/******* Other Suggestions
 * In addition to this greasemonkey script I suggest using Adblock
 * Plus, NoScript, and AutoPager.
 * Adblock Plus:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
 * NoScript:      https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
 * AutoPager:     https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4925
 *
 ****** NoScript settings:
 * I personally enable the NoScript option:
 * General -> Scripts Globally Allowed (dangerous)
 *
 * So besides just installing NoScript, I also have to blacklist the
 * sites I wanted to block.  For this site that includes:
 *     - tomshardware.com
 *     - bestofmedia.com
 *     - kontera.com
 *     - revsci.net
 *     - clickdensity.com
 *     - dl-rms.com
 *     - tacoda.net
 *
 ****** AutoPager settings:
 * URL Pattern:     http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/*
 * Link XPath:      //li[@class='pagin next']/a[contains(text(), 'Next page')]
 * Content XPath:   //div[@class='KonaBody news-elm']
 *
 ****** Adblock Plus settings:
 * I use EasyList, plus the following filter for this site.  Note that you
 * have to remove the "//    " at the beginning of the line:
