I go for Earl Grey yes. I don't block the transmittion of television ads from getting to my house no.
I used to get my ad fix from adcritics.com, before they started showing popups. Now, I didn't just configure Mozilla to stop popups, I just stopped going there. This way I am not seeying popups AND I'm not getting a free lunch from them.
when I said, "right" I didn't mean legal right, but rather what your moral compass says.
Sites dont "put" pictures on your computer, documents you requested, with content that you wanted to see, included calls to display ads in the format of images. If you don't want to see ads, go to sites that don't show ads. simple.
Going to sites that depend on ads to survive, eating up their bandwidth/server resources and blocking their advertising is just wrong IN MY OPINION.
As far as I am concerned, if a publisher (say slashdot) puts up content expecting to get its costs covered by adding into the document some advertising code (image tag) and you block that part of the document, but still get the content you want... well you just took the cake and left the publisher to pay for the bandwidth and server costs.
It is obvious that this was not the intent of the publisher, you just felt you could do this because you know HOW TO do this, or someone helped you (IE Mozilla).
Say what you will, it may not be illegal but it's not right either. I never block ads, just stop going to a site if those ads annoy me (popups).
Because of the fact that most slashdot readers have the know-how on how to block ads, expect prices here to be higher than on sites where the target audience doesn't have that knowledge.
Seems like there are many here that still don't see anything wrong with blocking ads... Its a not the viewers right to block ads period. It is the same as stealing from a store because you think the price is too high.
The people that view ads or pay the subscription here will have to pay for the ones that don't, it's that simple.
In fact, part of the reason slashdot is hurting is probably due to the thousands of posts here saying "advertising is imoral, I am l33t, I block ads and you should too PS: download Mozilla, it makes it simple".
I would love to go, as I have for the past 2 years, but the move to the west coast makes it impossible.
Why do we need more shows in California and less in the rest of the country is my question... Seems to me Atlanta was pretty well located for the east coast, which has few opportunities like this.

Your FOREACH and FOR example is without merit.
ripped from perlsyn (man perlsyn):
The `foreach' keyword is actually a synonym for the `for' keyword, so you can use `foreach' for readability or `for' for brevity.
I do agree on your point though, you just choose a bad example and topic, since 'Efficiency' for perl *normally* means coding better and faster, not running faster.
Depending too much on that eBay cashflow could be a mistake. I think they should go IPO and invest that money in growing the share of small/medium businesses that can't afford a merchant account.
Make it a standard everywhere, not just for auction sites, and I'm a buyer. I'll have to sell my now worth $20 CMGI stock though...

read the article before posting:
"Russian officials want to raise the submarine to eliminate any potential threat to the area's rich fishing grounds from its twin nuclear reactors and try determine the cause of its sinking."
I don't think romatic views take precedence over glowing fish... but I could be wrong.
Java is still alive and well in the multimedia dept. Most rich media banners you see (unless you block them while stealing the publishers content) are in Java, and only a minority in Flash. I assume Flash will prevale, but for the time being Java applets rule.
It's interesting that Pair Networks is asking the questions... they have about 300 FreeBSD servers, and have been hosting web sites since January 1996.
For the last three days he has posted at the early hours (EDT), giving some live to slashdot at those times when things are normally quiet around here. Thanks, I hate to come here to find the same news I saw the last time, and it happens all too often at night. I'm sure friends in other time zones appreciate this as well.
It only makes sense. MSN will probably play a large part in promoting.NET to the public and Qwest owns alot of dark fiber which can't hurt either.
Microsoft needs strong platforms from which to be a "leader" in the Internet. browser, media players,.NET and MSN should all compliment each other quite nicely...
I venture that most of the "patent issues" that are discussed here are really execution problems.
Patents are granted without real study of the subject or patent infringement claims that are ludicrous. Patent law itself, except for the long and static "time to live" is not seriously flawed IMO.
My website depends on its content integrity, including banner ads and links, to survive. What is the sense of me posting (as opposed to printing) content if someone else is going to take ads out or put links in ?

actually, there is no space between HD and o8 on the recipe above. I blame this typo on /.
How about a perl or sh script to:
parse logfile;
extract IP's that are infected
nslookup their domain
email root@domain form letter
please email me if anyone did this.
