The line for the train before Chinese new year's day
« on: May 02, 2010, 10:08:42 PM »
The line to get on the train in China in January, right around new year's.  Looks like fun, huh?

Those crowd pics remind me of the commotion in the dining room at the retirement home when we wheel out the salad bar! :rofl:

Sometimes I forget that I have the NoScript extension in firefox, so there's no way for a site to hang up my computer.

Ok, there's no way for the average phishing site to do it, if someone were really dedicated to trying to destroy your computer, they could achieve it, but that's beyond the realm of the average blogger.

Again, bets?

NoScript is only one layer of protection - if someone loads down their blog with 500+ images at 3000x2600 then yes, it's likely to hang your machine, at least for a few seconds.
