All day long....

Pages at USMB have failed to fully load. My browser (firefox) tells me what it is up to in the lower left corner until a page is fully loaded. Of course, at that time the icon in my tab will change from the working .gif to the standard USMB red white and blue eagle logo.
In this tab, I see "waiting for googleapis.com"
In another tab at a thread in the Flame Zone, I'm seeing "read static.luminate.com.
And in a third, on my profile page, I see "transferring data from luminate.com"

What's going on here? Just what data is luminate.com perpetually sending me?
What if I don't feel like waiting for googleapis.com?

I cleaned my toilet today.

Now remind me... what's your problem?

You haven't stopped by my place yet. What the hell am I paying you for?

(You may need to bring steel wool.)

This page has been supposedly "transferring data from luminate.com" for nearly 10 hours. WTF????

Use Firefox.

Get NoScript

Mark those sites as untrusted.

It's nothing but some casual data mining.

Thanks, Ravi. Seems to have worked.
