Nope, it blocks "http://secondlife.com/forums/images/hdr_avs.jpg"
I have seen that picture thousands of times. Enough is too much. It makes the page look much less silly for browsing the forums at work. It should also work to block specific images in signatures, which would be nice in some cases. For the header images it just snipped the space out of the display so there isn't an ugly gap. _____________________

Cool. My work, on the other hand, if I tried to install ANYTHING, a swat team would drop out of the ventillation system and hit me with a rolled up newspaper, I'm luck I'm able to post (supposedly) under their radar. ;P

Its my team at work that enforces that  We lock all our PC's down tight with Zenworks - can't even see your C: drive. If you want to install something, an approved 'package' has to be created for it first. Since doing it, the amount of staffing we need on our Desktop team has been reduced down to about a quarter of what it was. _____________________

And if so, you are aware that I can get to my C: drive by going Start>Run>C: , right?  _____________________

Creatively, I wonder if Firefox 1.5 could not just REMOVE graphics, but randomly replace them with others? Could come up with your own customized secondlife.com banners that way!

click-click.... Not anymore you can! <G> j/k - unless you work for a major healthcare provider in the Detroit area Heh, nope. It's kinda sad, without getting to detailed, I work for a very large company, and if someone does accidentally find a way to install adware/popupblocker/whatever, they have to open a support ticket and wait days to get it manually removed, have someone remote into their machine. As a result, I have an old copy of msconfig hidden on a network drive so I can fix it for them without waiting forever through the proper channels... Still waiting for the swat team to drop through the ceiling and tell me I'm not allowed to do that either. ;P _____________________

If you've already got access to your C: drive, check under c:\winnt\system32 There's a bunch of files in there with a .CPL extention - those are all the individual Windows Control Panel applets. If you double-click on "appwiz.cpl" - that should get you into add/remove programs even if its locked down. Then again, the microchip your company installed in your brain at orientation might alert the swat team as soon as you think about doing this _____________________

For the header images it just snipped the space out of the display so there isn't an ugly gap. I turn off images to help ahem get away with browsing at work |

Since doing it, the amount of staffing we need on our Desktop team has been reduced down to about a quarter of what it was. Only works in certain areas, doing this to our developer team would even reduce it to about zero quarter of what it was To stay on topic, i 'adblocked' about half of the SL site that way. Still trying to get that big personal office as the final solution to that problem. Except this forum browsing isn't really helping much in that respect _____________________

Taken from The last paragraph on pg. 16 of Cory Ondrejka's paper "Changing Realities: User Creation, Communication, and Innovation in Digital Worlds :
"User-created content takes the idea of leveraging player opinions a step further by allowing them to effectively prototype new ideas and features. Developers can then measure which new concepts most improve the products and incorporate them into the game in future patches." |
