Over the past couple of days when I access MetaFilter (via XP Professional and I.E. 7.0.5730.13) the
Internet Explorer Information Bar has 'popped-up' with a security warning: "This website wants to run the following add-on: 'Microsoft Data Access - Remote Data Services Dat...'"
Having done a
Google search, it appears that in the past two-weeks visitors to other websites have been getting the same warning.
I have not allowed/given access to the pop-up warning.
Any ideas as to what's up?

So, I was all set to take the survey which is mentioned at AskMe (
right-hand side, under the list tags/post block)
"MetaFilter Readers. Support this site and its advertisers by participating in a brief survey: questionmarket.com."
Unfortunately, this is the result when clicking on the link: "The website you're looking for cannot be found. The website may no longer exist, or may have moved."

MetaFilter Debate Society. Who would you pick for you side? Who would be the ideal opponent(s)?

Genuine question here - and not meant to be a "call out".
When exploring the
Text Adventures post I noticed that the Photopia hyperlink was to a .zip file.
I am cautious about clicking on any .zip and .exe files online. Is there any protocol about linking to such on an FPP? At the very least shouldn't one note that the hyperlink is to a .zip by indicating so (i.e. Phototopia [note: .zip file])?

Despite some recent messiness, snarking and call-outs on the green and the grey, I (as a noob) am impressed with the recent examples of true connection and "kinship" as exhibited by the
life altering experiences thread in Ask MetaFilter (and discussed further
here) and the
heartfelt advice given to a frightened 20-year old who is about to enter a treatment center.
In the same spirit of recalling
favorite migs moments, can some of the longer-term folks share memorable moments where MeFi has demonstrated such “poignancy” and support to fellow MeFites?

Minor bug ... all text at AskMe is bold starting with the "I need a case for my iPod. [+] posted by Who_Am_I at 7:45 AM PST - 8 comments" - and below.
