I use air conditioning. I surf with Javascript turned off. I hate pop up 
windows! If your site doesn't work without Javascript, I won't stay. As for 
paying for it, I do not spend money on web services just to be irritated by 
pop ups.

I just think it's annoying.

On the other hand, cookies raise privacy issues for me. I'm cautious about 
indiscriminantly accepting cookies. I am also concerned that Java poses a 
security risk but I've so far had no bad experiences.
