Of course, the first step is obvious…

Exit Firefox completely.  Close the application, and all firefox windows.

On Mac OS X:

  1. Drag the Firefox application to the Trash.
  2. (optional) Remove the Firefox .plist file, from ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist
  3. (optional) Remove the User data and settings (Bookmarks, extensions, etc) from ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox

On Linux:

  1. Remove the firefox installation directory, which is usually /usr/lib/firefox-<version>

On Windows:

  1. Make sure to close Firefox Completely (Along with any Firefox windows)
  2. For Windows 7 / Vista, open Programs -> Programs & Features, Select Mozilla Firefox <version #>, and click the Uninstall button.
    For Windows Xp (or below), double-click Add or Remove Programs, select Mozilla Firefox <Version #>  in the list of installed programs, and click “Remove” to run the uninstaller.
  3. Delete the Firefox Installation directory, by default, “C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox” or “C:\programs files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox”
  4. (optional) Remove the Firefox temporary data directory:
    Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
    Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox
  5. (optional) Remove:
    Windows 7/Vista: The C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder (if it exists)
  6. (optional) Remove:
    Windows XP and above: Delete all C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\FIREFOX* files
  7. If you installed the Quality Feedback Agent component (aka Talkback) in Firefox 2 or below, open the %APPDATA%\Talkback\MozillaOrg\ folder and delete any “Firefox” folders found (e.g., “Firefox10″ “Firefox15″ and “Firefox2″).

Destroid has 7 minutes of footage from a Senran Kagura…

I  have only watched the first 4 minutes or so…  (Here’s a hint, the first 35 seconds or so is the opening)…

But the game play seems smooth, and there seemed to be plenty of T&A, Cheesecake, fan service, etc…  After all, there were three or four clothing changes in the fight, etc…

So take a look…For real, here’s eight minutes of Senran Kagura gameplay -Destructoid.  And if you know something about the series, leave some information in the comments…

Geez, there is some hate out there for Final Cut Pro X.  Yes, it is a step backwards, but in most aspects it seems like a huge step forward for the package.

Please note, this video has subtitled swearing in it.  If you don’t like that, please don’t view it.

One problem I have always had, is keeping my programming code organized.  I have short demonstration applications, code examples, and more scattered around.  Some of it in Evernote, some of it just in a file in my programming directory…

I have yet to find the right application for the job…

But, I’ll be going through this list soon to see if they meet the need…

Why reinvent the wheel? And by extension, why keep re-typing or copy/pasting commonly-used pieces of code over and over again? Copying and pasting pieces of code into text files and the like is disorganized and wastes your precious time. Instead, you can use code snippets to quickly call code you repeatedly use. There are applications that let you save, organize, and use your code snippets – for practically all of the major programming languages. And this article features 10 free desktop applications for managing your code snippets.

10 Free Desktop Applications for Managing Your Code Snippets.
