If you browse the internet often you know what I am talking about. Ads are everywhere. And necessary for paying for hosting bills and like but sometimes they are just plain annoying and useless distraction. Besides heavy and bad ads even take up a lot of bandwidth. In the end you might just say, Enough, now I will call the shots. I will decide what I see and not. So here I will brief you about the Do’s and Don’t in blocking unnecessary advertisements.

Crawling the web for some real action I stumbled upon this jewel of a site. http://www.n5233.tk/ I must admit, I have never seen such a hardcore modding site for Nokia users. Disclaimer: Flashing your Phone, modding and carrying out the ‘experiments’ as mentioned in the site may and probably will VOID YOUR WARRANTY so proceed with caution and at your own risk. I am posting this only for educational purposes and any damage caused whatsoever is not my fault or responsibility. The bottomline is proceed at your own risk. There is even another danger, that is incorrect flashing will ‘brick’ your phone, meaning which your phone will be useless and its memory will be corrupted, probably beyond repair. So if you have no problems with a really costly paperweight, you can easily go ahead. In any case, consider yourself warned. Alright enough of scaring you, but honestly many have done it (read others have failed). Check it out!

Mozilla 4 launched on 22nd March, 2011 Need I say more? Now let’s take a look at Mozilla’s flagship site : http://glow.mozilla.org Let’s look at some screenshots : - http://glow.mozilla.org The counter shows the number of downloads. Reaching 10 million now!!! The guys at Firefox even managed to keep tabs(literally) of vertical bars to denote number of downloads per minute! They are visible in the bottom of the page, yes those piano button like controls. Insane! Click on the Semi Circle in the bottom left of the first screen and here you come /\ Click on the links on your right bar and see the magic, I could not believe it!!! Stats, just stats!!! They ran so deep, really this hierarchical pie chart control is excellent. I was really impressed! What did I do? Just clicked the ‘Download Firefox’ link. :)

This is an excellent starter for all fuzzy logic programmers. By Seshi from New Zealand, read the original text here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/Seshi_FuzzyLogic.aspx Introduction Download source - 395 Kb Yay, my second article for code project. Like my first article this one was also one of my assignments for AI at university and I thought I'd try this one out in WPF using C# as well. Fuzzy logic - a dictionary like description: "Fuzzy logic is a mathematical approach to problem solving. It excels in producing exact results from imprecise data, and is especially useful in computers and electronic applications. Fuzzy logic differs from classical logic in that statements are no longer black or white, true or false, on or off. In traditional logic an object takes on a value of either zero or one; in fuzzy logic, a statement can assume any real value between 0 and 1, representing the degree to which an element belongs to a given set.

  Yesterday I had a frightening experience settling disputes between Avast Antivirus Free 6.0.0.24 and Daemon Tools Lite 4.40. In the end I admit, it was horrible experience for me. The problem remained. I had Daemon Tools Lite installed on my machine. I was using Avast Antivirus Free 5.x. I had no problems. Avast released their latest upgrade as 6 series and I downloaded it and installed it. An additional bonus in this was the Sandbox and Auto Sandbox mode which isolates programs to prevent the spread of infection to the rest of the machine. Expecting rock solid integration of Avast I installed it, updated it and restarted it. The problems I faced were as follows: - Blue Screen of Death – Just before the logon screen is displayed, the BSOD popped. The error code was 00000x7f( in hexadecimal). On the BSOD it said some problem with the ahcix86.sys file. I was speptical. If that indeed was the case, safe mode would not work either So first I restarted it and logged into my secon

  Many times you will require a text editor that looks good, runs on XP, is reasonably fast and feature rich but most importantly light weight. Besides even if you like an editor there will be something not to your liking, say the looks, or the lack of a feature. Wish you could add a feature or two of your choice. Yet you would not like top pay hefty sum of money to the software developing companies. In that case your search should end here. Bringing to you my own open source text editor supporting multiple formats that will fulfill all your needs. In case it doesn’t, just add the feature you want or request me. The best part is that it is free and requires no Herculean configuration. A screenshot of my iNote in action : - Yes this is a screenshot taken in Windows XP Service Pack 2. All you have to do to get this running is to have a Windows OS(at least XP) and .NET Framework 3.0 Some Features : Ribbon UI like the Wordpad in Windows Seven Skinnable Interface Spell Checker Ea
