I've had 1,000% volume ads at 2 in the morning. I've seen pamper's ads. I've been hit with #$%^-dress ads. I've seen body builders with 3 year old heads. The anime ads. There are ads that install stuff on your PC. Just block Google's trash. WTF where why how idk, get it off there. Not to mention that's my data. My data on their scum traffic. Get it off my PC. tyComment by mbboulderLOL I thought Blizzard was hiring. :(Comment by riklaunimIt would be quite a unique experience to work as a developer around a game you like to play ;) There is a lot of things good developers can do that would be cool aids and tools. I still have my dungeon app to make - but so little time. Some time ago I used PHP, but now Python ;)

As for current website - on my cheap Win 8.1 tablet some JS is hanging IE browser some time after the page loads. Seems to be the item tooltip or something that comes alongside it - as it doesn't hang on pages without it (may not be accurate).
