Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, that's what we're calling it now.

Question re: cookies.
I set my security options to Disable from Prompt for cookies that are stored on the system. b.org has never asked to put a cookie on the system. When I set the system to Disable, my system hung twice while trying to come to b.org. When I set it back to Prompt, b.org popped right up, without asking to put a cookie on the system. I know b.org keeps track of me somehow so it knows to remember me, but I'm not sure if I confused the thing by Disabling the cookies. Of course, it could be coincidence. I'm running Win98SE with IE 5.5.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It uses cookies, yes.

Are they stored cookies? Those were the only ones I set to Disable. Per Session cookies are Enabled.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you want to be remembered, they're stored for sure. Otherwise they should just be session information.

But I've got Stored Cookies set to Prompt. And I've been saying No to the prompts. Hm...
This is where the mystic arts stuff kicks in, right? Internet programming is really done with stinky herbs and Latin, I bet.

Those noises you hear when you dial up? The dying squeals of an electronic sacrificial goat. Also known as putting the 'die' in 'dial up'.
Sorry. I'm probably over-excited about having had time to finish a thread. t /natter

Internet programming is like regular programming, really, only with more newt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Would this be a good time to mention again how much I hate the use of the term MARCIE for the user filter? The character in question was a tragic one, and I really dislike the thought of applying that concept to people who annoy us.
I realize it doesn't actually matter to me in practical application since I won't be using the filter, but I would like to again discourage the practice. I know there are those who disagree with this and think it's cute, but I say, let's say user filter. It's a straightforward term for a functional application.
