Firefox Tweak Guide

Microsoft has reigned the browser market for a long time, ever since it took the original Netscape browser out of the picture; there has been no competitor able to keep up with Internet Explorer. Unfortunately for end users however, the software giant has been sitting duck for about half of its lifetime, adding almost no new features since IE 6 was introduced in 2001, and until very recently, barely keeping up with security holes found in its browser.

Just as Linux is to Windows, Mozilla’s open-source Firefox is to Internet Explorer. The fact is, although IE is still the top used browser, Firefox is by far the best out there (Opera is fantastic, too, just not completely free).

Just to name a few reasons why Firefox is better than IE… free download, small (4.7mb), built-in tabbed browsing, better web standards support, cross-platform, better security, highly customizable, open-source community = extensions for everyone.

How Much Vitamin C Do You Need

Vitamin C has become popular because of its role as an antioxidant, which potentially offers protection from some diseases and degenerative aspects of aging. But there can be too much of a good thing. Taking too much vitamin C can cause side effects such as nausea and diarrhea.

How much is enough may be a difficult question to answer. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences is revising its current recommendations for vitamin C intake. In the April 21, 1999, issue of JAMA, experts at the National Institutes of Health suggest that the current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin C should be increased from 60 mg to 100-200 mg daily. They emphasize that whenever possible, the vitamin C should come from fruits and vegetables, and that people can get the recommended amount by eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

A Guide to Florida-Friendly Landscaping

Florida Neighborhoods: Connecting Our Yards to Florida’s Water

Our yards and neighborhoods are channels to our waterways. Your yard is the fi rst line of defense for preserving Florida’s fragile environment. The health of Florida’s estuaries, rivers, lakes, springs and aquifers depends partly on how you landscape and maintain your yard. You don’t even have to live on the water to make a big difference. Rain that falls on yards, roads and parking lots can wash into waterways or leach into ground water, carrying pollutants — including fertilizers, pesticides, animal waste, soil and petroleum products. Improperly applied fertilizers and pesticides from residential areas pose a serious threat to the health of Florida’s waters.

Creating Your Florida-Friendly Yard
A Florida-Friendly Yard doesn’t merely offer good-looking landscapes; it also becomes an asset to the environment, protecting natural resources and preserving the state’s unique beauty. Recognizing that the home landscape is part of a larger natural system will help in creating a Florida-Friendly Yard. Designing an aesthetically pleasing Florida-Friendly Yard begins with good decisions based on what you and your landscape require:

Xen Enterprise Grade Open Source Virtualization

What Virtualization Enables

OS virtualization is achieved by inserting a layer of software between the OS and the underlying server hardware. This layer is responsible for allowing multiple OS images (and their running applications) to share the resources of a single server. Each OS believes that it has the resources of the entire machine under its control, but beneath its feet, the virtualization layer, or hypervisor, transparently ensures that resources are properly shared between different OS images and their applications.

What the Xen hypervisor is:

  • The industry’s fastest and most secure hypervisor.
  • Open source software, collaboratively developed by over 20 of the world’s leading enterprise infrastructure vendors, yet backed by an enterprise quality and service focused vendor, Citrix, which ensures the quality and reliability enterprises demand from their virtualization vendor.
  • A common, open industry standard code base that supports all operating systems with high performance and security.
