Now everyone want's to become a millionaire by selling advertising.
I tend to visit sites that are more old-school. I don't mind banner ad's in
the least, but this "push it in their face until they cry uncle" horseshit
just doesn't cut it with me. To me, it's the same as that bozo that calls
you at home in the middle of dinner, wanting to pedal life insurance or
something.

Waugh. That program is like killing mosquitos with a bazooka. I did
actually use it for a while; it's better than nothing, but having to
play the "control key" game whenever I launch a new IE window got very
annoying (almost as annoying as the popups :) In addition, the popups
still were created; PopupStopper just closed them quickly (so they were
still distracting).
I now push Proxomitron (http://www.spamblocked.com/proxomitron/download.html)
It takes a small bit of configuring (and blocks way too many things by
default), but it's extremely powerful and very "forget it's even
running" once it's configured properly.

And people wonder why there are so many anti-capitalists around! :-)

It probably depends on how many IE windows you tend to open. My taskbar
is typically littered with at least a dozen.
Then it's simple - start your own website! What's the problem?
Oh, you can't afford the time? You don't have the resources? You feel
others should sacrifice their time and effort to maintain a website and pay
for the bandwidth, just not you?
What really annoys me is sites using Java script to launch new windows when
you wanna view screenshots etc - I use ad and script blocking software which
means none of these stupid javascript using sites actually work by
default.... There's no need for javascript to view god damn full size pics
from thumbnails!!
