Please refer to my post a few ways down, hopefully it will be modded up more for others to see and fix this problem, though I don't know whether Safari has the equivalent of FlashBlock that firefox does.
I've noticed something about sites that people say have popups. I go to these sites, and twice now, I see something similar to this. Notice I made the box on the top left. That's the FlashBlock symbol, which blocks all flash elements on web pages and replaces them with that symbol until you click on them. If I click on the symbol, I get the popup. Therefore, I say a possible way to stop these new popups, for now, is to use FlashBlock. It allows you to have flash installed while avoided flash ads, since most of the websites you visit don't use flash except for ads, and the ones that do have flash content you want you just click on the icon.
"A local telco, Madison River Communications Corp., which runs a number of phone companies in rural areas in the south-eastern and mid-western United States, agreed to refrain from blocking VoIP calls and pay a $15,000 dollar fine to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)."
They've agreed to stop, so it does matter, the fine is on top of them agreeing to stop.
I've actually done this myself, purchased the magnetic reader, some electrical parts, soldered the thing together. Once I had things going, when you swipe say a Visa, it lists the card #, the expiry date, and the issuing bank. I've also tried it with a bank card, and it does list the bank card #, and an 'encrypted pin', which, if I understand correctly, is encrypted with triple DES (that's what I remember, I may be wrong). I also swiped my University student card, but can't yet make out what it has stored. Finally, I swiped an M&M Meat Shops Max Member card and all it has on it is the max member #, nothing more. Also, the person I did this with created some shims to raise the card so as to read the 2nd and 3rd track. It was overall a neat project.
Not only that, if you can see it, you can record it, your video card is outputting this image, no measure of copy protection could stop recording the video card output... since you still need to see a legally purchased dvd
If a website contains no TLD or main site name (for example microsoft.com) it assumes it's on a local intranet, so yes it is an internal site, for example here I can type http://ece/ and it will show me the page you would see at http://www.ece.uwaterloo.ca since I'm on the uwaterloo.ca domain's computers
http://experiencemore is likely just an internal pointer to this site For your information, the same applies for mail servers, so if I send an email from this mail server using the local email service (not a webmail thing like hotmail) I can send an email to a person by sending it to user@engmail for example which, to a person outside the University network would have to user@engmail.uwaterloo.ca
Hope this was helpful, if you already knew, I'm not trying to sound condenscending...

According to some old mirrors of his site, his name was Frank Bruvik. Also you can try to make out the mirrors, the AP article says:
The Napster.no site provided links to music files in the MP3 format that could be downloaded for free. The site was online between August and November 2001, and provided links to about 170 free music files on servers outside Norway, the ruling said.
Actually Google isn't the only company with an accidental name, if any of you know what a Ski-Doo is (snowmobile), a reporter who interviewed Joseph Armand Bombardier about his new invention was told its name was to be a Ski-Dog, but the reporter typo'ed it and named it a Ski-Doo, and Bombadier stuck with it to this day.
I, being a French-Canadian, don't see how this is flamebait. Shame on the mods. The article describes exactly what the parent said, babelfish and try to decipher it if you want. You may not understand what it says, but save the flamebait stick for actual flamebait. Also check the parent's past comments, they are fairly highly moderated.

Free beer, free dom (I know there isn't a space, more of a highlight). Like the whole GNU philosophy.

What you said is fine, but to be blunt excusing behaviour because others do it when it isn't right isn't right in the first place.
My suggestion:
Replace the one on the left with the one on the right.

I didn't read the specs off a site, I'm just going on what you posted

Not trying to be flamish, but that's what came into my head once I read this headline. It's a major policy shift.
Two words:
Bullshit Bingo

If you're a firefox user, there's an extension called "forecastfox" (formerly weatherfox), here.

Just kidding.
For those keeping track,
"IT IS ANTICIPATED EVENTUALLY THAT IBM WILL TRANSFER WORLD COMMUNITY GRID TO A NON-IBM OWNED WORLD COMMUNITY GRID ENTITY OR ANOTHER ENTITY"
This is from the license. Just something to watch for in the future if you like Big Blue (or don't like them) or are concerned about it.
An idea: maybe he's both, uses Roland Piquepaille to post, and rpiquepa to submit to keep his karma high.

Tee hee
Past story very much like this one.
I had forgotten the MSN beta search engine, so I just googled it...
