Blocking browsers has been a topic of discussion ever since somebody had the bright idea of blocking IE because of its failure to adhere to the proper standards. More recently, Firefox started to be blocked from a select number of sites because the site owners are against the add-on Adblock Plus. Regardless of the reason, is it ever a good idea to block a browser?
The thing I love the most about Firefox is that I have the power to customize it based on the contributions of the Firefox community. Based on using Firefox for years, here are the extensions that I use and recommend to others.
No need to go storm chasing on this day. One storm after another rolled right over my house. I caught the first two on camera, but everything after that hit on through the night after that was too dark to get except for a few lightning strikes.
Although I agree that Wordpress deserves all the publicity they can get, I want my site logo to show on the login screen, and not Wordpress because it’s my site, and I want people to know that they are logging into my site. In this how to article, I am going to explain step-by-step how to create a Wordpress login screen like the one I have in place.
Many people have seen the Digg article on blocking Firefox in response to Adblock, which blocks inline ads and shows the webpage like the ads never existed. The owner of this site argues that it is stealing because the ads are what pays for and maintains the site. While that may or may not be true, blocking all Firefox users is a bad response to this “issue” that a select number of people have made of it.
I recently serviced a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop. It suffered lightning damage, and as I was looking at the power pack, I noticed something quote dangerous that could shock an unsuspecting victim.
Unfortunately for all of you that are to lazy to check and modify your code for PHP 5, your procrastinating days are drawing to a close. Support for PHP 4 ends on December 31, 2007. Ever since the PHP5 official release on July 13, 2004, the PHP group has been supporting both versions 4 and 5 together, allowing plenty of time for the developers to check and tweak their code.
Now to review, the fact that they say they are not supporting it on their website does not mean that you won’t be able to use it. It just means that you shouldn’t expect any more updates. According to PHP’s website, they won’t be releasing any major updates to PHP 4.4 after this year, and they will be releasing critical updates on a case-by-case basis only until August 08, 2008.
Does this sound familiar?…

A friend of mine had that problem on a wireless network a bit ago, and not being a hard core gamer, it wasn’t easy for me to figure out because I’ve never used one of those things before (so sue me).
If you are on the Internet a lot, chances are you have a lot of accounts to remember. How do you remember them? Do you keep them in your head, or do you write them down? Some people opt to write them down because they can’t remember them, but others say writing them down is bad because other people can find it. Well, cPanel can’t make up their mind because they contradict themselves right on the set password page.
