As web designers look to increase the functionality of their websites, people are always looking for ways to reduce their capabilities. Flashblock/Adblock/Pop-up blockers and finally even private browsing features built right into web browsers. Why is there this huge disconnect between what designers are doing v.s. what people like to see? I understand the need for ads, but the seizure inducing flash pop-ups are just insane, don't designers realize that they are actually irritating their potential customer rather than enticing them to click on the ad?

I used to pirate movies until I discovered exactly what I wanted. Netflix. As much as I want at a reasonable fixed price and no ads. My only gripe with this method of service is the amount of time from theater to DVD release. Now the only thing I pirate is television shows for the same reason, time to release. Once an available method where I can stream the TV show I want the same day it air-ed I wouldn't pirate anything.

Flash ruined the interwebs, the Flashblock extension makes it a little more tolerable. I would be lost without it.

If the police or MADD actually cared about stopping drunk driving, they would go into the bar and give people an optional breathalyzer before they get into a car and before they can be arrested. Of course the punishment for this is to go back inside the bar and order some water until your BAC goes down. But no one makes money that way.

Not only have I forgotten how to write in cursive, I've forgotten how to write in lower case.

@$**& well we know it works in cygwin too.
