Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm is a free man again after serving three years in prison for hacking and copyright offenses. His release marks the end of a turbulent and tough period characterized by successive trials, appeals and convictions in both Sweden and Denmark.

Since when did radio advertisers think it was OK to have emergency sirens/screeching tires/horns in their commercials? You'd think the FCC would have some sort of policy against that.

Also noticing lately that the ads recorded by local personalities are being sped up... so they can fit even more advertising into a smaller space. Boo.

Right. Phone ringtones in adds are also a huge annoyance.

FYI, AdBlock has been sold to a mystery buyer. They're also allowing advertisers to buy their way into a whitelist. Might be time to switch to something different... been hearing good things about uBlock Origin.

Going forward, your updated advice on this will be appreciated. TIA!

Jumping back into the AdBlock/uBlock Origin thing, I've tried both lately, and I don't seem to see a difference. Maybe it's the version of AdBlock I'm using (AdBlock Plus from Eyeo GMBH). I tried both on Safari and Firefox and AdBlock Plus was always easier to use and gave me less overall grief. YMMV, I guess. Now If I could just find a good anti-adblock killer for Safari. AdFly interstitials on sites are getting really annoying about turning it off.

Been running Adguard on Firefox, but that's under Ubuntu; I don't know if there's a windoze version. Nothing's gotten through so far, but I'm seeing more and more sites whine about it. I've even had a few just sit there like they're stupid.

I'm not sure who any of these people are or if I should care but this story showed up on my FB feed today.

Like he says frequently on SayUncle: "Why are anti-gun activists so violent?" There's an endless stream of these knobheads making threats or wishing ill on gun owners. It's like they can't conceive that not everyone is as childish and dangerous as they are, and have to project their faults on us. This is probably the origin of their fixation on penis compensation; they subconsciously realize they've been emasculated and have to think everyone else has, too.

I kinda understand keyboard bravados typing out such things under the assumption they're sorta anonymous or think nobody will care what they put out there. But you'd think people that represent "name brand" publications would conduct themselves with a bit more maturity. It appears fewer and fewer people care how ridiculous and poorly they appear to the public anymore.

I've found the trick so far is to use an "anti-adblock killer". I've been using Reeks' AAB Killer and it works pretty will with NinjaScript and adding it to ABP. Some sites act a bit stupid (like the Guardian), but it's livable. Now I just have to find a blocker that will bock adds in youtube videos embedded outside of YT.

Radio is either WIBC or NPR.

INGO and AR15.com on the web. Also check Drudge Report, to see what else is going on.

Listen to my Shortwave receiver, when working in the garage.

Used to read the Early Bird at work, until the administration shut it down in 2013. Defense News brought it back as the Early Bird Brief . It gives good summary of DoD and International news.

See Today's Top Stories in the Early Bird Brief

Also look at Janes for detailed defense news. http://www.janes.com/

In addition to former interns and Hulk Hogan, looks like Gawker is also being sued by Journalist Ashley Terrill.

So many lawsuits against them, love it.

Calling her a "Journalist" is a stretch. She's a hack muckraker that's now getting stuck in that quagmire she jumped into.
