In a post FriendFeed world, you'll need to get in touch with me some way. Here's where you can find me: http://www.google.com/profile...
Have decided I'm boycotting any website that still does pop up advertising. I'm looking DIRECTLY at you snopes.com.

I find it really frustrating, too. I broadly support web sites supporting themselves with ads, but I resent ads that are offensive in type or content. Though with Chrome, I thankfully see few of the pop-up ads :)

Send them a complaint. They're still a good site.
- Tanath
@Tanath This is their response to complaints about pop unders: Q: Why do you code your pop-unders to defeat pop-up blocking software? A: We have nothing to do with the coding of advertisements; we simply reproduce the standard ad-serving code provided by the agencies who furnish advertising to our site. If you are still seeing pop-under ads despite having a pop-up blocker enabled, you should contact the manufacturer of the software you are using to see about obtaining an updated version.
- EricaJoy
Essentially they blame the problem on their advertisers and the users browser. Its poor form and they refuse to fix it.
- EricaJoy
Okay, other pet peeve: abdicating responsibility. I'd have (slightly) more respect for them if they said, "Yeah, we know. We hate popups / popunders, too. But we're really hurting financially and desperate times call for desperate measures..."

A Brazilian university student that was nearly lynched because of her microdress is now being blamed for the uproar and has been expelled. - http://digg.com/world_n...
Anika liked this
"A bit over two weeks ago, a student was almost lynched by her colleagues for using a short dress in her university, Uniban, in the São Paulo region. She even had to be escorted by the military police when leaving the room where she was hiding during the incident. This issue has gained huge proportions in Brazil, but apparently the international media hasn't really commented about it. Now the university published a note saying that it was all her fault and decided to expel her. "

Sigh.
- Derrick
"In an interview to the journalist Josias de Souza's blog, the Uniban administration's layer, Décio Lencioni Machado, says that the student 'always liked to provoke the boys. The problem was not the clothing, but the way of behaving, of speaking, of crossing her legs, of walking'." Ah because everything a woman does is to elicit male reaction, surely.

"It would create an exchange where small businesses and the uninsured could buy coverage, including a government-run public option. The abortion amendment bars anyone who gets federal subsidies from abortion coverage. The public option plan does not cover elective abortion."

Is it just me here? People who can't afford their own health insurance can't get abortions? So they have babies which end up being a) more expensive and b) creating more people who need government health coverage. Or c) unsafe behind the alley abortions come back with a vengeance.

Let's yank public healthcare from the House and the Senate until they're willing to let us have what they have.

didn't know such a sub-domain existed
- Holden Page
I've used the draft version for ages... to the extent that I use blogger. Wordpress.com seems much better. Blogger can't even handle folds properly. On the other hand, blogger lets you put javascript things like the Friendfeed gadget, etc., while wordpress.com doesn't.
