Lunascape Multi-Rendering-Engine Browser

Lunascape is a new browser that allows you to switch rendering engines on-the-fly. Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome/Apple Safari all use different rendering engines and JavaScript engines to display your pretty web pages to you. This is the root cause of browser incompatibility issues—different engines interpret things (like web “standards”) differently and so you see pages display differently. This is the bane of a lot of developers, as we have to fight the many, many quirks that abound when we use certain parts of the DOM or certain JavaScript or CSS tricks. For a lot more on these issues, QuirksMode is a great resource.

Lunascape presents an interesting product. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of things evolve from them. I have Firefox, Internet Explorer  and Google Chrome all installed and at the ready. It’s pretty simple, though a bit annoying, to boot up IE to make sure a page renders properly, even though we develop under Firefox.  (There are FF extensions that make this a simple right-click affair, however.) Lunascape simplifies the process a bit by allowing you to switch a tab’s rendering engine just with a right-click. And it works, for sure.

You Are My World......

You my sweet love
I miss ever so much
The softness of your lips
and your warm loving touch


Many uncontrollable circumstances
have kept us sometimes apart
Yet every moment i carry you
Deep within my heart


When ever we are together
My spirit is such aglow
You always color my world
Like a beautiful rainbow


You are the love of my life
that you will always be
The special times we share
Just mean everything to me


Each time we kiss
Theres nothing so sublime
always deliciously so fresh
like the very first time


Holding you close in my arms
Flames my passion and desire
My soul ever so burns
Like I am ravaged in fire


Each day I find happiness
Such joy and laughter
Knowing that soon we will be
Together, And living
Happily ever after.

Smart Investing

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died last night."

Kenny replied: "Well then, just give me my money back."

The farmer said: "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Kenny said: "OK then, just unload the donkey."

The farmer asked: "What you gonna to do with him?"

Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off." (Note: To raffle is to sell a thing by lottery - draw lot -! To a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket)

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"

Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.00."

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"

Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars."

Sardar Again....

One fine day a Girl proposed to a Sardar and Sardar denied simply, saying that in our Family we marry only
our relatives : My Mom married my Dad, my Brother married my Bhabhi, My Uncle married my Aunt and so on.
Hence, please excuse me.
=====================

Sardarjee to a woman: "I want to marry you" . Woman: "But I am one year elder to you."Sardarjee: "No Problem, then I will marry you next year."
=======================

Two Sardars went into a pub and after ordering two beers took some sandwiches out of their pockets and
started to eat them."You can't eat your own sandwiches in here,"complained the pub-owner.
So the two sardars swapped (exchanged) their sandwiches.
===========================

Once upon a time, a Sardarji saw a boy who wore his cap in the back direction. This event really harrased
the social nature of sardarji and then he also decided to wear his pagari (turban) in the backward
direction . While he was on his way to his office another S ardar saw h im and asked
"Sardarji aa rahe ho ke jaarahe ho".
============================

A sardar was very fond of sensational and detective novels, but he always started reading from the middle.
A friend of his asked why he did so?" It'z doubly interesting", said the Sardar. "To start from
the middle keeps one curious not only about its conclusion but also about its beginning.
============================

A Sardar died and went to heaven. When he got to the pearly gate Saint Peter told him that new rules were
in effect due to the advances in education on earth. In order to gain admittance a prospective heavenly
soul must answer two questions: 1. Name two days of the week that begin with "T". 2. How many seconds
are there in a year? The Sardar thought for a few minutes and answered... 1. The two days of the week
that begin with "T" are Today and Tomorrow. 2. There are 12
seconds in a year. Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll buy the Today andTomorrow, even though it's not the answer
I expected,so your answer is correct. But how did you get only 12 seconds in a year?" The Sardar replied, "Well,
January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd, etc...." Saint Peter lets him in without another word.

Sweetheart, I love you

Hello, Sweetheart, I love you
Just thought that you should know
How you fill my heart with gladness
My love for you still grows

I've loved you from the very start
When we met my heart just knew
That you were meant for only me
And I was meant for you

You brought sunlight to my life
You make me feel complete
Together, we are a perfect set
We share one single heartbeat

I know I don't tell you enough
The words you long to hear
Believe me when I tell you now
How much I love you Dear

Love Story....

An incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world.
It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.

The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple's home for the last 50 years.
Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu Chaoqin..
In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends and relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.
At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.. To avoid the market gossip and the scorn of their communities, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing Municipality.
In the beginning, life was harsh as hey had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to light up their lives.

Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, 'Are you regretful? Liu always replied, 'As long as we are industrious, life will improve.'
In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and continued for over 50 years, to hand-carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.
Half a century later in 2001, a group of adventurers were exploring the forest and were surprised to find the elderly couple and the over 6,000 hand-carved steps. Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, 'My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day. He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother's convenience, although she doesn't go down the mountain that much.'

The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife's hand even after he had passed away.

'You promised me you'll take care of me, you'll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?'

Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband's black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks....
In 2006, their story became one of the top 10 love stories from China , collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the love ladder and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

OfficeTab Adds Tabs to Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office plug-in OfficeTab adds tabbed document support to Excel, Word, and PowerPoint—one can only wonder why Microsoft doesn't include this feature by default.

Once you've installed OfficeTab, you can head into the settings panel, where you can enable or disable tabbed support in each application, move the tabs to the side or bottom, and change the appearance of the tabs with a number of styles to choose from. You can right-click the tab bar to add a new document tab, and each time you open a document it will be added to a new tab automatically.

OfficeTab is a free download for Windows only, and while it was created by a Chinese programmer, the download itself contains an
English version. Readers should note that on our test machine, at least, we got a Visual Studio setup prompt every time we opened an Office application after setting up this plug-in—but your mileage may vary.

TrueCrypt: Encrypt your data

Recommended Reading.
Everyone's got files they'd like to keep out the the hands of intruders or casual passerby. Ever concerned you'll lose the thumb drive where you backed up four years of post-graduate research? Every worried your 5-year-old will accidentally open the um, grownup files just meant for Mommy and Daddy? Worry no more. Today we'll go over a simple way to encrypt sensitive files or entire external disk drives to protect them from prying eyes.

TrueCrypt is a free, open source encryption application that works on Windows and Linux. Given the right credentials, TrueCrypt will create a virtual hard drive that will read and write encrypted files on the fly. Huh-wha? Fear not; this'll make
sense once we get it set up. Let's get started.

Set up the encrypted volume location

1. Download TrueCrypt, install and launch.
2. Hit the "Create Volume" button to launch the wizard that prepares the encrypted drive location. Choose "Create a Standard TrueCrypt Volume" and hit Next. Hit the "Select File" button and navigate to a location to store your encrypted files and type a name for it. I'm going with "C:\Documents and Settings\gina\My Documents\gtrapani.4meonly" as shown. (Click to enlarge.)
   
   
   
   
   (That .4meonly extension is my own creation; your file can have any - or no - extension.) Keep in mind that this isn't the file you want to encrypt; it's a big file container that will store the files you want encrypted all scrambled up like eggs inside it. Hit Next.
   
3. Choose your encryption algorithm. The curious can flip through the dropdown and view info on each option, but you pretty much can't go wrong here; the default AES selection will work for most purposes. (Hey, if it works for Top Secret government files, it probably will work for you.) Hit Next. Choose the size of the virtual drive - for example, 100MB, as shown.
   
   
   
   Yes, it's a pain to have to commit to a size beforehand, but the advantage here is that the file will always look like it's exactly
   100MB, giving no hint to the actual size of its contents. Hit Next.
4. Choose your volume password. TrueCrypt wants something totally badass, like 20 characters with letters and numbers mixed together, something hard to crack. The whole point here is to keep snoopers at bay, so make your password reasonably difficult to crack or guess.
5. Format the "volume." This part is cool: TrueCrypt gathers random information from your system - including the location of your mouse pointer - to format the file drive location with random data to make it impossible to read. Hit the Format button to go ahead with this operation, which may slow down your computer for a few seconds. (And don't be scared by the word "Format"; you're not erasing your hard drives or anything, you're just formatting the drive location file - in this example, the gtrapani.4meonly file - you just created.)

Congrats! Your encrypted volume location is ready for use.

Store and retrieve files from the encrypted volume

Now you've got a TrueCrypt file that can hold all your highly-sensitive data files locked up tight as a drum. Here's how to get to it.

1. From TrueCrypt, choose "Select File" and navigate to the volume file you created above, as shown.
   
               
   
2. Select an available drive letter from the list in TrueCrypt, like Z:. Hit the "Mount" button, and enter the volume password you createdabove.
3. If you enter the correct password, the virtual drive Z: will be mounted. Go to My Computer and listed alongside all the other drives on yourcomputer, there will be a new one listed "Local Disk Z:." Drag and drop all your sensitive data to this drive and work from it as if you wouldany other disk.
4. Once you're finished working with the data, in TrueCrypt, select the mounted drive (like Z:) and hit the "Dismount" button. The Z: drive will no longer be available, and all you'll have left is the gtrapani.4meonly file you created, which can be dropped onto a thumb drive, emailed to yourself, burned to CD or placed on your iPod, totally encrypted.

Note: Using TrueCrypt you can secure an entire drive - like a USB thumb drive. To do so, instead of hitting "Select File," use "Select
Device" and choose your thumb drive. Using TrueCrypt on a drive will decrease performance due to the encryption overhead when compared to using a disk directly.
