Speed Up Browsing in Windows XP

When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth. Some of this information deals with resolving the site name to an IP address, the stuff that TCP/IP really deals with, not words. This is DNS information and is used so that you will not need to ask for the site location each and every time you visit the site. Although Windows XP and Windows XP have a pretty efficient DNS cache, you can increase its overall performance by increasing its size. You can do this with the registry entries below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d

Make a new text file and rename it to dnscache.reg. Then copy and paste the above into it and save it. Merge it into the registry.

Go Bulls

Rookie Ben Gordon and the Chicago Bulls have come a long way in a month.


Gordon continued his scoring surge with a season-high 31 points as the Bulls rolled to their fifth straight win, a 110-78 trouncing of the Philadelphia 76ers.


On December 10, the Bulls suffered a 93-88 home loss to the 76ers to drop to 3-14. In that game, Gordon scored just four points on 1-of-5 shooting.

The following night, Gordon scored 31 points in a victory over Minnesota, sparking Chicago (15-18) on a run that has seen them win 12 of 16 games and climb into playoff contention in the Eastern Conference.

Rockstar Classics - Free Downloads GTA 2

Respect is everything.

In 1999, Rockstar Games and Rockstar North (then known as DMA Design) furthered the groundbreaking gameplay concepts established just two years prior in the original Grand Theft Auto - with the release of GTA2. GTA2 expanded on the top-down, open-ended crime world gameplay formula with a host of new features including the advent of multiple rival gangs – seven, to be exact, including the Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, the Russian Mob and Hare Krishnas. Earn your respect with each gang. Reap the benefits with all manner of shady work-for-hire gigs contracted your way. And climb your way to the top of the criminal pile.

Now, longtime Grand Theft Auto fans can revisit this classic entry in the series - and new jacks who missed out on this early franchise title can further discover Grand Theft Auto’s roots - absolutely free. GTA2 has been completely optimized for play on modern PCs and is available gratis for all registrants to the Rockstar Games mailing list (rest assured your information will not be shared with any third parties, you will only receive information from Rockstar). Simply fill out the form below and check your email for a direct link to the file (353 MB .zip file, includes install .exe, readme .txt file, and a .pdf of the original PC game manual).

Finally Over

Bears' season ends with a thud against Packers

Even with longtime nemesis Brett Favre spending more time as a spectator than a participant, the Bears' disappointing 2004 season still ended with a resounding thud Sunday.

The Packers didn't play like a team that had nothing at stake in terms of playoff position, scoring 28 unanswered points in a 31-14 rout of the Bears on an unseasonably mild day at Soldier Field. Maybe next year :)

Happy New Year

Comet comes to wish us a Happy New Year


Comet C/2004 Q2Go out in the open tonight after your dinner and look to the south east of the dark sky. See whether you can spot a celestial body with blue gas tail and the edge of an orange-yellowish dust tail emerging at very different angles from the coma. That’s comet Machholz. The comet also code named as C/2004 Q2 is the 10th comet discovered by Don Machholz of Colfax, California, on August 27th.

The comet will be closest to earth on Sunday and Monday, when it will be 32 million miles away. This is close in astronomical terms. It will be visible to Northern Hemisphere viewers.

If you want to enjoy the view then go away from the city light, dust and pollution - to a rural area if possible. Then look to the south east of the sky. Carry a star map with yourself if you are not familiar with constellations. Try locating the constellation Orion – the hunter with three stars in the middle representing a belt. Then look above Orion and you shall see the V-shaped constellation of Taurus. Machholz should be there in early January. Early Jan is the best time to see this comet. The comet will look like a hazy glowing ball with shade of aquamarine green. If you use a binocular or a telescope then you may be able to see the tail of this comet.

The 52 yr old astronomer Donald Machholz has spent 30 years of his life combing night sky for comets. He has so far discovered 10 comets. Machholz was discovered by him using a six-inch telescope he paid $200 for in 1968.

"It's been 120,000 years since this comet has been near Earth," Machholz said. "And it will be 12,000 years before it shows up again." So don’t miss it.
