2001 called, they want their irritating advertising tactic back.
Ever since Google launched Adwords, non intrusive plain text ads are the
way to go.
And seriously, every modern browser (IE7+ and every single version of
Firefox ever) have had popup blocking built in, so why is this even a
problem anymore?

bathtub to different levels, approximating the rotational velocities,
measuring the vortex diameters, noting the rotational direction, and
calculating forces (...like I said in an earlier post, I make a point of
being easily amused...;^)...)

You're probably right. I'm sure it was just another drive-by and
hopefully it won't be back.

The poster asked a question and instead of correcting him and
answering it or just not replying you acted like a typical asshole.

So you were called what you acted like and now you're crying.

Any such blocking would be the function of the browser, not the OS, as
Richard alluded to by stating it as not being a function of XP.

....then you threw a hissy-fit and alienated any possible helpers.

Nice going!

Nice mouth!! It doesn't exactly make anyone want to help you out



Nobody did, when I posted a curteous question, stupid.


.........and
AFAIN, IE7 certainly does block pop-ups........but I primarily use Firefox
and it DEFINITELY does block them via the use of "AdBlock"........which is
a small program you add to the browser.

Now.......don't be rude or I shall be forced to get the bar of Sunlight
Soap out and shove it down your throat!! (G)


OK, I'll politely tell you to lose 40 pounds and maybe you'll be able to
attract a new girlfriend, if you use the soap to decrease the smell.

If you shave your legs and your upper lip, maybe you could even get a guy,
who knows.

correct answer, and a few more later.

Thnak you and your mother, too.

The poster got his answer from Richard:

And chose to reply like this:

I leave you to deduce who's the actual asshole here.

Look above. The first 2 lines were in reply to your question - a
perfectly correct and precise answer.
Look now at your reply below that, and then go figure why any one should
want to help you in future.
