Frankly, I wanted more. I didn't just want ads to disappear; I wanted to savor the kill. Enter PopUp Killer from xfX JumpStart. Another free download (from software.xfx.net) this PC-only program works on Navigator, Internet Explorer and MSN Explorer browsers.

The book, deceptively simple and never preachy, is studded with...
...might be a little dangerous to suggest that every American politician should have a massacre in his or her background. The massacre in Phoolan Devi's past had the savor of rough justice in it - of victim's revenge. In the case of former Senator and former Navy Seal Bob Kerrey and that dark, problematic night in Viet Nam, we have seen that past massacre cannot play, politically or aesthetically, unless there is a perception of justice...
