I use the Broken Links link to notify of these kind of abuses of CodeProject. Maybe that link could be renamed to provide a more generic use. Michael CP Blog [^]

Shouldn't they be wearing those little rubber finger stalls ? :doh: The tigress is here :-D

You have to compliment their innovation in finding names for themselves.

I started to use ad-blockers (google bar and spybot) when advertisers started to use those full/ half screen flash/whatever animations and pop-up windows. I guess that advertises wanted to get more reaction and visibility for their ads... in my case reaction was negative: no more ads. I don't have nothing against banners like the Code Project is using (and I can still see code project's banners - and I have clicked them several times). But when you need to actully do something to remove ad, it is starting to be really annoying. Yes, I think that it is unethical to remove those ads that doesn't need extra actions from user. Googles ads are excelent: They don't use much bandwith, and they don't use much area in my small screen. Instead being annoying, they might be informative in some rare cases.

Yes: don't use binary distributions of free code available on the web, unless it comes from the big ones (IBM, Sun, MS, Oracle, etc). Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

Don't know about you but the Java developer seems to have shifty eyes. I'd say him! "To his dog, every man is Napoleon"

The original site was written using VB and Java, and once we reached about 3000 members no one could access it effectively in the time one could reasonably expect a dialup connection to stay connected. That's when Bob revealed the secrets of ASP and DHTML to Chris, earning him lifelong banishment from his home planet, but allowing Chris and friends to completely rewrite the site for efficient access by the masses, even the 437 people using Netscape at the time. The new site went active on July 6, 2000, so no one had any record of previous activity (which is probably for the best, as the statute of limitations hasn't run out yet). Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

So? They sell software not hardware. Besides, why compete in a crowded market where the profit margins are low?

I'm still amazed it didn't show hits for Foghorn Leghorn.
