Slashdot Mirror

I saw a link to this in a Slashdot thread a few days ago

http://www.ghostzilla.com/ghostzilla-cd/index.html

Runs from a CD without installation, keeps setting and history hidden and encrypted, and coolest of all: It runs your browser inside any part of an application you're working with. If you move your mouse away from that window, the browser dissappears and your regular work returns.

"Chameleo-browser" - A new plugin for firefox which will allow porn pages, when seen from a distance to blend in with spreadsheets and become unnoticable.

I'd like to know is why no one has written a Ghostzilla extension for Firefox. That is, something that makes Firefox do what Ghostzilla does, except without the bugs and old rendering engine and separate installation and stuff.

Please? Someone?

grab Ghostzilla if you need discretion.

Do you mean GhostZilla?

Not that I've ever used it of course.

GhostZilla is your friend. I also recommend a secure anonymous proxy (your own, or a hosted one) to prevent your boss from sniffing what you're surfing.

and probably will be your best friend Ghostzilla it is such a noble browser.

for in-class use you might wanna try ghostzilla. We switched to it in my high school computer programming class (a joke, I wanted to vomit when I saw the teachers code formatting.) and not a single person was ever caught using it.

It will do cool things like open inside existing windows in greyscale with images only shown on mouseover, and it will disappear when you mouse leaves its area on to come back with a flick of the wrist. If you don't need precautions that serious, it has lesser settings of paranoia.

You have not heard about ghostzilla. ;-) It will revolutionize your stealth pr0n viewing, taking it to a whole new level.

Try Ghostzilla. Makes it almost impossible to tell when you're surfing.

See, that is why projects like ghostzilla exist.

Well after a while I went back to take another look at Ghostzilla, and guess what?

The account has been suspended by the ISP, presumably for data transfer limits or simultaneous connection limits being exceeded.

Now, everybody jokes about the /. effect, but is some cases it could turn out not to be too funny, especially if somebody is relying on a site for financial/emotional/whatever support. I don't know what can be done about it, as it is rather like the tragedy of the commons: everybody will rush to be there first, and bang goes the resource. I was going to post a screenshot, but I am afraid of my site being slashdotted...

Anyway, is there such a thing as a secodary /. effect? Now that the site has been suspended, will people go to it by clicking here and create furhter problems for the ISP?
