I can't believe I didn't look for something like that. 

I won't say a word. :x

Subject: Re: Rid yourself of X10 ads

I'd seen this before and have started using Mozilla to start surfing
popup sites, but since this uses cookies, with an expiration date, I
thought I should be able to permantently kill the damn ads by either
editing the cookie, or setting the expiration date manually.

After about five seconds of looking at the url below, I realized X10
made it super easy for us to kill X10 ads forever :) Check the link that
says Click Here...it looks like this.
http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=30&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10
ads
1.ht
m

Well I stuck this url in httpanalyzer, and the cookie got set to expire
Jan 16, then I changed the url to
http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=60&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10
ads
1.ht
m
and guess what? The cookie got set to expire Feb 15! :)

I also tested with 365 days, and it works...
As far as I know this is an original discovery by me...so don't go
spreading it all around town or X10 will fix it. :)
