“A view of that name cannot be found in the specified database”
Well, gosh, thanks. Why not just go the whole way and say “Non-specific badness has occurred”?

We are in need of a new word. A word to describe a particular experience.
For there is a particular experience which currently lacks a word to describe it.
I speak, of course, of the experience of clearing one's throat, the action of which dislodges a fragment of hot peri-peri spiced chicken, which subsequently flies up into the nasal passages, opening the mind to entirely new worlds of discomfort.
I believe that I can state with confidence that there is currently no word in existence to describe this experience. I firmly believe that there ought to be one.
Ads. There is a tension in “web land” between the necessity of ads to fund the web sites we enjoy reading, and the tendency of advertisers to annoy the hell out of us by getting in the way of the stuff we're actually trying to read.
In Firefox we have the lovely Adblock extension, an easy-to-use tool to help us deal with this issue. Of course, none of us want our favourite sites to wither and die because all of their ad revenue dries up, and on that basis I have compiled the following set of handy hints for web site owners.
Apart from this, as long as there appears to be more content than ads on the page I'm reading, and there are no headache-inducing animations, the rest will probably remain unblocked.
I might even click on one some time.
