It will take a few days of getting acquainted with it but you'll like the
speed and simplicity of google chrome much better. Nice thing is that
Chrome will import all your bookmarks or favorites in case anyone is using
IE.

I too didn't stay "logged in" but a sign in each day will do it for me using
google Chrome, until you close the browser. Chrome also clears out spyware cookies.

There's another possibility. For those using Mozilla there's a few widespread viruses called "redirect virus." I had to rid Mozilla of it a few times. Every time you attempt to enter something it seeks to redirect you to a different website. It could be attempting to do so on these pages but the server doesn't allow it so you get a freeze up, or so that's my best guess because the freeze-ups ceased after I ridded Mozilla of the redirect virus.

I'm using the Safari web browser, and I believe arktimes.com now uses OAuth protocol for logins, but the server or web client seem to be losing authentication sometimes. I usually don't use the "Remember Me" login option, and was accustomed to entering my email address and password with each message posted. But lately it seems to accept messages without doing that login each time, so the way that cookies are being handled may have changed. I get an occasional error message about not being logged on after clicking the Post Comment button - but the top of the page shows my account logged in. When that occurs, I use the Copy command to temporarily save my message, click the "Log Out" link at the top of the page, get back to the thread, paste the message in again, click the Post Comment button again, log in again, and then things get back to normal for a while.

There is also a lot more JavaScript execution happening, especially for loading blog responses and dynamically inserting that content into the page. I won't send instructions about how to use the Firefox JavaScript debugger. But if you are using a Mac, you might launch the Console.app utility and look for Firefox error messages, there could be a helpful clue there.

The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked enforcement of an Illinois law that prohibited people from recording police officers on the job.

The justices on Monday left in place a lower court ruling that found that the state’s anti-eavesdropping law violates free speech rights when used against people who tape law enforcement officers.

We live in fascinating times... if only we would address the anger instead of sitting by idly watching this American pot begin to boil over only calling for more surveillance and more police. As if that (inverted totalitarianism) has ever worked out well.

Your mention of Ashcroft reminded me of something I tried to do back in the day when the Miss Priss of Missouri put drapes over the Spirit of Justice statue at the DOJ. I tried to get 30 women---that seemed like a safe number---to go to DC, find out Ashcroft's route to work in the AM, and stand on the curb and flash our breasts at him as he was driving by in his limo. I had a good variety in the 10 women who were game to do it---small breasts, big breasts, mastectomized breasts, enhanced breasts, perky breasts, sagging breasts, you name it.

I stalled out at 10 and dropped the project. I bet Ashcroft calls chicken breasts white meat and chicken legs are drumsticks.

No matter, it does leave you with a feeling that we just can't have nice things. Fortunately the damage done to the plaque will only amount to about 500 dollars and plans are being made to make each of the 12 bronze plaques more secure in the future.

This makes me remember that a few years ago vandals cut the penis and balls off a bronze dog on display at one of our local parks. The life size bronze dog was anatomically correct but not in any way vulgar unless one is overly concerned with canine genitals. Was the attacker a teenager thinking it would be funny to saw off bronze genitals? Has John Ashcroft been to Arkansas lately? Was some Nazarene offended? I guess we'll never know the answer, but again......it makes one think we just can't have nice things.

In 10 years a person won't be able to walk 10 feet without being observed by an authoritarian camera. Though my streaking years are well behind me, I'll never enjoy such surveillance....it's just creepy....what if I'm giving my nose a good picking? Or adjusting my unit? Or kissing a woman not my wife (fat chance these days).....well, at least our public art will be safer I suppose.

Without religion people would be more likely to live in peace. Without humans life, earth would be damn near perfect, but due to self preservation, I don't want to pull at that thread.
