Gator Will Replace Ads On Sites
Bill Dimm writes "This CNet article says that a new version of Gator, a browser plug-in for managing passwords that also can display pop-up ads for competing products when you visit web sites, is being developed that will launch its own ads over top of the banner ads on the sites you visit. The software achieves wide distribution by bundling (much like TopText) with file-sharing utilities, with over 18 million installations of the current version claimed on their web site."
It's times like this I am glad I use a txt browser.
I never have to deal with any of the following:
pop-ups
pop-unders
banners
200k flash pages
java madness
half page ad boxes
And none of that distracting pr0n.
It has its down sides but over all its faster and more efficiant than putting up with all of those things.
Ascii artist &
why the hell does anyone use bullshit bloatware like kde and gnome?!? they are slow gui pieces of shit, designed to be "user friendly". well, this is bullshit, because real unix users don't need user-friendliness! real men use wm2. one thing we don't need are these easier-to-use gui pieces of shit tempting normal people to think they can use unix. if you wanna use unix, RTFM!! this trend of inviting normal people onto the 1337 unix user bandwagon is why i switched from linux to freebsd (running wm2, of course). too many people are using linux today, only because some assholes have made it easier for them. this is stupid, because the only reason to use linux or some other unix is to be 1337 and different. i blame redhat!
This replaces Gator ads with a white GIF, or any other color/picture you want. Still a pop-up, but much less offensive.
A lawsuit has been filed against Gator already. An adult site, a porno company in New York, [caution - porn link!] didn't take too kindly to their banner ads being overwritten. I'm not a big fan of porn, but I hope they win their case.
Except I beta tested Gator, it's buggy as hell. I'm not talking about it screwing up the ads, I'm talking about run-away threads that lock my whole system up. Trust me, it's crap.
No shit - My ISP actually blocks all Gator trafiic so I get 404 every time. My ISP is NC Online, and they have a policy making it clear that they won't support this kind of traffic. I think it's bullshit. Can anyone recommend a course of action for me to take?
Niggers are worthless shits that are always screaming "we demand
equality! We deserve the same rights as whites." BULLSHIT! If you
nappy fucks would ACT EQUAL maybe you would be TREATED EQUAL.
**Nigger Q&A Section** **Nigger Q&A Section**
Q: Why do niggers drive stupid looking cars, wear their clothes
backwards, and walk around with combs stuck in their nappy
pubic-looking hair?
A: Because there is no self-regulation within the nigger race. If I
left my house one day and: had my baggy pants on backwards, gold
chains hanging off my neck, placed one of those STUIPID MOTHER FUCKING
crown air-fresheners on my dashboard, gold rims, white-walls, gold
chain around my license-plate, and decimated the English language by
improperly enunciating everything that came out of my thick-tongued,
big-lipped mouth, I WOULD BE LAUGHED OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET by my
fellow peers. This is because there is self-regulation and bench
marking within the white race. Whites just don't do STUPID SHIT like
that. Niggers on the other hand, walk up to other niggers and say
"whazzup mah, I be fukin' 'roun this moanin' and be puttin' my p-ants
ahn all backwards and sheeit. Whatcha think bitch?" Reply: "AH MAN!
That sheeit be FAT! You go man!" And the rest of the spear chuckers
follow suit.
You know, it's funny how you can JUST LOOK at a nigger's car and tell
that a nigger drives it.
Q: Why did niggers trash their OWN neighborhoods after the Rodney
King verdict?
A: Because only a nigger would do something that stupid. That's like
someone being pissed off at their landlord and breaking the windows
out of their OWN FUCKING apartment. Only to realize that after their
rage is over, "Oh shit, that was MY house!" FUCKING STUPID, PATHETIC
NIGGERS!!
Q: Do you think that niggers will stage an "end of the millennium"
riot?
A: I fucking hope so (as do most white males). It will give whites
the opportunity to go on a blood thirsty, nigger-hunting RAMPAGE where
the stupid black fucks are OUTNUMBERED and KILLED. The sheer numbers
of dead niggers would preclude any detailed police homicide
investigations. How can they investigate a mass killing spree of that
magnitude? I would gladly pick off niggers with a 30-30 like I do
flies in my kitchen, and then retreat back to my home only to be
protected by the sheer numbers of their deaths. Go ahead you nigger
fucks, BRING IT ON. We'll exterminate 75% of your current nigger
population. And when it's all over, you will have done us whites a
favor by the subsequent reduction in taxes and crime.
Q: Why are niggers always so angry at whites?
A: Because deep down they know that they are inferior to the white
race and have NO HOPE of being as intelligent as whites. I would be
jealous too! Just wait and see how they react to this post...
Q: Is it the black color that makes you hate niggers?
A: No. I could care less if someone is pink, purple, red, green, or
from Mars. As long as they act like an intelligent being, conform to
the set standards of society, and make an effort to help advance the
human race, instead of burdening society, depending on handouts,
pillaging, stealing, and smoking crack. However, it is nice that
niggers do contrast so well with whites in their color. It makes them
easy to distinguish from other intelligent races, and easier to aim my
rifle at!
Q: What is your theory on the origins of the black and white race?
A: Being the atheist scientific type I most certainly adopt the
evolutionary model of life. Seeing that the entire human race (yes,
goddammit, niggers ARE human) originated from monkeys (look it up,
it's scientific FACT, genetically we share approximately 94% of the
exact same genetic structure as chimpanzees) whites are basically
advanced niggers. Shit, I know that's hard for whites to accept, but
be patient with me. See, scientists have always been puzzled by the
fact that there is very little evidence for an intermediate species
between man and ape (missing link). I give you niggers!
Apes -> Niggers -> Whites
One day a nigger, by accident, realized that by getting out of the
sun, he stayed much cooler and didn't die of skin cancer. This nigger
learned (??) to build shelter, make clothing, and continued the
tradition of staying in the shade while his family and all their
future generations followed this style of living. However, the other
stupid-ass niggers thought this was stupid/funny/whatever and
continued their ignorant existence in the hot sun. Meanwhile
generation after generation, the pseudo-niggers that lived in the
shade began losing their shit color since they didn't need protection
from the sun. Alas! Here come the whites. Being much more
comfortable, living longer, and learning to save energy, they had more
time to spend learning to make tools and inventing new ideas for doing
things. Eventually the now pale nigger physically migrated far from
the pure niggers and the white race was born. A branch in the tree of
evolution.
Ok, bear with me fellow white-men: you are going to argue that "there
is no way that whites came from niggers." Well, whether you believe
in god or not, it is a sad fact that niggers are human. It's just
that they are STUPID humans. We MUST have had a common origin since
we do share most of the same physical characteristics. Whether we all
came from Adam & Eve, a puff of smoke from an almighty god, or
evolution from amino acids in the sea, if you go back in time far
enough you will come to a point where we are all the same. My theory
holds true ESPECIALLY if you believe in god and hold the bible as pure
truth because "in the beginning" there were only TWO people: Adam &
Eve. There is NOTHING in the bible that says anything about Tyrone &
Mofreeka who were niggers. So, bible thumpers don't argue against my
"hell bound ways" because I'm an atheist. The wholly babble STRONGLY
suggests that we ALL share a common ancestry and whites therefore come
from niggers.
Now, niggers are pissed with this theory, and rightfully so because
they realize "woah, this shit makes sense." They will become angry
and will want to violently deny the fact that whites ARE SUPERIOR and
that present day niggers will NEVER achieve the level of intelligence
that whites have attained. Yes, at ONE TIME we were equal, we were
all NIGGERS, but a lot has changed.
Just look at africa. The fucking place is in ruins. It is most
likely the geographical origins of life as we know it. It is the
mother of all living things. Niggers still inhabit this ancient
place, but it is still a fucking MUD-HOLE. Look at the USA! In less
than 100 years we (whites) have developed skyscrapers, bridges,
automobiles, computers, CD players, microwave ovens, radios,
computers, the internet, sanitary sewers, agriculture, running water,
on and on, etc., etc.
What have niggers done? Look at that gray box that sits in the corner
of your living room and see what they have done:
Africa: The oldest place on the planet, inhabited by niggers, and
STILL a fucking shit-hole!
USA: Niggers have followed white man around like fucking
cockroaches and built their shit nests in the cracks and
corners of white society to breed like maggots so that they
can continue to suck off the nipple of the "gubament."
Shit, I feel better now. Stay tuned for more enlightenment...
On niggers:
"You can only vanilla coat a turd so deep."
"Sure, you can put perfume on a turd. But it's still a piece of shit"
"You can't polish a turd"
"We must secure the existence of our white children...KKK Nation"
First Jesus! Bitches!
Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be easier to simply not visit sites that have ads? Since you are breaking the implicit contract of getting the content in exchange for viewing ads, you are basically stealing content from the site.
I have to admit I find it really offensive when people look for a free ride.
If you really dislike ads that much, and if you have any ethics at all, then don't visit sites with ads rather than block them.
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
