Just found out something I can do in Firefox and thought I'd share.
You know how some sites don't allow direct linking like:
http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/6/c/2/zo ... wolf98.zip
http://db.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/file/tempest.txt
Try clicking on those...doesn't worK?
Of course you could copy and paste the text to your address bar...
or
If you're using Firefox: type "about:config" in the address bar and hit enter
Scroll down to "network. http. sendRefererHeader" and double-click on it.
Change the 2 to a 0.
This should be the default anyway. It's nobody's fucking business where I came from.
Anyway, it keeps the destination site from knowing whether I clicked on a link somewhere else or just typed the URL in and entered. Now I can just click on the links and they work!
Firefox ROCKS!

More browser hijinks.

BTW, it's not really a porn site and I see no reason anyone would want to visit it anyway but...
Tired of scumbag webmasters who won't let you browse their site if you're not using a browser they can use to fuck up your computer?
Tired of that little know-it-all in Barry's sig knowing what browser/OS you're using?
Don't think it's anybody's business what software you use and resent your browser giving away this information without your approval?
Type "about:config" in the URL box and hit enter.
Right click to bring the popup menu and click "new"
Type "general.useragent.override" in the "preference name" box.
Type whatever you please in the "string" box.
If you have any problem with sites that don't like unrecognized browsers, you can choose from a huge list of real UserAgent strings here:

You can choose to identify yourself as using whatever browser/OS you like.
Linux? IE 6?
I'm running Firefox on Windows XP.
