kinda gay but whatever, I like doing as little as possible while using the comp.

1) on my dell if I want to open a new tab while clicking on a link, I press both clickers at the same time and a new tab w/ link pops open

how to hack live network cameras:

put these codes into google:
inurl:"viewerframe?mode=refresh" (include the " in the search)
inurl:/view/index.shtml
inurl:"Viewerframe?Mode="
SNC-RZ30 HOME
inurl:"viewerframe?mode=motion"
intitle:"Live View / - AXIS"

then click on the google links and you'll be able to control network cameras from all over the world.



also, here's a cool little thing to do with webpages (note: this will not harm sites or appear on any computer except your own):

once you're on a webpage, type this into the address bar and hit enter:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+ "px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+" px"}R++}setInterval( 'A()',5); void(0);

try messing around with the number values to make the effect change a bit.

cops won't show up at your door i guarantee it. some of those webcams are pretty awesome though, there's one in a university lab somewhere and you can check out all the cool stuff in there, and there's a traffic camera in Paris that i like to mess with, so fun.

i never knew that windows+d shortcut, nice one.

ive got pretty much all the firefox keyboard shortcuts on lock

ctrl+t   new tab
ctrl+n   new window
ctrl+w   close tab
ctrl+tab   cycle tabs
ctrl+shift+tab   cycle tabs backwards




another good one is alt+F4, try it, its sick if you have windows.

If you unplug your desktop, then plug back in real quick, it doubles your Ram speed for about an hour.

If you just got the new iTunes on a mac ( 8.0.1 ) and you want to get rid of the genre column in the browser then type this into a terminal window ( Apps>Utilities>Terminal ) , quit terminal then restart iTunes.

defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool FALSE
Not really a trick I know but it was pissing me off the other day and Apple removed the option in the preferences, you can do it on Windows too somehow.

i forgot one of the best ones, i hate watching people type the www. and .com into web addresses, just type the site into the address bar, then do ctrl+enter, and it fills it in for you.

On windows Alt+space+C is same as alt+f4. but quicker to type.

On Mac Apple Key and F6-12 i Think all move the windows around Apple key F8 gets rid of the window.

there's no way it gave you a trojan, you must have done something else that gave you a virus.

I remember on Microsoft word for XP and before, if you went to the "About" under the help menu (if I recall) You click a certain part of the microsoft logo and there was this game that you could play

lol, all this does is search for urls containing that string (hence the inurl command), which is common among online cameras. By no means "hacking" the camera, but its legit and you wont get the cops showin up or any virus's haha. Google has lots of neat features like this that you can use to find all sorts of good stuff

9. Go to Help>About Microsoft Word. 10. Left click the mouse once on the Word Icon (in blue on the left hand side). 11. You should get a black screen for a few seconds and then the pinball game will appear on the left hand side of the screen. On the right side of the screen you will see a scrolling list of the development team. 12. Use Z for the left flipper and M for the right one.

bypassing passwords is a form of hacking. this is a simple hack that takes no skill though.

Open microsoft pinball, hit new game and type "hidden game" before launching the ball. use lower case letters, and remember the space. hit Enter when you've typed it, and you should be able to move the ball around the table with your mouse!

i do this to kids that leave their computers logged on at school

it works on XP.         right click, new, shortcut, under the type location of shortcut write logoff. than just click ok and you have a shortcut that will log you off when you click it. What i usually do is change it to be named internet explorer, change the icon to the internet icon and delete the persons real internet explorer shortcut.
