Those are some real marketing geniouses over at M$.

"Gee, lets put an add on a Linux website."

I think I'm going to call Coke and see if they want to put an add on Pepsi's webiste.

find out what the server is the image comes
from, and add it to your /etc/hosts file.

127.0.0.1 servername

or use the custom hosts file i use.

get it

(add the contents of that file before "#end of hosts file"
and after your current entries in your hosts file)

enjoy.

Moved: More suitable in the Website questions and suggestions forum.

To find out more how burstnet.com operates to display ads on affiliate sites like this one for sites to make some extra dough, visit this page at http://www.burstmedia.com/ which should explain how they work.

And yes, this has been asked all the time lately. Who cares if there is a M$ ad on a Linux site, if they want to pay everytime someone clicks on their banner, I say everyone click on it, it gives to this site each and everytime. I think I've clicked on it everytime I see it get loaded lately.

Regards.
