I am really sorry about this, Bear. I really didn't know. I'll remember that
tmcnet.com are ones I should avoid in the future (or at least provide a
warning).

It appears to be Firefox 1.5 with Noia, judging by the screenshot. I can also
see the FlashBlock icon in the page, so I imagine there are some plug-ins to
serve as defences. I have almost half a dozen such plug-ins, which leaves me
blind to aggressive advertisements and nasty scripts. None of this was
intended. Sorry, guys. I still try rarely (if ever) to link to LinuxToday
because these folks are sponsored by Microsoft.
