Hm.

Is it just me... or does anyone else find having this banner avert at at the top of this story funny, and a little bit creepy:

http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/imgad?id=CIqXw4GjrIii8AEQ2AUYWjIIoKOt3JbQ7Ds

It links here if you're interested:

http://www.omniperception.com/cpsform/?gclid=CK_p8caBgqoCFc0P3wodWC5OzA

So I look up at the top of the summary and see this.

http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/imgad?id=CNyWgqXE0MyoxQEQ2AUYWjIIwoZhlNY3qIk

Is google ads also doing april fools? Check out the banner I got with this story: screen shot

The ad was linking to: this

Opt out of major advertising networks: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp Opt out of doubleclick/google ads: http://optout.doubleclick.net/cgi-bin/optoutgoogle.pl

So far, I've got:

http://track.pubmatic.com/* http://m1.2mdn.net/* http://view.atdmt.com/* http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/* http://content.yieldmanager.edgesuite.net/* http://cdn5.tribalfusion.com/media/* http://online-pro-antivirus-scan.com/*

The last one is the most obnoxious. It's a full animated windows file explorer showing a fake virus scan (positive of course). It's kinda funny to watch it on a Linux machine though but it's a bit difficult to get it to close and stay closed.

It appears like something out of Twilight Zone -

You can check this by clicking on Adblock in Firefox.

I do wonder if this allows doubleclick.net to see past "anonymous coward" postings.

Maybe he believes that their copious watermarking is adequate.

No, that's crap.

Firefox does not block popups generated by Windows. It only blocks popups generated by websites, and even then, it's not really *blocking* them, it's just refusing to run that bit of code.

Website: "Please open a new window, size 400x320, and load http://www.doubleclick.net/advertisement.gif in it."
Firefox: "No. Bugger off."

Unless the popups are coming from the Firefox browser itself (which they won't be, in this patent... it says "OS level"), then Firefox will not be infringing.

Got a popup on SLASHDOT of all sites. Opera said it came from this tab, too.

Here's what popped up:

Parts of this planet we live on don't even have access to a broadband Internet connection, and now they want to plug Mars on the network? Talk about priorities...

Have you considered the reason why some countries are fantastically wealthy, safe, and comfortable, while their next-door neighbors wallow in hungry squalor? Never mind the flukes -- can you see an overall pattern?

Hint: it's all about the social pattern established there. Some patterns create better incentives than others. By now, only a fool or a liar can fail to see the benefit of market-driven economies (even allowing for their frequent ugly hiccups).

NASA, as a facility for transferring federal money to specific congressional districts, is committed to the wrong sort of social pattern. After all, its very survival requires it to support any pork-barrel scheme that benefits it... or at least, to remain mute on a subject that no one should remain mute on. And so NASA cannot seriously advocate for free-market social patterns, as would be needed to bring broadband to the masses you quietly scream your love for.

In fact it was only last year that NASA offically reversed its policy of criticizing private space ventures. The times, they're a changin' for the better.

Spam is another thing entirely. Some spam is advertisements, but when I look in my GMail spam folder half the crap I get doesn't make any sense at all. Looking at some of this, I don't even know what it's trying to tell me or advertise for.

Lumping advertisements (TV, Web, Radio, billboards, etc) with spam (e-mail) is silly. If you're blocking advertisements that come with a service you're using, you're affecting the income generated by the service your using. If you're blocking spam, you're avoiding completely senseless, unsolicited, unwanted junk that you have not done anything to receive.

For example, I never will visit ad.doubleclick.net

Hey Slashdot, what's up, man! Dude, I read your thing and like totally agree about Best Work Proving Spam Site Work! Dude, that's awesome!

Bro, in the same vein, I was totally checking out this dope ass site which you might wanna check out too man. Guys like us that dig Spam Which Proving and Best work Filters will be all over this before long...

OK, man take care until I see you this Friday at the dinner thing, Slashdot!

Cheers,
John

How do you propose that websites detect the use of an adblocker? (Without seriously degrading the user experience)

Easy, turn your content into flat image files and host them http://doubleclick.net/ so that *.doublick.net/* ad block wild cards will block out the desired content. Err... Well... As long as you don't think that having to read pages of jpegs to be a dragrading experience.

Here.

Right on. I always install Adblock with Firefox or Mozilla. I haven't seen a pop-up or flash advertisement for months. They all seem to come from a few advertisers. Here is my adblock list:

I did that but it removes all the cr/lfs from the file. But what do you know it works fine here. Some of mine are redundant but it seems two work pretty well for me. YMMV

I loaded up this article and what do I see?
This ad from Microsoft staring back at me.

WHAT ARE ADS DOING IN THE FRESHMEAT LINKS!!?!?!

I'm not usually one to complain loudly, having gotten used to having to use all the latest tools to avoid the commercialisation of the internet. But seriously. What the F*ck! I saw the following link in slashdot's Freshmeat sidebar, titled 'ADV: Gimme Shelter':

[http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;11713776;10469304 ;d ?http://infoworld.com/spotlights/sbc/main.html?lpi d0101035400730402idlp]

This is disgusting. I expect sidebars titled with a well-known domain to be -actually pointing to links on that domain-, not TROJANED with ads.

Someone on the /. editors panel explain this, pronto. What sleazy new low is this?

http://optout.doubleclick.net/cgi-bin/dclk/optout. pl

bam, an easy way to opt out of doubleclick tracking. its essentially id=OPT_OUT and nothing more.

A search for nuclear bomb produces an eBay ad:

Hmmm... and when I went to eBay I got this lovely ad. Kinda scary isn't it?

"Besides the likely efficacy questions, concerns in the scientific community concern what impact this will have on our foreign collaborations (or even grad students)."

My two cents: This PIV system is going worldwide. People will have to deal with it whether they are ready or not.

The graphic http://m2.doubleclick.net/908910/cbd_336x280.gif with the main topic, brought to mind some things I heard, about a False Prophet, a Beast, and the Antichrist. I know sounds like the start to some bad joke but it's true, it did remind me.

In the Apocalypse prophecy "everyone" is required to recieve a marked number on their right hand or forehead. Some don't, though. The most immeadiate consequence to them is death like those in Fallujah, or maybe they can't buy or sell...

Those are just a couple of the consequences for citizens to not conforming to the system. I admit a worst case senario. However If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will. Already we see the problems: What benefit is there for a criminal/terrorist who wants to off himself/someone and get away with whatever? like you I think none.

Like another previous poster pointed out there is a critical mass in England of "non-thinkers" who don't percieve or know how the a national PIV system is going to really work against them, and so rush headlong to disaster.

Honestly though, blaming us Americans for something that we have no control over, our "Globalist Masters" lead us too, is not right. Individually or even in small "thinker" numbers there is nothing effective we could do to fight a system on national levels when it comes around for us either. But die I suppose.

I don't want to be PIVed it violates my privacy. :D

i laughed so hard at this picture

Those Microsoft brains must be working really hard... just look at the Slashdot advertisements that are running with this story.

MS's "Get the Facts"
http://m3.doubleclick.net/790463/mrs03111_VeriTest _336x260_25k_v3.gif

Oh the irony!

Maybe that content-based advertising system really does work!

Why has the popular percetpion of the "Gamer" been composed of bratty MTV esque focus group, as seen in this 1up sight, and on the G4 TechTV channel?

For example

Why is Slashdot running this crap from Microsoft?

It's a Microsoft ad that was attached to this story. It claims that Windows 2003 had better performance and beat every configuration of Red Hat. Why does Slashdot run this FUD?

Is that I am free from Microsoft misinformation and I only get insightful, balanced and Linux friendly ads. like this and this
</sarcasm>

Seriously, go with the original energy drink. My favorite coffee shop in town, Comet, sells something called a speedball (same thing as Alterra's redeye...) its a cup of house strong with two shots of espresso in it, that'll wake you up before class. Comet also sells something called a switchblade, which IIRC is a pint of mocha with 4 shots in it, Mmm.

This is Dumb
We try to promote apache and /. betrays us

get the facts from ms man!!

"The root problem that the security industry has is ... unscrupulous people selling to an uninformed market. The managers buying security products don't understand security at all, and so they trust the vendors to tell them what is best," Alder argued. "And somehow, conveniently, what is best has a great overlap with whatever that particular vendor happens to be selling."

...

"[Companies] have the latest and greatest firewall that nobody has ever bothered to configure, or a very expensive intrusion detection system (IDS) that nobody has the understanding to tune."

That's about the most perfect example of what she's talking about anybody could have come up with...

Slashdot advertising for microsoft.... what gives?

Click the MS ad for UNIX services for WINDOWS at the top of the page. Here's the url

Make MS pay for these anti-sco pro-linux stories.

"Small and lightweight for go-anywhere portability.
>travel lighter"

hehe

Orson Wells?

This ad is all over Slashdot today.
