      'Twas the night before Christmas
      And all through the lab
      Not a keyboard was clicking
      --No Pr0n being grabbed

      I was browsing the web
      With MS's IE,
      When X10 ad popups
      I began to see.

      I went to uninstall
      But nowhere was IE
      It Seems Mr. Gates
      Had made that choice for me.

      I went to mozilla.org
      And found the builds new
      And what did I see?
      Mozilla 1.2!

      I downloaded the file
      Just as fast as could be
      Thank you Mozilla,
      No more popups for me!

    We used to make this all the time: Heat up some Dr. P, add a couple of whole cloves & a little lemon juice, and viola! Instant Geek Holiday Cider. Quite tasty.

    The net is a wonderful thing ... found this here (emphasis mine):

    Mr. PiBB and Pibb Xtra are not available in cans and bottles everywhere. There are many areas in the US where PiBB is not bottled by Coca-Cola bottling plants. Due to lack of capable facilities, the Dr Pepper Company leases the right to bottle Dr Pepper in a particular market to the highest bidder--either Coke, Pepsi or 7up. In some markets, Coke bids highest for the chance to bottle Dr Pepper (a very lucrative business) and in others, Pepsi or 7up gets the contract. In these areas where Dr Pepper is found in Pepsi or 7up vending machines, Coke will offer its own creation -- PiBB -- in response. In regions where Coke bottles Dr Pepper, PiBB is not produced. The bottling agreement with Dr Pepper comes with a "no competition" clause which states that Coke cannot produce their spicy cherry soda.
