Fix: TortoiseHg not commiting files 04 Φεβρουαρίου 15 06:00 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια: It seems that sometimes TortoiseHg Mercurial (Hg) client on Windows fails to remove a 0-byte-sized file named “wlock” (a write lock to avoid simultaneous write to a local repository) in the “.hg” subfolder that holds a local repository.

HowTo: Remove Babylon search from Mozilla Firefox address bar 03 Αυγούστου 12 03:07 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια: Babylon Search is one of the most abusive addons for Mozilla Firefox and other web browsers.
