Think about it... the sites that show ads gain revenue from them. When you visit a site with ads, in a way they are giving you a service in exchange for viewing the ads. When you filter out those ads you are literally stealing from them. Its the same as cable theft and so on isnt it...
And I am not going to believe all that crap about ads slowing people down. Most people have at least a 33.6 connection, which is quite enough to surf a site like slashdot with ads enabled.
Its not as if slashdot is forcing you to buy stuff, all they are doing is asking you to at least glance at the ads...
ah well.. so much for my two cents. now flame me!!
