ebay au has sort-of recently switched to a horribly ECZEMAscript-infested
"experience" - which sucks heaps. NoScript makes sure my browser
doesn't develop any unexpected rashes.
ebay without JS works fine as i need none of the "advanced features" (read:
time-wasting blinking gadgetry that make thing less usable).
"works", that is, with one major exception: sorting search results.
Selecting sort criteria now officially requires
that you allow all of ebay to run JS (and advanced search
doesn't expose most of the more useful sort criteria, like "price + postage").
obviously i can't have that!
oddly enough it's "JS to the rescue!" (ebay javascript = evil bloat,
greasemonkey javascript = pocket tool bliss)
my greasemonkey script here restores non-js search criteria:
find the unrelated search option and popup trigger elements in the page
and add the search option links as normal list back to the trigger. then make
it look good: the final
extra gimmick uses the fact that gecko-based browsers honor the CSS
class ":hover" for anything, not just anchors, so my script then makes
sure the sort option list only shows up when you hover over the current
sort criterion.
share and enjoy!

Queensland, with a reputation for having an overlarge share of
rednecks and toughs, manages to
properly jail a corrupt politician.
Austria, on the other hand, always manages to find new excuses for not
even prosecuting the lying bastards.
So which place is more sophisticated, cultured, decent?

It looks like some spammers have decided that snafu.priv.at is worthy
of a bit of hurt: sending out spam with the From:
header set to <randomglibberish>@snafu.priv.at has the "nice"
side-effect of directing all the bouncy crap my way.

...how beautiful Conny looks.
(the other two are her cousins.) But I'm way more proud of her being
a good and capable person.
