You haven't mentioned any sexy Firefox add-ons lately. Here are my suggestions for the add-ons I couldn't manage without: MORE ESSENTIAL FIREFOX ADD-ONSThese have been covered before in PCLOSMAG: BetterPrivacy 1.68 http://nc.ddns.us/extensions.htmlKills all cookies dead!
DownloadHelper 4.9.9 http://www.downloadhelper.net/Download movies to your hard drive. These are excellent and deserve a mention too:Flashblock 1.5.15.1 http://flashblock.mozdev.org/Stops flash from downloading and playing unless you want to see it. Protects you from unsolicited movies that steal all your bandwidth. Works well with DownloadHelper (see above) and YouTube. gTranslate 0.9 https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/918Right-click selected text for instant translation in pop-up window. Mozilla Archive Format 2.0.5 http://maf.mozdev.org/Create single-file archive of current tab or all tabs. Can create backward-compatible MSIE mhtml file too!
Nuke Anything Enhanced 1.0.2 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/?src=apiObliterate those hideous floating objects that obscure so many websites. Right-click it, nuke it, and it's gone! You can also "undo" a delete that took away an important bit of the page.
Pixlr Grabber 2.1.1 http://www.pixlr.com/Save any part of the displayed web-page to an image file. Has an online editing option too.
Print Edit 8.3 https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/print-edit/Take out the adds, pictures, blank spaces and other junk before you print a web-page.

I'm sorry. I only read the first page, and have to leave home shortly.
I have a half-decent dell tower that I want to make into a ftp-server. I have windows-xp on it, but would like the security of Linux. Why can't an end-user as I, get what I want without having to learn a massive amount of Linux first?
Secondly.... I like to collect backgrounds from all over the world. Including lots from my neck-of-the-woods. What about a "my neck-of-the-woods, pics & background spot?

At 38 that amount looks small at 48 the same amount looks much bigger at 58 the same amount looks massive Solution: Get 38 again. fwiw: I also have that problem |

It's Winders that is why it is never going to be as secure as Linux  As for an FTP server in Linux is IS NOT that hard to setup and run. One does NOT have to learn a massive amount of Linux first either. |

Well, once you know how, it's easy - like anything else.  |

During the last couple of weeks, like a lot of people in the UK, I lost my digital TV channels and couldn't scan for their replacements. With a bit of help and a compile of w_scan, I got it together. It's a bit parochial but would you like the nitty gritty written up?
I could also provide w_scan compiled to the current 64-bit kernel although I don't know how to package it into an rpm.

Was that only necessary because you were using 64 bit, as w_scan is in the 32 bit repo ..... or does the package need updating? I mention it only because it is my understanding that the mag will not be carrying 64 bit articles until 64bit is released. |

w_scan has been added to 64bit repo. When the mag staff is ready to do 64bit articles, they will do some fine articles. I have no doubt of that. |
