Slashdot Revenue Denial HOWTO version 0.02

Slashdot provides information. Information has value protected under intellectual property laws. Since Slashdot does not believe in intellectual property, as demonstrated by its support of an organisation which does not believe an author should have any rights on the products of his mind, its editors are implying that Slashdot itself has no value. As such, it should not claim compensation for its services.

So much for the philosophy. How can you fulfil Slashdot's own wishes? The basic aim is to stop views of Slashdot's advertisements, so its sponsors no longer perceive Slashdot as providing worthwhile exposure, and stop sponsoring it.

• If you are using Mozilla, simply right-click the advert at the top of the page, and select "Block images from this server". Do this whenever you see a new advert appear on a Slashdot browser window.
• Or you can add an entry to /etc/hosts under a Unix-based system or C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS under an NT-based system:

  127.0.0.1 images.slashdot.org
  127.0.0.1 images2.slashdot.org
  127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
  127.0.0.1 ln.doubleclick.net
  127.0.0.1 m.doubleclick.net
  127.0.0.1 m2.doubleclick.net

• Looking for a ready-built revenue denial product? On Windows or Unix, you could try AdBuster, AdKiller or Internet Junkbuster. And WWWoffle is a comprehensive caching solution.

Really? Where do you live? It's not possible in Europe... And I have latest firmware (4.84) and many things are still not fixed (not few months), like this!!!

Hi.
My junkbuster-like proxy does this :). It's one of choices :). See here :). It's now almost dead, I had not time to improve it for a year :S.

1. AdBuster [Win32/Linux I think] Filters Ads
2. Intermute [Java for Win32] Filters Ads, Sites, Cookies, Javascript
3. JunkBuster [Win32/Unices] Filters Ads, etc
