How to Block Ads in Google Chrome

There has been a tremendous response to Google Chrome (at least from the Techie community), however, people are still holding from using Chrome for the simple reason - it cannot stop those ads being served to you. Now, there is a 'fix' to avoid that. At Geekzone forums, Master Geek wmoore explains how to block 'em without an extension.
  1. Download and install Privoxy.
  2. Click on the Wrench icon in Chrome in the upper right corner.
  3. Choose options>Under The Hood>Change proxy settings.
  4. In the Internet Properties dialog's Connections tab, click on the LAN settings button.
  5. Check off "Proxy settings" and in the address setting add 127.0.0.1 and in the port 8118.
  6. If you have the option, you can also check off "Bypass proxy for local settings".
  7. Click "Ok", close Chrome and restart it.

There are couple of resources which guide a User installing Bugzilla on a Unix/linux machine. However, this entry describes a way to install Bugzilla on a Windows machine (W2K to be precise). This document guides you step by step through the installation process. First, get Administrative access to the machine on which you want to install Bugzilla. It should be a simple step.

Get Bugzilla Then download the Bugzilla from http://bugzilla.org/download.html . There are two ways of gettng it - through CVS or direct downloading the tar file. Remember there are no Zip files.

What are the different type of JDBC drivers?

There are four types of JDBC database driver: The JDBC/ODBC bridge driver (Type 1) A piece of native C-code that translates a JDBC call to an ODBC call. Use this driver for development, not for industrial-strength application environments. Note that you have to have an ODBC database driver manager + an ODBC database driver installed on the server in addition to the JDBC/ODBC bridge. Though useful for learning JDBC and quick testing, bridging solutions are rarely appropriate for production environments. Native API partly java driver (Type 2) A piece of native C-code that translates a java JDBC call to a native database call level API. Use this driver for development and deployment. Due to its native code, this driver can only be used by Java Applications with full computer access (i.e. not Applets). Type 2 drivers generally provide the best performance, but they require the installation of native libraries on clients that need to access the database. Applications using Type 2 drivers ...
