How to get rid of the ICQ Search on your Firefox

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 23:39:24 +0000

When you install the ICQ instant messenger software, it hijacks all your browsers, add toolbars and replace the default Google search engine with the annoying ICQ Search. You will have to uninstall the add-on from your browser, uninstall the ICQ toolbar from you Control Panel – Add / Remove programs, but you will still have ICQ search when you type search terms directly to your address bar.

To restore it to Google Search, just try this:

Open up Firefox. Click on the address bar and type in about:config, then in the search bar type Keyword.url, under preference name double click on Keyword.url and copy and past this into the box

Then click Ok

people talk to me about the old days
they say
they wanna go back
back to the happy days of house
they say
“i wanna go back
[...]
when heels and lipsticks meant something
[...]
it is not a time machine
it is a night club
we can’t go back

they want disco, I want disco

F1 teams and drivers changes from 2009 to 2010

I made this image to make easier for me to understand the changes between teams and drivers from 2009 to 2010.

As you can see, there are 6 places still available, as some teams haven’t decided yet which drivers will be in their cockpit during the next season.

One team is withdrawing (Toyota) and 4 entering (Lotus, Campos, US F1 and Virgin Racing).

Thanks to 3D Export (images) and F1 Fanatics (data).

Feitos a partir de receita encontrada no livro Red Velvet and Chocolate Heartache, estes muffins não levam manteiga nem óleo. As receitas dele contém, invés de gordura, um vegetal, que no caso deste é a abóbora ralada, que substitui muito bem, e nem se percebe graças ao gosto dos outros ingredientes. Em outros casos vemos cenoura, abobrinha, etc.

As nozes que compramos no Brasil, na casca dura, não caem assim da árvore! Eu achava que era assim que ela nascia, num pinheiro, como viamos nos desenhos do Tico e Teco, com a casca seca e dura.

Mas conforme podemos ver nesta foto, a verdade é que elas possuem uma casca externa verde e mais mole, que deve ser removida antes. Com a noz bem madura (quando caem no chão) fica fácil de tirar.

E a árvore é no formato de angiospermas comuns, e não pinheiros.

Windows media errors

Foto de TV de plasma LG 50 polegadas de R$ 2.729,00, na vitrine do shopping Diamond Mall, em Belo Horizonte. Parece bacana, o problema é o programa que resolveram usar para ficar rodando as animações, Windows Media, deu pau, e ficou mostrando por horas a famosa mensagem ‘este programa realizou uma operação ilegal e precisa ser fechado’.

Update: No shopping Patio Savassi, outro computador, em outra loja, usando o mesmo aplicativo e exibindo a mesma mensagem de erro.
