Ok so I'm just getting into learning about using user scripts & a couple of them are pretty useful.
I've discovered one for premium accounts for various sites.... films & stuff. (nowt rude ! )
But when I load the page up it's asking me for cookies for the site.... where do I get them from?

Well I guess most folks would use Tescos but seeing as I try my best not to, I'd recommend your local CO-OP as they usually have a good bargain or two to be had in the biskwits section and a half decent range of cookies.

Does this need a thread? You could just PM Nov and andy

Of course it needs a thread

Sorry for taking up valuable thread space in an infinite amount of thread spaces.


I was hoping for some general banter about any useful user scripts if you must know !
It's the path to free stuff!

If you have Firefox.... install this

then install this script

if you go further down the page here it gives you a list of sites you can get premium access to... but it's asking for cookies!

What's a user script?

I've only just discovered them so I'm not too sure!
But basically, they're small programs that people have written to develop & enhance web based stuff that can be used in conjunction with your browser.
There's various hacks there too.
Since using them I've managed to block ads on Facebook which I thought was pretty good. Looks like there's all sorts of other stuff you can do like autocomplete surveys... change how Google appears & so on.
I found out about them because I was on some site looking for a free film to watch & the inevitable 'you need the blah blah blah plug-in that will contain a virus and you can't continue without installing it' message. So i found out how to bypass it.... & won.

If you install Greasemonkey as above,
this website then has shit loads of scripts you can use.
userscripts.org/scripts

Sounds like a recipe for a computer restore

I've managed to break the fan on my laptop tonight after trying to stop it from whirring so loudly. I hoovered out some dust & hair now the fan is fucked!
It's overheated once already so now I'm on a biscuit tin full of ice!

Sounds like the laptop version of the Millenium Falcon

It was probably the hair and dust that was holding the fan together Although you may have had the hoover's suction on too powerful a setting. I hoover my PS3 vents every few weeks or so.

yep i definitely hoovered it too hard I've got one of those Hetty hoovers & they're v. powerful. The friggin hair was trapped by the vents though so I just had to blast it full suction! I only did it coz the mrs was moaning about it whirring all the time & kept switching it off every time I left the room!
Not long left for this computer now....screen has gone, fan gone, buttons missing, keyboard is full of dog hair & baccy & little bits of weed that have escaped.... must've had it about 6 years though so a good innings!
