Have you seen that annoying x10 camera ad pop up on your monitor 100 times? Of course you have. Good news! This is how you can disable it. Just click here! That will enable the cookie for the x10 ad telling it not to display it for 30 days. I edited the link
[ http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=30&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm]
so that the DAY= is now set to 365 days. Try this one to disable it for a full year!
The bad news is it seems more companies have signed up for this annoying popup ad, so we should be seeing those soon. There are some programs out there that disable popup ads, but here is one that lets you disable certain sites called Proximation. Also, for those in the "know", you can edit your hosts file and set those annoying domains to resolve to another address. Before I found the cookie above, I had ads.x10.com resolve to 127.0.0.1. This doesn't stop it from popping up, but it doesn't display their ad and doesn't waste any bandwidth.
