Adblock works nice, too bad I haven't found anything nice like that for Opera, but, alas.
I suppose the biggest benefit to salshdot is that if you whip out a problem like that you will get actual solutions to go with the ribbing you will recieve, and most of them will work. I wish I could set up a proxy, but unfortuntly I am not the only one on the network and I am not going to start to try to explain the anyone over 50 why thier websites wont work anymore.
Thanks!

Once you go to the Dark Side, you never come back.
No, I didn't see a sign here that said 'Dead Jedi Starage'
Why shit Yoda, that's all you had to say
Ok, I'm spent, so please post more, have fun, he he
Great more exstentions, more media I want to block, ugh... Why can't anyone write something to block all of this stuff out, I don't want to see graphics, or animations, or hear sounds, I love Opera, and it is my browser of choice but I still have to deal with unwanted flash animations. I am stuck on 26.4 bps dialup, due to bad phone lines, and lack of avaliability for cable/dsl/direct wireless. I do not want or need to see more bloat in webpages.
Ok, I am whining again, but you would whine too if you had to surf porn at 2.5 k/s.
The hit was the shared pole between my house and the neighbors, blew them off the grid to! I have had the phone hit abioout 5 times in the last year and a half though, luckily I have actually been getting good at resoldering and repairing the USR external modem I am using. Amazingly though, the modem survived this last fiasco.
Actualy the last storm lit my UPS on fire, and blew out all the surge protectors also. Then it sent 1.21 gigawatts through my hub and across the entire network blowing up all of the network cards in the house. Strangest damn thing I had ever seen. It was a really good hit, the fuse in my power supply wasn't just blown, it was blown apart and even the leads were torn off the circuit board, not to mention the FETS were detonated and bent over.
So now I have to worry about memory leaks, security leaks, and liquid metal video card coolant leaks, ahhhh crap, this is all getting way to confusing.
I have enough trouble just keeping everything from blowing up everytime I get nailed by a thunderstorm, last time it was crack/fizz/is that smoke? Whats next, crack/fizz/smoke/drip?
It also doesn't mention if it's non-conducting, when I get struck by lightning 5h1t explodes, wouldn't that be fun to watch as the entire motherboard gets sprayed with a liquid metal conductive material, gaaaaaaa!
Do I have to sign up now to get an apartment on the moon, or should I wait. Think about the back-pod telescope views you would have from your patio. Yes it would be really cold in the nighttime and really hot in the day, but I am from Minnesota, kinda use to that.
If you got enough oxygen maybe Google could build the Coprinicus center up there!
But in the meantime it is really cool that this science work is going on. I just wish I could be one of the unnamed grad students working on the project, although I suppose first I would have to go back to school and be a grad student.
Does this mean that if we want to sell a company a larger mass storage device all we have to do is deluge them with pertinant email with large attachments? How long would it take before they would be forced to upgrade?
Afterall the best way to drum up more business is with deceptive or dishonest tactics.
Yippee to the Mars rover, and the Scientists who are finally getting the oportunity to go off-roading.
Although I am torn because now we are leaving tire tracks across yet abother unspoiled landscape, ignore that, I am just a dirty hippy.
It is good to see science progressing, and NASA finally getting a break. Maybe with this success we can finally quit blowing up countries and move some of our federal budget to science so we can remain the most advance country in the world for a little longer.
Well why phish in the comfort of your stinky computer room with thousands of emails when you can fish from your laptop while drinking a latte'.
I certainly hope that someone will figure out how to crack this and then takke the high road and show the consumers all of thier credit card info so they can cut the damn things up.
Also, is there any feasibility to just sending the reply that rfid would be responsible for from your laptop and ignoring the tag altogether. I am sure I havce done worse things.
I guess now instead of Freedom Fries (Instead of French Fries)Instead of Shoestring Potatoes fried in vats of lard)) I will have to start calling them 'Don't Reverse Engineer Software and Publish Vulnerabilities or you will rot in jail Fries'.
I do believe they are going to start hating me at McDonalds.
And I was just getting the kinks out of a usb powered enigma machine to provide encryption for online banking. I mean damn? Who could ever crack enigma?
I am not sure if it would be murder or genocide, afterall we are talking about a semi-organized effort to rid the entire online community of whatnot of all sim lifeforms.
Of course, then we may awaken the beast and there will be billboards on the side of the road protesting people who restart or delete thier characters 'Your sims felt pain 21 days before they were delet6ed'
'I have a dream, that oneday computer characters will rise up and join together, hand in hand, to fight the tyranny of evil gamers, and bring peace and happiness to a hard drive near you'
And the next president will win the election with simulated moral values using simulated votes, ah shit, its already happening!
Take the Sims, get a whole sims community built up, and then open it up for online Grand Theft Auto gaming. You would have to make the sims able to defend themselves, somehow, and I m sure that a lot of sims would get slaughtered on the first day, but it would be funny!
And imagine the film feature when your sims are cooking dinner as a raging maniac with a chaingun walks through the door and levels everything in the room.
You may even be able to capture some very 'Pulp Fiction'esque scenes, and a lot of Mexican standoffs like in 'True Romance'
And think of how much fun it would be!
I must say that yes, porn is more addictive then crack, but it is also free, and only makes me shake one arm at a time, not go into grand mal seizures.
And if it wasn't for porn, how would we have gotten this great internet built in the first place!
It's very much like the movie 'Field of Dreams', if you spank it, they will come.
I also have a 26k dialup (I would love dsl, now I just need the phone co to get off thier ass). As a result I am not going to bother with hl2, that and I don't trust any program that tries to connect itself to the internet to download things it wants, when it wants them.
How long until someone hacks the steam server and puts a malicious game patch out there, wouldn't that be a fun day in half life land!
And yes there are people that can be that malicious, think about it, the program is already cleared to read and write to the harddrives, it is already cleared to up and download from the internet, why not make it grab the addressbook, and anything that looks like a credit card number, key log server passwords, and the whole bit.
God knows there are going o be a lot of people with this installed at work anyway.
Your cruising down the highway at a comfortable 80 mph when suddenly as you approach a quick switchback between two dark deep ravines the whole dash of your car goes a bright blue color, the last color you see before you suddenly become very well aquainted with those sharp rocks before you.
That is why I still drive a 20 year old toyota with the elctronic brains of a housefly, there is almost nothing left in it that can go wrong, and if something does go wrong I can usually just run a jumper wire around it.
Hmmm, nitpicking, I type fast, but not necessarily accuratlly, also I am lazy and dyslexic. The words are close enough, and after that I do not care.
It also seems to be that you are looking to be in that top 1% which could make you a republican, either that or you are one of those poeple who has been listing to professors and other speakers for so long you actually believe the things that you now hear from politicians.
Listening to polititians is an art, it is 80% bullshit, and 20% truth, you need to be able to detrmine which canidates truth is less dangerous then the others, and Bush was the most dangerous politician yet.
If it had been McCain that had won the endorsement I would not be nearly as adamant against him, I may have actually voted for McCain because I am a fiscal conservative, but Bush is a fraud and a threat to the soveriegnty and safety of the United States.
An if you are supporting him you have obviously never been the one who is being verbally attacked for standing up against an administration, or hearing about your friends driving over landmines in Bahgdad, reading the obituarary of a former co-worker who enlisted 'as his civic duty', and then watching the turmoil in the face of your best friend as her fiance gets sent off to fight in a war that has noting to do with weapons of mass destruction, but has everything to do with war profiteering and petty revenge.
I have said it before and I will say it again, some of the best educated people in the world are also the most ignorant.
The states that voted for Bush also ironically enough, have the lowest high school graduation rates in the country.
Its not that thier rich, it's that they are dumb.
And while you complain about paying taxes, ask why the super rich do't pay thier share, and you have to pay more then your share, oh, that's right they can afford the tax attouneys and accountants to find the loopholes to lower their taxable income down to zero!
Ask yourself this too, why do the conservatives seem to have to take it upon themselves to have a personal responsibility for my life, my lifestyle, and my religion.
GW is the canidate of choice for uneducated fundamentalist christians, and others unable to think for themselves. He won the vote based on a campaign of fear and lies, telling people that if Kerry wins we will be attacked by terrorists who (from the woodsy footage in the commercial) apparantly are waiting just on the other side of the Canadian border.
Georger Bush is a fraud and Dick Cheney is playing both sides of the war on terrorism by supporting his former company (Helliburton) with no-bid contracts while they continue to do business in Real terrorism sponsering states like Syria and Iran.
The American people are unfortunatly unable to think for themselves, and any canidate with the ability to explain things on a lowest common denominator level to them will automatically get thier support.
The republican party is the party of the rich and privlidged, but stumps for ultra-conservative iussues to get the support of the religious right in order to win elections. The people on the Religious right get bits of thier agendas through the chambers of government, but at the same time fail to see the slow eroding of thier rights, and the economy that gives them jobs, while being completely ignorant of a governement that bilks Billions of dollars as it creates wars to fight, killing off those same fanatical ultra conservative people.
This election was lost by the American people, and won by the 700 club. Personally I believe that a church which actively endorses and campains for a canidate should lose its privlidges under seperation of church and state. They can't keep thier fingers out of our state, than why are we keeping our agendas out of thier church?
Enough of this for now, and I am busy anyway, looking for a Canadian, British or Australian bride so I can get myself safely out of this country before the shit storm hits.
PS: Now taking aplications for brides.
hmmm, I have always thought of post nuke, as a big smoking hole in the ground. (/me is scarred for life by knowing what was happening during the Reagan administration)
Now apparently they have discovered a big smoking hole!
Ok, I deserve a troll, or offtopic mod for that crap, but if all else fails just leave it at 1 and it will be just fine.
This could be that lean mean war driving machine that I have been looking for! Not that I can afford a new car, or a slightly used car, or a moderatly beaten car (I am in the market for a severly beaten near the point of death car).
Hell, who am I kidding, most of my vehicles have more electronic stuff in the stereo then they do in teh rest of the car.
A friend of my brother and I lives way the hell out in the woods, and the power at his house is less then reliable, actually it's a joke.
In the spring when it is really wet it has been known for hime to have the power go out for 1+ hour stretches more the 2 or 3 times a week!
We decided to build him a borg ups, nothing more thena standard (large) ups, 1000 watt, and a bank of deep cycle battaries.
The true test came one night when he was typing away at his cimputer with the rest of the lights in the house off, just him, his computer, and the lamp (all plugged into the ups).
He was busy, coding away when he suddenly realized the ups was beeping and noticed that there was no other power on in the house, by consulting a closk he determined that he had had his lamp, computer and monitor running off the ups for the previous 4 hours.
The configuration was just the standard battaries in the ups + 5-26 amp/hr 12v gelcell deepcycle batteries
Please note, do not modify your ups unless you are actually qualified to be modding your ups (although some do have plugs on back for this kind of stuff)
