The whole idea behind the creation of Adblock Plus was to remove the annoying "features" from web sites. Blinking text, lots of animation, pop-up ads, more ads than content, etc. do nothing but detract from a visitor's experience. In the same vein, I don't watch television to see the comme...

INQUIRER guide to free operating systems XP is getting a bit long in the tooth, Vista is a pig, and you don't want to buy a Mac and join the Jobs Cult.

I was looking up a shareware program called PTFB (Push The Freakin' Button) and found the developer's blog. He had recently fixed a weird problem with his IDE DVD burner.

The article should have said "power reclamation" instead of "power generation". At least the water treatment plants can recover some of the power that they used to pressurize the water. It's better than just throwing it away when they bleed off excess pressure.

One more tip: After you uninstall the old version and before installing the new one, go to your Program Files / Applications folder and delete the old Mozilla Firefox folder. You don't want to have any leftover program "dregs" on your computer before installing the shiny, new release. Your...
