The five programs: eDonkey, iMesh, Kazaa, LimeWire, and Morepheus. Can you imagine a 22K disclosure on 182 screens? I can't but that is what Kazaa has.

When I close the AIM window a pop-under ad for TravelZoo is shown. Can't figure out a way to stop it short of using a different instant messenger. It's especially bad to me because the ad that disturbs my tranquility is via Internet Explorer browser, and I am running FireFox. AIM version 5.9.3672. PestPatrol, Ad-Aware, Spybot. The barrage of advertising we get in all mediums is http://artivfact.com/wss_blog/2004/11/aol-instant-messenger-pop-under-ad.htmlthomas.piotrowski@gmail.com (thorium)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914009.post-110002386896919601Tue, 09 Nov 2004 19:01:00 +00002006-11-15T12:56:02.118-06:00One can install a P3P HTTP Header into an Apache webserver via a .htaccess file. Here is an example that shows the syntax of the .htaccess file: Header append P3P 'CP="CAO DSP COR LAW CURa ADMa DEVa PSAa PSDa OUR DELa BUS IND PHY ONL UNI PUR COM NAV INT STA",policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml"' Notice: capitalization of 'Header', policyref does not include the domain, and use of single quotes enclosing http://artivfact.com/wss_blog/2004/11/http-p3p-header-apache-module.htmlthomas.piotrowski@gmail.com (thorium)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914009.post-110002319515798306Tue, 09 Nov 2004 17:57:00 +00002006-11-15T12:56:02.053-06:00Yea! FireFox 1.0 came out today. Get yours now. I use FireFox for all my web browsing except the few sites that only work with Internet Explorer, and those I ignore unless they are financial sites that I need. http://artivfact.com/wss_blog/2004/11/firefox-10-browser-is-out.htmlthomas.piotrowski@gmail.com (thorium)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914009.post-109995093950706688Mon, 08 Nov 2004 21:48:00 +00002006-11-15T12:56:01.966-06:00Just how necessary or useful is adherence to P3P protocol. Just for the fun of it I checked msn.com, shopping.msn.com, yahoo.com, and cooking.com using the "integrated validation" link of "Checky" from FireFox browser. Not one link completely passed validation. The major problems seem to be with the content of the compact policy of the HTTP header. Interesting. http://artivfact.com/wss_blog/2004/11/adherence-to-p3p-protocol.htmlthomas.piotrowski@gmail.com (thorium)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914009.post-109922811922379380Sun, 31 Oct 2004 13:00:00 +00002006-11-15T12:56:01.881-06:00Although I mostly use the w3c validators & the Dreamweaver built-in validators, I really like the comprehensive convenience of the Checky Extension (Goofy name but you aren't likely to forget it). Use it to validate HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, P3P, hyperlinks, and A LOT more. Excellent tool, guys! http://artivfact.com/wss_blog/2004/10/checky-extension-to-firefox-mozilla.htmlthomas.piotrowski@gmail.com (thorium)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914009.post-106561820391083297Wed, 08 Oct 2003 14:12:00 +00002006-11-15T12:56:01.687-06:00Welcome to the Web Site Services blog.
