try using the noscript extension and whitelisting javascript only for sites that aren't frustrating, or check out userscripts.org to see if the websites in question have greasemonkey scripts to remove the adds. if developing your own script then the firebug extension is invaluable.
You can query WMI for a variety of data using Perl, for example, to find out all the removable media drives in the system, then construct a diskpart script (particularly the command assign).
There are several ways to do this, with varying levels of stability and performance.
QEMU will run Linux, BSDs, and Windows, from either Windows or Linux. Colinux will run linux from Windows XP. I'm not sure what the latest Fedora Image for it is, but I run a 2.6 kernel based Gentoo build from XP frequently (for that nethack fix).
I'm not sure either is suitable, but i would recommend looking at them, as they are both interesting projects, if not immediately useful to you.
The problem I have is that even though you might be able to install a DEB or RPM from some other distro, the chances of it working are often slim. I realize different distros want to do things "their way", but it would be nice if they'd standardize on things more.
apt-get is cross distro, in that it can be used on multiple distributions (and no, i don't just mean debian derivatives), and synaptic is an excellent gui for apt.
autopackage allows easy gui installation of programs from a single.package file.
I'd recommend snagging the source of mkisofs and changing the code for the output stream to point to something apache can forward or, whip up a small web server that does nothing but handle GETs for these on-the-fly isos based on session data stored in postgres or something.
Now I have a version of Firefox that runs as me instead of running as root
Firefox launched as your user runs as your user regardless of where it is installed, unless installed suid root or you are in the sys or adm groups (off the top of my head), or launched using sudo, gnomesu or similar.
D.E.'s aside. You transform the D.E.'s into a solvable problem in the Linear Programming world.
Like, what an iterative numerical problem?
Im sorry, but as i did my project on the mathematics of the Trojan Points (which are Lagrange Points) even tiny differences in weight, or forces applied can give completely different answers, I cannot believe that in orbital mechanics they don't make more of a difference.
How does one convert a system of orbital mechanics equations into a linear programming problem?
(At the Trojan Points the forces that act on an object when considered in a rotating frame of reference are minimal, and they have a huge impact on the outcome)
This does not, however, change the fact that neither the LZW algorithm nor the RSA algorithm would have been invented if there were no computers
Why not? They would be of less use without computers, (RSA is non trivial to do by hand, but possible) but that does not mean they would not have been 'invented', as much as a mathematical algortihm can be called an invention.

I just use the alt+printscreen to capture the active window only.
Ghostbusters!
The compiler in question was not GCC, and the complete story can be seen in the paper reflections on trusting trust
As far as I can see, someone suggested a VAX port of debian, but there is no actual port, supported or otherwise. see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0201/msg01512 .html
You can however use NetBSD on a VAX, apparently. http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/vax/
You could use a greasemonkey script, searching for all links containing the text compare prices, then removing them.
I'm no javascript programmer, but it should be able to handle that fairly easily.

.package files would/should work on any distro. Also worth looking into are componentized linux, and the Linux standards base .
However, autopackage
I'm not saying that things are perfect, however, I will say that things continue to get better.
apt-get is cross distro, in that it can be used on multiple distributions (and no, i don't just mean debian derivatives), and synaptic is an excellent gui for apt.

autopackage allows easy gui installation of programs from a single
god outside the machine.
Hence, when in a novel, people are 'miraculously saved' it is described as a deus ex machina.
So surely google wants to be a godlike machine, not a deus ex machina.

With ye old Baldurs Gate 2, I found it interesting to replay with limited party size, sometimes just me, or just me and a multiclassed thief/priest.
It was one of those games where you could try different strategies in nearly any battle.
That's not to say I disagree with you.

Linear programming will not make the cut, you need at least differential equations.
Yes, i do know a little aobut this, the whole topic of this years project was celestial mechanics on my math course.
Linear programming is only good for at best 2 body problems, and even then it can only cope with restricted dimensions.
However, the article is linked on the front page of slashdot, but it is only one of many pages in wikipedia.
