Facebook is having loading problems in all browsers

Hi guys, are you having problems with facebook loading badly in all your browsers, i have the same problem, the screenshot shown shows how my facebook page looks when it loads.
I have tried many things including, trying to clean up the system, turning off my firewall, deleting browser history and cookies, Uninstalling and installing browsers while trying new ones but nothing worked.
But i have discovered a trick that has enabled me to browse facebook without further problem. This is what i did:
Open internet explorer(the browser has to be internet explorer otherwise it wont work) and go to facebook ( www.facebook.com ) , When the facebook page loads you will see a error message bar on the top of the facebook page highlighted in yellow saying that it has blocked some content.
Click on that yellow bar
A list will be displayed then on the list  click on Display content. All the hidden facebook content will be displayed and you will browse without problems.
Anyway wish you all the best, hope this info helps you.

Format a flash disk in linux

Hi guys am going to show you how to format a flash drive in linux
okay first open the terminal
Then type Sudo fdisk -l
then it will tell you to input password for sudo, for this enter your password
then a list like shown in the picture below will be displayed

Look for your flash drive it will be listed as /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb(something), dont choose any drive listed as /dev/sda because those are your computer hard drives
ok after you spot your Flash drive type:
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb (this is the name of your flash drive)
Wait for a few minutes and your flash will be formatted
the command mkfs says the flash is to be formatted
vfat(fat32)specifies the file system your flash is to have, this implies that you can specify other file systems for your drive e.g ntfs,vfat etc
/dev/sdb specifies your flash drive

Insert Your disk in your Computer
Open the Command prompt by going to search on the start button(Windows 7) or run (Windows XP) then typing cmd
On the command prompt type: Diskpart
then a administator cmd window shows up, in it type: list volume
A list of volumes shows up, look up for your volume in the list and then type: select volume n(where n is the number of your drive)
then type: attribute disk clear readonly
and now close the CMD window and eject the flash disk then insert again and now your Flash drive will work.
