  1. javascript and other tracking on Google Chrome Starts Testing a Built-in Ad Blocker on Windows, Android (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 1

    You want me to run $script from [adserver] when I visit [contentsite]. Go pound sand. #noscript

    That said, I'd load visible images from [contentsite] that advertise for their clients. I'd probably also load visible images from [adserver], right up to the point the images interfere with the content.

    At least flash crap is less common these days! Or is that #noscript working)

  2. Convenience Fee on Whole Foods: America's Temple of Pseudoscience · · Score: 1

    Sometimes it's the closest grocery to where I am...

    Often the produce is remarkably less gross than other chains.

    The rest of the products are sufficient that it's easier to may their markup than travel elsewhere.

    Finally, Placebo effect, though I don't actually buy from the homeopathy section...

  3. Re:Wait 'til the insurance companies get this ... on The Next Revolution In Medicine: Genome Scans For Everyone · · Score: 1

    The US Congress has already started regulating some of these misuses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrimination_Act

  4. And NASA's budget is what? on Appropriations Bill Threatens Future Space Science Missions · · Score: 1

    With a budget of $18 Billion (so says wikipedia), they can find a way to fit in the $15 Million if they are actually planning an interplanetary mission.

  5. Re:Oh no! on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    It's not that Blizzard makes *great* software, it's that they make fantastic, compelling, immersive game worlds, and give us a simple method of interacting with their game world. Their software is slow and bug riddled, constantly in need of patching. The games are phenomenal, the actual software seems mundane, not bad, just average.

  6. What is wrong with a beige box? on The Quest For Cool Cases Continues · · Score: 2

    I have a biege box. I like my beige box. It will be a sad day in the world when you opressors force me to add color to my perfectly functional computer case. Mange

  7. Re:Whack-A-Mole endid... on The BSA Going After IRC Warez Channels · · Score: 1
    So what, you think they should just give up? Stop trying to find and prosecute these people entirely? Why stop there? You can't possibly catch all murderers, so should we just not try to investigate those either?

    I believe the point is that there are thousands of serial killers stalking the city, and the police are concentrating on jay-walkers. While the small scale criminals still need to be brought to justice, the law enforcement officials need to get their priorities straight. The Mangy Bung strikes again
