Hi LS,
In both examples I would choose ‘of’ butI’m not all that happy about the wording. Remember also ‘ability to’.

Hi, Alan
Thanks for your advice !
Incidentally, did you mean that you would be happier with this wording The ability to dispose of an object is frequently useful ?
PS: I asked this question because I had read this in a book about programming:
Do you think the author of the book is not a native English speaker ?
Hi LS,
What I was really getting at was that (going back to the adjective form) there are two constructions: able to do and capable of doing. As for the English used, to me it has a touch of gobbledegook and sounds very much like the sort of language you get from a translating machine.
