That's like the story from way back in the days of 5.25" floppies, where somebody sent a couple in a cardboard mailer printed "FLOPPY DISKS - DO NOT BEND".
The postman added "Oh yes they do!" before folding the mailer in half and sticking it in the letterbox.

If you use the Win2K version of TweakUI, you can set Tab to be the completion character.
Alternatively, the keys CompletionChar and PathCompletionChar in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor are REG_DWORDs containing the ASCII value of the completion char - 9 in this case.
AdSubtract lets you configure popup blocking on a per-site basis, but only in the Pro version which costs money. The other versions don't do popups at all.
Proxomitron should let you do this as well, but the configuration is a little more complex. OTOH, it can do a whole lot more and it's cheaper:)
Given that Gator is a Windows thing, and that ActiveX is a massive security hole with access to the whole damn machine, I suspect an embedded ActiveX control would do the trick, as it could just check for the relevant Registry entries or see what tasks are running...
Why would I spend money on one of these devices, when my users degrade the network for free? --

There is a "lifetime" subscription option (it's the lifetime of the box, not the user, so you pay again if you upgrade) but I think it's in the region of £199.
TiVo say the data is kept anonymous, and you can opt out of having it collected altogether. Obviously, it's up to you whether you want to trust them or not, but I bet you don't get that option with a Sky Digibox:) --
We have that already, though - require 5.04; will cause pre-5.04 versions to drop dead, while allowing 5.04 and all subsequent versions of perl to carry merrily onwards... --

If the customers didn't specifically ask to receive follow-up mail, then yes, they are.
You are in a maze of twisty little blank pages, all different.

I only just got that tune out of my head after watching that episode last week...

Well, I'm certainly not going to link to them...

I can see the banner ad now... Ogg the monkey and win!
Yes, with more scientific research we might one day come up with a working sarcasm detector...

I signed up for the Edge from my work address over a year ago. Haven't heard a damn thing from it.
I wish all spammers sent that much mail...

Actually, many UK Dreamcast games ask if your TV supports 60Hz or just 50Hz :)
