A moment of silence for the memories of Superheroes
Ok, I heard some disturbing news on the DC Comic super movies coming out soon. Apparently Jack Black is going to be playing Green Lantern.
There's also a Petition floating around to save the dignity of the GL. I signed it.
Warner Bros. is treating these well loved comic heroes as cartoon characters from Looney Tunes. First there was Catwoman, who is not Halle Berry, and cannot jump like Spiderman, nor does she dress like a dominatrix, now they're turning a thinking character like Green Lantern into a slapstick comedy? Will he fall into toilets and use his ring to give the finger to the bad guys? I suppose he sings too. Yay.

By the way, why are middle and right clicks disabled? My middle button (open in new tab) is my favoritest mouse button. Right (bookmark this link) is my second favorite. Left clicking sucks.

I did the right click disable for one of my posts with a bunch of pictures I don't own and I don't know where they came from. Not really stopping, but slowing people down from takin' the pictures.
Do you use Firefox? Ever tried Ctrl-T? ... that opens in a new tab, and Ctrl-D adds a bookmark. Of course keyboards are for suckers. :)

mouse click - I thought it might be something like that. Just had a quick look at the javascrtipt:
(damnit! I can't paste with my middle mouse button either. ;) )
function nrc(e) {
if (bNS && e.which > 1){
alert(am)
return false
} else if (bIE && (event.button >1)) {
alert(am)
return false;
}
}
middle click is 3, IIRC, so that's why it's getting caught, too. You could change it to event.button == 2 to only catch right clicks. Or you could just ignore a crotchety firefox/linux user and tell him to turn javascript off if it bugs him so much. heh.
