Adblock developer offers 'please unblock me' tag to sites

Thumb Down

freetard?

i can understand the label for naughty people downloading free movies and music, but blocking ad's?!?

I am not stealing anything by blocking the shitty ad's that infect most of the net (this site included!). Seriously, find some other way to make money rather than trying to force me into reading spam.

didnt everyone decided that spam is bad, no matter what level of intrusiveness you care to assign it? grrr

I'd just like to know where she get's the impression that "young people" could give a fuck about her opinions either way.

that about sums it up, although its a bit of stretch to call me a young person anymore :)

Me, and about half the people i went to uni with and am still in contact with have been doing the odd pill every month or two for the last 10 years. I really have to be sad that its such a terrible crime to smile, chat to strangers, be full of happiness and love for a few hours.

Oh no, wait. It's ruined my life and turned me into a raving (come on its a good pun for wednesday afternoon) addict who mugs old ladies to feed my habit. Just dont tell the big corporate i work somewhat hard for.

/facepalm

Virgin Media opens bandwidth choke for 50Mb launch

Thumb Down

well

switched to virgin about 2 months ago, the most i have ever had from my 20Mb line is 11, QoS is shocking compared to my old provider. vpn during the day crawls, disconnects and is generally very unhappy. General use in evenings is anything between 2 and 10, very rarely over 3 or 4.

I was too lazy to wait 2 weeks for ukonline to setup in new home, wont make that mistake again..

@ all the I'll refuse to hand over my camera remarks By Lee

Sorry Lee,

but that is a terrible attitude. As soon as you stop fighting for your rights then you are fucked. do you really want to live in a country where the people are too scared to stick up for themselves and meekly roll over and accept whatever bullshit the government comes up with?

and sorry for sounding so aggressive, its not aimed at you but it goes some way to hide the dispair that fills me when i think about what is happening to the uk.

really. not. good. :(

so...

let me get this straight, this guy is a) for real, b) in charge of changing the law in this wonderful country, and c) not just winding ppl up with his insane babble.

i especially like this bit:

Yet we have bandit DVDs and CDs and these are closely associated with the same gangs of people trafficking in the drugs trade, and the illegal movement or arms - these are nexuses of criminal activity that fit together. There's a raft of activities that are very damaging.

presumably he see's everyone who downloads the odd ep of heroes as part of the nexus of evil too. I would be laughing hard if i wasnt so shocked that someone could actually believe this stuff. insane, really really insane just how clueless our government are about anything really.

Well off to buy a new tin foil hat.
