Yes, the reason I started posting using the anonymous profile is that I was tired of having to log into my blogger acct. everytime I posted.

I refuse to allow 3rd party cookies on my box and don't allow page redirects on my browser so blogger goes crazy when I post and doesn't keep me logged in.

I scrupulously leave ONLY the Blogger and Google cookies on my box and then close up for everything else, and they no longer make me "uncloak" to make a comment, so you might be able to stay logged in now. I don't know if the page redirect thing is a prob for this, but if the cookies were the only thing, you could probably keep the third party cookies off now AND stay signed in. That's only been for the last couple months.

If I want to go somewhere that demands cookies, I use a separate browser that is set to wipe them when I close the browser, and I close the browser after I look at whatever it is I want to see. I also dump the flash cookies everybody's using every couple minutes. Some pages have mastered a "cute" trick of bypassing your settings and planting their cookies anyway... it might be that they hang in some folder until you open your cookies again, but I catch them when I reboot and go to put the Blogger and Google cookies back.

There's other stuff, and I try to keep current. If you don't have a way to wipe flash cookies, there's a link somewhere on my sidebar... for Mac people... but they do it for PC people too.

Fuckers.

Yea, firefox has an addon called
BetterPrivacy that I use. Wipes the LSO cookies as soon as I close the browser.

Another good one for firefox is Flash Block.

Stops all flash apps. on sites and only plays them when you click on them.

I stay on Safari, and use Firefox for the cookie dumping gig... so will use yer links to make that better. Apple is being slow to make Snow Leopard and the aps that work on it as impervious to this bullshit as their older OS versions. I've decided they are suffering from the downturn and WILL get to it when they have the manpower to spread over it again. I also stop going to sites that do that shit to me, no matter how much I otherwise like them. EVEN if their purposes are not dishonorable, ONLY wanting to make better decisions for their sites, or trying to not be robbed of ad revenue, I call bullshit on it all.

This is the road to turning the tubes into everything wrong in our world... the road to "content providers" getting fleeced and so selling out and fleecing US. Leave it completely free, take off ALL the snooping shit, charge a flat fee for ads, FUCK DEMOGRAPHICS.

I know, I know, don't bother to say it....

I had a fantasy of finding some hacker genius to set me up to be completely impervious to all this shit, ANY snooping, but decided to just muddle through by being my ordinarily compulsively obstinate toward this action self until such time as I might actually have the wherewithal to get SERIOUS.

I was being driven insane by the stupid Bing popups every time you moused over linked words. Couldn't figure out how to stop it in Firefox until I went to a tech chat room.

I use the add-on "Add Block Plus". In that you set a rule to block IntelliTXT.

Badabing - no more Bing popups!

It turns out they are not Microsoft Bing, but rather an ad service that the web designers are using which accesses Bing search.

Yup , four essential add-ons for firefox...

BetterPrivacy
FlashBlock
AddBlock Plus
NoScript

All of them are very flexible and user friendly and won't break your browser (or even slow it down) just makes the shit bounce off it :p

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
