Keeps track of time wasted reading slashdot (or any page).

I love this thing...up to 48 hours. I would just change the include to *slashdot.com*, not *slashdot*.
Oh, and maybe a simple way to reorder the hours and minutes. I went into the code to change it to have hours on top and minutes at the bottom but it would be a lot simpler to have a variable at the top of the code that anyone can easily change.

I mean Henrik. Sorry ;-)

Heinrik, and even more, remove the reference to window. Or even better, since I can't see where else I reference that variable, remove it all together.... Hmm, yup. Still works fine! Had to add some z-index style rules after slashdot's upgrade to HTML4.01 and css.
Josh, this came from a stopwatch script that had a lap button, but I'd have to check into detecting loss of tab focus...

I believe you could shorten the first line to
window.cumulative = GM_getValue("countoff") ? GM_getValue("countoff") : 0;

One cool feature, that I'm not sure if its possible, would be to stop the counter when you're in another tab.

this is a cool and good looking script. can't get it to work though :/ minutes and hours always stays at 0. you've got to change the include too, to http://slashdot.org/articles/* or something.
