I was going to post this a while ago but I thought I would give it some time to see if a decent solutions was released by Microsoft or Adobe/Macromedia. Recently Microsoft released an update for Internet Explorer which disables active content until the user directly interacts with it. This covers a range of areas although the only one to affect me so far is Flash based content. As far as I know the update isnt in their "high risk" zone so on the most part it will only be applied by people who perform a manual Windows Update and select everything.

So google seemed to hate my old domain name, maybe it got blacklisted as part of the no-ip free range. Either way I was getting thrashed in the listing by my photographer counterpart. The new domain is http://www.davidmillington.net which is replacing the old domain of http://www.millington.no-ip.org

I setup a bunch of 301 redirects to gradually move peoples links over to the new domain whilst keeping the search engines happy. Setting that up was a bit of a pain but now its mostly complete. Redirected links to the wiki still arent 100% sorted yet as they show the uncleaned urls tagged onto the new domain name.

Ars Technica - Windows XP on Intel iMac: confirmed - this is the article mentioned in the bbc story

Senators Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, and Evan Bayh recently announced that they will introduce "The Family Entertainment Protection Act" which would regulate the sale of certain video games throughout America.

Anti-video game forces are pressing forward. Gamers must stand up now and take action. The government does not regulate access to or the sale of movies, books or cable TV, and it should not regulate video games.

Please take action now and tell your Senators not to co-sponsor or support "The Family Entertainment Protection Act" via this site:

If it happens in America then it might only be a matter of time before mis-conceived idealogies such as this spread to other countries.
