I saw that, actually. It is precisely the vague wording used in that phrase that prompted my comment. Saying it is "easy" in the context of HN could make it seem like you can write a script to do it from the command line or a bookmarklet or something.

Does the nagware-popover technique work or will the average Internet user figure out how to circumvent this technology?
