Professor Oct's weekly lecture #1: Removing pop-ups.

Mornin' Class,

Today we'll be learning how to destroy dastardly pop-ups and put two fingers up to Cap'n Capitalism.

For today's class you will require the following:
A rubber Band
Two yards of electrical tape
A small tangerine of no-more than 3" diameter
A comfortable place to sit
A small bottle of vintage brandy and possibly some expensive chocolates.

Step the first, Open your "Windows Explorer" doo-dad and hoppity-skip down to the folder "WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ECT" here you should see a file called "hosts" (or Daddy's dirty Asian pornography collection based on how truly fucked up your family is) with Notepad.

Step the second, copy and paste this list into the (should be empty) file:

Step the third, save the file, close and enjoy a life-time of surfing the internet 95% free of advertising and irritating pop-ups.

Step the fourth, sit down, eat the tangerine and send the Brandy and Chocolates to me, possibly with an attached note saying how very thankful you are and how I'm free to enjoy your Daughter/Son/Brother/Sister next time I'm passing through.

That concludes today's seminar. Next week we shall be studying the problem of Scissor people and what kind of traps we can use to combat this unholy menace.

*gathers up books, brandy, chocolates and moist female underwear and leaves*

 

All those people with Macs can send their chocolate and brandy to console me because I can't use Oct's little trick. I'll just have to stick with SubSilver or deal with popups the old fashioned way (apple + w).

 

What do you expect when you use a computer that doesn't run on software from the world's biggest, and therefore most trustworthy, company?

 

I didn't expect anything, I didn't want it. My mother bought it because she 'neeeded' it for her job. Due to this fact, it is the only one hooked up to the internet. Luckily, I managed to save the PC from being chucked and it's still safe in the basement for me to play Arcanum on. Of course it's a disappointment that nothing else will run besides Aracanum, but that's what you get with Pentium IIs.

 

ah the Mac', to gaming what cyanide is to a respiatory enzyme...

 

Thanks for the info! I hope it works. :smile:

 

Try something Else

Or... you could try something even better, something so awsomely cool that I completely forgot what it was.

Oct's Method relies on a lack of mad proxy action.
I would advise using Opera or Mozilla, both of which come with a popup blocker.

 

Indeed. Between Netscape and Pop-Up Stopper, I never get any popups. Zero hassle.

 

Smart trick, Octillicus, but you have to constantly edit that file. Just changing the names of all the ad servers would render it useless.

 

*nods* But it works fine for now. That's what's important.

 

Lotta free time eh?

I'd personally just rather "X" them out. Unless you're looking at porn most pop-ups close rather easily and with no follow up.
