You can choose whether or not you want "targetted" advertisements in
Opera. By default the option is not to monitor your access.
-- Ben M. ---------------- What are Software Patents for? To protect the small enterprise from bigger companies. What do Software Patents do? In its current form, they protect only companies with big legal departments as they: a.) Patent everything no matter how general b.) Sue everybody. Even if the patent can be argued invalid, small companies can ill-afford the typical $500k cost of a law-suit (not to mention years of harassment). Don't let them take away your right to program whatever you like. Make a stand on Software Patents before its too late. Read about the ongoing battle at http://swpat.ffii.org/ ----------------
