How to stop popup blockers

I don't know the answer. But I do know that someone has figured it out.

http://www.btscene.com/details/881376/

Using Firefrox, with popup blocker enabled, click on just about
anything on that page. You will be treated to a full-screen popup
window advertising hot girls. Why they thought someone searching for a
Gernsheim symphony would be interested in hot girls escapes me.

I find this on more and more sites. Searching the Firefox forums I find
that it is being treated as a bug in the popup blocker.

So if you're creating a website and you want to annoy the hell out of
your visitors, apparently there is now a way.

Using Firefox 3 on Fedora 6, I don't get any pop-ups, not even the
warning that a pop-op was attempted.

It's a torrent site, a lot of them are supported by ads of porn sites.

SELinux and NFS root...

Anyone know how to make SELinux and NFS root play nice together on the
server side without disabling SELinux?

everybody, but require basic authentication for write access?

It looks like WebDAV supports ACL's for that type of access control but the
documentation I've found so far isn't very good.

Something like this might work.  I'm not sure whether the Satisfy Any 
line is required, so you might want to try it both ways.  Also, don't 
forget that you'll need to set up ssl if you care about the security 
of your passwords.

...
   # try anonymous access first, resort to real
   # authentication if necessary.
   Satisfy Any
   <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
     Require valid-user
   </LimitExcept>

   # how to authenticate a user
   AuthType Basic
...
