How Can U Kiss her Best

There really is a right and wrong way to kiss a woman. If you screw up when you first kiss a woman, you can pretty much count on that ruining any future relationship. Like Hitch stated, a woman bases the relationship on the first kiss, and if you don’t impress when you kiss her…
Let’s get on with how to kiss a woman:
When you go in to kiss a woman, cup her face in both of your hands so that your palms are gently cradling her jaw line and your thumbs are just in front of cheek bones. You can also place your hands further back with your thumbs just in front of her ears if that’s more comfortable for you. This allows you to contour her face and guide it where you want her to go. This helps to avoid the possibility to kiss her too hard and too fast, which is akin to smacking her in the teeth.
In our rush to get the kiss we move too fast, or are unsure of our distance, timing and pressure and suddenly — BANG! Your loving kiss turns into a less than exciting clash of the molars! Take the time to kiss a woman.
When you kiss a woman, deliberately move her face in toward yours. I want you to look her in the eyes and slowly close your eyes as you gently bring her face to yours before the kiss. I want you to touch her lips to yours as lightly as you can and I want you to sense and pay attention to several things when you kiss a woman.
This takes practice to get good at but once you do… She’s yours! Here’s what you PAY ATTENTION when you kiss a woman:

• How much pressure is she using to kiss you?
• Is she pressing her lips hard against yours, soft?
• What kind of force is she exerting with her lips?

Also, notice the configuration of her lips for the kiss:

• Is she a fish kisser?
• Does she open her mouth very wide
• Does she keep her lips close together?
• Pay attention to what she is doing to you!

Kiss a woman gently and allow yourself to feel how she is kisses you. This is key! Don’t focus on kissing her! Focus on how she is kissing you! (Ladies, the same goes for you) This is a concept learned from “Tai Chi Push Hands” called “listening.” Its the ability to sense and interpret subtle changes in pressure and energy through your sense of touch — in this case via your lips.
Here is where “listening” meets “projection” to create her perfect kiss! Here’s how it works:
She already has an internal checklist of what a kiss is supposed to feel like for her. By paying attention to the way she kisses you then kissing her back exactly the same way, you validate her model how things work, demonstrate you are just like her and you perfectly fire off all the signals that tell her mind body and emotions its okay to go to the next level.
In hypnosis we would call this “pacing and leading.” Now Lets Sweeten the Deal a bit…
Once you have matched her particular style of kissing and you’re effectively doing it back to her the same way, you can start to direct her a bit more.
The act of kissing her the way she kisses you dramatically deepens the sense of “connection” and “rapport” she is going to have with you. Continue to pay attention to her responses. Think in terms of simply wanting to give her pleasure and paying attention to her responses when you kiss.
Once you have matched her kissing style you now have a couple of choices:
You can continue to kiss the way she does…
OR
You can slowly begin to alter your method of kissing and see if she responds by following you. When she follows you by changing her way of kissing you now have more freedom to play.

Here Are Ten Signs You Don’t Know How To Kiss A Woman:

10. She french kissed once, but never again
She slipped her tongue on you, but didn’t ever again. It could be that you’re much too eager with the tongue. Two steps forward, one step back.
9. Makes excuses when you go to kiss her
She says, “I have to get up early” or “I need to floss my cat”. You might need to reevaluate this relationship, you might have ruined it. If she’s not making out with you periodically, then you don’t know how to kiss a woman.
8. She’s tired when you want to kiss her
If she’s constantly yawning when you try and lay the smack down, then you need some improvement when you kiss a woman.
7. She wants to get busy with other parts of your body
This isn’t that bad. But you still don’t know how to kiss a woman, try and improve it, so you can complete the intimacy.
6. She never starts kissing you
If she doesn’t initiate, then you did something wrong. No girl no matter how shy, wont want to make out with her lover.
5. She doesn’t give you compliments
If she doesn’t say something like, “you know how to kiss”, or “I’ve never felt like kissing this much” chances are you don’t know how to kiss a woman. (or if she doesn’t make some noises)
4. She suddenly springs up “Let’s be friends” after the first kiss
You need immediate attention. See Double Your Dating.
3. She pops breath mints
If she’s popping breath mints, it could be a good sign for kissing. She might be self-conscious about her breath, or it might be yours. Always come prepared and pop them when you’re about to kiss a woman.
2. If her lips are the signs of Jolies!
Try chewing on them less, and let her lips heal so she doesn’t get some weird disease through an open wound with you.

Neck Kissing

It’s Sensual

Neck is one of the most sensual areas for kissing a girl. It can either be reached on the way down from her lips or vice-versa. If you desire to make your girl feel aroused the right way, the manner of kissing or rather sucking, licking or biting her neck does matter a lot. The results can be totally amazing if she is particularly sensitive towards being touched romantically in the neck region.

Kissing Her Neck

There can be no set rules regarding how to kiss a girl’s neck. But, dancing floor is definitely an interesting place to begin the activity. Begin with sending out clear signals through clearing up her hair from over her neck, breathing on her neck, drawing her closer and closer, rubbing her back, thighs, ass and other accessible places, and so on. You know it that you are hitting the right chord with her when she starts enjoying your touch by keeping her eyes closed, exposing her neck and tilting towards you. Start by laying down pecks or small kisses on her neck and the area around. With the passage of time, as the passion becomes irresistible, start working your way up to her lips and plant a soft and tender kiss over them.
Neck kissing at first might appear to be just another activity while making out but it serves a great deal when it comes to having a real enjoyable experience. After all, love is an eternal feeling and the expression of it should also convey this emotion in the right spirit.

Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies Ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) are galaxies which are about 100 to 1,000 times brighter in the infrared than a typical galaxy like our own Milky Way. They are the most luminous galaxies known in the local universe, and radiate more than ninety percent of their light in the infrared. Most of these galaxies are found in merging and interacting galaxy systems. It is thought that their brightness results from galactic collisions, which increase the rate of star formation. Infrared emission from galaxies comes primarily from three sources: stars, interstellar gas, and dust. The emission from stars peaks in the near infrared (1-3 microns - a micron is short for a micrometer or 0.000001 meters). Emission from atoms and molecules in interstellar gas makes up only a few percent of the infrared output of galaxies. The primary source of infrared radiation beyond 3 microns is thermal emission from dust grains heated by starlight. The brightest infrared galaxies are usually the ones which have a lot of dust (from star-forming regions for example). Astronomers using the IRAS satellite observed 20,000 galaxies in the infrared. Many of these were starburst galaxies - galaxies which are forming enormous numbers of new stars and are thus extremely bright in the infrared. Further infrared studies of these galaxies may find the cause of this star-forming frenzy. At the left is a 2MASS infrared image of a starburst galaxy. Sometimes galaxies, each containing billions of stars, collide with each other. These collisions trigger star formation in these galaxies by causing the compression of clouds of gas and dust to the point where they collapse due to their own gravity. Due to a high rate of star formation, colliding gas-rich galaxies radiate very strongly in the infrared. The ISO satellite observed several colliding galaxies in the infrared and detected many areas of intense star formation within them. Below are nine examples of ultraluminous infrared galaxies. Several of the images show galaxies in collision.   FSC  15307+3253 FSC15307+3253 is an Ultra-Luminous InfraRed Galaxy (ULIRG), with a luminosity between 8 and 1000 µm of approximately 2×1013 L⊙, possibly the largest known at this time. The "FSC" refers to Faint Source Catalogue, one of the source catalogs produced by the IRAS infrared survey mission. The emission is believed due to some combination of starburst activity and accretion onto a super-massive black hole, producing primary radiation at shorter wavelengths which is mostly blocked by obscuring dust, which is in turn heated and re-radiates in the infrared. The redshift of the source is , indicating a distance of the order of 7 billion light years. IRAS 10214+424 has an intrinsic true luminosity of  2×1013 L⊙ and  an Infrared luminosity of  7×1012 L⊙.

How Active They Are?

The most likely reason that clusters of galaxies have more elliptical

than spiral galaxies is that in the high density cluster environment

$a) spirals merge to form ellipticals.

b) intracluster gas strips galaxies of the gas needed for star

formation.

c) near-misses between galaxies makes them rounder.

d) galaxies are older and their brighter disk stars have burned out.

At high redshift, a larger fraction of galaxies are "active" (show

signs of powerful luminous nuclei) than at low redshift. Therefore, we

can safely say that

a) all galaxies go through an active phase,

and more galaxies in the past were active than now.

$b) some galaxies go through an active phase

and more galaxies in the past were active than now.

c) all galaxies are either active or normal.

d) galaxies may become active more than once in their lifetimes.

At high redshift, a larger fraction of galaxies are "active" (show

signs of powerful luminous nuclei) than at low redshift. If galaxies

only become active when they collide or interact with nearby galaxies,

then it might be true that

a) there were more interactions in the past, and activity fades away.

b) the number of distinct galaxies in the Universe decreases with time.

c) galaxies were closer together in the past.

$d) all of the above.

The large doppler velocity widths of broad emission lines in active

galaxies (Seyferts and quasars) could NOT be created by hot

emitting clouds that are

a) swirling at high velocities around a black hole.

b) falling into the neighborhood of a black hole.

c) being ejected into a broad cone or disk-shaped wind.

$d) being ejected along a narrow-angled jet.

Narrow absorption lines in the spectra of distant quasars

could be caused by clouds of gas on the

a) near side of the quasar with large random velocities but small

bulk velocities.

$b) near side of the quasar with small random velocities but large bulk

velocities.

c) far side of the quasar with large random velocities but small

bulk velocities.

d) far side of the quasar with small random velocities but large

bulk velocities.

Seyferts and quasars are both types of active galaxies,

harboring powerful luminous nuclei. Quasar nuclei appear to be more

luminous, and therefore their black holes

a) are accreting matter at a higher rate.

b) are more massive.

c) are less obscured along our sightline.

$d) any of the above.

The word "quasar" comes from "quasi-stellar". What makes quasars

quasi-stellar is that they can have a

a) proper motion seen between images taken at 2 epochs.

b) Doppler velocity shift evident in their spectra.

$c) point-like appearance in an image.

d) binary companion.

The brightest Quasars can have luminosities of up to ~10¹⁵ L_sun.

The wide variety of spectra observed from different active nuclei of

galaxies appear may result from

a) how many neutron stars they contain.

b) the amount of dust in our Galaxy blocking the view.

$c) the angle at which we view each nucleus.

e) whether or not the galaxy has a close companion.

One method you could use to search for a high-mass black hole at the

center of a galaxy is to look for

a) a black dot at the galaxy's nucleus.

b) a very high luminosity star.

$c) a very large range of Doppler shifts around the nucleus.

d) distortion in the shapes of stars near the nucleus.

Rapid variability in the luminous nuclei of quasars is evidence that

the emission region must be

$a) small.

b) large.

c) moving rapidly.

d) exploding.

The powerful nuclei of quasars and Seyfert galaxies cannot be

dominated by starlight because nuclear fusion in a group of stars

could not account for the quasar's observed

a) rapid variability.

b) luminosity.

c) compact size.

$d) all of the above

The distance to the point-like quasars is found from

a) comparing their apparent and absolute magnitude.

b) the apparent magnitudes of their supernovae.

c) their parallax measured with radio telescopes.

$d) their redshift and the Hubble law.

If the large redshifts of quasars were NOT caused by the cosmological

expansion, then bright quasars could possibly be explained as

a) distant objects that are very luminous.

$b) nearby luminous objects exploding outward from the Milky Way.

c) bright nearby objects severely reddened by intervening dust.

d) distant objects severely reddened by intervening dust.

Quasars are more likely powered by accretion onto a supermassive

black hole than by stars because accretion is

a) the only natural way to produce radio and x-ray emission.

$b) a much more efficient means than fusion of extracting energy

from matter.

c) possible in the early universe before stars even formed.

   d) responsible for destroying and engulfing stars.

Seyfert Galaxies

  Seyfert galaxies have been among the most intensively studied objects in astronomy, primarily because they are thought to be nearby, low-luminosity versions of the same phenomenon observed in quasars. A massive black hole in the nucleus of a galaxy, accreting gas from its surrounding environment, is thought to power all these objects. Of course, we do not see the black hole itself, but the UV continuum radiation is generally presumed to be thermal emission from the hot gas that forms an accretion disk surrounding the black hole. In addition, very broad emission lines are observed, which are thought to come from clouds somewhat farther away, moving at velocities of order . These broad-line clouds are photoionized and heated by the extreme-UV radiation from the central source, resulting in the strong, broad resonance line emission observed from hydrogen Lyman-, CIV (1550 Å), and other elements. The permitted lines also sometimes show narrower cores, and there are also narrow forbidden lines, which are thought to arise from more distant, lower density, photoionized gas in a narrow-line region.
The broad-line component dominates the spectra of quasars and type 1 Seyfert galaxies, while the narrow-line component dominates in type 2 Seyferts. It is widely believed that the objects may be basically similar, but that obscuration of the central region as viewed from certain directions may hide the continuum and broad-line regions in type 2 Seyfert galaxies, leaving a clear view of only the narrow-line region. The luminosity of Seyferts is typically , where is the luminosity of the Sun, making the tiny nuclear region as luminous as an entire galaxy of stars, and the inferred mass of the central black hole is to , where is the mass of the Sun. The luminosity is proportional to the mass-accretion rate, which is 1 yr. Small values of these parameters are associated with low-luminosity Seyferts, and large values are thought to characterize the much rarer, high-luminosity quasars.
The far-UV spectral region is of fundamental importance in determining the nature of all these active galactic nuclei. The UV continuum radiation may arise in an accretion disk very close to the black hole, while UV emission and absorption lines provide the best diagnostics of the surrounding material in the broad- and narrow-line regions. Consequently, observations of Seyfert galaxies and quasars were a goal of one of the major observational programs for HUT on Astro-1.
One of the brightest and best-studied Seyfert galaxies is NGC 4151. It has been classified as type 1.5, showing the characteristic features of both types 1 and 2 (Osterbrock & Koski 1976). We obtained a high quality spectrum of NGC 4151 in a 2200 s observation with HUT (Figure 3). Below 1200 Å, a region in which no Seyfert galaxy has previously been observed, we find strong emission in the OVI doublet and a very complex absorption-line spectrum. The Lyman- line and the OVI line are both found to have broad wings with full width at half maximum , identical to the CIV feature, but overlying absorption by numerous lines tends to obscure this fact. Kriss et al. found that the broad lines have relative intensities similar to those seen in quasars (where the large redshift of quasar radiation makes this spectral region accessible to other telescopes) and to theoretical photoionization calculations. All of the permitted lines also have similar cores, with .

 

The strongest absorption lines include the Lyman series of hydrogen, as well as features due to CIII and NIII and higher ionization states, up to NV and OVI. All of the absorption lines are blueshifted, with respect to the galaxy rest frame, by several hundred km s, and they appear to have intrinsic widths of about . The UV continuum disappears completely below 924 Å, owing to strong absorption by overlapping Lyman lines. The ratio of the strengths of the CIII 977 Å line and the 1176 Å line (which arises in an excited state) indicates densities in the absorbing gas greater than . Such high densities are characteristic of the gas in the clouds that yield broad emission lines. Kriss et al. (1993) conclude that the absorption may arise in the disintegrating remnants of outflowing, radiatively accelerated, broad-line clouds. Furthermore, this same material may be responsible for producing the narrow cores of the permitted emission lines. Finally, this material may collimate the ionizing radiation from the central source, explaining the bipolar cone-like appearance of the narrow emission-line region (Kriss et al. 1993). The absorption lines seen by HUT in the far-UV thus provide an important new means for studying conditions in active galactic nuclei.

Neutron Stars Ring to create GRBs

Short-lived gamma-ray bursts are thought to originate from a neutron star merging with another neutron star or with a black hole. Immense tidal forces will be produced during this merger, and—according to a new model proposed in Physical Review Letters—these forces may excite a resonant vibration in one of the neutron stars, causing its crust to shatter. The authors show that this sudden shattering could explain some pre-burst flares that have recently been observed.
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) come in two varieties: long and short. The long ones have been connected to certain supernovae, while the short ones appear to arise from binary mergers. While it’s been known for decades that some long GRBs are preceded by weaker gamma-ray flashes, it was only last year that astronomers detected a similar “precursor” emission arriving a few seconds before three short GRBs.
For short GRBs, one possible cause of these pre-burst flares is that the crust of one neutron star cracks open, releasing tremendous energy. Previous models considered tidal distortions, but this warping takes too long to form cracks, according to David Tsang of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, and his colleagues. They looked instead at vibrations that these tidal forces should stimulate as the merging heavyweights spiral in toward each other. Their calculations showed that the resonant excitation of a particular crust-core vibration could generate cracks capable of shattering the crust in a way consistent with the timing and energy release in the precursor data. They suggest that further observations could begin to probe the conditions inside of neutron stars.

A quick recap of neutron stars

Neutron stars are awesomely dense stellar objects. A star's structure is created through a balance between gravitational collapse and the radiation pressure created by burning nuclear fuel. At some point, the star runs out of fuel and collapses even further. This, if the star is large enough, is followed by a giant explosion. At the end of all the noise and fury, there is a very dense ball of neutrons, surrounded by detritus from the explosion, sitting in space, weakly radiating. These are neutron stars.
If the radiation is so weak, why doesn't the star collapse further? In this case, quantum mechanics takes a hand. Every particle is associated with a wave, and when particles are close enough that their waves overlap, then their combined waves dictate "where" each particles is and how much energy it has. This generates a force, called Fermi repulsion, that stabilizes the star against further collapse.
Nevertheless, these are very, very dense objects. Think of the mass of the sun or more, compacted into a sphere that has a diameter smaller than length of Manhattan. Above the neutrons on the outside of the star is a tasty layered crust, consisting of iron ions (all the electrons have been stripped away). Below that are heavy, neutron-rich elements that are also ionized, all arranged as the perfect crystal. Put together, this makes for one very strong material.

Do not collide neutron stars at home

When a neutron star enters a death spiral, the inevitable collision is a long time coming and, to make it all the more like a bad novel, all the action happens in the last few seconds. At this point, the neutron stars are orbiting each other faster than they are actually spinning on their own axis. Gravitational forces are distorting their shapes and heating the star interiors. In short, there is a lot of energy around, and nature is not afraid to use it.
Despite all that energy, at this stage of the death spiral, we still wouldn't see anything. In fact, it will take a sensitive gravitational wave observatory to see the build up to a neutron star collision. Even so, researchers had thought that the forces involved would be sufficient to rip the crust off a neutron star, resulting in a short burst of gamma rays. Unfortunately, when the calculations were done, it was found that the force only became sufficient at about the same time that the stars actually collided. In other words, it couldn't really explain these short gamma ray bursts.
In the latest bit of work, a group of researchers have looked at the various mechanical resonances between the crust and core of the neutron star. These resonances get excited by the tidal forces generated over the course of an orbit. The key point about resonances is that you have to excite them with a force that has a similar time period to that of the mechanical motion. Furthermore, the force has to be generated along the same axis as the mechanical motion. Finally, all this force has to be sufficient to get the crust moving.
Most of the mechanical modes do not meet all of these criteria. For instance, modes with high frequencies were excluded because they would only be excited at about the same time as the neutron stars collided. In the end, the researchers settled on a mode that corresponded to a mechanical vibration at the interface between the crust and the core. They calculated, that, depending on various factors, it had a frequency of 100-200Hz, and is optimally excited about two seconds before the neutron stars collide.
Further calculations showed that the build up of vibrational motion in the interface leads to cracks that would go right through the crust. However, the crust repairs itself as fast as it breaks. So what we have is a seismic wave traveling around the neutron star, breaking open the crust as it goes, getting larger and larger with time, and always finding new crust to break. At some point, the cracking process becomes too vigorous, and the entire crust shatters.
As it shatters, the neutron star rings like a bell, causing its surrounding magnetic field to ring in sympathy, generating a pulse of light. This pulse of light is what we observe just before the collision generates the main gamma ray burst.
To give you an idea of the time and energy scale involved in this: the neutron star enters resonance for the mechanical mode two seconds before it will collide. The crust explodes from the neutron star two milliseconds later. And, power emitted during the explosion is on the order of 10⁴¹W.

BesTop PC Maintenance Softwares

1. Registry Mechanic [cleans / fixes registry errors]. Why do you need it?: The system registry is one of the core components of Windows; if not maintained, the registry becomes bloated with useless information (usually a result of installing / uninstalling software) and performance degradation, strange error messages, and spontaneous system crashes ensue. Registry Mechanic streamlines the registry, thereby reclaiming lost performance and stability. [Click here to read my review on Registry Mechanic]. Other registry cleaners include Regseeker and CM Disccleaner. These two are perhaps even more powerful than any other registry optimizers available for windows.

2. Spyware Doctor [an anti-Spyware program]. Why do you need it?: Spyware is by far one of the biggest 'nasties' to avoid when surfing the Internet -- yet we all seem to get hit with it one way or another, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. Spyware Doctor provides three-way Spyware protection for your PC through real-time threat blocking, advanced system scanning, and immunization against known browser infections. Spyware Doctor also recently received PC Magazine's Editor's Choice Award. [Click here to download Spyware Doctor].

3. Magic Defrag [optimizes the hard drive]. Why do you need it?: A badly fragmented hard drive can have a major performance drawback; this is especially true if you've never defragged your drive before (but that also depends on how much you use your PC). In short: Magic Defrag keeps your hard drive optimized so that accessing your files is as efficient as possible. [Click here to read my review on Magic Defrag].

4. Ashampoo CD Burning Suite [a CD/DVD burning program]. Why do you need it?: At some point you'll want to offload files from the hard drive for the purpose of archiving (to save hard drive space), to share files with friends, or for portability. Surprisingly, Microsoft has not yet implemented a built-in CD burning program for Windows that does more than just burn music CDs. Comparatively: Roxio Easy CD Creator (ECD) and Nero Burning ROM are the most popular third-party CD burning applications, but both cost in the neighborhood of $79.00 (at the time of this writing) and can be a nightmare to use if you've never burned a CD before. On the other hand, Ashampoo Burning Suite has many of the standard features found in ECD and Nero, yet costs a mere fraction (available through our site for $19.95). Best of all, CD Burning Suite is extremely easy to use. [Click here to read my review on Ashampoo CD Burning Suite].

5. griSoft-AVG [a freeware antivirus program]. Why do you need it?: GriSoft (and similar freeware antivirus programs) help to protect a PC from becoming infected with malicious software. The definition of "virus" is broad nowadays and can often infer a Trojans, an Internet Worm, and even Spyware. [Click here to read a past article highlighting two freeware anti-virus programs, including griSoft-AVG].

6. Zone Alarm [a freeware firewall program]. Why do you need it?: ZoneAlarm helps to block intruders from gaining control of your PC. ZoneAlarm can alert you whenever a suspect program is attempting to communicate with the outside world and is therefore immensely helpful in the prevention of a Spyware or Internet worm attacks. With that in mind, it is also important to note that most firewalls (ZoneAlarm included) do not thwart Operating System Exploits (in which case, an intruder may gain control even with ZoneAlarm installed). Refer to my closing statements for more information on exploits. [Click here to download ZoneAlarm].

7. WinOptimizer Platinum [an all purpose anti-clutter / privacy program]. Why do you need it?: WinOptimizer Platinum saves hard drive space by removing redundant and temporary files, maintains a level of privacy, and allows you to tweak the Startup process (thereby improving your bootup time). [Click here to read my review on WinOptimizer Platinum].

8. Ashampoo Uninstaller Suite [a program uninstaller]. Why do you need it?: Not all software programs are installed in the same manner. For example, some software authors are very sloppy when coding the install procedure and do not include the proper uninstall information; later, the software may not uninstall properly and (more often than not) leaves leftover "gunk" in the registry, clogging up the system. Uninstaller Suite logs all software installations and is able to reverse all changes made to the system, including the registry. [Click here to read my review on Uninstaller Suite].

9. Acronis True Image [a backup program for your Operating System]. Why do you need it?: Acronis True Image goes beyond simple backup programs by archiving each and every byte of your hard drive (and not just the files). If your hard drive goes corrupt or your PC is hit with a virus or Spyware infection, a disk image restoration using True Image is the only sure-fire way to get back into your system with the least amount of down-time (not including a catastrophic hardware failure, of course). [Click here to read my review on True Image].

10. Mailwasher Pro [an anti-spam program]. Why do you need it?: Mailwasher Pro combines heuristics, user-defined filters, and live DNS Providers Blacklist databases [DNSBL] to block spam from reaching your Inbox. Heuristics are used to "guess" which mail is spam, and over time, become more accurate at correctly identifying spam; filters are used to sort potential spam based on user-defined rules; and DNSBL protection immediately flags spam mail if it comes from a known spam origin. All this put together provides exceedingly sufficient spam control. Speaking from personal experience: I'd *really* dread reading my emails if I didn't have Mailwasher (it's that good).

Increase Broadband Connection Speed in Windows XP

This tip is designed for increased BROADBAND speed in Windows XP while using standard Network Interface cards (NIC) that are connected to ADSL modems, or when using any directly-connected USB ADSL modem.

It's Not Your Internet, It's Your Computer... There's more to your browsing speed than just your phone or cable connection. A poorly running PC can dramatically slow down even the quickest network connection.

PC Speed Maximizer scans your computer and adjusts key system settings for optimal performance; freeing up your computers resources for speedier browsing.

To speed up the Internet connection speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the NIC or the USB modem.
This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.

Step #1 - Identify the IRQ used by the NIC/USB modem

Follow these steps:

1. Open the System Information tool by running MSINFO32.EXE from the Run command.
   
2. Expand System Summary > Hardware Resources > IRQs.
   
3. Look for the listing made for your NIC (in my case - a Intel(R) PRO/100+ Management Adapter). Note the IRQ next to the specified line (in my case - IRQ21).
   

In case of USB modems you will first need to find the right USB device used by your modem. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Device Manager tool by running DEVMGMT.MSC from the Run command (or by right-clicking My Computer > Hardware tab > Device Manager button).
   
2. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and expand it.
   
3. Right-click the USB Root Hub and select Properties. Note that you might need to do so for all listed USB Root hubs (if there are more than one) in order to find the right one.
   

4. In the Power tab, look for your USB ADSL modem.
   
5. In the Resources tab look for the assigned IRQ (in this case - IRQ21).

6. This is the IRQ we're looking for.
   

Lamer note: IRQs and modem names might vary...

Step #2 - Modify the system.ini file

Follow these steps:

1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
   
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
   
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
   
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
   

IrqX=4096
where X is the designated IRQ number we found in step #1, in my case it's IRQ21.

Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!

5. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
   
6. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
   

Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.
QoS Packet Scheduler is a method of network bandwidth management that can monitor the importance of data packets and depending upon the priority of the packet, give it higher or lower priority or bandwidth levels. It's not very useful unless you're using apps which are QoS-aware or running a server, so you can gain some network overhead back by turning it off.
Note: This following tip will not work on XP Home Edition.

1. Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2. Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).
3. Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.
4. Expand the Administrative Templates branch.
5. Expand the Network branch.
6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.
7. In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.
8. On setting tab check the ENABLED item.
9. Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).
10. Close gpedit.msc.

Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot.
