Someday, when I have the time and resources I will go to the headquarters of each of the companies in the world that make Adware.
I will find the CEO of those companies.
I will stand in front of them with a little cardboard sign made to look like a dialog box. The dialog box will read:
“WE HAVE DETECTED THAT YOU NEED TO BE PUNCHED IN THE NOSE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PUNCHED IN THE NOSE? [YES] [NO]”
I will follow them around and pester them with my dialog box until they finally press one of the buttons.
No matter which button they choose, I will punch them in the nose.
Hard.
Again and again.
Until they are dead.
And then I will say to their lifeless bodies:
“Would you like to uninstall me? TOUGH SHIT.”
Is that kind of like choosing between “death” or “boola-boola”?
“No, Waylon, you go on ahead.”
“Okay, hold my beer for me.”
You’re really from Chester, Georgia, aren’t you?
You southerners don’t make no sense to me sometimes, I reckon.
That’s probably because you’re thinking too hard. You have to kind of just let it wash over you.
That said, I have a handle on most Southerners. The ones I don’t are notable.
That’s not the same handle I’m faking being on, mind you.
Funny, I have a handle too!
Wanna see it?
Um, sure. Will there be any,er, flying off, though? Because if I need goggles or something, I’ll have to stop at the store first.
I don’t care what you’re advice is, I’m not letting THAT wash over me.
I beg your pardon?
I refer to whatever flies off Glenn’s handle, of course.
See here now, I can’t be responsible for everything.
And yet, your son is a Southerner. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
My son don’t make no sense to me almost all the time.
I just burst into hysterics while on the phone with the Coke guy.
Might I suggest Firefox as an alternative to your everyday browser?
With a little love you can avoid *almost* all ads.
I am now a Firefox user, as of five minutes ago.
Thank you ever so.
Welcome to the l33t!
Mozilla plus Adblock
Can make your pain go away.
No one has offered me a monkey to punch in months.
Ahhhhh.. Nirvania.
Re: Mozilla plus Adblock
I have Firefox now, then this Adblock will make me pain-free, you say?
Re: Mozilla plus Adblock
Sure cuts down on the pain. I use the main Mozilla branch, but Adblock should work the same for the Firefox branch.
Re: Mozilla plus Adblock
Done and done.
Monkeys Gone?
Have you rid your personal virtual castle of unwanted punchable primates?
Re: Monkeys Gone?
Monkey-free since 7/28/2004.
Thanks ever so.
Re: Monkeys Gone?
Nuke Anything, will rid you of just about *anything* that you might want to rid yourself of temporarily. The next time you view the page it’ll be back (or if you refresh) this can be fun too:

thats beautiful
But Ryan, I just researched one of those companies, and found that it’s a “leading provider of innovative advertising solutions.”
How can you not like that?
like this:
*exhudes hate*
Bwahahahahahahaha
I will give you a $10 donation if you do it. Just once.
Excellent. Once my legal fund hits $1M, I’m off to buy plane tickets.
Can I follow you with a video camera when you do it?
When word gets out, you’ll be the new messiah.
Re: Can I follow you with a video camera when you do it?
Yes, you may, and I’ll even mug for the cam as I deliver the final line.
Re: Can I follow you with a video camera when you do it?
Excellent!
I use AdAware (by Lavasoft) and a Norton firewall. I have the firewall set up to block all ports unless I override the setting. I also have it set up so that no application can access the internet without first asking permission.
Lastly, if you are a Windows user, you can make advertising domains “non gratis” on your computer by redirecting those domains to 127.0.0.1 (to a computer, that means “yourself”) in your hosts file. It sounds complicated, but it’s not. Google on “hosts file spam” and you’ll learn more. This has the added benefit of blocking ads, too.
And if anyone needs a good punching to death, it’s Bill Gates for selling a desktop/browser/mail client that is so susceptible to being taken over by bad people.
Funny, I don’t have any trouble with spyware or adware at all on my home computer.
I wonder why that would be?
I’ve only had this happen on my work computer, as well.
it only happens to my computer at school the one that is at my parents house ( i should say it is their computer) doesnt have this problem. but my own personal remedy, since everyone else is spouting theirs, is Spybot Search and destroy and Norton Internet Security. Works wonders.
It is a delight to know People What’s Got The Knowin’ and Doin’ of Many Things.
Perhaps you can apply for a job
