    looking a little bare?

    just turned on the adblocking filters for konqueror, and the forum's homepage is starting to look bare

    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    You mean there's supposed to be something else there?!

    That's how the whole internet looks to me. I'm over-zealous with Adblock rules. Anything like */ad/*, *.ad.*, */ads/* etc has been blocked. And the usual few crappy domains like doubleclick.net, fastclick.net and jamster. It's handy to kill the odd script too.

    I know what you mean, I use links, (not with -g), and I have javascript disabled so I don't really get ad's, plus, its amazingly fast, even on tor, to load pages because of no pictures

    Plus it works in CLI AND GUI, which is great

    And it is secure...

    but deadmanwalking, and bigtomrodney, its nice not to be advertised to all of the time.
