			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These hack are for advanced users, they can really mess up your system. Please make backups of your registry before you do anything else. Caveat utilitor!</p>

<p>MenuShowDelay. Thedefault valueis 400. Set it to 0</p>
<p>2nd hack-</p>
<p>This one places the windows kernel in ram ( the heart of the OS, do this only if you have over 1 gig of ram)</p>
<p>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\MemoryManagement\DisablePagingExecutive  set this to 1 to disable paging and have the kernel run in RAM</p>
<p>3rd hack-</p>
<p>Prefetch Parameters</p>
<p>This places system files into cache for faster loading ( do this is you have more than 1 gig of memory)</p>
<p>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemorManagement\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher Set this to 0 to disable prefetching, 1 to prefetch application launch files, 2 to prefetch boot files, and 3 to prefetch as many files as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are like me you have noticed that every website out there just loves to put flash on their site. Wether it&#8217;s actual content or just ads, it can be very distracting and annoying. Not to mention that it can hog your processor and kill your battery faster if its running on your laptop. I know my usage is not normal, and yes I can have 50 tabs open in safari at any given time ( my record is 145). That can really take its toll on your computer. There is something you can do about it. Install flashblock.</p>
<p><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/clicktoflash/ClickToFlash-1.4.2.zip">Download ClickToFlash 1.4.2 here</a></p>
<p>Install it and restart your safari, then you will get a blank screen where ever there is flash on a web page, if you want to see it, just click on it and it will load.</p>
