Google Browser Sync

Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings - including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords - across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.
Please note: Google Browser Sync must update your browser settings whenever you start Firefox. This will increase the start-up time of Firefox (the time between clicking on the Firefox icon and loading your start page) - please bear with us as we work to decrease this delay.

How to Use
To use Google Browser Sync, simply install and configure the extension on all computers for which you'd like your browser settings automatically kept in sync. Even if you only install Browser Sync on a single computer, you can use it to backup your browser settings and to restore your open tabs and windows across browser sessions.

Configuring your computers
After successfully downloading and installing the extension, then restarting your browser, you'll see a setup wizard. (Please note that you'll need a Google Account to complete the setup process; if you don't already have a Google Account, you can create one now.) The setup wizard will take you through a series of quick and easy steps. You'll need to choose which browser components you'd like to keep synchronized with your other computers (the standard install includes all possible components), and choose a PIN to protect your sensitive information.
Configuring your second computer is even easier. You only need to install the extension, log in with your Google Account username and password, and provide your PIN.

Day-to-day use
Google Browser Sync is completely automated. The settings you select at startup are automatically synchronized across each of the computers on which you install Browser Sync. You won't even need to log in every time you start the browser. You can change which browser components are being synced - or even stop the syncing process entirely - using the settings panel in the upper-right corner of the page. The settings panel also gives you access to your PIN. How to Uninstall In the Firefox browser, click "Tools" and select "Extensions". The Extensions window should appear. Click "Google Browser Sync", then click the "Uninstall" button. Click the "OK" button in the confirmation window. The Extensions window should confirm that Google Browser Sync has been uninstalled. Close the Extensions window, then close all Firefox windows and restart the browser.

JSP Performance Tips

Here are a few tips to improve JSP performance that I have been using. If you have your own listing of the tips, plz share. Disable JSP auto reloading feature. Use thread pool for your JSP engine and define the size of thread pool as per application requirement. Use jspInit() method to cache static data Initialize the 'out' object (implicit object) with proper size in the page directive. Set the content length Give 'false' value to the session in the page directive to avoid session object creation. Flush the data partly Use StringBuffer rather than using + operator when you concatenate multiple strings Use include directive instead of include action when you want to include the child page content in the translation phase. Avoid giving unnecessary scope in the 'useBean' action. Use print() method rather than println() method Use ServletOutputStream instead of JSPWriter to send binary data Minimize code in the synchronized block Do not use custom tags if you do no...

How old are the daughters?

Two MIT math graduates bump into each other at Fairway on the upper west side. They hadn't seen each other in over 20 years. The first grad says to the second: "how have you been?" Second: "Great! I got married and I have three daughters now" First: "Really? how old are they?" Second: "Well, the product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the same as the number on that building over there.." First: "Right, ok.. oh wait.. hmmmm.., I still don't know" second: "Oh sorry, the oldest one just started to play the piano" First: "Wonderful! my oldest is the same age!"
