Re: sound off!
It's like when my phone rings at 3:15 in the morning because someone dialed a wrong number - a gain. Sure, I could turn the ringer off on my phone, but isn't it easier just to answer the phone and yell at the rude person on the other end?

Re: sound off!
But I agree, this kind of pushy ads are bad. But I don't see the value in the noises various software packages generate already.

Yeah. NO, this STILL isn't Jerry.
No, really, I don't even know Jerry.
It's no joke. Yep, good luck. Gbye.
Welcome to like 3-4 times every friday at my house. I've memorized the voices of lindsay, mike and tim, and I really need to get a life.

Re: sound off!
This is why the phone company needs to get with the program and allow customers to keep their number when they move. Every time we've ever moved a similar scenario has occurred, like the guy in Phoenix who used to call long-distance at 4AM to leave long rambling incoherent messages on the answering machine.

Off the topic ...
( Note, I ONLY do this when it is a repeat offender because I like to be treated kindly when I occasionally dial a wrong # )
1. If the same caller always calls asking to speak to so and so ... kindly state that as soon as ___ removes their mouth from your dick you will be happy to have them return the call ... as the wrong number abuser sits in silence, ask them what # to have ___ return the call to.
You can also say that ___ has been arrested for child molestation, drunk driving, exhibitionism, etc ... BE CREATIVE !
2. If the calls happen to be of a business nature and your tired of getting calls for so & so's restaurant, kindly tell the caller that you have been closed down because one of your employees was caught jerking off into the coleslaw.
3. If the call is always from the same tele-marketing firms, tearfully explain that the person in question has " passed on " and that by receiving these types of calls it serves only to reminds you of your great loss. ( You will have your # removed because you are playing on their sympathy )
You can either get pissed about the wrong # abusers or have fun with them ... its up to you :-)

Re: sound off!
I put all the desireable websites the require active scripting in my "trusted zones".
In IE, go to tools--internet options--security, click on the "custom" button. Scroll throught the list and find "active scripting, and click "disable", then OK, ok.
It's worth a shot.

Re: No Subject Given
All those programs do is hide the visual window, preventing you from even stopping the ad sound without closing the main buddylist.
They DO start without ANY warning, and play at a soft enough volume that you have to listen to even realise they are ads! They are EVIL!!!!!!! EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

remove annoying aol audio adds
Open up hosts file. For Windows 2000 its in:
C:WINNTsystem32driversetc
Other systems do a search.
add two entries to the file:
127.0.0.1 ads.web.aol.com
127.0.0.1 ar.atwola.com
Then save the file and either restart your computer or from command prompt type "ipconfig /renew"
Upon restarting AOL Instant Messenger the add area should display a broken link because it can't reach the adds. All other functionality works fine.

Re: remove annoying aol audio adds
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:winntsystem32driversetchosts
Windows XP Home c:windowssystem32driversetchosts
Open the 'hosts' file in notepad. You can add the entries at the end of the file
Usually after the entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost
The bottom of the new file will now look like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 ads.web.aol.com
127.0.0.1 ar.atwola.com
Having extra lines is fine. These added lines prevent AOL from reaching the add servers.
