Filterset.g allows a subscription system, effectively allowing someone else to 'train' your popup blocker. Of course, you can always add your own preferred blocks to it. I even occasionally block other, non-ad images in order to 'fix' webpage layouts, greasemonkey style:D
Narbacular Drop solved this by having two initial portals in existence. It was a matter of relocating them. I suppose Portal's solution will be to have a singular Portal be just a swirling void that spits you back out immediately, or knowing Valve's sense of humor, drops you into the nearest bottomless pit with a humourous message informing you that you have "failed to take into account rudimentary portal physics."
You could've stopped after the AdBlock comment. Flash animation is actually quite popular in its niche communities, and I'm certainly not uninstalling it, or fully disabling Java or JavaScript. I prevent JavaScript doing specific things (thanks Firefox), but small, useful Javascript widgets are just that: harmless.
You could even class all that under the infamous "time-shifting" laws...

I'm 18, so still technically a child by some crazy countries' definitions. I grew up with a Gameboy, a SNES, a Megadrive (Genesis for you yanks) and the cardboard boxes they came in. As much as I love tech (as reading/. proves) I still know the value of other games. Just because technology increases doesn't mean fun develops a lower technology limit. A few boxes goes a long way...
The concept of "invisible light" is bad enough, though. Really, if you can't see it, and you can't percieve it's direct effects without fancy equipment...
Didn't need to call me a dumbass... you just confirmed my second point. God damn, those are some fat bastards. And I'm glad America still has free ERs, it's hard to track where it's slid to in its descent to totalitarianism.
your sarcasm/humor was lost in the internets. Perhaps you need to put your posts at a higher encoding to make sure you can tell the difference between serious questions and jokes?
Are you really so brainwashed against being social that you refuse to help people who NEED medical attention but can't afford it, at the risk of a FEW freeloading jackasses? Or is it that your country is just filled with freeloading jackasses? I can't tell which.
I'm thinking you're right, but not just for 'personal info' like colour scheme, birthday (which take up >1kb), but also sensitivity and callibration. If I take my wiimote over to my friend's house, I want it to remember my swing style. Maybe I'm a newb who likes insane, overzealous motions, and my friend is a pixel-perfect accuracy sniper; we do NOT want our settings confused!
W3C compliance, as I've recently discovered, doesn't mean working and displaying webpages. Coding to XHTML transitional, not a particularly tough feat I admit, ended up in bizzaro land for IE users. Fine on Opera, fine on Firefox. No menu or navigation on IE. W3C compliance can be ignored in favor of, y'know, the other 80% of the internet.
(I ended up achieving both goals by changing my CSS design outright. Damn you IE!)
This is the field I hope to enter in three years time, after getting through university. It's shocking how many games drag on towards the end, and even worse the ubiquitous sequels made each year with absolutely no attempts at improvement... One game that suprised me time after time was Advance Wars (1, 2, and DS), each time introducing new and unique strategy elements and tactics, improved AI, improved graphics, and yet retaining it's core gameplay and character. Even GTA dos this well, despite my other critisism of it. I hesitate to mention EA's endless flow of carbon-copy sequels...

I wish Google would do conversions for football fields and libraries of congress....

The Slashdot Effect
To mass flames, yes! One hundred servers high
Nerds gettin' loose y'all gettin' down on the root - Do you hear?
(the geeks are flaming) Users were screamin' - out of control
It was so entertainin' - when the server started to explode
I heard somebody say
Burn, baby burn! - Cisco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that motherboard
Burn, baby burn! - Cisco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that motherboard
Burnin'!
I think Valve are single-handedly keeping PC gaming alive right now...
What kinda nonsense theory is that? My Intel Core Duo LOVES gaming, and the nVidia card that came with it likes HDR lighting, too.

Make sure you watch it with it. It's extremely well-written comedy. :D

It doesn't. I think of them in the same way as I think of -1 Kelvin.

PC ain't dead. There's a small valve keeping it alive. :D
That given, the consoles have a long life in them yet. Wii60 is the way forward; power and innovation, hand in hand.

Slashdot's trolls don't turn to stone at sunrise.
They either pull the curtains or go to sleep.
