I came up with the idea a long time ago: someone should create a separate blocklist for "annoying ads" only. I'd make it, but I have other projects already running, some of them pretty time-consuming. If this "annoying ads only" list became as well-known as EasyList, it would actually put selection pressure on advertisers to tone down the ads!
It's because those of us who can type quickly have lots of experience in environments where it is essential to get your meaning across both correctly and as quickly as possible. It's difficult trying to get a point across when everyone else is on voice chat and you don't have a microphone, especially at a typing speed of 30wpm!
Grandparent post (not me) wants to mark some cookies as "Trusted" (for instance, because they keep specific sessions open that -must- be kept open for one or another purpose), and then delete the rest regularly on exit. Yeah, I'd like that too. On the other hand, I'm not good enough at programming to come close to implementing such myself, so I can study for another two years, or I can ask for help.
I have a similar traffic profile, from SBC (it's a business line, don't they try to treat their business customers better? o_O). Cf. http://i50.tinypic.com/2itit86.png
I suspect this is as much due to Crappy Router than Crappy Line. Can you replace your box and see what happens, first, before jumping on your provider?
Nope, they're using this issue (one among many, really) to get people to Upgrade(tm). (Can't use that cool new drive you bought? Sorry sucker, go upgrade to Windows UltraVista9 for just $599 a pop!) I'm sure you understand what I mean.
The barista grapevine tells me that you've been watching stuff weirder than Taylor Swift, dude. If you're going to stream American Idol, at least put the sound through headphones so as not to subject the rest of us to it!
I am a girl. Being on call all day and all night / programming until mentally exhausted / etc. is not something I am willing to do. So yeah, I'm going into teaching. EVEN THOUGH I AM A GEEK. Thanks for telling me what the working conditions were in the field, Slashdot - you made the decision that much simpler.
No. Some parents had their kids vaccinated, their kids started showing symptoms of autism, parents assume correlation=causation. Simple really. And complete BS.

By that logic, your post is illegal, too.

No, that would be the no-fry list.
Start all subsequent instances, preferably with different profiles, with the --no-remote switch.
Firefox. XUL. Remind me why this doesn't work, again?
You can get one now. It's called a spouse. If you already have a spouse, consult the manual for programming instructions.
I love my mouse gestures, too!
(There are loads of mouse gesture addons that one can find with a simple search. I just like this particular one better.)
Nobody's mentioned Desktop Tower Defense?
John Taylor Gatto has speeches and books peppered all over the Internet. Look his stuff up. I think that's what you're looking for.
Set a pitchfork on fire so it's also a torch! See, angry mobs can now be twice as efficient!

"Gordon is on the way. Keep it safe from her. Help is coming."

In terrorism, they die all in one place and make a really good news story to whip up the public with.
No, you are a grammar nazi. Just not a spelling nazi.
Don't worry, lots of us here fail the Turing test. Doesn't mean we're not human. :P
Use a toolkit, like Qt. Problem solved.

'Cause public transportation in the US is near to nonexistent, so they would lose their jobs if they lost their cars.
