I hope you'll endure a product endorsement.. use Anonymizer Surfing when trolling for "sensitive" information on web sites you don't trust. Stops Java, Javascript, and cookies, hides your IP address, etc. Free trial available with delay; $5 per month in quarters eliminates the free trial delay. Yes, it's still sometimes slower, because the traffic travels further, but now it's sitting on a pretty reliable ATM network with decent connectivity. Mark Hedges Anonymizer, Inc.
Two minutes after that, my computer dialed up my ISP and connected to the Net again: it was the LANL page.
I hit 'STOP', and the connection timed out again, and that was that.
I hate the way there isn't some choice about allowing (JAVA?) to NOT do that unless expressly allowed.
