Ads and System Load

I just don't understand what the tittie ads are doing on a g rated forum like this

being a yahoo service i imagine it is displaying to you targeted content, but i dont know for sure 100% ;)

:D


:D:D

Cheers

mmm smart cookies eh?

run No Script inside Firefox and no more problems :D

I thought being a subscriber cut down the number of ads - not in the banner obviously but in the threads. :confused:

Or is it not the case now.

the adverts in the threads are only shown to non subscribers.

or thats how it should be....

if you are a subscriber and you are seeing them let me know i will turn them off for you.

I just did a bit more fiddling about and have discovered:

• with only one AULRO page open and the ad enabled, CPU usage bounces around from 20% to 100% and performance is OK.
• with two AULRO pages open, CPU usage goes up to 100% and stays there and performance suffers.
• if I disable the flash plugins, CPU usage drops to 0% once the page is displayed, even with several pages open. That means of course that the flash ads don't display and I wouldn't be able to watch other video.

Anyway I can work around this in a couple of ways, so it's not a big problem.

Geeezzzzzz.........:eek2:... If my computer got up to 20% cpu usage I would be worried, 100% usage and I would be heading for Inc's Fabulous Computer Shoppe, where man walking through door with Credit Card in hand is always welcomed.

Did I mention that I have 2 CPU's.
Did I mentioned that they are both overclocked by 15%.
Did I mention that they are both AMD.

So there is your answer.....get rid of the lowly, slowly performing Intel processor and go AMD:D, see no problem now.....told you it would work.

Do you head in to your local LR dealer, credit card in hand to buy a RRS every time someone beats your IIA away from the traffic lights?:D:D

I think I get the same sort of satisfaction from getting acceptable performance from a free 7 year old computer that you probably get from your Series IIAs.:D
If you had a question about the sluggish performance of your IIA, you wouldn't want someone to respond by suggesting you sell it and buy a Range Rover Sport.:p
I have been aware for some time of the way Apple users and PC users argue about the relative merits of their system, just like Windows v Linux, IE v Firefox and LR v Toyota.
I didn't realize how loyal some users were to either Intel or AMD.
It seems a bit like LR owners arguing about TDi v TD5 or manual v auto.
Actually some LR owners do argue about those things so perhaps I should not have been surprised that Intel V AMD could be an issue.:D

I am actually quite pleased with the performance of my computer. For most of the tasks I do, there is no discernible or significant difference between it and much more modern machines running a different OS.

So you keep enjoying your IIAs and I'll keep enjoyng my P4 1.7GHz.:D:D:D:p:p:p

When I built Rome I went over to the Dark side and put an Intell core two duo 6750 in,,

after many years of being an AMD fanboy--





sure enough, Vista tells me the slowest part of my system is my cpu,,,,
