 Hi All,
I just found a disturbing trend used by some Internet providers, especially
ones in places like hotels. That being injecting code in to any web page
visited. As you know, I do not accept advertising for others on my website
http://emcesd.com[1] but you may see ads I have not put there. Below is a
clip from an article on blogs.nytimes.com and a link to the full article. If
you ever see an ad on my website from someone else, can you please capture a
screen shot and send it to me? I do not use annoying techniques, like
blinking banners, on my web page, in fact it is just flat html with out even
javascript. I try to make my site as informative to engineers as possible
without flashy banners and such.

" On its Web site, a company called RG Nets, which makes Revenue eXtraction
Gateway, explains[3] that its system rewrites every Web page on the fly so
that it can include a banner ad. &#8220;As you can see, the pervasive nature
of the advertising banner on all Web pages guarantees banner advertising
impression,&#8221; a narrator says in the video."

I am late this month on my Technical Tidbit because of my move from Silicon
Valley to Boulder City, NV, where I am at the moment.
