What’s New in Firefox 3.5 (RC3)
Firefox 3.5 (Release Candidate) is based on the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering platform, which has been under development for the past year. Firefox 3.5 offers many changes over the previous version, supporting new web technologies, improving performance and ease of use, and adding new features for users:
* This release candidate is now available in more than 70 languages – get your local version.
* Improved tools for controlling your private data, including a Private Browsing Mode.
* Better performance and stability with the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine.
* The ability to provide Location Aware Browsing using web standards for geolocation.
* Support for native JSON, and web worker threads.
* Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
* Support for new web technologies such as: HTML5 video and audio elements, downloadable fonts and other new CSS properties, JavaScript query selectors, HTML5 offline data storage for applications, and SVG transforms.
Has anyone tried it yet? I think I may wait until it’s officially released.
Easily Redirect To A Random URL Using PHP
Using the code below, you can send a visitor to one URL and then have them redirected to a random URL. All you have to do is open notepad, copy the code below, change the addresses and then save it as “whatever.php”. You can also add more addresses by adding more lines and changing the number.
<?php $url[0] = "http://www.google.com"; $url[1] = "http://www.yahoo.com"; $url[2] = "http://www.47movies.com"; srand ((double)microtime()*1000000); $randomnum = rand(0, count($url)-1); header ("Location: $url[$randomnum]"); ?> |
Right now, I’m using this to redirect visitors to a random sponsor on a website that I recently closed down. I redirect all 404s to the index of the site using htaccess and then the index.php file contains the random redirect.
Wordpress 2.8 Update May Bring New Layout
I just recently updated to Wordpress 2.8 and unfortunately, it broke some elements in the layout. I fixed them, but that made me think about creating a new layout from scratch. The site layout that you see now is a customized free template that I found online. At first I liked how clean it was, but now I think it’s boring. Is that bad to say? Maybe I’ll start brainstorming for new layout ideas. We’ll see…
Hardcore Reactor – Total Liquid Submersion
It’s been a few months now since the launch, but I just found this yesterday. This is by far the coolest PC that I’ve seen in a while. All of the components are totally immersed in non-conductive liquid coolant.
CORE COOLANT
Core Coolant is a mineral-oil-like substance that’s approximately 750 times denser than air and can store twice as much heat per unit of mass. In other words, Core Coolant has tremendous heat capacity—the maximum amount of heat containable in an entire air-cooled PC tower can be stored in 1 cubic inch of Core Coolant. Unlike water, Core Coolant is non-conductive and doesn’t harbor microorganisms. Fluids like Core Coolant have cooled electronics for decades in the transformer industry.
WHAT WE COOL AND HOW
Reactor’s active components are fully submerged in Core Coolant. Our Total Liquid Submersion technology cools in two ways: natural convection (described above) and forced convection (pumped coolant). Core Coolant circulates through Reactor’s radiator at 2.5 gallons per minute. Most internal components cool via natural convection, but these items get coolant pumped directly to them:
1. CPU (has a heat sink)
2. Northbridge (has a heat sink)
3. GPU (has a heat sink)
4. Power supplies
Reactor’s direct cooling plumbing track ends at the heat sinks, where the directed Core Coolant disperses and
integrates with the fluid in the tank.
For any heat sink to work effectively, thermal interface material performance is paramount. On Reactor, the thermal interface between the CPU and its heat sink is made of indium, which is simple to install and transfers heat extremely well.
Now, for the bad news:
Reactor Price: $3108.00
Reactor Pro Price: $3936.00
Reactor Extreme Price: $9167.00
The base price isn’t to bad, but I think the only problem is that everything is proprietary and there’s not much room for personal customizations. What do you think?

Happy Anniversary!
I just wanted to let everybody know that today marks the one year anniversary of my blog. I would like to think that I’ve made many useful posts and that you have enjoyed reading everything. I’m always looking to improve my sites and only time will tell what’s in store for future improvements to this site. I hope you come back on a regular basis to see how it evolves.
