Uh... yeah... I think they compiled in ESP.lib and Icanreadyourmind.h....:P
I believe the grandparent was correct. Mozilla blocks all popup ads. Except, if you click a link that is supposed to cause a popup it will show that one. I think the attitude is something like "If you didn't ask for it, don't open it."
>> If you need a pop up blocker, here's a very easy one, DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER
My self, I'm a regular user of Firebird, but the majority of the people that call me up at random times during the day (or night) aren't. I'm kinda glad they've added popup blocking. For now I believe it will help some of my user problems.
Same with outlook, I don't use it personally, but I'm glad that improvements have been made.
You mean Dungeons and Dragons is a system administration tool also?! Dang! Just when I thought I knew something.... Good thing slashdot is here to correct that....
Oww, you mean the command dd..... right.... I knew that....
I know this is offtopic but I've got plenty of karma, so here goes. I'm getting a new computer in two days (with plenty of harddrive space). Longbottle mentioned Linux, BeOS and Windows. What other OSes should I put on the box? (Yeah, I'm gonna have BSD)....
Or the different software running, or the way the software interacts with the hardware... but from what I've seen, most of the time the problems lie in the way the user works with the computer.
Well, OCG, let's think about this. (I'm not trying to troll. Honestly). If you're laptop is anything like my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1100) Then it has a little sticker somewhere on it (or the box it came in) that says something along the lines "Designed for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP". I believe the reason it "Just works" in Windows is because it was designed with Windows in mind. Making Linux work on it is just a wee bit more difficult, because most companies could really care less if it works with Linux, as long as you take the bait.
Having said that, I too frequently use Windows because "It just works", of course, I also use SuSE for the same reasons sometimes....
And yeah, I really am biased against Microsoft. I don't hate them, but given the choice of spreading one of the two I would choose Linux (unless we're talking about gaming...)
He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea...
How to break into a house using Pluto for security:
--------------------
Step 1: Discover IP address of the unit(s)
Step 2: Post bogus story to slashdot about MS releasing all code under GPL so everyone will look.
Step 3: Make sure to have the link in the bogus story to point to Pluto.
Step 4: Hope that the folk in charge put up the story without reading it. (50/50 chance:P)
Step 5: Prepare black mask and bag and hope that slashdot knocks Pluto off the face of the earth.
Me sees it now... box gets rooted while I'm away from home...
Me: (arriving home from some LAN party) Pluto, open the Garage door.
Pluto: I'm afraid I can't to that, Dave.
Me: Dave? OPEN the GARAGE DOOR PLUTO.
I'm afraid that this conversation can serve no purpose. Goodbye. (At that moment, Pluto connects to the computer in my car and drives me somewhere to somewhere near Texas...
Just make sure the mouse gestures are turned off when I've already got a window active. The last thing I want is to accidentally pull up Mozilla while I'm trying to aim in Quake ][.
The folks over at xpde.org have been doing some really nice work. They seem to be at a standstill at the moment, but that's just for now. It would be nice to see it included as a Window Manager for Linux. It would really help some people migrate.
As sad as this is, the proper way to distribute the blacklist information might be Email.
---How it would work---
Automatically send info to the registered system at something like blacklist_update@myisp.com. Don't have the data in plain text, but use PGP on it. Have the decryption key built into the software. In the subject line of the email, put the MD5 sum of the body text.
Upon recieving mail on blacklist_update@myisp.com or whereever the system is setup to use, the program begins parsing the email. It compares the MD5 sum of the body text to the sum in subject line. It uses the decryption key to decypher the list. At this point it updates it's databases and returns to normal operation.
In the event that a new key needs to be released or an old key needs to become nullified, an email is sent, much like the original, except containing a command code telling to add a new key as secure and remove the old key.
The email doesn't have to come from the same place every time, so there is not central place to DDoS the updates.

Actually I think the way good ole' Darl phrased it was "Any derivative works based on the bit"...
Does she have a sister?
Slashdot translation:
I'm beginning to have faith that I may be able to buy Legos for my future children so that I can play with them.
Well, I thought saying yes was a pretty good way bit of "evidence". Really though. Just because he knows how doesn't mean he did. Knowledge != Action.
Except for IE, OE, MSN Messenger, etc... They're part of the operating system! You don't need to disable them!....... Em Hmmm.....
