Putting "127.0.0.1 pagead.googlesyndication.com" in/etc/hosts did the trick, though...
You might want to use 0.0.0.0 instead. That way you won't get an access attempt on localhost. I usually only block annoying ads (x10) or privacy problems (doubleclick). I don't see the point in blocking Google's text ads.
One day I'm going to put a mini-server on 127.0.0.1 that serves up cute cat pictures instead of blocked banner ads.:^)
Tonight I watched Reg Hartt's animation show, which included a number of banned cartoons or ones that normally had bits chopped out.
For those that don't know, Reg Hartt is a Toronto landmark who loves animation and old films. He runs a number of film showings out of his house. (He sells memberships rather than tickets, probably a law dodge. Members can bring wine or food if they wish. Bring enough for everyone.:^) If you're in Toronto, check it out.
Heh, "Chuck" Jones? The cartoons I saw tonight had Charles Jones in the credits. (Voices by Mel Blanc. All of them. *sigh*)
Note that HE SAYS he doesn't spam anymore. If his used "Shock it to me" machine gig goes bust, do you think that he won't flip back over to the dark side? He doesn't exactly sound repentant. (Prase Zen that he's an EX-cop.)
Eh, you need at least an army of twelve monkeys to threaten humanity (or not). It's a good thing that those AIs haven't figured out that they could staff their power pods with (98%+ human) chimps. A kinder Matrix -- with more bananas. Ook!
Most of the companies that I've worked for didn't last five years. When the CEO hopes to make it big and sell out for many millions in a few years, maintainability isn't high on their list.
Have fun: Next interview ask "where do you see the company in five years?" Turnabout and all that.
Okay, here's the picture of the unit. There are two "click to expand" images on the page.
Sorry about the multiple posts on this, but I'd hate to think of a hardware hacker tossing something like this by mistake. This tiny little unit has (a) laser diode (b) detectors and demodulator of the returned beam (c) aiming coils for a limited arc. Could a be zillion interesting projects for it! (bugs, range finders, etc.)
You're probably a troll, but.. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I did a Google to find the picture of the TDA1302T (main IC #) laser unit that I found last time I searched. This time I found the freaking chip specs at Philips. For some reason I'm finding all sorts of data that I didn't the last time I searched. I even found the board I took apart (and trashed) here. Of course, I can no longer find the picture of the unit, figures!:^P
But thank you! My plans for world domination may now proceed...
Are you sure you want to build a robot armed with a laser?:^P
Actually I did take apart an old 1.5x drive. The motors work nicely off of a small solar panel. The laser module is cute, I wish I had specs. It has a laser diode & drivers, detector for the bounced beam, and coils to steer the beam/detector with a small lens. Cool.
I have seen news sites that give the URL, but not as a link. It won't slow down anyone who knows how to copy/paste, but probably smooths out the peaks quite a bit.

Buy the subway car and explore them in style. :^P
Relaxing? I suppose, but I find the sound just sdfkl;zzzzzzzzzz...
Maybe someone who bought one of those "airplane on a stick" houses could use it as a guest house? (Too lazy to search the Slashdot article.)
You're right.
Heh. I saw that one tonight. Coal Black and the Seven Dwarfs has good jazzmen doing the music. Definitely not PC however.

I have never lied to you. ;^)

Rule #1: Spammers always lie. Are you sure that you want to believe his statements at face value?
Sub-rule: Spammers always lie about pushing pr0n.

And there's Dildo Newfoundland. I guess Climax Michigan would be SOL too.

Should I be worried?
Nah. They're obviously Weapons of Mass Storage.

Multiple choice? They must have launched CowboyNeal!
My fridge?
Yeah, some of the life patent cases are getting a bit strange.
Distilled Usenet bitterness?
For what value of small?
