...but, yay! I think I'll go install it right away... And, done!

Nice. I like it.

That other link posted was javascript so all I saw was a black window

Come on Stan, soften a bit and turn on javascript... Surely these
days it must give you pain on so many sites, they are not likely
to be thoughtfully un-dependent on it, only a few website makers
come to this church here...

Yes, I realised this when Spartanicus (God), said about the frame
and posted about it. The point I am making Ed, is this. You are
awake and sleeping at all the wrong hours. It is very
inconvenient to me that you lot are asleep when I sometimes want
to chat.

Yeah, I know. It's this pesky Internet thingie. Feels like we're all
together but it turns out the world actually is kinda large! ;-)

In this case, popup a js alert with the decimal and hex values of the
colors. But I see this has been covered in another part of the
thread.

True, but I don't mind letting a business know that they have lost
this customer because of thier site that demands that I let my
defenses down. I don't browse with scripting enabled and I rarely get
viruses or spyware.

I'm not opposed to enabling scripting when I need to like when grading
javascript assignments (which I no longer need to do [see sig]).

I browse with scripting enabled and I rarely get viruses or spyware. I
just don't use IE.

I browse with scripting enabled and I rarely get viruses or spyware. I
just don't use IE.

I also browse with scripting enabled, and I haven't had any problems
since 2003 when something nasty got to my hosts file.

I think these are what make me safe:
1. AVG Free and run it every night.
2. Spybot Search and Destroy and run it every Saturday.
3. StartUp Monitor (great little program keeps programs like Adobe from
running at startup) <http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml>
4. Hosts file from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm, you get a
lot of 404 adverts (but I love that because I changed my 404 to read
"Doh! The web site cannot be found!")
5. Spyware Guard <http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html>,
silently blocks your browser from certain sites - works for IE and FF.
6. I use Opera almost exclusively.

Personally, I simply don't let client-side script run in IE and only allow
a limited subset in Opera & FireFox.

Interesting - how many workstations do you run that lot on?

I've looked at the hosts file replacement before - can't be bothered with
deploying to all machines. When I get a supply of curcular tuits I'll
build a routine to gen local zone files from that hosts list.

Can someone explain just how having javascript enabled could deliver a virus or
spyware? I understand that ActiveX in IE is more dangerous, but isn't
javascript's ability to be "malicious" limited to doing annoying things to your
browser windows?

That's pretty clever. If you click on the screen it gives you the colour
values. I use Paint Shop Pro for that, where you can pick any area of a
graduated colour band and get the values.

Talking of the (spit) Inland (spit) Revenue ... there's serious debate (in
th UK) about parking 'fines' being in reality a revenue stream - a regular
'hot topic' to use the modern idiom.

I'm sure we all put them down as expenses on our returns only for the
accountant to credit them out because fines cannot be tax deductable -
however were it to be successfully argued that these costs are a useful
revenue stream (for the recipient) then we have grounds to insist they are
seen as such on our tax returns.

Note: I hate the f*cking idiotic games one has to play when dealing with
these clowns.

Interesting. Not meaning to be a goody-two-shoes, and not living in a

The inland revenue would probably say that if it's a necessary expense
required to conduct your business, then it's an allowable expense. I
suppose you could make an argunebt that it is,

Note: I hate the f*cking idiotic games one has to play when dealing

Yep.

...I don't get parking fines!

Parking is probably my second largest expense on cabling jobs (without the
fines) - certainly in the top 5.

There are tradesmen (painters, electricians etc.) that live near me that
won't consider work in 'London'. I take a more pragmatic view and simply
add £100 per estimated day - seems to cover travel and parking ok.

The inland revenue would probably say that if it's a necessary expense
required to conduct your business, then it's an allowable expense. I

Fines (whatever that actually means) are specifically excluded by
legislation. The question is are they really 'fines' or simply another
stealth tax. One for the barristers.

I'm about ten miles from the city centre, in a town. I've always seen
Glasgow as a different place.

I would certainly claim parking as an expense. Parking charges, as
opposed to fines.

Interesting - how many workstations do you run that lot on?

Just me, and any other person who is willing to let me install the stuff.
I have a little USB drive that I carry around with me with all the files
on it.

I've looked at the hosts file replacement before - can't be bothered
with deploying to all machines. When I get a supply of curcular
tuits I'll build a routine to gen local zone files from that hosts
list.

The hosts file replacement isn't for everybody. There are a few sites
that I can't go to, for example, a lot of the top sponsored links in
Google, but I can select the link, copy and paste it into my browser, if
I want to go to the trouble (rarely do).

The best part is seeing all those ads replaced with my 404 page. I love
that!
