    Internet Explorer 6 on the gadget commonly known as Windows XP SP2 enjoys
    a fairly robust "popup blocker".

    This little 'thing' has been a major irritation to date. Nothing gets past
    it until now. Chatter exists that some sites have defeated it on the
    causal default setting. We only deal in the high settings here !

    Our Chairman and CEO, Mr. Liu Die Yu takes the sledgehammer and cracks
    open this bothersome little nut like so:

    Notes:

    1. Nothing like a bit of irritation to get constructive
    2. Additional popup blocker from MSN is also killed, may may Die ! too
    3. Get editive before it's too late: http://www.editive.com
    4. None
