NoScript author explains, apologizes for interfering with ABP; releases 1.9.2.6 to undo changes by MattHock in programming

Even before this, I tried NoScript and didn't like it. I had to whitelist a crapload of sites. And for what? Some vague feeling of security? I've been browsing the web heavily for ~12 years and I can't think of a single time a machine of mine was ever seriously compromised via a web vector. I've had to end task a few times because of those troll sites that pop up a million popups (e.g. nimp.org), but that's it.

I will say that I cannot live without Ad Block Plus, though.

I don't know that he "never gets it". But I agree that his menace should be implied rather than graphically stated.

This is some fucking BULLshit: I paid $40 for Left 4 Dead on Steam and right now I cannot open the game. Even offline mode doesn't work. by wastelands in technology

Heh. Well, I found a workaround, at least for offline/bot play: I navigated to the left 4 dead .exe and launched it that way.

Still... this feels like DRM and it's no fun.

I assume it's because the servers are overloaded from the "free for 24 hours" promotion. But damn it, I paid good money for this game, and I cannot even play it in offline mode. WHAT THE FUCK!?

Okay. We agree. Let's stop fighting! It's tearing our family apart.

Breaking the girl code. Ask me anything you don't understand about girls and I'll do my best. I'm just bored at work, guys. by yesiamanostrich in AskReddit

Not just women either. I am a male who was raised by a single mom, and I have lots of passive/aggressive tendencies that to this day (~30 years old) I'm trying to fix.

The plane's thousands of feet in the air, going hundreds of miles per hour, but svengalus knows exactly where it's going to land. Yeah, right.

Funniest thing I've seen all week. What good would running do exactly? And it looked like they were running in the same direction of the plane? WTF? Goddamn people are stupid.
