NBC.com sure has a sense of humour. This is what their player showed me after watching a SNL clip, instead of some Sandler movie trailer:

Yeah, no, I think I'll keep the URL filter on.

PS: The clip, with the ads.

OC 500k

Opera Community, OC, blog, Internet

In April 2004, I joined the Opera Community myself, while looking for answers in the Betas, previews, and weeklies forums. I wanted to ask and to be heard, and spent hours browsing the (then) heart of the community.

Being a student, I hardly noticed Opera and the OC creep up on me. I liked the internationality of it, people of all ages and places and backgrounds being supportive together. I even managed to translate something into Portuguese and post in the Brasilian forum.

And now... I have one real presence on the web, on my (dot) opera. And for the new user (number 0x7A120 for the technically inclined, or 五百千 for the artistic one): Hello. And welcome in! We'll prepare something for you

Phish with Nigerian spam

Internet

Two messages passed by the spam filter this morning, on yahoo, "from" mad.scientist.com:【Just published Do you wish to increase your volume by up to 500%?】 and on gmail, "from" presidency.com:【...Unfortunately we have faced some difficulties while receiving payment for our software in our country as need 10-30 days to get a payment from your country.】

The first one (which I won't bother to link to) should have been caught, I think, containing such words as "your woman", "speechless", "Tonight you’ll prove", "excellent formula", "See our shop" and the unambiguous "Have you ever dreamt to have a very hard [censored]". Even this post can now be flagged.
