Seriously, I'd say this is in the By Design bucket. For the security conscious - set a BIOS password. If the (feds/aliens/wife/others) remove the password, all access to the data is gone.
Brilliant! Secure!
Mind you, not being able to change my password once every other day might hinder my current security model.
I've used EtherPad to collaborate on text - it's great for fine tuning wording. The larger the file, the less likely you are to be in the same place at the same time tho - and your students might not need to have as immediate an interaction.
The server in the Nine-Ball distribution could be any with an active exploit against it - an "infected" server is just one serving up pages with an iframe to the exploit site, so that site visitors would end up being attacked. Since any web server on any OS can serve up HTML...
Have they then removed the ISK component of prices in the LP stores?
Not that I disagree with the basic premise that no isk is directly destroyed when a ship goes boom - but a ship going boom does enable a certain amount of ISK sink, if faction loot is involved.
"Affected" is correct in the text provided by MyLongNickName, so the statement by Tiny1877 is at least partially correct.
Tiny1877 is also correct for general usage - when you visited the dictionary, you would have found the first few entries of "Affect" treating it as a verb, whereas the first few entries of "Effect" would have referenced usage as a noun.
Oh, maybe I should have thrown in a sensational start to this post, to increase my chance of being noticed...
There are some Adblock Plus users who just don't want to see any ads at all. For those, there should be a way to opt-out of this feature
The real goal of the feature is to provide a way for webmasters to trigger interaction with the ABP user that is not some circuitous hack in order to say "Hey, please whitelist my site!"
Except that, if you read the proposal, you'll notice this section:
Adblock Plus will then check the browsing history to see whether the user frequents this site (this could be specified for example as âoevisited the site on three days of the last weekâ) and then display a notification
So you'd only get annoyed once on the sites you revisit.
AKA yet something else tracking my surfing habits? WEEEE! Call me paranoid, but I'll not upgrade or wait for a fork
Yep, believe it or not, your browsing history stores your browsing history.
at worst this will mean a little bar shows up in the browser the first time they visit a site.
Minor clarification - the proposed implementation does a quick check of recent browsing activity and only triggers the prompt if the site has been recently visited a few times. IE, it's goal is to provide an opportunity for webmasters to connect with repeat visitors.
I don't understand why it wouldn't be simpler to just have someone do the sorting for those "ad-server lists".
Filter lists are maintained outside of Adblock Plus - and functionality has been put in place to support these contributors (subscriptions, auto-prompt for subscription, so forth). They're part of the ABP infrastructure, but they're ABP.
Plus, sorting the lists would require that someone else make judgment calls on what was annoying and what wasn't. Whereas in this method, the web user gets to make up their own mind. Or, from the other side - there's still a clear mandate to filter maintainers (block all ads), instead of a muddy one (block all annoying ads) which would likely result in lots of hatemail.

Nope - they're providing additional functionality to webmasters, so that they can go and say "Hey ABP user, you've been here a couple times, please consider allowing the ads to be displayed here"
At first read, I seriously thought you were making up half this stuff. But I wandered over to Wikipedia... Either you edited the stuff over there, too, or this is, in fact, real.
I'm going with the latter understanding. Kudos on your big brain!
I've not owned a commuter car for the last 10 years. In that time I've biked, walked, and taken public transit to work, depending on the city, job, and distance. Currently, my commute is by bus, which runs at 15 minute intervals at peak and at 30 minute intervals off peak.
Throughout this time I've selected my residence based on public transit and other service availability. It just becomes another attribute to house/apartment selection. "Must have garage" becomes "Must have grocery store within 5 blocks".
Yes, if you choose to live away from public transit, there'll still be a cost of car ownership to get to the station. But if you choose to live close to the transit (just like a car owner generally chooses to live near roads), this is not so much an issue.
I think that the mindset of "transportation services must come to me" needs to be updated on a societal level. However, until the rest of you catch up, I'll be taking advantage of my lower monetary cost, lower stress lifestyle.
A man shop lifted a bunch of clothes from a department store, on is way out he stopped at the front desk to fill out a job application.
Both the text shop lifted and on is way out indicate that he left the store. IE, if I go into a department store, pick up a bunch of clothes, fill out an application, then put the clothes back on the shelf, I will not have shoplifted.
Additionally, the text putting away is slightly more likely to indicate "to put in a new location" rather than "to return to the original location", and had just walked out with fairly strongly indicates that he has left the store.
I disagree that the original post lacked enough information to generate a rational understanding of the situation. I agree that it could have been more clearly related, to reduce the onus on the reader to understand complete context.
The practice of creating specific filters for web sites bypassing the more generic filters is long standing in Adblock Plus subscription history.
One of the more colorful incidents was DannyCarlton (one more), and a quick perusal through both the ABP and EasyList forums shows that site-specific filters are a fairly common practice - especially when site owners try to detect or circumvent ad blocking.
In this case, there was user requests for ad blocking on the noscript.com page, as documented in this late-March thread that resulted in a bug detection - which would have resulted in additional observation of the noscript.com page.
Personally, I think that the only thing Ares2 could have done better would have been to publicly document the ways that noscript.com was circumventing ad display. This usually isn't necessary, but would have been handy.

I feel your pain. Tor is handy, but is far from 'the Silver Bullet' it is claimed to be.
Personally, I thought that Coors Light was 'the Silver Bullet'.
Only that in EVE no gear is sold by NPC.

Who else would be at the forefront of inflatable technologies?
Oh, now *that* is funny. My comment about the articles redundancy is modded down for being redundant.
Isn't this pretty much a rehash of this one? I mean, a bit of a different angle, but come on.
Maybe spring is in the air and everyone is looking to control their, y'know, urges.
Did they have a "If the fridge is unplugged, plug it back in" clause?

Imagine MS put in ad blocking in a release of IE

Why are suffixes so enduring? How can this be?
Because they always end up being the default. Because they have the final say / last word. Because they are enduring.
OK, prolly could come up with more, but I don't think it's really worth it.

Wowzers. People were complaining about being sick on the internets before they went to the hospital? Someone call Ron Paul.
