Youtube download for dummies

Perhaps the Dummies guide to use Keepvid. Referring to Youtube's Terms of service it does not clearly says but yeah, they don't want you playing around download videos since they are a streaming website. On the other hand, it is itself paradoxical. Because when we are seeing any video, it is being stored on the computer in the form of cache. Pretty much one can't distinguish downloading video from seeing it in the browser. Even though it would be good if you download only legal content, downloading copyrighted things which are itself uploading illegally is still a crime(just like downloading songs from pakistani website or using torrents to download movies) which is not advised.

1. Open Youtube.com and select your favorite video to play
   
   


2. Now select the URL and copy it. (right click and click copy).



3. Open keepvid.




4. Paste URL in the text box and click download

[How to] Save Protected Photos

It started with a bet. While stumbling through that image website, i noticed a really cool picture(skateboarding Fly!), it was protected, and if you right click and click save as. They'll will in turn save a GIF file named spaceball of 1x1 pixel resolution. The same applies for every protected picture.
I wanted to save it on my disk but it won't allow me to save it directly. Here's how to save them.

1.  It would be intrusive if i gave link to any protected picture. So when you find one.
2. As a line of text is selected, select the image(Drag the mouse from free space aside picture to the picture)
3. Right click the selection. In Firefox, click view selection source, a windows DOM source of selection would appear.

4. Go through the small piece of code, for convenience select Wrap long lines from the view menu. Identify the long and distinguished image URL and paste it on address bar
5. Now you can save it.

It's normal stuff, most of you would have eventually known it. Alas, thanks for the visit.

Remove Haloscan from Blogger Template

This is kind of awful to use Haloscan, my main problem was that i could never find that on which post the comment is posted. I chose to switch back to Blogger Comment system, which is not the best but atleast better than Haloscan, after reverting back to blogger comments, you can even add any else comment system, like Intense Debate.

It is a very easy job to remove haloscan, i tried too many websites, their words to do, but most of them make it very complex.
Go to your blogger's Layout Tab, then "Edit HTML"
Please first read the whole Procedure before starting

1. Make a Backup: First, and the most important, download your template first in case you do a mess accidently.
2. Identify Haloscan codes: Using firefox Ctrl+F shortcut find word Haloscan, for ease it'll be better if you highlight them. There are three parts. NOTE: Please Tick "Expand Widget Templates" before doing this step.
   
3. Remove The Code: Now remove the Haloscan Code, try to just delete the real code, let the 'comments'(HTML Comments) remain untouch, like this.Remember Don't delete all parts, let the Part 3 remain as it is.  You can even skip this step, so you can replace the code below
   

4. Add Blogger Code
   
5. In between Haloscan (part 1) add this code:
   
   <a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>1 <data:top.commentLabel/><b:else/><data:post.numComments/> <data:top.commentLabelPlural/><br /> </b:if></a>
   
   
6. In between Haloscan (Part 2)
   
   <h4> <b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'><br /> 1 <data:commentLabel/>:<br /> <b:else/><br /> <data:post.numComments/> <data:commentLabelPlural/>:<br /> </b:if><br /> </h4><br /> <b:if cond='data:post.commentPagingRequired'><br /> <span class='paging-control-container'><br /> <a expr:class='data:post.oldLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.oldestLinkUrl'><data:post.oldestLinkText/></a><br />  <br /> <a expr:class='data:post.oldLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.olderLinkUrl'><data:post.olderLinkText/></a><br />  <br /> <data:post.commentRangeText/><br />  <br /> <a expr:class='data:post.newLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.newerLinkUrl'><data:post.newerLinkText/></a><br />  <br /> <a expr:class='data:post.newLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.newestLinkUrl'><data:post.newestLinkText/></a><br /> </span><br /> </b:if><br /> <br /> <dl id='comments-block'> <b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'> <dt expr:class='"comment-author " + data:comment.authorClass' expr:id='data:comment.anchorName'><br /> <b:if cond='data:comment.favicon'><br /> <img expr:src='data:comment.favicon' height='16px' style='margin-bottom:-2px;' width='16px'/><br /> </b:if><br /> <a expr:name='data:comment.anchorName'/><br /> <b:if cond='data:comment.authorUrl'><br /> <a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'><data:comment.author/></a><br /> <b:else/><br /> <data:comment.author/><br /> </b:if><br /> <data:commentPostedByMsg/><br /> </dt> <dd class='comment-body'> <b:if cond='data:comment.isDeleted'> <span class='deleted-comment'><data:comment.body/></span> <b:else/> <p><data:comment.body/></p> </b:if> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a expr:href='data:comment.url' title='comment permalink'> <data:comment.timestamp/> </a> <b:include data='comment' name='commentDeleteIcon'/> </span> </dd> </b:loop> </dl><br /> <b:if cond='data:post.commentPagingRequired'><br /> <span class='paging-control-container'><br /> <a expr:class='data:post.oldLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.oldestLinkUrl'><br /> <data:post.oldestLinkText/><br /> </a><br /> <a expr:class='data:post.oldLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.olderLinkUrl'><br /> <data:post.olderLinkText/><br /> </a><br />  <br /> <data:post.commentRangeText/><br />  <br /> <a expr:class='data:post.newLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.newerLinkUrl'><br /> <data:post.newerLinkText/><br /> </a><br /> <a expr:class='data:post.newLinkClass' expr:href='data:post.newestLinkUrl'><br /> <data:post.newestLinkText/><br /> </a><br /> </span><br /> </b:if><br /> <br /> <p class='comment-footer'> <b:if cond='data:post.embedCommentForm'><br /> <b:if cond='data:post.allowNewComments'><br /> <b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/><br /> <b:else/><br /> <data:post.noNewCommentsText/><br /> </b:if><br /> <b:else/><br /> <b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'><br /> <a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a><br /> </b:if><br /> </b:if><br /> <br /> </p>
   
   
7. Add your feed link and name it as you like
   

As shown above Replace the highlighted link with you Blog's feed link, if you don't know what it is? Just add http://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default if you're on Blogspot


After this your blog should be free from Haloscan! Cheers!
Things to remember:

• If finding from the Firefox Ctrl+F, The Part 1 comes 1st then will come Part 3rd and last comes Part 2nd, Don't get distracted by the irregular placement.
• The Part 1 is the Code for the Comment link which appear on the homepage or at the end of every post.
• Part 2 is the code for the Main comment system, it appear below every post where Commenter writes comment, choose account and post them.
• Part 3 is for the Comment feed, It's doesn't make any difference but it's the link at the bottom of every page, showing the link to subscribe to your blog's feed.
  

You're Done? or any problem, I'ld like to hear your words, Please comment.

UPDATE: Many of you are sad, since you lost your comments. By the way, exporting comments is possible apparently it has got a very little chance that you'll succeed and it's hard to do. Download the python script from here, it will get all of your comments on the hard drive. Now you have to make scripts that would post comments on your blog. The problem is that while you are exporting your comments (and you have lots & lots of them, more than 100) haloscan CAN and WILL block you identifying you as a bot flooding their servers with many requests. Hence, it is not possible. Also, if you are very very desperate to get comments back, try this.

Dual Boot Windows 7 with vista

If you're dying to try out Windows 7 but aren't ready to give up your installation of XP or Vista, let's take a look at how to dual boot Windows 7 with XP or Vista.

Step 0: Download the Windows 7 Beta and Burn It to a DVD

 

Assuming you've already downloaded a fresh copy of Windows 7, you'll need to burn it to a DVD in order to do a fresh installation. To handle this task, grab a copy of the most popular CD and DVD burning tool ImgBurn, burn the ISO to a DVD, and move right along to step 1.

Step 1: Partition Your Hard Drive

Before you go installing Windows 7, the first thing you need to do is create a new partition on your hard drive to hold the new installation of Windows. Partitioning your hard drive will vary depending on whether you're running XP or Vista—namely because Vista has a partition tool baked in, XP does not.

Partition Your Hard Drive in XP

To partition your hard drive in Windows XP, you'll need to download some sort of third-party partitioning software. There are a lot of options available, but I prefer to stick with the previously mentioned GParted live CD, a free, open source boot CD that can handle all kinds of partitioning duties.
To use it, just download the GParted Live CD, burn it to a CD, then reboot your computer (booting from the disc). You'll boot right into the partitioning tool. HowtoForge's previous guide to modifying partitions with GParted is a great place to start, but it's a fairly basic procedure:

1. Resize your current OS drive to free up enough space for a Windows 7 partition (the minimum system requirements ask for 16GB).
2. Create a new partition from the newly freed space.
3. Apply your changes.

Partition Your Hard Drive in Vista

The folks at Redmond were kind enough to include a disk partitioning tool in Vista if you know where to look. So go to Control Panel -> System and Maintainence (skip this one if you're in Classic view) -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. Once you launch the Computer Management tool, click on Disk Management under the Storage heading in the sidebar. It's partitioning time.

 

Luckily we've already gone down this road before in step-by-step detail, complete with pictures, so check out our previous guide to creating a new partition in Vista. In a nutshell, you'll need to shrink your current OS partition to free up at least 16GB of disk space (per the Windows 7 minimum system requirements), then create a "New Simple Volume" from the free space.

Step 2: Install Windows 7

Now that you've done all the heavy lifting, it's time for the easy part: Installing Windows 7 on your new partition. So insert your Windows 7 disc and reboot your computer (you'll need to have enabled booting from your DVD drive in your system BIOS, but most PCs will have this enabled by default).


Once the DVD boots up it's a simple matter of following along with the fairly simple installation wizard. When you're choosing installation type, be sure to select Custom (advanced) and choose the partition you set up above. (Be careful here. Choosing the wrong partition could mean wiping your other Windows installation altogether, so make sure you pick the new partition you just created.)
After you select the partition, go grab yourself a drink and let the installer do its work. Windows will run through some installation bits, restart a few times in the process. Eventually you'll be prompted to set up your account, enter your license key, and set up Windows. Keep your eyes open for fun new Windows 7 features, like your new homegroup (and the accompanying password). When it's finished, you're up and rolling with your new Windows 7 installation.

 

Congratulations! You should now have a new entry for Windows 7 on your boot screen when you first start up your computer. You've now got all the tools necessary to dual-boot Windows 7 and XP or Vista—or even to triple-boot Windows 7, Vista, and XP.

This isn't the only way to set up a multi-boot system by any means, but it's how I pulled it off. If you've got a method of your own that you prefer, let's hear it in the comments.
