Thanks. Now I remember why I (a few 5-star comments) have quit posting here. Too many dysfunctional assholes here to rip into you.

Oh shit, why do I bother? Anyhow, here's your explanation, anonymous pile of feces: You can't get AB+(or any ad blocker the last time I checked) for IE, so yes, the ad, in this case, IS browser-specific.

Now, you may return to pulling wings off of flies and spying on your sister in the bathroom...

I'm on Kubuntu, running Firefox with AB+. I have no clue what annoying question you're talking about.

Re "they feel the need to try to profit of it. Utter douchebags", that's the way the interwebs works without putting a quarter in first, Charlie. Site traffic = $$$, and I don't have a problem with that. Stealing content is one thing, posting an article with links to the original is good for everyone. Of course, in this case, you just jumped to an incorrect conclusion.

Seriously, are you using IE or something? Yeesh...

Lotsa sensitive liberal pricks here today.

Fact: I'm paying 10% more (roughly) in income taxes now than i was three years ago, with no rise in income. President's fault!

That is the standard you've set, right? The President's in office, stuff like higher taxes are his fault?

Well, I'm stupid, and a liar, so THERE! My taxes are up about 10% with no discernible rise in income. Seeing's how Obama supporters blame everything from global warming to increased solar flares on Bush, I ask your indulgence in blaming my recent increased tax burden on your own pride and joy in power in the White House during this time period.

What an asshole art thou. :-)

Thanks for straightening me out, Comrade. I hope I'm helping you subsidize your lifestyle.

My taxes have shot up (seeing how I'm now wealthy), I'm feeling some pain myself. I was barely making ends meet before it was decided that I should be doing more with my spare funds, being the despicable rich aristocrat that i am. ;-)

My words exactly. Probably pissed over getting in trouble yelling "Fire!" in theaters as a kid...

I'm white, and according to Obama, I'm rich (roughly $65k salary). Delta sucks for us privileged few too.

I think this is a hell of a lot more disturbing than some flamboyant dude who was testing the waters to see just what he could get away with. My own two cents' worth, let the roasting begin...

Are you suggesting that we all be responsible for our own actions???

Methinks he uses the word "racist" too much.

Steve BLAMMER: All of the evil deviousness of Bill gates, but without the brains. ;-)

I thought KDE4 was a horrible mistake a couple of years ago. But now, it's my desktop of choice. Admittedly, it's the least objectionable of bunch, IMHO.

You're welcome, same to you. What the hell are we doing on Slashdot???

;-)

I thank you. All of the dumbassed liberal vs. republican sanctimonious nonsense (extremely evident in this very discussion) wiped out with a simple animated chart from an impartial source. You have done what Al Gore and Michael Moore (speaking of a pair of sanctimonious assholes) have failed to do: convince me that there is hard evidence of greenhouse gases increasing in recent times.

Thank you again. :-)
