i get on to my microsoft msn, and one of its in-frame sponsors pop up and blocks half my msn window untill i click it away, to which it instantly pops up again a second time :D
THANK YOU, MICROSOFT!

They do it 'cause they love you. :zoinks:

if there is one thing in the universe, that most of all pushes my atheistic mind towards a religious mindset, its microsoft and computers.
it seems so deliberate.
sometimes its so well timed too.
sometimes a computer error will coordinate even with something completely unrelated, like my cat about to tilt something over, or people calling,
it just knows

Indeed it does know, and it demands your attention and submission! :2thumbsup:

You need you some PeerBlock and add the Spyware and Adware lists to your filterset. Perhaps block them on HTTP as well.
-
it wasnt an actual popup, thats what i considered "ironic"
it was a "legitimate" sponsor of ms msn, but that "popped up", as in, grew out of its frame on mouse-over.
"legally" its probably all a-okay, its technically not a popup, but behaves exactly like one, while being endorsed by microsoft 8)
-
There's plenty of tools out there to stop MSN ads.
-
Have you tried downloading a-patch for msn? You can block these annoying pesky ads that way.
-
How about trying aMSN? It's an open-source alternative to MSN which works pretty much the same way and has no ads.

I have used peerblock for quite a while

Paper and pencil. Crossword and other puzzles. Physical books. Radio. There are lots of less frustrating options to the computer. Liberate yourself from the tyranny of the computer.

But Your Majesty! How else can we all communicate with each other? :o

Nah, too slow. Nothing beats the internet! :headbang2:

I've actually tried using that, I loved it but never really felt the same as the official client.
Good for when my msn goes down.

i still cant afford macintosh. the thing i hate about windows is it seems to freeze up all the time, and then i have to open the task manager to get things working right again
-
windows is like a long term investment
you pay them a certain money, they haaaaaand you the product
but they never quite let go
and so your holding it, and theyre holding it, and your sortof remain there in the store, trying to leave w what you bought. but you cant.
-
I can quite easily do that. Format HD = Install different OS. Basic computer shit.
Sadly my experience with Windows didn't make me consider alternatives. It runs quite well for me. :orly:
-
my windows runs quite well too, and i never felt like i needed to change either.
the annoyances are minor, but consistent.
such as the updates. i turned them off now, so theyre not a problem, but they still make me want to kick their face in
its a matter of principle! :I
-
Then why stick with it if it's "a matter of principal"? If you're really sick of businesses being businesses, get linux and hypocritically stick it to the man.

getting anything requires effort.
:b
i find that quite obvious, its a matter of weighing pros and cons and such. im not gonna be some sort of fast paced alpha-man just to please you. i have my own life. i get annoyed by stuff, i comment on it, but that doesnt mean - in any way - that its up to me to fix it.
in fact, thats one of the things that annoy me the most, lazy fucks from another side of the world telling me to "do something about it instead of complaining"
so, what have you done about the injustices of the world?
or am i to understand you never complain?
dont answer, you are captain action jackson! nothing gets past you, without being handled with ACTION - LIKE A MAN!
-
:'(
This lazy fuck manages to get stuff done without excessive whini.. whoops, I mean "venting".
:zoinks:
As for effort, installing Linux distros like Ubuntu takes VERY little effort.

:'(
HA-HA!
PWNT!
:zoinks:
-
As pwnt as your plumb after a good tug. That's pwnage.

Turn them back on or your machine will get pwned. Most updates are security patches.

We'll all live together at Balmoral. Lots of rooms and plenty of room outside to get away from each other if necessary. And PPK can have a shooting range, Parts has lots of space to acquire things, etc.

I am sorry to say this to all the Microsoft diehards, but Windows sucks so much, that when I use it my brain is in danger of leaking out of my fucking SKULL.
I have Mac at home, and it is better than valium, cocaine and a carton of beer put together.
Stupid crap arse Microsoft.
Loup
PS. I have had a VERY bad time with Windows lately.

You'd have to be on all those things to think that. This is how Mac users justify their overpriced purchase, buy imagining that Windows PCs crash all the time. They don't crash anymore than Macs or Linux based PCs do.
-
I don't particularly care much if people think what I use is crap. It works well for me. :laugh:

Good attitude to have, better than justifying your purchase based on how you think the competition sucks. Just like how Apple advertises their computers.
-
Not to mention Hackintoshes. Apple's biggest mistake was moving to Intel platforms to get better sales. Dumbasses! :zoinks:
-
The way I see it, no machine or OS is perfect. OSX can just as easily crash over the most silliest of things (my example, crashing on Photoshop, kernel panic on Logic Pro etc.)
The people seem to forget that most computer problems stem from the USER ITSELF. People new to computers can accidentally wipe system files, forget to update drivers (or forget to install them altogether) etc. But because some people are that stubborn, they will blame anything but themselves when a problem arises/when their computer becomes slow - including the OS they use.
With a bit of common sense and patience, you can easily sort out 99% of those problems. If your computer is still acting like shit, only then you can say it's the computer's fault.
As for Apple, they prey on the fact that people don't have a clue. Like any company, they will exaggerate facts and make complete lies. When you think of it in that sense, Apple/Microsoft etc. are as bad as each other.
