Mozilla Firebird Tips and Tricks
I use Mozilla Firebird as my web browser for both my Debian Linux and Windows XP boxes at work and home. The browser is clean, slick, effecient, and has lots of nice features like pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing (essential once you are introduced to it), etc.
It turns out that Mozilla Firebird is highly tweakable as well. The Mozilla Firebird: Tips and Tricks page details some of the more esoteric tricks to make Firebird more to your liking. As an example, you can block most ads from appearing in web pages you visit, use the download sidebar instead of a progress window, and more. Check it out if you are a Firebird afficianado!

WWII Archive Photos Go Online
More than five million aerial reconnaissance photos taked by the RAF during World War II are now available on the internet. It appears as if the archive site is experiencing extremely heavy traffic right now, so your best bet is to read the BBC news story about the site, which includes six sample pictures from the archive. Hopefully, the archive site will see reduced traffic in the near future so that we may get a glimpse of "history as it happened".
