Nero is one of the best pieces of software available in the market for CD/DVD Burning Purposes, but it ’s quite expensive. It’s bulky and comes with a lot of programs that you’ll never really use. Why not try some freeware CD DVD burning applications that can serve as an alternative to Nero Burning ROM for your Windows PC? http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Google's Official Statement on the Microsoft Bid for Yahoo, "Yahoo! and the future of the Internet": http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Also have a look at "FORGET SEARCH TECHNOLOGY. IT'S THE ADS, STUPID": http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I agree, this is the one I use as well - and with good results. Not sure if I would call it the best, I haven't experimented around much with antivirus software. I just know it's better than Norton. Way. Better. That statement may be true as long as you stay within the paradigm of a software firewall. I would argue that even the most basic hardware-based firewall (such as the one contained in the cheapest NAT router made in China) will give you a lot more protection than any software-based firewall would ever give you - almost by definition, and by virtue of combining firewall functions with the network address translation that it does. If we only talk about document editing (and you need to export in PDF format), I would go with the less resource-intensive combination of AbiWord and a decent freeware PDF printer driver. I agree. I'm addicted to some of the add-ons that have been written for FireFox - so much so that I'm disincentivized against experiementing more with Opera and other browsers. Don't like FF's memory footprint much, I have to admit.

It looks like someone predicted this more than one year ago: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ By the same token, Google could buy MS if they wanted to. Microsoft has no debt, it's an asset. All Google needs to do is put up enough equity to arrange financing. That amount could vary greatly depending on the source of the funding and stock prices of both companies. Ballmer has staked his reputation on this bid. By going hostile, Microsoft is attempting to shed its image as a stodgy old tech firm. They have a lot invested in getting this done. Losing a nasty, protracted clash could not only humiliate Steve Ballmer but also let Google further cement its place as the unrivaled king of the internet. At a minimum, losing the proxy fight would mean that Microsoft would have wasted valuable time, attention, and money. Worse, it could ensure that Google will face no "credible" rival for years to come, to use a term favored by Microsoft executives. The stakes are high. With Steve Ballmer, as usual, this is not just business, it's personal. Losing the proxy fight would be a humiliating defeat for Ballmer, a repudiation of his argument that Microsoft's bid represents the best way to create value for Yahoo shareholders. Now that Yahoo has turned down Microsoft's opening bid of $31 per share, and Microsoft is standing pat, for the moment, the two adversaries are locked in a game of billion-dollar chicken. The logic behind a proxy war stems from Yahoo's poison-pill provision, which prevents a single shareholder from acquiring more than a 15 percent stake in the company. Because Microsoft can't simply buy the company outright, it must nominate a new slate of directors and convince Yahoo shareholders to vote them onto the board. The new board would then dismantle the poison pill, allowing the merger to take place. In the event of a proxy fight, the odds are against Yahoo. Yahoo's board is not staggered, meaning that all directors face reelection every year, and directors need only win a plurality of votes. Microsoft probably underestimates the challenge that it faces in trying to win over Yahoo shareholders. Proxy fights against management's recommendation are an uphill battle. Microsoft's own shareholders might object to a protracted and nasty fight. And, of course, there is always a possibility that a white knight could emerge once the proxy fight is underway. Yahoo is in talks with News Corp., Google, and Time Warner's AOL. Whether by raising its bid above $31 per share, or by taking the merger directly to Yahoo shareholders in the form of a proxy fight, Microsoft will probably prevail. But losing the fight would be a billion-dollar black eye for Microsoft.

This could also be useful for finding hidden/unknown subdomains.

That's OK, for blocking JS scripts the easiest option is to hit Shift+Ctrl+B in AdBlock Plus and selecting the annoying element from the list.

Here is a reverse IP domain check tool that takes the domain name or IP address of a web server and searches for other sites known to be hosted on that same web server. Data is gathered from search engine results, which is not guaranteed to be complete. Knowing the other web sites hosted on a web server is important from both an SEO and web filtering perspective, particularly for those on shared web hosting plans. I tried it with dserban.astahost.com, and I was impressed with the results. http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/web-sites-on-web-server/

Is there a FireFox addon that shows you how long it took for each element on a web page to load (plus execute in the case of JS scripts).I'm thinking of removing unnecessary JS code on certain pages, where they affect overall page load performance.

The latest stable version of the Linux kernel 2.6.24 has just been released. https://www.kernel.org/ This kernel brings a lot of changes (the changelog is HUGE). According to Linus, most of the stuff is one-liners, and mostly not very exciting ones at that. There is however a new BroadCom driver, b43, a continuation of the existing bcm43xx driver, you will notice a significant performance improvement when you switch. _________________________________ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Considering that MySQL powers some of the largest sites, this might be a nice strategic move to get a foot into the RDBMS game and wag it back to the likes of Oracle and M$. However, I hope they keep it alive and healthy for the open source community. I cannot imagine LAMP without the strong "M" in it.
