Same ole same old.
can anyone tell me why i keep getting a pop up box saying, "this page requires AC_run something something.js" whenever i load this site...?
I get that also when trying to load ZH while running 64-bit IE. 32-bit IE or FF don't give me the error. Moderate annoyance, but I can't see anything I'm missing even with the error.
I have 32 bit IE and I'm seeing the error as well.
My best guess is one of the ZH tracking engines like quantserve is using a Adobe Flash based app to count or track or identify and this file is missing on the ZH server.
AC_RunActiveContent.js, right?
The ZH Senior Researcher, Goldman Sachrilege just needs to add this file to the ZH root directory.
Also I vaguely remember this as a result of Flash cross-site scripting policy enforcement or your browser not allowing execution of Javascript.
You may want to fiddle with your Flash settings.

"Federal Reserve policymakers likely to leave economic supports in place"
Yeah, can't be putting that "robust", "V-shaped", "Green Shoots!!!" recovery in peril by removing the life-support now, can we.
Fire-up those presses, lads - DXY is still above 76!!
Holding pretty well too. Looks like strong support. Seriously.
True enough, that. Gold drifting down, DXY "rocketing" up to about 76.3 (though it just fell off a bit of a ledge) - looks like someone thinks something is gonna happen.
Everyone is now expected to raise expectations!
My aunt just got back from Key West last week and was diagnosed with Dengue Fever. The doctor said she most likely got it from a mosquito bite. Then I hear that Dengue Fever just appeared in Florida.
It appears like all types of new and old fatal diseases pop up when the economy approaches collapse.
