AdBlock and legitimate variations (unless you’re running a counterfeit, compromised copy) do not autocorrect.
Please see my comment at #28.
Good analysis.
I know someone whose parents were a lot like what u described. She was molested by an uncle but they never believed her. Time has healed a lot of the wounds but they have never had a close relationship. Over time tho she has come to accept that that is how it is and has went on to develop a close relationship with her heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. She always says, “If I can’t be close to my earthly father or mother, I will stay close to my heavenly Father who will never leave me”. I pray time has also healed some of your wounds. God bless.
That’s not what they said when I contacted them about it. They told me how to turn it off, which I’d already done, and said that the issue would be fixed in the next upgrade. Unless you’re quibbling about me saying “AdBlock” instead of “AdBlock Plus”, which is what it was.
I stand corrected. It appears Adblock Plus had the “feature” for a time before being removed. I just checked 2.3.2 on Firefox/Linux and it definitely isn’t present and I found an article saying it had been removed. In some version(s) the option was supposed to have been at the top of the “filter preferences” screen as a “typo correction tab” but not on mine (and not in about:preferences). Evidently the Linux-oriented update channel to which I’m subscribed did not ever promulgate that version. If you are still seeing the autocorrect in 2.3.2 that would be very interesting. Windows/Linux difference? Wouldn’t be the first time!
Were you an expert on raising children when you had your first one? Second one? Third one?
You’ll have more success praying to Jesus.
My family has been blessed with a number of auspicious outcomes after petitioning the Saints to pray for us. The way I identify these, apart from ordinary fortuitous things that can happen, is each one leads us to become more religious and closer to God. These have nothing to do with financial situations, BTW.
And we do, of course, pray directly to Jesus numerous times each day. I guess Protties think we don’t?
I need to do a major pingathon.
Thanks. I am VERY interested in this....but am not THAT technologically aware of HOW to do it. Help ...please.
;-)
I appreciate the misunderstanding so many have regarding the intercession of the saints. Let me try to put this into perspective.
Let's say you work in a large company and you have been there for 10 years. You feel you deserve a raise. The only person who can approve this is the CEO and your immediate supervisor is well respected by him. You approach your supervisor, present your case and ask for a raise. He/she goes to the CEO and makes the appeal on your behalf.
Here is an example of one such situation that occurred in the US. Miracle of 'blind' man who can see
Like Steve, I too have been very blessed by our Lord through the intercession of several saints. That is not to say that I did not begin with Jesus. Ultimately, because they are a lot closer to Him, those prayers were answered.
1. Google SafeSearch. This is very easy to set up. You need to get into settings for search. It doesn't always appear exactly the same so I can't give precise instructions.
But this is the Google help page for it and should get you there:
The second big improvement in terms if Internet safety (and this is a change that affects all access, not just searches) is use of OpenDNS services (free, unless you decide to get the enhanced service).
OpenDNS is really great because it prevents even inadvertent access (like Politicalmom described), or deliberate, for that matter to any website on the lists for objectionable content (the lists can be customized extremely easily -- for example, you can restrict social media sites, video sharing, political, etc., or not). In addition to classes of sites, you can list individual ones to block or not.
This is a bit more involved to set up, but not bad at all. It really does work. If, for some reason, you need to defeat the protection temporarily you can, as administrator. I rarely, if ever, have to do that, now that I have my blocking list customized.
Most people are comfortable setting up OpenDNS, but if you are not comfortable making any kind of change to your network settings you should have another trusted person set this up for you. But you will need to be the adminsitrator with the OpenDNS password ultimately.
Good luck and I hope these work for you!
BTW, if you have multiple users on the machine (different accounts), both of these changes affect all of them. The set up is done by the administrator on the machine.
“Were you an expert on raising children when you had your first one? Second one? Third one?”
****
Irrelevant because I’m not claiming to be an expert. However, I certainly know more about raising kids than a childless woman.
Her experience wanking off to porn as a teenager and as a young adult doesn’t make her an expert on parenting. If she wants to do a Christian guide to wanking or on abstinence, at least there would be a slim sliver of credibility on which to claim expertise based on her hours watching porn.
What this appears to be is a cynical attempt to market herself to a niche that dovetails with her husband’s career.
She claims expertise based on an implied moral authority from God in a field where she is clearly unqualified by any rational standard.
