I can remember back when the big deal about Firefox vs IE was that Firefox had TABBED BROWSING. And just what was so cool about that? If you’re the type of surfer I am who likes to have multiple sites open at once, it was a royal pain to have to use the back button or click through open windows to go from site to site. I found out during a training class in HTML that Opera had always had tabbed browsing....

Socket Clients and Servers Sockets allow networked software to communicate. They were first implemented in the 4.2BSD Unix operating system, which was created at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1983.

That means it fits with the general Unix and Linux design principle of “everything is a file....

HUP and SIGHUP Unix, the ancestor of Linux, was created before the PC was invented. Computers were large, expensive pieces of equipment. People interacted with them over serial lines either locally within the same building or remotely over slow modem connections. Originally, they typed their instructions on teleprinters that were gradually replaced by dumb terminals. They were called dumb because the processing power was in the computer you were connected to, not the terminal you were typing on....

Apple is still on track to release iOS 16 for iPhone (and iPod Touch) sometime this fall, likely around the time the new iPhones are revealed, which is currently rumored for September 7. However, the accompanying iPadOS 16 update for iPads won’t roll out at the same time. In fact, Apple is skipping iPadOS 16.0 entirely — the company just rolled out a beta for iPadOS 16.1, and the completed version will likely arrive around the time as iOS 16....

Note: This extension only works in Firefox 3 Beta 5 or later, and is still an alpha release, so it’s likely to cause crashes and generally have problems. But it looks sweet! Notice how the glass extends all the way down the navigation bar now: And you have the full transparent glass effect: You can also add in a Stylish script to change the bookmarks bar to look like Windows Explorer if you want, although I don’t personally like the way that looks:...

In a previous article, we covered how to customize the logon screen for Windows XP, but that method only worked if you are using the regular logon screen.

You could completely uninstall Skype, and then reinstall it without checking the button, but there’s a simpler (and more geeky) method. Removing Skype Extension Manually The first thing you want to do is go into Tools \ Add-ons and disable the extension if you haven’t already. You’ll notice that there’s no uninstall option, which is rather irritating… Skype is very useful, but it shouldn’t pollute my Firefox.

Syntax: Example: Rather useful, no? I’ve found it very useful even when I know the name of the package I’m trying to install, you can figure out what the names of extra plugins are, as in the above example.

Spotify has a shuffle button that stays in its current state, either on or off, when you change what’s playing. Thankfully, Spotify is adding a new button that can save you from constantly switching shuffle on and off when starting a new playlist. If you’re listening to Spotify with shuffle enabled, the mode will (usually) stay on when you click on a different album or playlist, which isn’t always ideal — maybe you want to listen to an album with the original song transitions intact, or your friend made a playlist that sounds best in the default sorting....
