[vox-tech] slashdot problem

Lately (a few weeks) I've been having a problem with slashdot. If I leave
the browser
tab open, they eventually send down something which causes my laptop to
burn cpu
cycles and eventually overheat and shut down. Today I had top running when
I noticed
it starting to get hot. I checked top and the cpu usage had jumped to over
50%
I closed the tab with slashdot and cpu usage immediately dropped to 1 or 2%
I'm running debian wheezy and the browser is chrome. ASUS laptop
with Intel i7 (4 cores)

Anybody have any idea whats going on?
