Florida judge approves class-action lawsuit against AOL Humor/Amusing6/26/2000; 8:35:59 AM "A Florida judge has approved a class-action, multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the world's largest Internet service provider, America Online, on behalf of hourly subscribers who viewed so-called "pop-up" advertisements."This is too funny. Both sides are nuts. According to the article, AOL does let you shut the pop-ups off, but turns them on again after a while (strange). Meanwhile, the plaintiff seeks a solution of bundling all the pop-ups at once at the end of the session... not realizing that it will still cost the user the time to download, because they don't understand how modems work.Specifically, the modem takes time to download those advertisements no matter when you view them. Even if you store them for off-line viewing (assuming you'd look at them at all), your modem still had to download them at a maximum speed of five kilobytes per second.What a world, what a world...
