should work but this method is not guaranteed I will take no claim of loss. Use any good download manager to avoid such situations. But download manager can't download all files :-remember this fact. If you want such example comment below.
In windows .part file may be hidden take care of this as well as windows.

This situation works{supposed to} where resuming your firefox download gives error "contact server's administrator"
