Make Your Linux Boot Faster
Steps that can make your Linux system boot faster.
Step 1 :
Decide on the unnecessary services and stop them. Try to stop them using the following commands :
chkconfig ip6tables off
chkconfig setroubleshoot off
chkconfig vmware off
chkconfig bluetooth off
chkconfig sendmail off
chkconfig yum-updatesd off
Step 2 :
If the loop-back device is not needed, stop it to save 1 second . Add
ONBOOT=no in its ifcfg file.
Step 3 :
* Kill all splash screens,
* Grub splash (the line that has 'splash image' should be commented in grub.conf),
* Boot splash (edit/ etc/ sysconfig/ init and say No color there) and
* KDE splash (goto the control center and stop it ).
Normally kernel has lots of unnecessary modules that get loaded when the machine starts. Even if you use only the Ethernet, but still the kernel loads the wireless, Blue tooth and router related modules. Disable them or recompile the kernel.
This should save you more than 30 seconds each time u boot your machine. You can tweak your system as per your requirements & save some boot time.
Note: This is configured for PC which has 512 RAM , an Intel dual core processor with RHEL5.1. but holds good for all most all configurations. - Admin (CosmoCyber)

Export Email Addresses of all your Facebook Friends
Export Email Addresses of all your Facebook Friends into Harddisk
The most important principle for Facebook is that every person owns and controls her information. Each person owns her friends list, but not her friends’ information. A person has no more right to mass export all of her friends’ private email addresses than she does to mass export all of her friends’ private photo albums. - Facebook
There’s however a simple (and perfectly legal) workaround that can help you easily download all your friends email addresses from Facebook’s walled site.

Friends Secretly Delete You As a Contact
How to Know When Facebook Friends Secretly Delete You As a Contact
“A and B are now friends on Facebook” – That’s the message displayed in your Facebook profile each time you add a new friend on Facebook or someone else confirms your pending request.
But the reverse is not always true – you will never know when existing friends remove you from their Facebook friends list. The count of your friends will decrease but Facebook won’t reveal the name of the person who just unfriended you.
You can however play detective using some applications. These 'app's will let you know when friends quietly remove as a connection on Facebook.
Unfriend Directory
Unfriend Monitor
Unfriender
Note: The only downside is that these may works only with friends that you have added after installing the Facebook application.
Disclaimer: Some 'app's may be vulnerable.
