Rock you like a Hurricane Sale

I bought a $10 disk at Wal-Mart that's supposed to block pop-ups. It does a pretty good job of it.

The Proxomitron does an excellent job, and it is 100% free. Firefox with the AdBlock extension also does a good job against invasive ads, and it is also 100% free.

It's kind of a vicious circle isn't it? You start blocking banners and pop-ups, and so the advertisers bounce back with new and more evasive ways to get their ads to show up and then you get new programs to block them and then the ad guys come up with something even worse...

Going back to the original subject, I'm just surprised no radio stations down here played that old Scorpions tune, "Rock You Like A Hurricane". I haven't heard that tune in a long time. I'll have to search for my Best of Scorpions cd and play it.
