i had a quick try of this yesterday (few slight differences in file names etc) and found it didnt seem to block ads triggered by javascript. i blocked "*.falkag.net*" (or whatever that company/. seems to pull its ads from) and it blocked the static images, but the big.swf ones that are loaded through a.js script stubbornly refused to go away. any advice on killing them?
i liked your post, i really did. it got me all enthusiastic about giving opera a proper go, i went and locked at OperaAdFilter and it looked like just what i was looking for... until i clicked download and found it was windows only:( looks like ill be sticking with firefox/safari for a while longer then. why is it that a browser extention requires a particular platform to function? is it just a stupid installer that i could run on a windows pc and grab the important files or is it actually windows dependend?
you've obviously never used adblock if you make a comment like that. in adblock a rule "*/ads/*" will block any content with/ads/ in the path. thats thousands of ads over many servers blocked in one rule; your method blocks one server
whoa there billy! learn to use some paragraphs and i might consider reading what you've got to say. no amount of positive moderation is gonna convince me to read such a stupidly large block of text

quote should have read: and having a fraction of the land area and higher population densities had nothing to do with it. Honestly, I don't get otherwise rational people even making the comparison.
South Korea is a world leader in broadband penetration and they started from zero just s few years ago. They're government made it a vital policy to get broadband to everyone, and it worked.
I live in Australia (it's that big one on the other side, very sparsly populated) and pay AU$50 (something like US$35 or so last time i checked) per month for 12Mbit/1Mbit ADSL2+... sorta voids your arguement, doesnt it
I can't imagine meeting someone in a coffee shop, then spending five minutes fiddling with the phone to program their info into a phone- That would be really annoying and rude...
Thats why we do it on the num pad in less time than it would take you to find your goddamn pen... but you obviously never meet anyone out and about so i guess thats not a bit problem for you
I cant believe so many moderators are wasting points modding up dupe related comments that have been said a thousand times before. let the dupe die and move on already
as an aussie, who saw the movie in england with two scotsmen and a dutchman, we all thought it was fuckign shite. dont get me wrong, i love british humor but that movie was lacking in it

shit, i would rather just a small chunk of my library at a time. since thats not what you want i guess i must be wrong now

seeing that gmail doesnt and wont support folders, what extra benefit will true IMAP bring? a synced inbox and sent mail is about all that matters
just a guess but the line probably gets interpreted as html and wants a

enlighten us... what more do you need besides a box to type your search term and a dropdown menu to pick the search engine?
yes, but everyone that wants (and most who dont) a stupid crappy camera already has one in their cell phone. it'd be redundant putting one in an ipod
bull fucking shit

monthly reinstall of windows? wow, that is bad... perhaps its time to jump ship to something better

ok, one question:
which do you use when you want to connect to a windows machine?
sure, vnc can connect to umpteen different platforms, but isnt the whole geek philosophy "use the best tool for the job".
