Hi, Has anyone managed to block third-party content using the AdBlock Plus extension for Firefox? I found an article here: "Recognizing third-party content" https://adblockplus.org/blog/recognizing-third-party-content where the developer says it's possible, but I don't understand the practical implementation. Thanks.

Is the "DNS client" service running on your PC?

Hi docduke, Maybe this could help you. In order to make sure that the port which your torrent client is listening on is reachable from the Internet, I recommend you use this site: http://www.canyouseeme.org/ As a last resort, you may find the netstat -ano command (or a little program from Sysinternals called TCPView) useful in order to really make sure that your assumption about the listening port is correct. This should be enough for you to start troubleshooting, and I don't think you need to make your Win 98 PC the default DMZ server (that would be overkill).

I don't think there is any piece of freeware that does what you want.There is however NetLimiter (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) but it's for a single PC, not for a LAN.

I wouldn't even know why someone would use LimeWire when there are other, less bloated alternatives like Gnucleus.

I personally looked at Vista and decided for myself that the new features weren't compelling enough for me.Eye candy isn't a feature in my opinion.Sticking to XP for the time being and will probably use a virttualized instance of XP inside Ubuntu as my main rig in the future at some point.

I installed andLinux on this Dell laptop and as soon as you start any Linux app it gets flooded with a bunch of equal signs (as you can see in the videoclip below), I have no idea why. Remember, nobody is keying in one equal sign every second. It's just the weird behavior of this laptop. I have successfully installed andLinux on other PCs and it works as expected. I first suspected that it would be a keylogger or some such malware, but I scanned the laptop for viruses, spyware and rootkits and it came out clean. Here's the videoclip. sites.googlegroups.com/site/dserban01/andLinux.Equal.Signs.html?attachauth=ANoY7crWMbfksJvCN3nbrcrLTPSs4mIQ6tj0UYQ8HHEoU5-J_KOAb9RNUIkGLZqKe2wz_T5yaWd6mPYI_sJpndfSIXjBCLVGs3in5W5P1cCnt5R9W-Q5PzZM-g2rJoGEXLzR-K5S Alternative link: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Any ideas?

My Internet connection used to max out at about 50 kB/s sustained download speed.Then at some point I started to notice that it went up to 100 kB/s for the same kinds of downloads (Knoppix releases) without me having to pay more.Then I got a hold of FlashGet, and in some cases I would get speeds of up to 200 kB/s because I would set the number of jets (simultaneous download threads) to 30 (yes, there is a trick to get FlashGet to do 30, whereas the hard-coded maximum is 10).But today I installed a torrent tracker on my PC just for fun, and a friend of mine transferred a 1 GB file to me, just to see how fast it would go. The speed was fluctuating between 400 and 500 kB/s ;)My conclusion so far is that the bandwith you are getting is influenced by many factors, among them:- number of hops.- across the ocean, yes? no?- whether your ISP and the ISP of the host you are transferring data from/to is the same.- client software is single- or multi-threaded download-wise.- throttling of certain types of traffic (torrents) by ISPs.

Thanks for the reference to Real Player Alternative, it saved my day today.

I am looking for a way to unintrusively stream PDF documents into a web page (without the Acrobat Reader plug-in or what have you, kicking in).Kind of like YouTube streams an FLV video into a page.What I have found so far are things like iPaper ( https://www.scribd.com/user/5485746/ipaper) but on closer examination it looks like this one is streaming SCB documents (in this particular instance the document at documents.scribd.com/docs/2ilx1b8u571leozv8qrd.scb) - but it begs the question what the heck is a .SCB document anyway (I tried pulling it down to my hard drive and renaming it to .PDF to see if I could open it that way, to no avail).Any ideas?

Have you tried escaping the \ with another \ - therefore making a \\ out of it?The same trick might work by putting a \" instead of the "The backslash is a good guess for what the escape character is in many environments, it might be that in VB.NET it's the same as well.

Expect Dell to start including BluRay players / burners - in their high-end systems to begin with.

I have an mp3 file which is the soundtrack of a movie, and I also have subtitles for that movie (a file with the .srt extension).The requirement is to convert the mp3 file to an AVI file, so that it can be played in a video player and pick up the sub file.The screen needs to be entirely black of course, so that the subtitles can be read from the screen.How can this be achieved?

I would say start by using PHP as a standalone interpreter.Do not start by attempting to write dynamic web pages. Write command line based scripts that output some text to the console.Only when you have those down does it makes sense to play with web applications.
