Adblock vs. Snaps

just a quick note in case anyone has the Filterset.G ruleset installed and wonders why there are no more snapshot previews.

Apparently the url contains the part "ad=" which will be blocked by the rule:
/[^a-z\d=+%@](?!\d{5,})(\w*\d+x\d)?\d*(show)?(\w{3,}%20|alligator|avs|barter|blog|box|central|context|crystal|d?html|exchange|external|forum|front|fuse|gen|get|house|hover|http|i?frame|inline|instant|live|main|mspace|net|partner|php|popin|primary|provider|realtext|redir\W.*\W|rotated?|secure|side|smart|sponsor|story|text|view|web)?_?ads?(v?((ition|meta|tology3|versal)\.com|(marketplace|rom)\.net|action\.se|bot|brite|broker|bureau|butler|cent(er|ric)|click|client|content|coun(cil|t(er)?)|creative|cycle|data(id)?|engage|entry|er(tis\w+|t(pro)?|ve?r?)|farm|feelgood|force|form|frame(generator)?|gardener|gen|gif|groupid|head|ima?ge?|index|info|js|juggler|layer|legend|link|log|man(ager)?|max|mentor(serve)?|mosaic|net|optimi[sz]er|parser|peeps|pic|player|po(ol|pup|sition)|proof|q\.nextag|re(dire?c?t?|mote|volver)|rotator|sale|script|search|sdk|sfac|size|so(lution|nar|urce)|stream|space|srv|stat.*\.asp|sys|(tag)?track|trix|type|view|vt|x\.nu|zone))?s?\d*(status)?\d*(?!\.org)[\W_](?!\w+\.(ac\.|edu)|astra|aware|adurl=|block|login|nl/|sears/|.*(&sbc|\.(wmv|rm)))/

If you want to reenable the previews, the easiest way is to add he following rule which whitelists te entire snap.com domain:
@@.snap.com

Hope you find this little notice helpful.

Hail to the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Flying Spaghetti Monster
I guess its about time some of the first believers should come to proselytize germany. The culture minister of Hessen, Karin Wolff (CDU), is suggestion "modern biologie classes". And now guess what she means by "modern"...

Yeah right: she wants to introduce the christian genesis into biologie classes ... if thats modern, i really dont want to know in which time she is living right now.

But nevertheless this should never be allowed. I mean whats the religion class for? If you really want to tell about intelligent designs you should introduce an obligatory ethics class, where you teach about all religions and their different approaches. Maybe this could even cover the FSM theory ;). But there is definately no place for those in the biology classes. Nor is it acceptable to teach only one the christian approach. Thats just bullshit.

So if they really try to push this suggestion, i call all of the pastafaris to stand up for our equal rights. Stand up for the teaching of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the biology classes. Stand up and fight for sanity.
