5.6G is pretty high I think. I once went for a joy flight in a twin seater (side by side) ex Military Jet Provost (I think they were training jets). We were not using any anti-G suits and the pilot asked if I'd done any acrobatics before. I had in a prop plane, so I said yes. We had done some groovy acrobatics including a loop which had required me to push blood back to my head to prevent passing out when he put us into another loop... I was having great fun!... I can only think that it was a tighter loop (higher G's) than the first because I saw grey sooner than expected and the next thing I remember was...
hmm, I can't move my arms.... why can't I move my arms... and my legs they are shaking like crazy, how embarassing. Surely the pilot will be noticing, control yourself man!
Then as I came to, I could see (and feel) that the pilot had a hold of my (crossed) hands preventing me from stiking him in the head as my body spasmed in the seat.
The pilot said we had been doing just below 5 G's. So... I don't think many people would want many G's sustained over more than a second (not in a virtical loop anyway). I still enjoyed the flight though:^)
Yes, in Mozilla 1.2a, there is a Pop-Up Manager. You only see it in the Tools menu when you turn off: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins -> 'Open Unrequested Windows'
I believe each popup window gets a checkbox to allow you to turn off popups for each site.
Thought you might be interested... there was an article in a recent New Scientist titled 'Utterly Repulsive'
"THREE years ago we discovered that the Universe is expanding at a faster and faster rate. Now physicists say this might mean the Universe is littered with invisible "anti black holes" that repel any matter that comes close."

Acutally the better thread to read on what's happening is probably:g i?id=166442

Yeah ok, I agree, they need a 'block by default' option.... then for the few occasions we want popups, we can go enabled them in the manager.

Much less work for us.
It seems there are some problems with the popup manager anyway:
