Suppress New Windows Revisited
Suppress New Windows Revisited
12/19/2004 03:25 PMIf you're like me, then you hate it when people use
target="_blank". If you've installed Firefox 1.0 and are
wondering why the suppress new windows advanced pref no longer works,
it's because it's been overridden by a new advanced pref.
To turn it on, go to about:config and set
"browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs" to true. Or you can add
user_pref("browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs", true); to your
user.js file.
Then in Tools | Options | Advanced | Tab browsing, a new option
appears. You can then force links that open in new windows to open in
the current window or a new tab instead. It's an experimental option
for now, so it might be a little buggy, but it works for the most
part.
Update: The feature doesn't work on bookmarklets that open popup
windows, like the bugmenot or Post to MT bookmarklets. It opens them
in new tabs instead of as a new popup window.
Update to Update: There's a pref for diverting window.open() calls
too.
Ohio Tries to Suppress Municipal-Fi
Ohio Tries to Suppress Municipal-Fi
12/19/2004 03:18 PM Esme Vos dissects the latest state bill that caters to incumbent
operators: Existing law prevents municipalities--with their tremendous
tax-free advantages as opposed to the massive subsidization of telcos
and cable operators--from running their own cable TV systems. A
modified bill, introduced by a graduate of the colleges of Zig Zigler
and Dale Carnegie, adds telecom services to that mix. Esme would like
to know which companies are behind this particular emendation to
Ohio's law. [link indirectly via GigaOm]...

Crushing of dissent
Crushing of dissent

Internet is now basically banned and controlled for all but the
elite in Cuba.
In Iran,
an unelected body has eliminated hundreds of reformist candidates from
the general elections. That's what stiffling of dissent looks like.
Stare it in the face, and ask your politicians and NGOs and friends to
raise their voices against it as loud as they did against the war in
Iraq. Promote freedom for people just like you around the world in a
nonviolent way. (And I'm not talking about writing Bush to ask for
Regime Change)

'Their job is to suppress us
noiselessly; ours is to survive.'
11/18/2003 10:12 PM Victor Serge is one of the
missing links in 20th-century history; in at the beginning of the
Soviet Union, he saw before almost anyone what a nightmare it was
going to be, wrote some prescient books, may have invented the word
"totalitarian," knew everybody who was anybody, and was
forgotten. Christopher Hitchens
tries to
remind us (quote and acknowledgment inside).
Do Web Search Engines Suppress
Controversy?
Do Web Search Engines Suppress
Controversy?
01/09/2004 09:55 PMDo Web Search Engines Suppress Controversy? by Susan L.
Gerharthttp://firstmon
day.org/issues/issue9_1/gerhart/Web behavior depends
upon three interlocking communities: (1) authors whose Web pages link
to other pages; (2) search engines indexing and ranking those pages;
and (3) information seekers whose queries and surfing reward authors
and support search engines. Systematic suppression of controversial
topics would indicate a flaw in the Web’s ideology of openness and
informativeness. This paper explores search engines’ bias by asking:
Is a specific well–known controversy revealed in a simple search?
Experimental topics include: distance learning, Albert Einstein, St.
John’s Wort, female astronauts, and Belize. The experiments suggest
simple queries tend to overly present the "sunny side" of these
topics, with minimal controversy. A more "Objective Web" is analyzed
where: (a) Web page authors adopt research citation practices; (b)
search engines balance organizational and analytic content; and, (c)
searchers practice more wary multi–searching.

02/10/2004 02:41 AMAP:
Feds
win right to war protesters' records.
In what may be the first
subpoena of its kind in decades, a federal judge has ordered a
university to turn over records about a gathering of anti-war
activists. In addition to the subpoena of Drake University, subpoenas
were served this past week on four of the activists who attended a
Nov. 15 forum at the school, ordering them to appear before a grand
jury Tuesday, the protesters said. Federal prosecutors refuse to
comment on the subpoenas. "with the accusation that the GOP will
try and suppress the African American

Diebold Attempting To Suppress Leaked
Legal Memos
04/23/2004 04:27 PMErnest Miller writes
"Last Tuesday it was revealed that Diebold was informed by its
lawyers that what it was doing was most likely illegal (Diebol
d Knew They Broke The Law With Uncertified Voting Machines).
Where did this information come from? Leaked legal memos from
Diebold's law firm, Jones Day. A judge has ordered that all memos not
already published on the internet be returned to Jones Day (A New
Pentagon Papers Case - Newspapers, Blogs and the Diebold/Jones Day
Memos). But, if you can't stop newspapers from publishing the
Pentagon Papers, why can you stop a newspaper from publishing memos
dealing with important issues regarding voting? Perhaps the lesson for
newspapers is that if you think the public should be informed, publish
as much as possible and don't try to hold back information for
"exclusives." "
