Rather than maintain this fear clock, wouldn't their time be better spent trying to dismantle the potential causes of nuclear war?

How? Ala globalism and forced acceptance via conquering armies?

Example, in Iran, young children are taught that they are divinely created by Allah, whereas 'the evil, bloodthirsty Jews' evolved from monkeys, not unlike early eugenics movements tried to tell us that white people were 'more evolved' than black people.

A bit loaded. Culturally, Iranians and Muslims in general oppose Jewish culture (as well as their geopolitics). They should have a right to establish, within their borders, their own culture as they see fit.

Although those of us with high intelligences do not have to believe in the silly propaganda, the masses, as history tells us, are more comfortable with simple slogans and emotional epithets. Whether it is agreeable to market the Jews as "monkeys" is up for debate, I support Iran's (and anyone else's) right to establish a supreme culture in their homeland and exclude foreign influence or meddling in it.

In regards to white vs. black, that has nothing to do with eugenics. Eugenics was about using artificial selection to select people of the best trait to breed over people who were deemed of lower quality (strong vs. weak, smart vs. dull, and etc). Blacks were almost non-existent in pre-Nazi Germany, Nazi Germany, and immediately after the end of Nazi Germany, if you are trying to make an allusion to the eugenic programs of Nazi Germany.

As far as "more evolved", I beg to differ. The African race is considered the oldest race of Humans. The best theory right now is that a tribe of bushmen headed North in search of food (animals were heading northwards as well, hence the reason). This group fanned out, and as a result of selection processes in the struggle to survive in new environments, different characteristics were selected and became the features of new ethnic groups. a map for your viewing pleasure. As to how you want to view "more evolved", thats up to you. However, it would be unreasonable to ignore the mountains of IQ testing, the differences in culture, and the like when coming to your conclusion. I'm mature enough to acknowledge racial differences, to believe in evolution as applying to humans as well as every other creature, and to not use these bits of knowledge to unfairly treat others. Are you? Or shall you live in ignorance forever?

The people are essentially being infected by a generational hate meme. Find a way to dismantle that, and the threat of war will greatly diminish.(improving the quality of life and getting the leaders to spread the oil income around rather than buying themselves yet another solid gold shitter and blaming America for poverty wouldn't hurt either)
In other words, if they really cared, they'd ditch the clock of AHHHH! and try to generate tolerance rather than fear

Study the issues a little more deeply. The hate that many Islamic cultures hold towards the West is due to the internationalist influence we demand to impose on their cultures and as a result, degrade their values.

While the oil wealth has allowed many of the middle eastern dictators to become degenerate, we perpetuate that degeneracy by constantly meddling in the affairs of these countries and continuing to consume massive quantities of that oil.

You may also notice that Muslims hold very little negative opinion about Africans or Asians. Why is that? Could the lack of hate correlate the attitudes those people's governments hold and actions they engage in towards other countries?

I can only see one good use for this as a method to prevent easy hotlinking/stealing of normal images, as long as it's CSS optimised as a previous post, and the page in TFA itself, mentions.

Or even as a non-image way to render text on a page in fonts that don't exist on the users system, such as is used at http://mardeg.sitesled.com/

oh will someone please thing of the blind!

I haven't seen ads since I installed Adblock Plus with the Filterset.G updater.

*See Wikipedia for an explanation of the competing versions of "Adblock Plus"

Try Ad Block Plus It has a whitelist feature. Also works with filterset.g

AdBlock Plus works properly with 1.5.

NoScript is definitely one of the most useful extensions ever! Have a site that somehow gets pop-ups past you? Well, they work via javascript, so fuck 'em! New security vulnerability due to JS somehow? Fuck 'em again! Ads in general? Fuck 'em, they use JS! Badly coded tag soup websites that depend on JS? Fuck 'em and their incompetent web developers!

I would recommend AdBlock Plus with Filterset G Updater.

Use AdBlock Plus instead. It works on FF 1.5 Beta 2, so I'm sure it'll work on this RC.

Couple Adblock+ with Filterset.G and you'll have yourself a clean browsing experience. I personally maintain my own filters, but by "maintain" I mean "edit every once in a while".

AdBlock Plus

Farkit
Gmail Notifier
Nuke Anything
Plain Text Links
Switch Proxy Tool
Greasemonkey

Adblock Plus doesn't seem to have this problem. I'm using it currently with Filterset.G and Flash works without issue on 1.5 Beta :).

I tried FF 1.5 beta this morning, and Adblock Plus did work.

I don't know about the original adblock, but AdBlock Plus works just fine in the new firefox beta. http://bene.sitesled.com/adblock.htm

Just get Adblock Plus and add a whitelist element after installing.

I've been using whitelisting with [first party] cookies (generally with sites I'm a member of) and javascript (only for sites I use that require it such as gmail). Normally this would be a tedious task, but I have some extensions to help me out when it comes to security in this manner.

Actually, I have probably over 40 extensions installed right now, but those are some of the most useful.

is called Indiefox. It's basically one guy and a guitar. But 'tis so good.
