Being a legal purchaser (or renter) of DVD’s, or Blu-Ray can be annoying.
You have to deal with all those warnings, then you are forced to wait for the trailers to pass.
While you can speed them up there is a much easier way.
The technique is press: stop, stop, play.
This will have you show up at the DVD menu like you wanted!

Moving a blog can be highly tedious at times (sometimes it can even lead to why?).
Free hosts usually don’t have enough space, features, or bandwidth that sometimes can crop up.
Moving to a paid host can be troubling since you have to redirect all of your old viewers (including RSS subscribers) to your new URL.
Or if you have a URL your blog could be down for a few hours to a few days because of the transfer, leading to your viewers thinking you have jumped ship.

We all at some time have either needed or wanted to disable flash in our web browsers.
Either because it’s hogging to many resources, crashing to often, or consuming too much bandwidth.
Maybe you even need to disable it for a while due to a new security hole.

I do not know why Yahoo! is still the only major email provider that doesn’t allow free pop3 email access.
CNET TV though has a video on how to do this for free, although your mileage will vary.
