Heh. Suckers...

Firefox FTW!

Would it be related to the cache poisoning problem uncovered last week?

Got me with only 2 windows open

The Internet is busted!

If you can't read this message please switch browsers.

Yep, I'm coming across the problem on many sites
Hot Air, Eject Eject Eject, etc.

re: #2 Slumbering Behemoth

Firefox FTW!

I'm not getting what that means?

And so it begins.

(I don't know what, but, you know, "it")

Call the Messiah! he's the one we've been waiting for to fix the internet.

Using AVANT browser, Instapundit gives the message, LGF, not so much!

re: #6 Killgore Trout

If you can't read this message please switch browsers.

LOL!

Just happened at Hot Air too. before it was just Jihad Watch. This one's still ok. Weird. Yeah, ie7

I dropped a note to the Internet Storm Center.

re: #5 Killgore Trout
Both of them.

Is it just blogs?

The problem has been noted elsewhere.

It's called "Microsoft".

I also closed down, stripped prophylactics, and rebooted, still exhibiting the same behaviour.

re: #6 Killgore Trout

Ha!

re: #8 Sharmuta

Are you being sarcastic? Or serious? It's hard to tell on these here interwebs, since I can't see facial expressions or hear tonal subtleties.

All of the think tank sites in my side bar, and newsites load fine.

haha are they trying to select our reading material?

Since I'm watching Zulu at the moment, I can't shake the feeling that the IE7 problem is the prelude to a Zulu attack.

there’s some kind of problem on the Internet

rotating title, what?

Sometimes the "Operation Aborted" can itself be aborted by clicking the Stop button on IE after the webpage is displayed. Sometimes the popup happens too soon.

I wonder about the cache poisioning problem; could it be an infected advertisement instead? I had a nmber of suspicious cookies that I deleted; yieldmanager or some similar name. Perhaps dumping all cookies will make a difference.

I have no problem with IE7 whatsoever but thanks to this web site I am now a big Firefox user.

re: #22 Occasional Reader

What a great movie. Michael Caine, right?

re: #3 Eyes Wide Open

Would it be related to the cache poisoning problem uncovered last week?

I doubt it.. That issue is dealing with DNS servers across the net.

yay i could get zombie, not michelle malkin, not jawa report or hot air

re: #22 Occasional Reader

Now you've got me humming "Men of Harlech."

How soon before global warming is blamed?

re: #26 Killgore Trout

What a great movie. Michael Caine, right?

Yep. And Stanley Baker. Caine doing an upper-class English accent for once.

No problems on Safari.

Obviously, global warming at work. (Watching "Zulu" as well).

Probably just China preparing for the Olympics.

hmmm..

No problem at dkos, Huffpo, DU, or Mother jones.

re: #19 Slumbering Behemoth

No- I really wasn't following you there. What does FTW mean?

Ooh, great scene. The British soldiers start singing to keep up morale, and counter the Zulu chants.

re: #3 Eyes Wide Open

Would it be related to the cache poisoning problem uncovered last week?

Not likely; DNS isn't browser specific.

The error message has the /. at the end, as if it doesn't get
read permissions to the directory. ( or thinks it doesn't have
permissions)

Did anyone else here receive Win XP SP3 through Win Update today? I did, and installed it. I wonder if there was a browser patch within the OS update?

re: #36 Sharmuta

No- I really wasn't following you there. What does FTW mean?

In this context, probably not what I usually use it as, F*ck The World.

re: #30 DoubleU

How soon before global warming is blamed?

Of course, since Al Gore invented the Internet

AT one hundred yards... volley fire, present... aim.. FIRE!

Just the Chinese practicing for the Olympics.

I was wondering if it had something to do with ads, but Beldar.blogs.com won't come up and he doesn't really have ads. He does have a link to Amazon, which many blogs have...?

re: #35 jetprop
ame here i get those but add i cannot get rightwingnuthouse

No information about the problem elsewhere yet ... stay tuned.

I think we may be looking at the first stages of the first-ever collective user error.

There's a rip in the space-time continuum due any moment.

Problem with Vista not able to open sites also.

FF FTW

I've IE7 and I'm doing just fine. Finer than a frog's hair split three ways, in fact. If I were any finer, I'd have to be BHO.

#24 Arbalest,
I was able to initially get Instapundit and Hotair before the 'Operation aborted' message. Subsequent attempts only generated a blank screen followed by the popup. It sounds that these web sites 'may' be infected with some sort of payload.

Interesting problem. I just tried to log onto Michelle Malkin and got the actual home page but then was told IE couldn't open the site. Odd. Is this happening at Daily Kos too?

Anyone have Al Gore's cell # ?

Also got a "pay pal" error, maybe it is the pay pal add.

Speaking of "intermediate fossils", I've never understood how the bolt-action, metal cartridge, single shot rifle came into being. You'd think that, with the precedent of the Winchester and Henry repeaters, they'd have said "hey, let's add a magazine".

i know i have ie and also vista

re: #36 Sharmuta

Oh, Okay. FTW is an abbreviation of F*ck The World. Normally this wouldn't really apply, but in the blog/forum world adding "FTW" to the end of something, like "Cold beer FTW", translates loosely to "Cold beer rules".

You're most likely to see that on gaming forums, many of which I lurk on.

Certainly terrorism.

/Bill Gates

i can't get on to jawa report or ace of spades any which way and could only get onto lgf via google.

but the mesaage comes from IE as an abort

Oh come on you can't blame global warming/climate change, you have to blame chimpy mchitlerburton, he messed up Al Goricals interweb thingy. The O'mesiah will have to discuss the problem with terrorists to figure out who to surrender to in order to fix the problem. mpw

I wouldn't be surprised to see some advertisement be the cause of the problem. Lefty blogs usually get lefty ads, and if the troublesome one is a conservative ad, that would explain the hits on conservative blogs. (I know only a little about how this all works, so this is at best a minimally informed guess.)

It looks like it might be a problem with Sitemeter and IE7.

Internet Explorer cannot open my blog.

That makes SO MUCH more sense than what I assumed. Thanks for that, now I don't have to scratch my head wondering folks were using FTW. I just thought it was some internet colloquialism with weird origins.

Thanks for straightening that out for me.

Could this be a serious problem?

re: #53 ted

Anyone have Al Gore's cell # ?

I can get it and his home number if ya want........ Serious

I posted this in the previous topic

It seems that IE 7 operation aborts when sitemeter tries to load on the affected sites. Sites that don't use sitemeter are okay.

Thanos, I got there, so it could very well be Sitemeter.

I went to Kos, held my breath and clicked on a couple links on the Blog roll. Crooks and Liars didn't work either. So it's not just the right side.

Sitemeter would explain why my personal blog works but others on blogspot don't.

re: #53 ted

BR549.

Now problems at all here. Debian Linux / Iceape.

(For those wondering what the hell Iceape is, it's mozilla that did not become Firefox. All clear?)

re: #65 Sharmuta

That's what I thought too, but Thanos set me straight. It's "For The Win". Makes WAY more sense.

re: #48 snowcrash

Really? I finally got Firefox on Monday but checked my old IE6. I got on Hot Air with no problem. Tried to check some others but couldn't go there. Possibly a different problem as I had already been having trouble going to links for the last couple of weeks.

So Charles definitely made a wise decision when he removed sitemeter here.

If it is, get ready for major Charles justified gloatage.
/iirc, he didn't want to use Sitemeter, for reasons I forget, privacy maybe?

I had some "Operation Aborted" failures a few months ago (XP & IE7), but then I installed a new C: drive, completely barebones, ground-up. No problems since.

Speaking of "intermediate fossils", I've never understood how the bolt-action, metal cartridge, single shot rifle came into being. You'd think that, with the precedent of the Winchester and Henry repeaters, they'd have said "hey, let's add a magazine".

You have to remember that this was immediately after most armies had just switched from percussion muzzle-loaders, so, for them, something like the Martini-Henry was itself a huge step forward, and it wasn't until the 1880s-1890s that repeating rifles with a practical amount of power (at least for military use) were developed; the Russians did use some Winchesters prior to the turn of the century, but lever-actions were seen to be "weaker", "short-range" guns, because they have springy actions.

1) I can't afford the monthly fees
2) I can't afford the time ('cuz I know I'll get sucked in like a penny in a vacuum cleaner)

They are wildly popular, though, and a genius business move by developers/publishers.

I played for bit early on, but after UO online most of them seemed pretty tame and I quit.

re: #204 largolarry

hmm, i don't have a yahoo toolbar

"it seems to be fixed by closing yahoo toolbar."

I have IE and a Google toolbar. Should I try closing the Google toolbar?

I have about 10 sites I tried

All of the sitemeter sites

All failed in IE7

All work fine with FireFox or Opera

re: #194 Inquisitive

Has there been a link or post about Obama's new website...........
"The Obama campaign launched a new website, LowRoadExpress.com, to answer the barrage of false, negative attacks launched by the McCain campaign. 'The Low Road Express' is a new website that will document and fact check the McCain campaign's misleading and increasingly negative ads. At LowRoadExpress.com the Obama campaign will correct the record and fact check the barrage of false attacks the McCain campaign continues to launch." "
[Link: adage.com...]

"Welcome to the Low Road Express."
"Paid for by Obama for America"
[Link: my.barackobama.com...]

Aplace where bottom feeders can meet the vast croed that got tossed uder the bus? Sounds like a cyber labor camp prototype of The New Order.

May be a good idea for them to set up a plausibly (or implausibly it doesn't matter with MSM in the tank) deniable off site for moonbat feeding. Sort of an in house shark tank to test drive attacks and provide talking points to house trained reporters.

OT: A Toyota Segue-like thingy
[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

As long as we're talking about techno-glitches.

I happen to think the Segue is the stupidest piece of engineering I have ever seen, but apparently someone at Toyota has to outdo them.

Charles, THANK YOU for this post. I've been having problems since about 9:30pm EST, but I thought it was just ME! There is no other word about this that I could find, so seeing your post about it was a relief.

re: #201 willowone

snicker. all my children have taught me much patience, and have i have learned to adjust without too many stomach churns

I think you'll make it ... hopefully into sanity ... otherwise, down here with the rest of us.

I'm using IE7 and can't get Sitemeter.

OT Obama drilling flip-flop

re: #195 loafingoaf

I just got back from bicycling to the liquor store and have my adult beverage in hand. (I ride my bike to the liquor store because I like to balance my vices with some virtues. :) Now that I got my exercise in, I can drink the night away!)

Always good to balance a bad habit with a good one, that's why I pace when I smoke.

The bad news here is that I"m all out of Cognac, and I'm down to drinking this raspberry liqueur my wife uses for chocolate cakes.

Yup, it was a relief for me too. I was really getting frustrated till I stopped by and saw this post.

ROTFLMAO!

Talk about masochistic - I opened my old EI browser just to check this - and bingo - operation aborted - boing. Back to Firefox.

re: #148 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Ha! That is funny.

BTW, bukkake will turn up some very NSFW materials, google at your own risk

I am familiar with the term (first read it on Maddox's site), but did not search it until I found Urban Dictionary. A great source for "WTF does that mean" without getting assaulted with life scarring pictures.

I don't "google" terms that I am unfamiliar with. I got "Rick Rolled" with a goatse once, and learned my lesson.

/also, I don't google, as a rule

re: #196 pre-Boomer Marine brat

Heh

I remember one about a week ago that I just stayed the hell away from.

I'm sure people saw and remember who did what. Some are so deliberately rude that even when they are right they are still wrong. It weakens defendable positions and stops exploration. And I am no softy on debating.

Tired. Going to bed. But for those of you who were not able to look at this earlier because of Satan's ‘Operation Aborted’ error...

These are the best O'drama facts ever....

If someone re-linked this before....sorry. (Not really.)

MSDN is the Microsoft Developer Network
When M. Murcek mentioned IE8 I thought I'd go there, download it and give it a go.

Balancing a good habit with a bad habit is a good thing, if taken in moderation.

Tanks.

Wasn't there a big split in the IE7 development team on what to do with non-standard HTML? Something about the traditionalists wanting to work with it and the others wanted to let it blow up the page. Don't remember how it came out but could that be it?

re: #208 Thanos

I played for bit early on, but after UO online most of them seemed pretty tame and I quit.

Some are hit and miss. Ones I played

SWG - Lots to see, little to do
CoH/CoV - Pretty good till they nerfed everything and server issues made the game lag all the time
Tabula Rasa - Good Engine and reasonably fun, but peters out after lvl 30 as you're just running the same things over and over. Would have been better as a pure FPS system.
WoW - Usually pretty good. High end content you need to get a guild for. I've been playing in cycles lately. On 3-4 months, take 1-2 months off.

I find my navel quite comforting, except when I try to enhale.

I think we can solve the energy problem at least through the election by attaching Obama to a generator. Every time he flip-flops, he'll generate power.

Goddess ... where ARE you ?!?!

That's the kind of change I can agree with
(still ain't votin' for ya', though, Barry).

re: #238 willowone

(I'm about to make it more "exciting", if I can get goddess to answer her doorbell.)

Getting late. Want to toss this idea out. We should really promote people viewing The Great McGinty. The minute just before this is where Akim Tamiroff explains that he is the head of the machine behind the Reform Party as well as the machine party, because he isn't going out of business just because of an election. Every word in it is true and no one can see it and take Obama seriously.

OMG. A Anti-Israel, Pro-Rape and far-left wing leftist professor was arrested for rape. Where the hell do these freaks come from!?!

I believe there was some mention of a boob thread

hmm, well i couldnt open talk left , so it isnt a conspiracy! i was getting slightly noivous

re: #250 conservativeChick
and why are they in positions of power with our children

Hmm, IE7 is doing some goofy things now after latest update, zoom just bounced way up and then back again.

re: #247 Da_Beerfreak

All this has got to be good news for the Hilldabeast.

It will certainly make her 2012 "I told you so" run a lot more likely.

The man who invented the World Wide Web. I dare you to click.

Hmmm, I'm using IE6 ver. 6.0.2900.yadda.yadda and it starting puking up about 2-3 hours ago with exactly this problem.

Apparently it's not just IE7...

Ok, not being able to hit some sites is becoming detrimental to my Friday night reading, I"m off to see if there's a 64 bit version of firefox. Back later

re: #250 conservativeChick

PRO rape? ? ?

Just switched to firefox, no problems like I was having with IE7

LGF Spy works fine w/ IE7, flickers when I view 'new comments'

PHILADELPHIA - For days before Danieal Kelly died in a fetid, airless room — made stifling hot by a midsummer heat wave — the bedridden teenager begged for something to drink until she could muster only one word: water.

Going to bed with this poor girls nightmares.

Meh.

re: #259 Catttt

Yep. Pro-Rape. The story is at Ace of Spades and reading what goes on at that university is one of the most anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-American things I have ever heard go on in a university.

It effects access to Instapundit and Althouse, just two of my favorite blogs. Crashing access to Instapundit is like denying access to a judge, a lawyer, or to our beloved Head Liziod and/or his many minions!

It must be the doing of Pelosi and Reid, two chief chieftains of the Evil Empire!

This must be fixed or else: Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

QUICK FIX! QUICK FIX! QUICK FIX!

If you're suffering these problems in IE7, add "*.sitemeter.com" to your list of restricted sites. That will force IE to reject the bad code. I was having the same problems and now they're gone.

Procedure:

1. Open menu item: Tools...Options
2. Click "Security" tab
3. Select "Restricted Sites"
4. Click "Sites" button
5. Under "Add this website to this zone", enter "*.sitemeter.com" without the quotes
6. Click "Add" button
7. Close windows using "Close" or "OK", not "Cancel".

After that, and without a restart, Sitemeter's thwartage is thwarted!

BTW, junkscience.com is also affected.

re: #245 itellu3times

Nope. Talk about a death wish. The Dems would lose black voters - all of them.

Okay, that does it. I'm off to download Firefox. People have been telling me to for ages but I was too lazy...plus I guess I'm stubborn about change. But I had put aside this evening for drinking booze, vegetating, and messing around on the web all night after returning from Columbus, Ohio, where I took the bar exam. My plans are being screwed up by Microsoft! BTW, my next laptop will definitely be a MAC.

re: #253 willowone

It a University. Does it really surprise you to hear that going on in a liberal leaning University. I have David Horowitz book "The ProFessors" and reading who teaches at this University's will make you weep.

thought it was just me lol
i switched to ff a couple hours ago, all teh sites i visit where crashing..
