Any easy way to remove floating ads after they appear (i.e., not preventing them)?

Generally ads on web pages don't bother me. So I don't feel strongly to use ad-blocking software to prevent any or all kinds of ads. But I do mind ads that float on web pages because they often block the view.
Although some floating ads allow the user to close them, more pop-ups, or other types of nuisance, may appear after they are closed.
So, Is there any easy way (an add-on, perhaps) to remove the floating ads after they appear, and prevent them from generating more ads or showing themselves again when the page is reloaded?
Maybe something like "CTRL + Alt + left click" applied on the floating ads?
I don't want to disable scripts and Flash.

There are add-ons that do this, but they haven't been updated in a long time, so they might have problems.

I'd sooner recommend Adblock Plus, used as follows:
# Install Adblock Plus.

# Click the Adblock Plus toolbar icon and choose Filter Preferences.
# On the Filter Subscriptions tab, right-click each subscription and choose Delete. Now Adblock Plus isn't blocking anything.
# Install Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus.

# Now when you want to hide something on a web page, click the Adblock Plus toolbar icon and choose "Select an element to hide".
# If the web page preview looks acceptable, click the Add Element Hiding Rule button. For advanced usage, see the following pages.

  • Any easy way to remove files copied to second drive on import that were later deleted from catalog?

    If I do an import from my memory card, choose my external hard drive as a second location for the import, and then go into my catalog and delete the bad photos, is there any quick way to also remove those files from the backup on the external hard drive? I've got a ton of wasted space on my external HD due to things that I've deleted and don't know of any simple way to get rid of them short of formatting the drive and doing another export, which takes a long time and isn't something I want to do all that often. Thanks for your help.

    I'm afraid there is no easy way to do that. The problem is that in using the "make second copy" option as your prime image backup, you're not using the function in quite the way the developers intended. Their purpose was to provide a method to take an immediate extra copy of the contents of the memory card, thus allowing you you reuse that memory card before your "regular" backup routine has been run. So yes, they have assumed that you would have a separate backup procedure for your image files, which allows for two things:
    1. That separate backup process could use an incremental backup utility, which means after the very first run all subsequent runs would backup only new or changed files....and you could also set it to delete from the backup any files you cull from the Lightroom library. Thus your backup wouldn't take up any more space than your originals.
    2. Once you've run the backup utility (after first cull so the duds never even get backed up?), the "second copy" can be deleted at your leisure.

  • Any Easy Way to pass initial parameters to a VI created with New VI?

    In LabVIEW 2010 I can use OpenG's New VI function to create and launch a VI that is built from a template.
    Is there any easy way to pass initial parameters from the VI that creates the New VI to the New VI that will be available as soon as the New VI starts?

    Check out the Control Value Set invoke node. I personally don't like this node, and tst has got a great suggestion to promote cleaner, less fragile syntax for launching VI's dynamically that require input parameters.

  • Any easy way to tell if Optional VI connection is connected?

    If a connection to a VI is Optional, is than any easy way to tell if an connection is made by the calling function or if it is disconnected?
    Thanks.

    This question has been asked and answered many times on the forums. The quick answer is "no", whereas "sentinel" value detection may be sufficient for meeting your specs/requirements.

    At this risk of being appearing obtuse and insensitive, I would recommend you perform a comprehensive forum and LabVIEW Help search prior to posting. You're becoming a forum regular, and I would recommend that as you learn from the LabVIEW experts, likewise you attempt to answer questions of forum beginners. Answering other's questions sharpens your skills even more than having your own questions questions answered! Give and take, you know? Thanks! -Jack

  • Easy way to remove a keyword from select images

    Is there an easy way to remove a keyword?
    I want to remove a single keyword from nearly 100 images that have multiple keywords. The single keyword I want to remove exists in other images that I don't want it removed from.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Create a keyword button set and then either use the menu option to remove that keyword or the shortcut key.

  • Is there an easy way to remove duplicates in my library?

    Hi there, since I first started using my ipod, I've had a new laptop. Having finally figured out (with your help!) how to move the songs from my ipod to the library on my new laptop, I did the transfer but it's duplicated loads of the tracks.
    Is there an easy way to remove them/stop that from happening?
    Any suggestions? Ta Legs xxx

  • Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Easy way to remove?

    Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Is there an easy way to remove them?
    It's a royal ache going through each one, clicking to see if it will play, getting a 'cannot locate the file' message, delete, etc etc.
    Showing duplicates just shows I have a lot to tidy up.
    <Edited By Host>

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Captivate 6 vid to Premiere Pro CS6 - any easy way?

    Hi gang!
    I just upgraded my eLearning Suite 2.5 to 6.  I just don't see any easy way to transfer a video screen capture demo within Captivate 6 into Premiere Pro.   Am I missing something?
    I can't find even an AVI export.  
    What's the best way to take a simple 30 second screen capture "demo" from Captivate 6 into Pre Pro 6 and keep the current screen capture quality?
    Thanks in advance!
    Petey

    You can download a fully functional demo of Sony Vegas 12 Pro.  That's what I did.  So far I like it and will be making the switch to Sony Vegas 12 Pro.
    They also have Suite version which include HitFilm 2 Ulimate.  This program is like After Effects.  I haven't started playing with that yet.
    Also, there is Movie Studio 12 Platinum Visual Effects Suite 2.  That's a mouth full.  Anyhow, it is based on Sony Vegas 12 and it comes with HitFilm 2 Express.  The Express version is a stripped down version of HitFilm 2 Ulimate.  The Express version is still a great program for adding effects.  For some people Movie Studio 12 is all they will need,
    Both version, Vegas and Movie Studio, have GPU acceleration which is really nice. 
    I also just picked up Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate.  It sells for $69.95 and it can open and save .PSD files.  So I don't have to worry about all of the .PSD files I saved in Photoshop
    Right now I have CS5 and CS6.  Premiere CS6 has a lot of bug, the AVCHD spanning clips, slow motion that jitters, caching problem, slower exports, etc.

  • Is there any easy way to compare LIKE Addresses from one table, which contains 3rd party data, to another table, our database source

    We have a 3rd party that is supplying us data and we need to compare the addressing between the 3rd party data to our source database addressing. I'd like to make it somewhat flexible meaning I'd like to somehow use the LIKE comparison rather than comparing
    the exact address values. (I have noticed that the 3rd party addressing sometime has a leading <space> at the beginning of the address...why I'd prefer to use LIKE)
    Is there any easy way to do this? Or does this dictate using a CURSOR and processing through the CURSOR of 3rd party data and plugging in the address LIKE as dynamic SQL?
    Please let me know your thoughts on this and I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    Yes, it's possible and there are a variety of options but it's may not be for the faint of heart.
    The last time I did it, I ended up taking several passes at the data.
    1st pass was a straight up comparison with no modifications or functions.
    2nd pass was the same but with all special characters removed.
    3rd pass involved splitting the numeric portion of address and comparing just the street numbers and used a double meta-phone function (kind of like a soundex on steroids) to compare the street names.

  • Accidentally overwrote all album artwork - any easy way to restore???

    I accidentally reset all of my itunes songs album art to a single album image. Aargh! Needless to say, big mistake. Is there any easy way to recover the original art, or is it gone forever??
    Laura.

    How did you do that? You might try Fetch Art. From the Read Me:HOW TO USE IT:
    In iTunes, select one or more songs, or select a playlist, then choose "Fetch Art" from the iTunes Script menu. The Fetch Art application will start, and attempt to download art for the songs you chose. After art downloading has finished, select one or more of the songs to see what art was found. If you are happy with the art that was found, hit Return to copy the art to iTunes.
    You can also copy art to iTunes for every song in the list by choosing "Fetch Art" > "Copy All Art to iTunes," or by hitting command-T. This may take awhile if there are many songs in the list.

    Install NTFS 3G

    If you were going to be reading and writing to a NTFS System Partition, you might have to worry about the instability messing up the operating system.  However, you are reading/writing from a non system, backup device so you don't have to worry about screwing up an operating system.
    I would still temporarily move my data to another device and reformat the drive for Mac OS X Extended.

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
    iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Any easier way to set due dates?

    By and large, I'm pretty happy with the functionality of iCal, even if it's a bit basic. But setting due dates on to dos and events is very frustrating!
    Let's say you add a new to do, then click the due date box. Today's date is filled in, say, 26/08/2007 in my part of the world. I want to schedule the to do for next month. To change it you click on the day part, enter a number (say, 08), then tab or click on the month part. At this time the iCal display jumps to 08/08/2007 (in the past!). Now I get to manually type in the new month, 9, and press Return or tab and things are good again. It's all kind of long-winded and messy. What's sorely needed is a drop-down calendar picker, or the ability to click on the existing calendar at the left to pick a date.
    Does anyone know of any easier way to enter due dates? I've even looked for external programs that handle to do functionality, but can't find any that automatically sync changes to iCal for syncing to my Palm Treo. Anyone know if iCal in Leopard is any better in this regard?
    Thanks in advance!

    I couldn't agree more. I can't believe that this has escaped Apple for so long, and didn't even make it into Leopard. Let's say its the middle of November and I want to schedule a to-do due date for the end of the week, say Friday, second week of December. I do this all the time. Sorry, but I can't do the math this quickly, so I need to open up a calendar, or scroll down the calendar, then enter the exact date manually.
    Just give me a quick pop-up. Travel web sites do this. Now Up To Date in 1992 had drop down calendars. So does Entourage, which is what I use ONLY because of this one glaring pain. Entering due dates, reminders, etc, is just a pain in iCal, and even worse now in Mail.

    Depends upon what you mean by 'it failed'. If it's that you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then no, you will have to contact them (the 48 hours should be the maximum time that it takes for them to reply).
