IIRC, isn't the JavaScript "onunLoad" event the one that allows for popup ads when you close the window in the first place? Wouldn't disabling that disable the porn ads?
I'd also recommend a way to completely break out of javascript popup windows. You could theoretically have popup windows that go forever, locking you in the program since there's no native "escape out of script" button.
And I thought I was a bit on the weird side for having encrypted convos(that were not any threat to national secuirity) with PGP to friends and egging them on to use PGP religiously. Guess I'm not so crazy.
So when is there going to be https://slashdot.org?
Don't high-end foreign cars have speed/horsepower regulator chips on them? I know there's a scene of people modding their cars up with chips as if it was a Playastation for better performance.
I was shocked at the MAME page to see just how many arcade games there were in the early 1980s that I never saw in a 7-11 or arcade. Many of them are quite original and challennging.
Now only if getting uncorrupted MAME roms was easier and MAME32 didn't lock up every 5 minutes,
I'm surprised with so many people having little webcams and dsl/cable, that videoconferencing doesn't have its own household names.
The only program I used with someone to get a semi-successful videoconf was Intel Video Phone. I looked just fine to him, but he looked like a 2K/sec RealVideo clip, and we could never figure out why. I couldn't get Cusemee to work(some cryptic errror message), and MS's videoconferencing software(netmeeting 3) was a joke.
Sadly, none of these packages let me seek someone else out with the sw just to try the damned thing. So my intel create & share cameera has been demoted to "webcam" and nothing more
I unknowingly got singed up to a mailing list today. judging by some of the angry mailers on there, looks like I wasn't the only one. It was for egroups.com.
Here's the weird part, it's for a discussion list about BENNY HILL!
I would never in my right mind ever subscribe to a benny hill mailing list, much less watch the show.
You know, it just isn't a 4th of July without hearing about some poor kid losing their fingers on the 10 o'clock news.
I remember going on a smuggling run into Wisconsin(from Minnesota) to a small fireworks store near the border. We got there before it opened, and the 5 other cars that were there all coincidentally had Minnesota plates. I felt like Han Solo.
I have one of their "best of" compliations, being "Who's Better, Who's Best".
Oddly enough "Won't get Fooled Again" is labeled "(Long Version)", yet it is less than 9 minutes long, about 2 minutes shorter than the live version. Strange. It doesn't even sound good.
Of course, all Who tracks sound a lot better live than pre-recorded. Take "My Wife"(Which I got to see entwhistle play about 4 years ago) for example. Yay.
PIcture this. I have a webcam on nerp.net, and some web page space on another site. The other site sends me a report every night at 12am with pretty much a raw Apache weblog of who visits my web pages(on that site).
So what I did was stick a blank GIF file on my webcam page that belonged to the other server. now every night I can find out who exactly hit my webcam, and when.
That would give you slightly better resolution than a Nintendo Gameboy. Perhaps that could be the perfect item for the patients to use to see if it fully works or not.
I remember back in the days I could log into the University of Minnesota's Gopher server, and practically get any student's(or faculty member's) real name, home address, and phone number rather easily. You can get your real info out of the public eye, but it's out there by default. Why not take the initiative to lock THAT out? As for SSH/SSL/whatever on everything, I'm all for that.
Interesting. It's like I have the right to do a full security audit on everyone else's servers since any one of them has the potential for being hacked, and thus could be used as a place to hack MY servers.
Can you get sued if you leave your keys in your car, and someone goes out for a joyride in your Saturn and drives through a shopping mall(like the Blues Brothers)? If so, it's time to do a big security sweep, MY profits are at stake!
>Extensible Exchange Protocol (BXXP) which seems >a *much* nicer alternative to the aging HTTP (if >the IETF will give it a chance).
Soon, all slashdot articles will be composed of entirely in acronyms(probably ESR is the worst acronym. Can't you just call him by name like everyone else?) for faster transfer speeds.

If you act now, you can get a 25% discount on Alien abduction insurance too!

The Three's COmpany cartridge for the ITari is hilarious. Kinda hard to see.
Here's your troll,

There, that was easy.(had to de-case it to get past the lameness filter)
I almost thought you meant to say Vogon instead of bogon, as in JonKatz's work is a lot like Vogon poetry. My mistake.
I find it funny that there is an ISP/ld provider/telephone provider called Eschelon.
I can just imagine the slogan. "Eschelon telecom. We're listening"
Forget that, I can now start my own rat army that lives under the sewers. I could be my own Splinter!

Or, 1/3rd of a palmpilot.

Is this reminding anyone of the game Civilization? I wonder who's going to get that space colony up and running first.
You must read The Onion too. My fave article was "O'Rielly book features animal on cover"
Wait a minute here...
We have one slashdot article of some guy building a rocket in his backyard...
Then we have an article on the russians sending a module into space..
Coincidence?
Are you sure this guy's last name isn't DuPont? No, wait, he was trying to build a time machine. And we all know how sane and intelligent he was.
HEy, just as long as they don't stop running those ads of Sela Ward jumping and dancing aronud in a black catsuit.

And when will we ever see a 4-letter TLD(if there is already one, tell me)?
