I have one of those Natural type keyboards with built in touchpad. I took a knife and very carefully scraped off the WINBLOZ symbols. My Linux keyboard is now Winbloz free.
I do the same thing to all my friends keyboards when I convert them from Winbloz to Linux.
They like it when I do that, it makes them feel truly free..
I will never buy your bullshit products and never recomend them to anyone!
As a matter of fact, I build and sell products that directly compete with your products and outpreform them by an imeasurable factor.
And the price that I sell them at is so, so, so far below the price of your sorry products that people fall all over themselves to buy *MY* products, which by the way, is not hackable like your trash is..
Uh, excuse me but no, I'm not getting the entire NYT for free. No one is. It's not possible for you to consume the entire NYT online EVERYDAY, much less on any one day. You only view the specific items that you are interested in.
And the ads are a waste of my time and bandwidth because I have NO INTEREST in them. I also find it extremely annoying to have things whirling about my screen waving and blinking at me trying to distract me from reading what I want to read.
Rather like mosquitos at a picnic, it's hard to eat with a pest in your face all the time.
I simply do not conduct Internet purchases, never have, never will. I will not buy anything from anyone for any reason through the Internet. The ad agencies are wasting my time and my bandwidth with annoying ads that are of no value to me.
Not to mention that *SOME* people have seizures when flashing things get jammed in their face.
Ever think about that?? I doubt it. The ad sharks are thoughtless assholes that don't give you the option to stop the gdmf thing from it's endless cycle.
I wouldn't be so annoyed if they would run ONE cycle on the animation then STOP and remain in a static state, but the endless whirling and flashing is very, very thoughtless..
With Konqueror I can, on a site by site basis, define which sites I allow or disallow javascript, java, etc.. AND, on a site by site basis I can define what Konqueror presents itself as, IE, Mozilla, IE, Lynx, Opera, etc..
MOST websites consider this and if they THINK your browser can't display graphics, won't try to push them on you.
I really can fine tune it anyway I want.
I'm sure your method works great for you. Mine works great for me. To each his own..
Do you get your jollies getting hammered with ads?? I find them offensive and despicable.
This article is bragging about how they shove ads down your throat. I, as most people, hate ads and I offered MY way of dealing with them.
What's so wonderful about the NYT ads system?? I think it sucks if you ask me. Just another waste of MY bandwidth and MY time.
And by the way, I can't read a page when some fscking monkey is running all over my screen screaming punch me. I would rather punch the bastard that tries to put that crap on my screen.
Since I quit Windows and went to Linux I don't have to see that trash any more.
1. I ignore ads. I don't buy things online, at all. 2./etc/hosts I don't see ads. 3. Konqueror = no flash trash, no popups, ever. 4. 1-3 = happy browsing for me!!!
I'm stone cold serious, you people need to get a life if you have to carry an Internet terminal around everywhere with you.
I remember when there were no satellites in the sky, where there was no such thing as cable TV, computers smaller than a building, and cell phones were a Dick Tracy funny papers thing. You think the world is a better place for all this technology?? You are all slaves to the machine. Look at it, really. Check the YRO section, look at the former KGB generals coming here to run 'Homeland "Security"'..
Look at all the Big Brother articles right here on/. !!!
We beg for the very tools that enslave us. How appalling. I carry a cell phone, a plain cell phone and only because I have to for work. If it were not for that I would not carry one. I don't have a home phone because I am sick of assholes calling me to no end trying to sell me crap I don't need or want.
I am a connected Luddite. I am on the net because I have to be, for work purposes. Outside of that I have no real use for the Internet, it's pretty much a giant toilet of misinformation.
If all the electronics on earth stopped working today I would rejoice because we would have to go back to using our minds again, like we used to. Computers have made people STUPID. SOME people may now be smart about computers, but so what? So that they know how to work on and use the tools that will bring about the end of our freedoms???
If I need to buy something that offers a substantial rebate, like $100 on a HDD, I have a friend send it in then get the money from them. I am not in "the database"
just carry around a laptop with PCMCIA cell phone? Or why not just clip a 45" big screen TV on your belt? Damn, are you so desperate for 24/7 entertainment that you HAVE to drag a theatre around with you??
So sad it is that you people can't just turn it off and walk away for a few hours. I haven't watched a movie in a few years now. I don't even listen to the radio when I drive. I just listen to the motor and my thoughts.
Have any of you ever tried that?? What do you do when the electricity goes out for a few hours? Contemplate suicide because you can't get online and play a game or watch some new PPV movie??

fp!!
OMG, this is spooky!
These people are evil. 1984 is upon us...
I f*cking-a did exactly that...
They won't be happy about what *I* had to say to them....
This is just plain and simple COMMUNISM..
There is no other explanation.
Who ever designed this is a communist..

These people are just shills for M$.
When will the M$ zealots ever give up??
I guess not as long as us nix zealots breath free air....
is to outlaw M$ products.
Winbloz is an insecure product. It's broken out of the box and can not be repaired. This is documented fact.
I will never buy your bullshit products and never recomend them to anyone!

FU Cisco..
DEATH to Orwellian Dictators!
A punch in the face is the new currency?
Ok, so you do pay after all..
yes, that works.
(:)-P
from the ahole punks that cruise the road in front of my house with that 400db thump-thump crap playing. It splits my skull all the way into my house.
They put a ban on it but the kids ignore it. I would like to put bricks through their windsheilds.
They are invading my privacy with that crap.
If you can get free energy from that though, I'm in the green for sure.

Have a great day..
My Linux box is so frigging fast that a 500k hosts file matters not. And with 200gigs, what's 500k ??
With hosts and Konqueror it is extremely rare that I ever see an ad anywhere, when one does sneak through I just add that site to my hosts file.
Works great, and I mean great for me...
1. I ignore ads. I don't buy things online, at all. /etc/hosts I don't see ads.
2.
3. Konqueror = no flash trash, no popups, ever.
4. 1-3 = happy browsing for me!!!
/etc/hosts
Buh-bye ads!
This is Orwellian bullshit.
Belgium is the seat of EVIL.
All bad things emit from Belgium. Like International Court, and other evil things.
National ID cards are just BAD...
Turn on microwave oven, no watchy watchy TV.
Neighbor turn on microwave oven, no watchy watchy TV.
2.4ghz bad..
Yeah, I do security work. /. is a good place to stay abreast of security, privacy, rights issues.
It's my job to be aware of what goes on.
Just because I use and work with technology does not mean that I have to have a love affair with it.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
Hey man! You been hanging around my Ex wife or something! I still got feelings for here damn it!!
Flamebait. NOT...
