anyone know where i can find a squid plugin to use this site to download content?
also i live in south-africa, and on a 5k/s dailup i use adblock and bannerfilter already but i block almost all the images down to *logo* *line* *arrow* *spacer* ect..
african government officials only care about themselves, even in our 'democratic' new south-africa. the ministers steal, it gets exposed, and the ANC will tell the investigaters to quit it, and that that will be the end of it.
developing countries will only develop with stable political and economic environments. ie, give the colonies back to britain, since all the african countries but south-africa went to waste since their independance..
I pay R90/$15 a month for my Internet subscription, if makers of ads subsidised my Internet connection they would have a right to force me to view their ads, but they don't subsidise me.
Also the chances I will spend money internationally is very,very small, the exchange rate is too high and bank costs are insane. I'm not part of the market the producers target, so why should I be subjected to ads?
On my 5k/s dailup images take ages to load, so I've installed bannerfilter on squid and adblock on firefox. Images with names like arrow,line,spacer,logo ect are blocked./. loads with no images by default. Text ads are acceptable, but not 200k sized images.
Consumers have become jaded, I buy products become they are expensive, I reason that it represents quality, I don't buy goods become the huge jpg impresses me.
I was forced offline by my parents for three days for anti-social behaviour (not talking to them) and I ended up extremly depressed by the 3rd day since I couldn't distract myself with information. wikipedia,./ , http://www.livescience.com/ and http://www.physorg.com/ . when I got back on the net I read everything I missed, got new anime episodes ect.. Right now I'm browsing, playing Dune2 with dosbox, watching an episode of Friends, chatting and compiling wine.. and I feel happy.. sometimes I add an anime with subtitles so I read that also. Thing is when I'm out with friends more I don't need those things, IAD is just a sympton of being alone+bored.

Did Microsoft infiltrate /. to ask us nix-users how to better the Longhorn interface?
