Rant Thread: Things that have ticked you off today

[Charlie Huang]

OK, I'm getting rather pissed off by these silly pop-ups that seem to be invading everywhere! I got a pop-up stopper way back, which worked, but then a few months ago, these new "Ceres - part of the ABI network" ones seem to appear out of nowhere, and immune to everything. Before, only certain sites were affected, but now it seems to be appearing everywhere, even on this site where it was free of them until last week!

Grrr!

Charlie,
I agree -- those popups are a real aggravation. I have popups blocked in both my browers and have also set them up to not accept any cookies of any kind. So far, things are OK. Even with cookies set off, my Lavasoft spyware detector finds a few, non-threating objects on my machine when I run it every week.

Regards,
Paul Valente
