At least in terms of size, the mp3 strings are 23%~ lighter than the ogg strings.
Curious what quality they encoded them with.
It is a fart sound... how much quality do they need? lol

I've always felt ghostery is the poor-man's noscript. If he wants to know about all external calls (which he presumably does) then noscript will actually do that while ghostery will let 'good' ones by untouched.
I've read up on AdBlock, NoScript, Ghostery. I have no idea what differentiate's them. Some people run two or more. I have no idea if more means better. I don't have the gumption to splunk the code. I kinda wish either they'd declare each other competitors or embrace each other as compliments.
I think they do compliment each other. Both Ghostery and Adblock come with something NoScript doesn't have by design: A wide array of predefined filters (for trackers and ads, respectively).
However, NoScript is still very useful for (imho) two things: disabling extra functionality that you don't use in exchange for faster loading time, and for browsing on potentially dangerous websites.

#95My computer just farted very loud in a hotel lobby.
Sure... the computer did it. Can't you just blame the dog like everyone else does? lol

#96Jokes aside, I make my browser make a click when an external object is loaded and when a page starts and finishes loading. This audible enforcement is very helpful during development and to "hear" which sites are sneaking in external calls without bringing up firebug, etc.
would you share how you did this? is it a greasemonkey script or some sort of add-in?
Oh sorry I missed all the questions/replies for this.
I have my own firefox extension which I hacked up from an abandoned old firefox extension (called "soundextension" by Torisugari) not suitable for release, but there is a more modern extension here which does most of the same:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noise/
The click sounds I use are from old Windows 2000, I doubt XP/7/8 has them, NIMclick.wav and NIMover.wav
https://www.google.com/search?q=nimclick.wav+nimover.wav
I vaguely remember I also had to edit the sound files to cut the volume way down, so my PC sound could be at normal levels while the clicks were much more subtle in the background.
Once your brain is trained as to which click means what, you get a good sense of what a page is doing, sneakily or otherwise. Won't work with websockets though.

#98The Onion is the Mad Magazine of adults. I'd love to see them release a bunch of small joke JS libs like this.
Re: The Onion releases fartscroll.js
#99Really? This got voted up to number 1 on the front page, and so many awesome real projects are buried without ever getting anywhere? HN is really a joke now, I see. Haven't been around for a while. Sad.
The only sad thing around here is You.

#100Well I made a small intercepting proxy which inserts this JS if you want to try..
Use http proxy 92.163.21.52 port 9990 and start browsing :)
I'll let the VM opened for a few hours
edit: port 9999 edit2: port 9990
(changed the port because some botnet is using it to target a website and maybe that's because I used an online proxy checker to test it)
