  1. Re:He hit the nail on the head on Spyware for Firefox Coming This Year? · · Score: 1

    I'm a frequent Drudge visitor and Firefox lover. The popups come when you click on a link, rather than load the page. Firefox allows popups when lniks are clicked because it's assuming that you <b>want</b> a new window.

    Here's the relevant code from the website:

    <noscript>
    <a href="http://a.tribalfusion.com/i.click?site=Drudg eReportcom&adSpace=ROS&size=468x60&requestID=17767 68160" target=_blank>
    <img src="http://a.tribalfusion.com/i.ad?site=DrudgeRep ortcom&adSpace=ROS&size=468x60&requestID=177676816 0" border=0 alt="Click Here"></a>
    </noscript>

    Yeah, I don't like it either :/

    It'll bug you about it not being a trusted site though.

  5. Re:What about support workers on IT Salaries to Grow 0.5% in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, I heard the new apartment-style housing is being funded by salary cutbacks in IT Services. Hiring the two new analysts is just a red herring ;)

    It's not Christmas on /. until a posting fued(sic) starts about spelling corrections.

  7. Firefox passes the test on Four New Unpatched Windows Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if many people have tried it already, but I loaded the exploit page with Firefox.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

    It took a few seconds to load on my p3 600mhz, but it got there just fine.

  8. They looked for the dirt on 'Something' Cleaning Mars Rover · · Score: 5, Funny

    When NASA scientists had the rover examine its solar panels for dirt, it replied, "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along."

  9. Which one? on Reviewing Anti-Spam Offerings · · Score: 1

    All of my RBLs that I have tried end up not doing me much. Usually I try to stack 2 or 3 of them on qmail. Do you have any recommendationson which RBL(s) I should be using? Thanks.

  10. IT Department? on Reviewing Anti-Spam Offerings · · Score: 1

    No one has an IT department willing to support it? Our university recently implemented SpamAssassin for the 20k+ email accounts. I'm sure there are corporations out there of our size that have a larger IT budget than us. Although Miami tends to lean towards open source more often than not (SquirrelMail, SpamAssassin, PHP, etc.). I'm glad they're spending money on enhancing existing projects than giving it to some company because they have a customer support line.

  11. Re:Brown's been saying this and acting on it on Penn State Tells Students To Ditch IE · · Score: 2, Funny

    Our IT Services Support Desk uses Firefox as one of the last steps in our browser troubleshooting.

    The interesting thing is that I have had several people call us this semester asking how to uninstall Internet Explorer. I usually give them a quick rant. Today, I told someone asking me the same question to go watch Antitrust.

  12. Re:Maybe they added spam filtering? on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 1

    I have had very bad luck with RBLs. It seems like whenever I pick some, they either don't work or their service shuts down. Any recommendations?

  18. Parent has merit on Nintendo Apologizes to SuicideGirls · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What kind of business letter starts with "Hello,"?

    No contact information provided for the SG owner to contact customer service with the system of his choice

    Most people scan in their letters as JPGs or PDFs, not retype them

    Attorneys usually send e-mails to supplement a cease and decist letter sent via mail. SG says they only got an e-mail.

    I could go on, but I think it's apparent now that SG did stage this.

    It's true we sold the mark to XM a month or two ago. It wasn't that important a mark for us and they were willing to pay, so we said what the heck, more money for product development.
