Ah, spring... when a young penguin's fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of... Beta testing!  Yes, spring has sprung, and so has the Beta release
of Fedora 9!

The Beta release is the point at which we really want and need the wider
community's help with testing.  Beta is a point of much greater
stability in Fedora's development branch, but some fixes continue to
occur to improve usability, performance, and stability.  This release is
great for early adopters and Linux enthusiasts!  The Fedora 9 Beta boots
on the majority of systems, and gives you an idea of how the final
Fedora 9 will look and feel.  Most importantly, we absolutely need
community assistance to check features and provide feedback and bug
reports, to help ensure that Fedora 9 is our best release ever.

Some highlights of Fedora 9 Beta:

* GNOME 2.22, with new features like a helpful world time clock, better
file system performance, security improvements, power management at the
login screen, the ability to dynamically configure displays, better
Bluetooth integration, improved podcast support, and many other
enhancements
* KDE 4.0.2, which includes a brand new desktop and panel with many new
concepts, integrated desktop search, a brand new visual style called
Oxygen, a new multimedia API called Phonon, and a new hardware
integration framework called Solid -- all integrated by Fedora's KDE SIG
* Firefox 3 Beta 5, featuring a native look and feel, desktop
integration, the new Places that replaces bookmarks, and a reworked
address bar
* Support for resizing ext2, ext3 and NTFS partitions during install
* Support for creating and installing to encrypted filesystems
* PackageKit, a cross-distribution package management solution with a
complete yum backend, designed to unify different distributions'
software management with the latest technologies
* Kernel 2.6.25-rc5

And numerous other improvements and enhancements.

Access Pay sites without payment or authentication

Guys, This is to Access pay/registration required sites for free I do not know if this will work with every site on the internet plex. but it worked on many sites for me. All what you need to do, is to make your web browser distinguish itself as Google Bot All of us have seen Google returns search results that lead to sites that require a registeration ?, How googlebot index the site without a registration ? Many sites want their site indexed in google to recieve more hits and thus, make more money with advertisment on their site. Even more interesting is the following question: How do we use this to our advantage ? It is Simple , we need to disguise ourselfs as the googlebot, many sites will let you in without authentication/registration. The parameter we have to change is called the User Agent. The user agent defines the browser and version that you use. For example it would show Internet Explorer as your browser if you are using this one. You need to alter your Browser settings to t...
