I did exactly what you're looking for using [Safari AdBlock][1]. Just define a few rules in Safari->Preferences->AdBlock and you should be good to go!

Whilst it is possible to correctly guess where your code needs testing, I generally think you need metrics to back up this guess. Unit testing in my view goes hand in hand with code-coverage metrics.
Code with lots of tests but a small coverage hasn't been well tested. That said, code with 100% coverage but not te... |
If you're looking to access SQLite databases on the browser (ie. client side) you'll need your browser to support it. You can do it with SpiderApe http://spiderape.sourceforge.net/plugins/sqlite/ which assumes that browser is Mozilla based (ie. with SQLite support). You'll still need to allow access to the underlying l... |
If you want to customize message processing, consider implementing IMessageFilter, then call Application.AddMessageFilter to tell the standard message pump to call your filter function. |
If you are using the `Tooltip` control on the form, you can do it like this:

You can run Rational Robot from the command line, so you should be able to set up a scheduled task to run a .BAT file to do this for you. The command is something like:

An SOA design includes components (i.e., _services_) that can be used by code regardless of implementation (i.e., any OS or langauge). A single instance of a service may also be used by multiple applications, whereas, e.g., a DLL would have to be duplicated for each app and require the same implementation technology a... |
As Martin Fowler says, it means different things to different people. His article on the topic is pretty good although it isn't quite a definition.

I think you're confusing concepts here.
The `ReadOnlyCollection` provides a read-only wrapper for an existing collection, allowing you (Class A) to pass out a reference to the collection safe in the knowledge that the caller (Class B) cannot modify the collection (i.e. cannot **add** or **remove** any elements from ... |
Is there an Unobtrusive Captcha for web forms? |

You might want to take a look at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WBXML">wbxml</a> (Wireless Binary XML) it is optimized for size, and often used on mobile phones, but it is not optimized for parsing speed. |
Loads, stick `string.Format` into Google :-)
A quite good tutorial is at <a href="http://idunno.org/archive/2004/14/01/122.aspx">http://idunno.org/archive/2004/14/01/122.aspx</a> |
As Keith said above. The most common one I use is currency:
String.Format("{0:c}", 12000);
Which would output £12,000.00 |
Yes, you could format it this way:
string.Format("Format number to: {0 : #.00}", number);
string.Format("Format date to: {0 : MM/dd/yyyy}", date); |
Also to consider: in debug mode, the variables are initialized with 0xCCCCCCCC instead of zero. That might have some nasty side effects. |
Make sure your project is set to target 3.5, and not 2.0.
As others have said, your 'var' test is a test of C#3 (i.e. VS2008), not the 3.5 framework.
If you set the project framework target settings properly, you should not expect to need to manually add dll references at this point. |

This is probably overkill, but you could also invoke script on the WebBrowser control and then use the scroll properties of the body tag. Or the scrollTo method of the window.
To invoke script, the WebBrowser control has a Document property that represents the document object from the DOM. It has a method called Inv... |

@Matt,
You can still use the HttpWebRequest, then direct the response you receive to the actual outputstream response, this would serve the response back to the user. The only issue is that any relative urls would be broken.
Still, that may work.

Is this the proper use of a mutex? |

I've never seen labels used "in the wild" in Java code. If you really want to break across nested loops, see if you can refactor your method so that an early return statement does what you want.
Technically, I guess there's not much difference between an early return and a label. Practically, though, almost every Ja... |
You need to manually free strings only when you manually allocate the memory yourself using "malloc" or "new" operators. If you do not use either of them then the char* or string will be created on the stack or as a compile-time constant. |

LOB/CLOB column may not be large enough. Hibernate has some default column sizes for LOB/CLOB that are relatively small (may depend on db). Anyway, try something like this:
