irony?

via wikipedia:

There is some argument about what is or is not ironic, but all the different senses of irony revolve around the perceived notion of an incongruity between what is said and what is meant; or between an understanding of reality, or an expectation of a reality, and what actually happens.


so... is it ironic (per se? lol) that breaking up patterns is used to defeat IDS and WAFs, but also used to make sure you get served adds?

// split things up to **** blockers
var url = 'http://a'+'d.doublecl'+'ick.net/' + embedType + '/****.';


this last bit is tangental (surprised?). imo, the net neutral crowd had better be prepared to fight the powers that be long and hard, b/c there's a lot of movers and shakers who get pushed out of $$$ if they can't find a way to start taking money for all the time you spend online...

Hahaha, wow. I've never seen that before, but I'm not surprised. I use ABP w/ firefox and I can't say I've seen an ad from any of the major players recently -- where did you see this?
