  1. Re:Most ISPs can't even block spam.... on Pennsylvania Court Forces ISPs to Block Porn Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they just have a list of sites to block, they'll normally block the hostname, and sometimes the IP.

    So if for some reason PA wanted to block slashdot they'd keep me from using slashdot.org, and possibly 66.35.250.1 (/.'s current IP). However, couldn't I still connect with 0102.043.0372.01 (66.35.250.1 in base 8)?

    Note: if you use slashdot's IP instead of hostname it looks like you're entering the backend. It isn't that way with most sites.

    First of all, gestures do not come with Mozilla builds, and I have yet to see a link, so you can find Mozilla gestures at http://optimoz.mozdev.org/.

    Now, in reply to your comment, use your left mouse button or middle button--it's in the preferences that way. Or add a modifier key so that you have to hit Ctrl while moving the mouse. I personally use my middle mouse key for all sorts of tab functions (http://multizilla.mozdev.org/), autoscrolling (http://autoscroll.mozdev.org/) and for gestures, and have no problem with conflicts.

    I have at least 125-150 bookmarks for Mozilla (not including the ones that came with Mozilla), but they're not organized. All of my bookmarks have keywords associated with them, so I can search the web for *** at anytime with "ggl ***" in the URL bar, or "lucky ***". Then there's "/.", "sf" (sourceforge), "bugz ***" (bugzilla bug #***), "mz" (multizilla.mozdev.org) and the list goes on and on.

    spam spam spam. if spam should be illegal, so should any form of unsolicited communication. that includes conversing to persons without their permission at the local pub.
    If you converse with me at the local pub, it does not cost me any time--I would be at the pub anyway, and unless I found you extremely interesting, I'd still leave at the same time. If you spam me, I have to take the time to determine whether or not the mail is spam (that's every email now, not just the spam) and then delete it if it is. And it costs the person/company running the server for bandwidth.

    Your point sounds ok, but apparently you've never had a problem with spam--perhaps you only allow people from a small list to send you email that isn't bounced.

    Also, by your logic, should the laws keeping people from spamming fax machines be repealed?

    Well, people generally click through agreements on their computers because those agreements seem distant. If they have to sign the agreement, they'll at least think about reading through it before accepting it.

    And if enough people stopped to read through license agreements at check-out lanes stores would start putting a lot of pressure on software vendors.

    Since you were a little low on links, I thought I'd post them, along with some other info:

    There's the UABar, and then MultiZilla also offers this feature, among many other features. However, the MultiZilla team doesn't want to make it too easy to change your user agent as it messes up logs of websites, but you can find out how to include it here. I did have the UABar installed for awhile, but it became redundant with MultiZilla installed.

    Also, if you close your browser session when your User Agent is not at its default setting using the UABar, your default setting is replaced. With MultiZilla, your default is still in an easy to recognize place. Also, if you have Java installed, you will get errors when opening and closing Mozilla using a hacked user agent--something like "Java Virtual Machine for Netscape should not be used with MSIE." If you get that, switch your user agent back to it's default.

    I have never used the Prefbar, but it looks good.

    No, Kevin, you are not. Haven't you been paying attention to the news lately? Ashcroft has disappeared hundreds of people, who are being held without charges and without any right to see attorneys. Most are immigrants (and in many of their cases, their families don't even know where they are), but at least two are US citizens. None of these folks are getting bail hearings.
    I might be wrong, but I don't think Ashcroft's been Attorney General for four and a half years.
