FireFox 1.0 - 'Working Offline'

Bug 269962 - Viewed Pages not visible/do not open in 'Work Offline' mode I put it up on Bugzilla As I had mentioned I get an error message when I try to open a fully loaded and viewed page later after I have closed the browser ... and started it again in the next session or after restarting the PC. (This is not with just dynamically generated pages) IF YOU TOO ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM - GO VOTE FOR THE BUG - AS ITS STILL MARKED AS AN UNCONFIRMED BUG ... UPDATE : THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO HAPPEN FOR ALL PAGES Currently listening to : 'Bam Bhole' by Sunidhi Chauhan Currently Reading : The Lords of the Rings - JRR Tolkien POLITICS : The First refuge of Scoundrels - TJS George One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Religious Acrimony

The turn of events is ominous - the head of the Kanchi Mutt Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati's arrest smacks of political motives - Jayalalitha's handling the case is stupid, malafide and plain insulting ... A senior pontiff of a religious community (read Hindu) and venerated by millions cannot be humiliated in such a lousy fashion. The seer was neither informed in advance, nor his statement taken at his arrest and he was kept in a jail even though Laloo can be kept in VIP luxury. The sequence of events can take a disastrous turn if the communal overtones this event signifies are not handled. An Iteresting quote by someone : The claim by Jayendra Saraswathi that he will not get justice if he is sent to police custody is a slur on the Kanchi Mutt, and undermines the spirituality which it is supposed to purvey. For, the Junior Acharya who returned to the Mutt on November 16, appealed to all devotees to offer special prayers from November 17. "They cou
As reported in my previous post - this is what I get when I try to open a viewed page later; after I have closed the browser ... and started it again in the next session or after restarting the PC. 

The Browser

The browser is too good - tabbed browsing, ads blocked, RSS feeds, integrated search toolbar, skinnable, extensions, much more secure (observed those HTTPS URL highlight when you open GMail) and rock solid stable ... Thats FireFox 1.0 PR (yet to use the final release) for you. However why do pages that I have viewed a few days back not visible after a few days - Any setting that any of you are aware of ? Conjectures - Once you close the browser or the OS does it erase the cache on opening next time and where is the cache kept ? Please tell me - I have completely shifted to FireFox from the crashy IE 6.0 - However this thing is nagging me ...
...It is not Death but the beginning or start of a new journey towards the Ultimate Goal Grieve not ... Its a new chance !

Strength is the essence of life

The very nature of human mind is to think of reaching greater heights - but a certain thing becomes the object of defining this success. It is essentially learning, wisdom and knowledge in abstract terms. In material terms either name or fame or money - the lucre plays an important role in this world today - it is something that everyone needs how much ever you deny its need. It is something that should be used and not be run behind - I was reading and both Swami Vivekananda and Buddha say - make money and use it as any other thing but do not get obsessed with it - it should not become a blind illusion. Swami Vivekananda in his writings mentions - work hard, earn the money lawfully and as much as you want, but never remain attached to it - be ready to give up your money and riches at any time. This thought was running in my mind, a lump in my throat and these words are like a vomiting �?? in fact that mind dump ... Both the abstract and material aspect that I mention above give us stre
