How to change Adobe Flash Player Security and Privacy Settings.

Omegle has became a recent favorite time pass for my hostel mates and unfortunately for my friends (for me too) who were using Ubuntu Linux OS, Omegle was not working very fine. The problem was with a privacy security warning which appeared before they connected themselves to the stranger on the other side. Though my friends on this side was least cared about PRIVACY they were unable to click the Allow Button. The message was that

Camera and Microphone access

www.blahblah.com is requesting access to your camera and microphone. If you click allow you may be recorded.

Now there is a button to Allow but it is UN-CLICKABLE  :(

Immediately after facing the problem we googled a lot but were unable to find a solution.

Even now though we haven’t solved it, we are able to work fine with the Camera.

Now here I will explain how to access Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager to correct the problem of “Un-Clickable”.

For getting it well you have to change a few settings of Adobe Flash Player at the Settings Manager. Now you can’t actually access this settings manager from your computer but you have to goto SettingsManager

Now you can see various options like

On clicking on these various panel options, Settings Manager which appears to be a image is seen. It’s actually your Settings Manager and not just an image. You can change the settings here. In this particular case for fixing the issue with the camera, Click Website Privacy Settings Panel.

In the website list, scroll down to find omegle.com or the site which camera is not working fine for you. After selecting the website click on ‘ Always Allow ‘. Now you won’t be asked any privacy security question at that particular website, here Omegle. So you can have comfortable chat with Strangers now.

Now this same Adobe Settings Manager Can be used to increase the Volume of recording while using flash based Webcam applications. For increasing it goto Microphone Settings.

From Central-Processing on the CPU to Co-Processing on CPU & GPU

Hope you have read

Will The GPU Replace The CPU Or Will It Be The Other Way Around?


Here we discuss about the coordinated and synchronized use of CPU and GPU to improve efficiency of applications even further than using either device independently. This is made possible with the help NVIDIA’s parallel computing architecture, CUDA.

Computing is evolving from “central processing” on the CPU to “co-processing” on the CPU and GPU. To enable this new computing paradigm, NVIDIA invented the CUDA parallel computing architecture that is now shipping in GeForce, ION, Quadro, and Tesla GPUs, representing a significant installed base for application developers.

CUDA parallel computing architecture which is now being shipped with GeForce, ION,Quadro and Tesla GPUs ,make the new computing paradigm possible. The CUDA architecture’s applications can now be found in Medical Simulations like in analysis of CT and MRI scan images, Fluid Dynamics Simulation, Seismic Analysis and much more. The buzz is that in the near future itself almost every application which uses video rendering will be accelerated by CUDA.

With the recent launches of Microsoft Windows 7 and Apple Snow Leopard, GPU computing has got even more better with the GPU being evolved GPGPU which stands for General Purpose Graphical Processing Unit. It’s being said that BOINC distributed computing now uses CUDA technology for it’s better efficiency.

OpenCL (Open Computing Language) and Microsoft’s DirectCompute, a new GPU Computing API are just two tools which make the developers possible to harness the power of GPU computing. A Fortran language solution is also in development which can use the power GPU computing.

Search for Ebooks on Google more effectively with Advanced Google Search Operators

Many times we have tried searching for pdf/chm books online and using our ordinary search queries, rarely give any results fast. But with a simple geeky search you can find what you want in first page of Google Search Result.

I am just giving the method and you can try and verify it yourself.

In the first case I am using just the Book Name as the search query in google.

In the second method instead of using just the Book Name, use the following query for searching in Google.

intitle:index.of chm|pdf <book name>

Results are incredibly different. Instead of being taken to their Website you can access their website just as you access various directories in your computer and download it at ease.

NB: Never use this method for downloading WAREZ from illegal websites. Hope you would use it right way.

In one of the following posts I will explain about the various Advanced Search Operators which can be used while searching on internet with Google.
