    7 Step Program to deleting a file

    How's this for deleting a file? This is precisely one of the things I personally can't stand about Vista at the moment. I hope they lay back on this 'ultra-security' stuff and stop trying to act like Unix. That pic was original on Flickr btw.

    Brad Nowell

    Some of you may be wondering about the avatar I’ve used throughout the month. It’s a CD cover from the ska band Sublime. In my opinion, Sublime is one of the most influential bands of the 90s. Nirvana inspired many bands out there, and I strongly believe Sublime had the same effect. <o></o>...
