Links lead to http://www.linux.com/feature/deleted which just cycles and never loads. |

Yep, it must be. I am going to delete it from the newswire.. Thanks for the heads up. :-) Scott |

I still get the article properly at http://www.linux.com/feature/116353 |

Quoting:I still get the article properly at [HYPERLINK@www.linux.com]And I still don't. I went to linux.com and clicked on the story links there. All the links lead to "deleted" for me. I sometimes wonder if these sites have somehow managed to determine that I'm running privoxy, which is sending their banner ads to the bit bucket, so they're attempting to punish me. Listen up, nitwits. Anyone going to the trouble of running privoxy is not someone who's inclined to buy from banner ads, not in a million years. All you're doing is minimizing your usefulness in the grand scheme of things. There are plenty of sites out there that don't assault me with obnoxious advertising, and by obnoxious I mean Flash animations, reloading pages to show me a new ad and ignoring where I was in the page, etc., etc. Rot in hell, linux.com. |

I saw it last night, and I can see it now. |

I just tried it again, this time in w3m, and it worked (and w3m is going through privoxy as well). There's lots of ways to avoid obnoxious advertising. :-) Firefox bug? I guess I'll have to retract that slap at linux.com too. Drat. |

>I guess I'll have to retract that slap at linux.com too. Don't be too quick!! May just be a bug in their anti-tqk code that lets you in from w3m. |

Quoting:May just be a bug in their anti-tqk code that lets you in from w3m."Sir, tqk isn't seeing the banner ads!" "What?!? How?!!!" "Privoxy, sir." "Well, we'll fix that." Clickety, clickety, click. "Sir, he uses w3m too! He's getting our content FOR NOTHING!" Sob, sob, whimper, whimper. "Oh bother. Piglet, lock on with photon torpedos and fire at will. Tigger, meet me in transporter room two." |

I use "The Hosts File Project" http://hostsfile.mine.nu Works quite well, and no disguises what so ever. Don't use it on a machine that is running an HTTP server. |

I use AdBlock + Filetrset.G updater and I never get ads on Linux.com. |
| Aladdin_Sane Jul 11, 2007 2:11 PM EDT |
Privoxy+TOR+FlashBlock. There are ads on WWW? |
| techiem2 Jul 11, 2007 2:14 PM EDT |
Adblock+ + NoScript :) |
