Higher resolutions or not, YouTube still tweaks the quality of its videos for users depending on what kind of connection they've got. So how about a workaround to make sure you're getting the best of the best? Bayme of the VideoHelp.com forums seems to have found a way to tweak the URL of some videos to force YouTube to serve you the version with the highest resolution. The good news? It's easy as pie. The bad news? It's not going to work on all your videos, and it's not noticeably better To give it a spin, just drop &fmt=6 at the end of the URL of any video you're watching. If YouTube has a higher quality version available on its servers, it'll start playing right away. Otherwise, you'll simply be staring at a loading symbol.

Older ATI drivers and cards had the options for Direct3D and Open GL, today the new Catalyst Control center merges both into one category called 3D. So it here is here you want to adjust your 3D settings.Expand the 3D settings section and select the "Anti-Aliasing" sub-category on the ATI or if you have an Nvidia, go into the "Manage 3D settings" option (Make sure you are in Advanced View check under the View menu).Sample ATI Screen.Sample Nvidia ScreenNext find the following options which fall under the 3D settings categories and adjust as follows:- Anti-AliasingFor an ATI card check off the box 'Use application settings' box, so that the level of Antialiasing can be set within particular games for example and won't conflict with your Control Center settings.For an Nvidia card select the
For ATI, there is a Catalyst A.I option which determines the level of 'optimizations' the drivers enable in graphics applications such as games. Ensure the disabled option is not checked off and that the slider is set to "Advanced" mode.- Mipmap Detail LevelFor an ATI card set the slider at the midpoint closer to the performance option, then later adjust the mipmap/texture filtering/texture quality levels in your game video settings to minimize graphical anomalies.For an Nvidia card the available options are None, Bilinear and Trilinear. Select Bilinear for a slight improvement at minimal performance cost, or set it to None.- Vertical RefreshFor an ATI card Select "Off, Unless Application Specifies" - Vertical Sync will be off by default, however you can enable it for a specific game fo

Everyone knows that Windows Vista is a resource hog. It runs too many useless services and programs in the background. You can tweak most of the Vista's settings to make it more responsive and less memory hungry. Unfortunately Windows Vista doesn't comes up with any powerful too to tweak it to your heart's content. However EnhanceMyVista Free is a freeware using which you can tweak most of the settings of Windows Vista to make it faster. It provides many useful functions such as Registry Optimizer, and Registry Defragmenter. If you want more power, I recommend the Pro (2008) version. The pro version features many functions not available in free version. EnhanceMyVista Pro (2008) is quite easy to use and provides advanced enhancing, optimizing and tweaking tool for Windows Vista. It has a

Every blog has categorization function which helps you sort your blog post for readers who only wanted to read some type of your posts instead of everything you have written.
With Year 2008 coming up, one of the main thing that you should do will be cleaning up your blog posts categorization. This process can be as simple as doing nothing if you have always been systematic. However, if you are the kind who sometimes rush a post and have put the posts under the wrong section, the cleaning up is proved vital.
Reasons for Categories Cleaning
Breaking up big categories
Resorting of your articles
Balancing the number of posts in categories
I am sure many out there do clean up their categories with reasons more than the above. Do you clean up your categories and why do you clean it? Share it with me.

(This is a sub-post from Tutorial 11: Starting Your Own Blogger Template)This is the crucial part of designing - setting how your blog looks like. By this time the widths of all the containers inside the CSS code should have been set. What you need to know about tweaking the CSS code is that it's a recursive process - it's a process of refining that always repeats back and forth until you're 'happy' with the end result.There are so many things to tweak and so many containers to customize. So how do you this and where do you start? The easiest approach is to start from the top. Assuming that you're starting from an existing template, at this point you don't have to worry much about customizing the body, outer-wrapper, and content-wrapper. You can tweak these containers later. If you want to use an image as a background image of the whole template, you can also do this later.Read Tutorial 3: The Structure of CSS Styling Section first if you're not familiar with the basics of the
ATTORNEY FOR PARENT WHO FOUGHT SYSTEM URGES CURRENT SYSTEM BE SCRAPPED IMMEDIATELY LOUISVILLE --As the Louisville school system begins to adjust to a U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down its student assignment program, the new superintendent said yesterday that its system might need only to be tweaked, not overhauled.Sheldon Berman, who took over the nation's 26th-largest school system on Monday, said that, even though the high court struck down the use of race in placing students, an opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy could leave Jefferson County Public Schools in good shape."It gives us a lot of flexibility to stay with the current plan with some modifications," Berman said of Kennedy's opinion.Last week, Kennedy went along with the court's four most conservative members in rejecting the Louisville and Seattle student assignment plans, but also said race could sometimes be a component of school efforts to achieve diversity. Kennedy wrote that he disagreed with an interpretati
This week MTV Networks became the first national network group to partner on an ongoing basis with Visible World, the direct-response company that empowers advertisers to update their campaigns in real time.
