The Overly Simplistic Guide To Internet Video

Some spammers are now scraping knowledge base websites and reformatting them in order to display adds. If you find them as annoying as I do, you can do the following.
Add a -site:name.com to the google search.
Unfortunately, it has to be done every time you query.

For example, my original search:
groovy ant sshexec outputproperty
My revised search:
groovy ant sshexec outputproperty -site:efreedom.com -site:questionhub.com

There, spam gone. I only see this getting worse though... Google needs to do something about this soon (allowing a more permanent per user blacklist would be nice) to avoid search results becoming less useful. I don't want to see some spammers mashup, I want to see the original site.

A discussion on stackoverflow about the problem.

Quick note on using vnc:

Start the following using the user to login as.
vncserver :1

To kill it:
vncserver -kill :1

Can change :1 to any integer, but only one person can access a given int at a time.

In a vnc client just enter:
host:1
