After learning how to use the Google filetype operator, now it’s time for Google.com’s site operator. This operator tells google that you only want to search pages from a specific site.
For example if you want to search things about Napoleon but only on .edu domain you’d use the query string:
Napoleon site:edu
Or if you want to search only a specific website, you can use:
Napoleon site:fordham.edu
Watch the next video for a more detailed view over the Google’s site operator.

Google is a great search engine, but its power unleashes only when used with some of its options that only few know.
Today we’ll discuss the “filetype” tag. Basically you just tell google you want a file that is a mp3 or a pdf.
For example let’s search for harry potter books in pdf. The query string would be:
harry potter filetype:pdf
I’ve managed to find a video that will help you understand exactly the usage of Google’s “filetype” tag.

Not many of you know that it’s possible to capture screenshots with Windows Media Player. Sure those who use more advanced players, like Bsplayer for instance, they have this option in their player menu.
Let me explain how to do it in Windows Media Player:
1) First of all open Windows Media Player
2) Then go to Now Playing menu and Select More Options.
3) Go to the Performance Tab, then chose Advanced
4) In the newly opened menu tick off the Use Overlay setting.

Now you’ll be able to capture screenshots using the “Print Screen” button on your keyboard, and then just paste it in your favorite image editor and save it as whatever you want.

It’s really annoying when Windows XP shows that bubble message saying: You are running out of disk space on C: (or any other drive). To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here.

I really hate it so this is one of the first things I do when I do a clean install of Windows XP.
I go to Start -> Run -> type regedit, press OK.

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer.
There, create a new DWORD value and call it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.
Double click the newly created value and enter the value 1 and press ok. Reboot and that message will never appear again.

This is a tutorial on how to use a proxy, because we received some questions about that.

Let’s take for example the following proxy from the list of proxies provided by us earlyer this month.

62.7.244.105:80 62.7.244.103 HTTP anon 30266 ms

The first part, 62.7.244.105:80 it’s the part we’ll need. What follows means what Ip will we have after we start using the proxy, HTTP it’s the type of proxy, anon means it’s anonymous (your real IP won’t be visible) and 30266 ms it’s the ping of the proxy. I know some of the terms may not be familiar but you don’t need to understand them. Just remember, the lowest the ping is, the better the proxy is, and you should mainly use anonymous proxies.

Now let’s look at the first part, 62.7.244.105:80. The part before the colon it’s the proxy IP and the part after the colon it’s the port used by the proxy. Now depending on your browser, use the following instructions.
