They say they are developing this 'idea'. What if you click the link to the next page, that takes you directly to the advert, which then automatically redirects to the real page you thought you were going to. How about the webserver takes 15 seconds to process the request for the real page. This isn't rocket science and I don't think it's blockable.
Also, if you click a link that takes you directly to an advert then you have requested that pop-up, so Mozilla should let it through.
I know this is a bit flame-like, but I have to ask:
Are you saying that it is <quote>Utter Stupidity</quote> to ignore principles? It's not as if their project is now useless or anything! <rant> If it wasn't for people like this then we'd have already blown up Sadam and a load of Iraqi civilians</rant> see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=21 7906 for details.
I have to ask - you - why is PNG bad? Really - I'd like to know what you think is bad about it? What would you suggest is better? Windoze BMP for it's small file size maybe?!
Sometimes I see duplicate stories on Slashdot. What's up with that?
If you see a duplicate, you can mail the story's author. If the story is still quiet, we may pull it down. However, once the comments are rolling in, we often leave the story up so that the discussion can continue.
Some people have suggested that there might be a software solution to this problem. If you think you've got one, visit the Slashcode site and submit a diff. As long as it isn't a performance hit, I'd consider using it. (Be aware however that the trick of searching for duplicate URLs isn't as helpful as you might think, since the same story can appear in multiple locations.)
