George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's pets

Having a pet can be a lot of fun. You can play with them, cuddle them and love them. A pet is a huge responsibility and we need to look after them. Did you know that two very well known men also had pets? We are talking about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Lets read more about this. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the USA. He really loved cats a lot. He would spend hours playing with them and when his wife was asked if the president had a hobby she would always say that 'Cats' were his hobby. At the time when the Civil war was almost at an end, the president went to visit General Grant that lived in Virginia. When he got there he saw kittens next to the office of General Grant and the president was happy and excited. He found out that the poor kittens were orphans, that means their mother was dead. He made sure that these little kittens were taken care of and went to good homes. He did not only love cats. Even though he said that cats were his favorite animals, he loved all animals and took care of them. He believed that if you are a good person, you will be kind to all animals. He had goats, a horse and a dog, they all lived by the White House (the house of the president) and he also had a cat named Tabby and he was the 'first White house cat.' George Washington was the 1st president of the USA and he loved dog. He owned a lot of dogs in his life time - more than 40 of them... A lot of dogs went with their masters to war to protect them and keep them company. This was no different for George Washington. Before he became president, there was a war between Britain and the USA. The British had a general called general Howe and he also took his dog with him. During the battle between the two sides, the general's dog got lost and the USA troops found him and took him to George Washington. They thought that he would just keep the dog, it was after all his enemy's dog, but that did not happen... George fed the dog, brushed him and then he ordered the soldiers that they had to stop shooting so that he could safely return the dog to his owner. He knew how he would have felt if he lost his dog and he did not want somebody else to feel that sad, so he did a very good deed. Have a look at the video that tells this story - you can even read the story by yourself.

Speed Up Firefox By Enabling the New Mozzila Cache System



Besides just enabling HTTP pipelining to reduce the latency between loading web pages, there are other ways to Speed Up Firefox
1.      It’s not enabled by default, but by opening up a browser tab and heading over to about:config.
2.      Once you’re there, enter browser.cache.use_new_backend into the search box. It should pop up fairly quickly.
3.      Move your mouse over to the “0” and right click on it. A context menu should pop up. Inside this context menu, just click the modify option.
4.      Change the 0 to a 1 and press the OK button.
5.      Doing this will bring up a text box with “0” already inside it. Change the “0” to a “1” and press the OK button. After this is done, Firefox should be using the new caching system.

I hope these few tricks willl be able to make Firefox just a little bit faster.

Speed Up Firefox By Enabling HTTP Pipelining

This  simple tweak is known simply as HTTP pipelining, this enables the browser  to  send multiple requests at a time. Doing this will improve the speed in which your browser loads pages.

1.      Launch Firefox Browser and type about:config into the address bar and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
2.      Once you have made it to about:config, you’ll see a warning. Accept it, to gain access to the Firefox browser configuration area.
3.      Click on the search box and type: network.http.pipelining
4.      Once it’s entered, you should see it pop up.
5.      When you see what you’ve searched for, you’ll notice that it’s set to false. Double click on it and you’ll be able to set “network.http.pipelining” to “true,” thus enabling HTTP pipelining.
6.      Double-click and set network.http.pipelining to true.

Enable HTTP pipelining behind a proxy
If the network you are connected to is located behind a proxy of some sort, you’ll need to do an additional step for this to work. Inside the about:config window, search for network.http.proxy.pipelining.
Just like before, you’ll need to double-click on what you’ve searched for inside about:config to enable it. After that, HTTP pipelining should be enabled on proxies!
1.      Double-click network.http.proxy.pipelining to enable it.

INTERNET TWEAK #1 (Increase Internet Speed)

In order for this trick to work, we need to tweak the System Registry and delete some reference to a key so that this feature will not be loaded. to get started, follow these steps:

  1. Open up the Registry Editor by clicking the Start Menu and selecting Run.
  2. Then type regedit in the text box and click the OK button.
  3. Once the Registry Editor has loaded, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.                    
  4. Next, expand Software and then Microsoft. Locate Windows and expand that as well.
  5. You will want to edit the main system files, so expand CurrentVersion.
  6. Because this feature is a feature of the Windows component known as Explorer, expand the Explorer key.
  7. Next, you will want to modify the remote computer settings, so expand the RemoteComputer key
  8. and then expand the NameSpace key to show all of the features that are enabled when you browse to a remote computer.
  9. Now In the NameSpace folder you will find two entries. One is "{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}" which tells Explorer to show printers shared on the remote machine.
  10. The other, "{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}," tells Explorer to show remote scheduled tasks.
  11. This is the one that you should delete. This can be done by right-clicking the name of the key and selecting Delete.

Tip:
If you have no use for viewing remote shared printers and are really only interested in shared files, consider deleting the printers key, "{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}", as well. This will also boost your browsing speed.

Once you have deleted the key, you just need to restart and the changes will be in effect. Now your network computer browsing will be without needless delays
