Imagine all the nice callers being filtered out or directed to the automatic system. What a wonderfull day at work this could be, when only the angry dumbasses get through to you. On the other hand it finaly pays of having decent music for those waiting. And just imagine all the beatifull satistics - Yes we had a 12% raise of angry customer this month, but the good news is most of them will have a heart attack within the next year (rough noise to blood pressure estimation) *Q: What kind of computer do you have? - A:Like one of those beige ones.*
Way back, when I just started using *nix, I also learned of this nice and handy little command. Well being lazy, I used it a little more often than necessary - hey why should I care to cancel the tasks individualy, if I wanted to log off anyway. Well some nice day we where given access to a bunch of solaris boxes. Well, some infinite loop later I decided it would probably faster to kill everything and to log on again. The admininstrator wasn't to happy he had to reastart the X-Server again for the third time this day (hey, at least I wasn't the only one).
as it has already been stated, ad blocking has been with norten internet security/antivirus since version 2002 (at least). the "major" change is that they changed the default option to "block". I used the feature from the first time I saw it and was amazed how fast the web suddenly was (dialup and banners don't mix to well). While complainig about ad blocking, what about mozilla's pop up blocker? They used to annoy the hell out of me, but now it's just a tiny exclamation mark at the bottom. I enjoy the freedom not to listen. Maybe it's some kind of theft, but so is zapping channels on your tv during the commercial break.
live fast, die young and leave a flat piece of fur on the highway - squirrels, hell's angels of mother nature
As Monty Python used to say at the Hollywood Bowl: "American beer is like making love in a kanu - f*cking close to water". Ah... british humor, dark like a guinnes and at least that bitter.

just imagine what would happen if you'd use one of these babies to fuel our caffeine addiction
