The Juiced ad on the frontpage makes my PC melt

Sorry, but the frontpage isn't usable for me. The Juiced ad (at least I think that is what causes it) makes the crappy work PC here (700 MHz I think) freeze for a few seconds and stutter like mad. Scrolling the site up or down is nearly impossible. Not when it's loading it from the net, but simply when it's displying it. :-/

AdBlock is your friend. Happens in Firefox on the home PC, just takes it's ball home. I try to scoll down and nothing happens for about 2 seconds.

Yes, not much use at work here I am afraid though, where I am stuck with IE.

Can you convince the tech boys to let you use googlebar or something else with adblocking capabilities?

Put this in your bookmarks instead?

Surely anything of interest will be discussed here and linked to.

Christ, I use adblock on my machine at work so I have only just experienced this. My poor laptop is still gasping and wheezing. That has to be THE craziest overuse of video in a flash banner I've ever seen, the video is hyuuge. Someone needs to learn about optimization tbh.
