The strange thing I've noticed is that I get the problem when I run Firefox in Windows, but I never get the problem when I run Firefox in Linux. I don't know why, but it just works out that way for me...
If all / most of us geeks out here would forward our daily recieved spam to the DMA would that be enough to possibly educate them on the policies of opt-out marketing? Or would it be viewed as a form of DDOS (bad karma)?
As long as it knocks out the DMA, karma be damned.

AbiWord already is in Yiddish, apparently.
MBAs are for dogs. I's rather pursue a PhD in Physics. Either that or a mouse on a string.
I think I'm going to have to get a new username.
