NoScript

is about to wear me out. Is it really necessary with a linux machine? I have adblock that seems to be no bother at all but noScript is pissing me off. Is there anyway to have it not be so intrusive. I pretty much know where I want to go, no porn or any of that, no preachie type stuff either, mostly new and doing research, I'm a tinkerer and I like to read of others new ideas as that kicks in my imagination, if you will.

I feel better already but do I really need this when everything I want to do I've got to ask it permission, should I be that paranoid? is it really that bad out there on the internets? Please some relief is needed.

:rofl: but seriously

Forgot to add: Thanks in advance for any input on this

but once you have it configured for the sites you visit most often, it's fairly innocuous.

The stuff it blocks (java, javascript, flash, etc.) are all OS independant so Linux is really no different in this respect.

I guess my playing with 10.04 alpha and reloading it as the new releases are released hasn't really given it time to make much of a white list. Thanks.

OT: Alpha 3 takes 13 seconds to boot from cold. about 4 for shut down. 10.04 is definitely going to be the OS to have and use, its almost like I have a new computer.

My hardware (BIOS) prompts me to configure RAID and I'm forced to wait an additional ten seconds while it times out. There's no way to change the configuration either and trust me, I have looked. It's annoying but not annoying enough to reflash. Yet. Shutdown is fast, about five seconds.

I used to have terrible start-up and shut-down problems in XP. One of the reasons I gave up on Windows.
