I know, my statement was misleading. In fact, I allow Java for TMV, but block it for all linked ad domains by using 'noscript' for firefox. Good luck for building your own censor engine, comrade Rudi! Peace. :D “Gray – Some of the JS is necassary.”

Next step is Greasemonkey or my own JS to block the Wingnuts in comments. ;-P Gray – Some of the JS is necassary. Next step is Greasemonkey or my own JS to block the Wingnuts in comments.

I block Flash and Java, but not the ad pictures. Maybe surprisingly, and contrary to Steck's opinion, I don't want to ruin TMV. ;-) “I’ve migrated to open source browsers, love AdBlockerPlus, faster load and almost zero ads.”

I wouldn't go that far, Comrade Rudi. It was a normal, capitalistic business decision. A total snafu, just like it happens every day somewhere. :D “The Select paywall was all about greed.”

It took a newspaper losing readership and exacerbated the situation. Many regular articles are also behind this "Green Curtain". The Internets is expensive enough, who can live with dial up, most sites kill that option(TMV and the widgets). The Daily Star in Beirut has the better model, paygo for archived material. Archiving is expensive to maintain, current material isn't free, look at all the advertising(even at TMV). I've migrated to open source browsers, love AdBlockerPlus, faster load and almost zero ads.

Hear, hear! At least some good news! This would be great. I prefer the news stories of the gray lady (hehe, naturally, right?), but that I couldn't get to the opinions and the more detailed reports annoyed me. So I usually read WaPo first, even though it has become too conservative for my liking. The LAT seems to be in total turmoil right now (understably so) and isn't a vlaid alternative right now. Again, great news1 I hope this isn't just a rumour by competing NYP intended to drive revenue from Times Select down, though. “the New York Post reports (drum roll please!) that Times editors are thisclose to abandoning TimesSelect.”
Hear, hear! At least some good news!
