I have noticed during the last couple of weeks that after I click on the close icon for Drudge it takes up to 10 seconds to actually disappear. Is Matt getting statistics on me?
I just tried it. It closed instantly for me.
I go to drudge all the time, but I do not like the auto-refresh feature. I don’t know about your question though.
The NSA is using those seconds to download your browsing history from your computer . . .
Or else your browser cache is full. Clear it and see what happens.
Of course, anything on a Linux computer is instant.
Linux Mint 17.1 is excellent!
Windows on this computer.
I got loaded up with malware on Drudge, finally stopped going there and started going here instead.
Maybe your brain implants are faulty?
Ugh, yeah! The auto refresh is one of the reasons I won’t visit his page if I’m in a place with anything less than a high speed connection. Too frustrating.
Closed instantly for me ... but not before I threw up in my mouth a little looking at the Jebby picture ...
Did you get the implant on your wrist and forehead. Boy, those things speed up the Internet. I heard that soon, you and scan your credit card into them, so all you have to do is show the other guy where your implant is in order to buy or sell anything. I can’t wait until that happens.
There is a fix to the auto refresh but I can’t recall what it is. Whatever it is itstill works perfectly. Try googling drudge refresh and you may get lucky.
Are you logged on?
You need anti-malware software.
The other option is a Mac. I have both. PCs need more protection.
You know me, so you know I’m not sucking up or anything, but I was just having this conversation on the Sunday Talk Show thread...
This place is one of the best behaved web sites in the world wide web!
I have noticed lately a host of news sites, from little blogs to big driveby media ones—including Rush Limbaugh’s site and the Drudge Report—are getting harder to navigate because of all the ads being promoted.
You have no popups, no ads, no videos that play even when you didn’t click on them, no overlay ads that slide in when you mouse over a pixel or hit the edge of a window—it just all works.
Browsing their sites for news gets harder and harder and a bigger pain in the @$$! Yours is decidedly superior. The combination of your and John’s skills, and the FReepers who post here, make it the BEST news site on the Internet.
Thank you Jim!
Dude, everybody is collecting statistics on all of us.
Have a Nice Data Secure New Year!!
In Brave New Encrypted World Ve Trust!
Many thanks!
