In Netscape (I'm using Windows 98), you can turn off images, but then you can view the images selectively by right-clicking the space where an image should be and choosing "show image" from the menu that appears.
I cant get Mozilla to do this. Looks like it's all images on, or all images off, period. I read where this has something to do with ad blocking. Anyway, is there a way to get Mozilla to do the Netscape trick I describe above?
...the US government requires that when the federal government funds a research program that one of two things happen with the results: either they're essential to national security, and they're classified, or else they're placed in the public domain. They're made available to everybody to use as they see fit because everybody paid for it in the form of taxes.
For example, BSD was developed under a grant from the US DoD via the ARPANET funding. Since the BSD code wasn't essential to national security, it was legally required to be placed in the public domain. The Regents of the University of California didn't like this: at first, they wanted to retain ull rights to the code, and the ability to make money off of it. It quickly became apparent that this was NOT going to be allowed to happen -- various people were prepared to go to court and force them to release the code as they were legally required to do.
