Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Going to a website and having the header load, and then sitting and waiting... and waiting... and waiting while the site tries to connect to ad.doubleclick.com . I can live with ads (especially with blockers) but sites that won't even load because the damned ad server is down or busy? I could scream. And sometimes do.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Do you use a firewall (software or hardware)? If not, why on Earth not? If so, configure it to block the address range 216.73.80.0 with a netmask of 255.255.240.0 (216.73.80.0 thru 216.73.95.255). That's the address range for doubleclick.com. Then when your browser tries to load anything from doubleclick it'll get an immediate failure, and you'll have neither the delay nor the ads.
I do (of course), and it is now configured per your instructions. Yay!
