Re: Sooner or later he's not going to have a choice said by AnonProxy:
Look it's simple, if you are that irate about cookies, ads, pop ups and the like, get a life, go outside and never go back on the internet.
Almost every ISP (infact ALL ISP's) have some for of advert on their websites...often times those adverts are placed by 3rd party ad services companies....you can run and hide from these folks but you will never really get away.
Now the question is what ISP is this idiot moving to? I'll bet his life isn't going to be any better no matter where he moves to.

Wrong on count one. Unless you see an ad here that I'm missing...it's all for the ISP (My ISP, in fact)
So by your rules, if a giant cockroach emerges from your computer every time you use the internet, and the ISP has this condition buried in their AUP, that would be okay?
Come on. |

| Re: Sooner or later he's not going to have a choic Cookies are harmless. I would never get irate about a cookie. I understand what they are and what they're used for, and it doesn't bother me a bit.
I wouldn't classify them as any sort of "-ware" as they are certainly not executable.
but AdAware uses them to inflate its item count. 
Cookies are delicious delicacies -Netscape preferences panel, years ago.

The whole web page is an add for the ISP, there isn't ONE ISP webpage out there that doesn't have adverts on it.
Heck it's got a BIG VOIP banner add on the right, CALL NOW!
SO again I'm right on all counts there isn't an ISP that doesn't have ad's and a lot of them are gonna dump cookies...sooner or later, in fact a lot SOONER, the guy is going to be out of ISP's to go to. |

Mozilla Firefox also mentions that line that you found in Netscape preferences panel.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies - and you will see Cookies are delicious delicacies.
