Anonymous is everywhere.
Anonymous has no identity.
Anonymous is an unstoppable force.
Anonymous doesn’t fall in battle, anyway.

These are all some famous quotes about anonymous , lets get into our topic . Anonymous browsing or Proxy Surfing  is simply browsing the World Wide Web with most of your identity hidden. Proxy surfing is necessary for two cases

  1. Securing Information
  2. Freedom to browse all websites from Internet

Why do we need it?
Case 1 : Securing Information
If you are connected with network or Internet , your computer or network device will be assigned by one unique IP address , using that address only the computers can transfer the data from one to another and also all information might be collected such as your location , packets information, personal data. so we need to protect our data.

Case 2: Freedom to browse all websites from Internet
In college or school , Management will use proxy server to ban some websites for security purpose. Its necessary to prevent student to browse an inappropriate websites but due to this they cannot surf all the information from Internet. Some times the proxy server will block some important websites. Internet is like a universe , There would be good and bad things in it . You are the responsible person to collect the information based on your need.so freedom for browsing is needed for this case.

How to do it ?
User can install proxy software to browse all information from Internet . In our case lets take Ubuntu Linux for installing tor.  The following software are needed for proxy surfing in Ubuntu Linux Operating System .

  1. tor  – The Online Router
  2. privoxy -  A web based program often used with tor
  3. torbutton  – Firefox add-on for tor

The tor package using socks 5 connection which is specially used for proxy server communication . You can install these packages using synaptic package manager in Ubuntu or manually download the following files and just click on it

After installing these packages, Just open the Firefox and enable the tor button which would be in bottom-left corner. If you are using some other browser like Opera then manually assign the Ip address in Network Option .

Tor manual IP

Tor manual IP

Finally We need to add two lines in privoxy config file . Goto  /etc/ptivoxy/config file in root mode

#sudo su

#gedit /etc/privoxy/config

In section 4.1 add the following line

Your-IP-address :8118

In my case

192.168.34.23:8118

Add the following at end of the config file

forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .

Note : Space and dot also very important , do not mistype anything . I have attached sample configuration file for your reference

Click hete to download sample privoxy config file

Enjoy the freedom of browsing the INTERNET …..

I generally have lots of windows left open on my desktop whenever I am working. Call me lazy for not closing the unused ones, or call me overworked. The truth is things start to get out of control easily. Especially, if you have a small monitor and very little screen estate. Windows 7 does a nice job of managing this clutter with its awesome task bar, however there are some applications you should download to help manage with your windows management.

I’ve listed 5 of the best apps to hide, resize and do some funky stuff like translucency, all in the name of productivity. Check them
out:

1. KDE Window Resizer

One of the things I absolutely adore in KDE Window Resizer is how they handle window resizing and moving. You simply hold down the ALT key, just about grab the window from anywhere and you can move the window around. No need to grab the title bar. Perfect for situations  when the title bar is off screen due to change in screen resolution. To resize the window, just hold the ALT key and click and drag the right mouse button and the window starts resizing according to the movement.

2. Window Hider

Window Hider is a simple application that you can use for managing the open windows. It does two things – it can hide the window you want  by simply moving your mouse cursor to the corner or it can kill the application you specify.

You can give Window Hider a list of programs and a shortcut key then when you press that shortcut key it hides only those windows in your list. You can also activate hot corners on screen which hides all the programs in your list by simply moving the mouse cursor to the hot corner. Pretty cool.

3. Desk TopMost

So you have a lot of open windows? And you want to access the desktop icons? You could hit Win+D, but then you wouldn’t be able to return to the windows as they were opened, you would have restore the window from the taskbar yourself. Windows7 and Aero peek does an excellent job of it. In case you are not using Windows 7 or your computer doesn’t support the slick Aero Peek, you should try Desk Topmost. Just hit Ctrl + Alt + D and it provides you with a translucent overlay of your desktop over the open windows. After you are done, just right click anywhere and its gone.

4. Power Resizer

Allows you to mimic another one of the Windows 7 features, power resizer neatly fits your open windows to half screens or maximises them as you drag them to a screen edge or to the top of the screen. Simon covered it earlier here.

5. WindowTabs

WindowTabs attaches a small tab to the top of your windows. You can then drag tabs on top of each other to group them into tabbed windows. Use Alt + Right Arrow and Alt + Left Arrow to cycle through the tabs. Clicking on the tab with your mouse cursor willl take you to the tab as well. The application has a trial and a full version. While the trial version doesn’t have any time limits or nag screens, you would be limited to 3 tabs per group, which is not so bad of a deal.

How did those apps help you with your cluttered screen? Know of any more applications that fit the criteria? Or perhaps better alternatives to the above? Let’s hear about them in the comments.

Yes It is possible to prove that 1 = 2 .Some Assumptions are necessary to prove that any mathematical equations and theorems. for example 0! = 1; 1^0 = 1,  These are called magic numbers . using this we can also prove 1 =  2 .  Two methods are given here to prove this equation. but still several methods are there to prove this . post the possible solutions through comments on this post.

Method 1

a^2 – b^2 = (a+b) (a-b)               ——-          Eqn 1

a^2 – a^2 = (a+a) (a-a)               ——-          Eqn 2

a^2 – a^2 = a (a-a)                      ——-          Eqn 3

Equate 2 and 3

a (a-a)  = (a+a) (a-a)

=>  a = (a+a)

If a =1 then 1 = (1+1)

=>   1 = 2  (Proved)

Method 2

If a^m = b^n then

m =n

1^0 = 1^1

=> 0 = 1

Add one on both sides

0+1 = 1+1

=> 1 = 2 (Proved)
