I can't believe he wasn't convicted of arson.

That page froze my computer too.
I think I'll try adblock.
It is supposed to freeze up video ads like that.
What moron thinks that is good marketing?
I can't tell you how many sites I have exited just because of animated ads.

And those capture sites that try to keep you locked in?
I have a jack handy and I will physically cut the connection when that happens.
Assholes!

Gyre, try the Firefox browser if you haven't already done so.

Straight from the AP wire.....
Calif. man gets prison for burning Burning Man
Jun 27 08:36 PM US/Eastern

RENO, Nev. (AP) - A San Francisco performance artist was sentenced Friday to as many as four years in prison and ordered to pay restitution for the early torching last summer of the signature effigy of the counterculture Burning Man festival.

Paul Addis pleaded guilty in May to one felony count of injury to property stemming from the burning of the 40-foot icon on Aug. 28—four days earlier than planned. He was ordered to pay $30,000 in restitution.

Addis, 35, was taken into custody after a hearing this week in Pershing County District Court in Lovelock.

Burning Man organizers rebuilt the effigy in time for it to go up in flames in the ceremonial climax of the annual weekend festival in the northern Nevada desert.

Addis has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts related to an alleged October arson attempt at San Francisco's historic Grace Cathedral. He was out on bail in the Burning Man case when police say he was found with an ammunition belt of small explosives outside the Episcopal church.

Burning Man, an eclectic art, music and performance festival that draws more than 40,000 people, began in 1986 at San Francisco's Baker Beach and was moved to the Black Rock Desert in 1990.

Hey, Gyre.

I guess I jumped the gun with my response to you. I was thinking of popups. D'oh.

I can only say that I love Firefox for its security, but I've had my computer frozen up too lately with videos -- YouTube, for instance. It's damned aggravating.
