Found his blog had closed, and was redirected to another site.
First hoop.
Got this message:

Too many hoops, so I gave up.
There are two main reasons I disable Javascript. One is that it is sometimes exploited by sites that have viruses, malware, and other bad behaviour. The second is that some sites, especially news sites, have streaming video or whatever they call it that eats up bandwidth at a rapid rate.
Telkom recently upped the monthly bandwidth allowance to 9 Gigs, and for the last two months we have managed to reach the end of the month without having to buy more bandwidth, but I'm not taking any chances by enabling Javascript for all sites all the time.

Yeah, see, in the US there are no bandwidth restrictions.[1] We had them in the UK when I first started using the internet in about 1999 but the restrictions died out there too.
[1] I can actually pick up a neighbour's wi-fi from here. They seem to keep it on almost 24/7 and it's unlocked. There have been times when ours dropped out, my computer picked up their WiFi and I found out I'd been using theirs for awhile without knowing it!
