Peace be with you! About a year ago, I created a JavaScript which turns any web site into an online anti-war protest: http://www.geocities.com/rgoya/javascript/PROTEST.HTM I have recently revamped the anti-war quotes quiz: http://www.geocities.com/rgoya/javascript/PROTCODE.HTM#usaquiz Please feel free to 1. Use the script, if you like it 2. link to my pages WHAT IS JAVASCRIPT? JavaScript is a text scripting language incorporated into web pages. It has very powerful abilities to manipulate the page, and provide viewer interactivity. I have received awards for a previous script "The Ultimate Original JavaScript Colorshow" ------------------ UP AGAINST THE WAR This customizable script periodically replaces the title, status bar, and form element values with various anti-war quotes, and also changes the bg & text colors. You may also choose to temporarily replace all the images. After the brief "protest" display, all original values are restored. An on/off feature is provided to prevent viewer frustration. UNCLE SAM'S AUNTIE (anti-war quote quiz) The quotes are split into the actual quote, and who said it. Then, they are rearranged each time the game is played. Multiple choice answers are randomly selected for each quote. Thus, the quotes and answers are never the same. These JavaScripts were created by Randall Goya for netSperience � 2003. Permission is granted for free use for non-commercial purposes. All other rights reserved; contact the author by email at rgoya@yahoo.com You may not charge a fee for this script. A link to my website would be appreciated. All original code is available at http://www.geocities.com/rgoya/javascript/PROTCODE.HTM rgoya

Is it foolish of me to point out that this newsgroup and the Internet would most definitely be censored, if allowed to exist at all, by the muslim fundamentalist who are trying to convert or subjugate the world? As an illustration, in Afghanistan, under the Taliban, music was not allowed. Playing a musical instrument could result in imprisonment, whippings, and even death. Women were not allowed education nor allowed to hold jobs. Women were also not allowed to be seen by male doctors under less the doctor was a close family relative. How many women and girls died due to a lack of medical care? Ask yourself does your family have a close male relative who is a health care professional? If not when the muslim fundamentalist take over, who is going to treat your female relatives? If you think America started this war, your perspective is wrong. Iraq is only a batllefield in a much larger global war that has been started by muslim fundamentalist. Go read the international news at http://news.google.com/. Sample headlines: over a hundred muslim teenagers were killed attacking police buildings in Thailand. Hundreds are killed every week in remote parts of Nigeria due to religious fighting started by the fundamentalists. The muslim leaders of the Sudan are exterminating non muslims thorugh the country. Muslim fundamentalists in the Philippines are a constant danger. And on and on. America could remove all of its troops from Iraq and the rest of the world. We could erect giants walls at our borders and completely shut ourselves off from the world. It would do nothing to stop the violence of muslim fundamentalism.

No. JavaScript is Netscape's ECMAScript implementation and in no way restricted to a Web user agent. Read the FAQ. Besides, there are Web documents, not Web pages.

He at a minimum knew basic courtesy. His shit isn't off topic. comp.programming is for programming issues that don't fit into a subgroup and there is no convenient subgroup for antiwar scripts. Antiwar scripts are "about" programming in demonstrate one way to use software for an application that many people find very worthwhile. Many office workers feel isolated and depressed by the prowar sentiments of their managers, who have enough money to send their children to colleges such that their children don't have to join the service to pay for school. They find a constructive outlet in creating screen savers which silently and in a rather attractive fashion display their feelings about the war. They aren't, in my view, misusing company property, since Lockean property is finite, but cycles on a computer that is idle are effectively infinite. Indeed, both games and political protests are excellent ways of monitoring the health of a computer system. Furthermore, if a reader has a problem with the political views embedded in the software, he has only to get the source and modify it in a trivial fashion to make a prowar program. I ask you to retract your vile and foul-mouthed abuse of a good faith post.

But this is not only posted to comp.programming but also crossposted to comp.lang.javascript, comp.lang.java.javascript, alive.internet.lang.javascript and alt.html (without Followup-To)!

The code's in javascript. Therefore, the techniques used will be of interest to javascript members, as well as be of more general interest to programmers outside the crossposted groups. > > > Antiwar scripts are "about" programming in demonstrate one way to use > > software for an application that many people find very worthwhile. > > They are nothing but a flamebait/troll. > Only because you don't like his politics. Given the extensive number of groups and of postings that, by default, support military applications in Usenet as a whole, it is impossible to be politically neutral simply by intimidating anti-war posters, since the bias is towards a dysfunction status quo that slants to the right. > > F'up2 poster > > PointedEars
