Submission + - Ah, Slashdot (slashdot.org) 4

bradley13 writes: So, Slashdot has made some change. I now see the normal page for a few seconds, then the CSS is removed and I get the pop-up "This page could not be loaded properly due to incorrect / bad filtering rule(s) of adblockers in use." Which is BS, of course, because when I click "cancel" the page is re-rendered correctly. Then, a couple of seconds later, the whole thing repeats.

FWIW: I don't actually expect this "story" to be published, but maybe they devs will have a look at their code?

Needless to say, no change on my end. Anyway, I have the option ticked (that Slashdot offers) to disable ads. They don't need to be displaying ads, or including trackers.

Privacy

Submission + - Choosing anonymous proxies 2

bradley13 writes: There are lots of anonymous proxies out there, and anyone concerned about their privacy probably uses one for at least some of their web-browsing.

The Megaupload story highlights the fact that having servers in the USA is not a great idea. There are also other countries one may not want to trust. Oddly, very few proxy services mention where their equipment is located.

What anonymous proxy services do members of the Slashdot community use? What criteria do you use to select them? How paranoid are you, and for what types of Internet usage?
Idle

Submission + - Do not show your ID when robbing a bank (chron.com)

bradley13 writes: Combine a clever teller with, well, not the brightest bank robber. When poor Nathan went in to rob a bank, the teller told him she needed to see two forms of ID before she could give him the money. Nathan is now enjoying three hots and a cot.
