When searching in Mozilla, your search request only gets sent to Netscape this way if you actually search using the Netscape search (why they then still do this is beyond me, but okay... 's probably to simply have all the data in one place or something... whatever)
From the NetscapeSearch.src in your mozilla/searchplugins dir:
I never bothered to get Netscape 6, but I assume these files exist in there as well. It's plain text, so simply remove the http://info.netscape.com/fwd/sidb_ns/ part from the action of the searches and the problem should be fixed.
Back before you were born, computer movies were about real computer components with real terms
Well, accurate computer movies are still being made. AntiTrust for example had only a few points where I frowned over things that didn't seem exactly right, but other than that it was quite accurate, and even a semi-good movie in itself. (Besides already being fun because of the obvious Microsoft parallels.)
*blinks* I wonder where the.dot came from... I'm sure I meant to type.god - oh well, doesn't really matter anyway - chances are there's actually a dot-dot out there as well.:)
(Ooh, and the.xxx I saw mentioned in some other posts also exists in those alternative top level domains.)
People are actually running their own nameservers outside of ICANN in a quite ordered way - there's a host of.ocean,.dot,.children, and similar top level domains out there - all you need to do is use one of those nameservers.
Go take a look at OpenNIC - through which you can also use the top level domains from PacificRoot and AlterNIC.
There's actually a yet more useful bug request out there to get flash blocking on a per site basis, just like there's image blocking on a per site basis.
Work on it seems to have halted for a while though, but maybe that's cause it's really more a specific instance of the general case of being able to block any multimedia content from any site.
I just hope this'll be picked up soon, since the flash banners have gotten really bad nowadays.
Obviously invented by someone who never had to inflate any airbeds with a footpump... 15 minutes of brisk pumping an hour - ouch. You won't last a day...
Not everything on the homepage is broken. Most pages in 'afbeeldingen' (images) are actually working.
Somehow, none of it strikes me as something built by someone who wrote that script, though. Not even if that someone only copied the script from somewhere else...
I'm thinking there's a good chance this exploit was only a way to take revenge for something on mmargae by someone else; can you imagine what this is doing to his account? - I don't know that much about the isp used here, but there's no way the user's account is equipped to handle such amount of email he must have been getting...
Then again, if this is only about revenge, why send the msn-logon of the infected person along?
If you look at the index page of the forum where these pics appear, there's some nice data on the slashdot effect in progress. Currently 58788 views for that thread - where most other threads don't get above the 2k views.
It'd be interesting to check back in a day or so, see how many hits we racked up in total...
"When will they learn? I mean, they should be the experts, right?"
I'm figuring most of 'them' have learned long ago already. It's just that they need to mention copy-protection because that's what the investors want to hear...
"Copy-protection" has merely become yet another buzzword.

the data doesn't travel over wires... rather highly trained camels carry packets. still uses IP though.
:)
Lol! Reminds me of a recent Dilbert.
Hmm, in fact, I think there's a chance you remembered that one as well. Still funny though.
Yes, I know this is off topic, but geeze... it just appeared there. Or at least, the empty block with nothing in it appeared. *pats his Mozilla*
:(
Now I see what they mean by large - and it ain't good.

Human life is a threat to the planet.
Yes, I realize that sounds a lot more radical than I intend it to, but tinkering with ecosystems this way is not what I'd call a good idea...
Wheeeee!!! More RSI! :)

Just out of curiousity, is there any way to make the centre-button-click open the linked document in a new tab, instead of a new window?
Yes, there is.
preferences, navigator, tabbed browsing
[open tabs instead of windows for]
-> middle-click or control-click of links in a Web page

Heinneman seems to be expanding its field a bit. They also published a volume containing Douglas Adams' two Dirk Gently novels last year.
