on facebook, the only good privacy setting is a customized setting. I have several lists set up and use their in/exclusion options to really make it specific to my privacy choices.
unless you don't let anyone view your tagged photos. in that case, none of those 5 pictures will show up on that page for anyone except you, as expected.
This has been evident in sports teams for ages. Great teams grow complaisant, new talent is brought in. It can be in the form of players, coaching staff, or upper management (GM)

I know, I love it. wiki for wikipedia, yt for youtube, imdb to search imdb.com... And they make it so easy to add new ones for ANY website with a search bar. You right click in the search box, choose "Create Search" and pick a key word. No need to add a %S wild card and figure out their url scheme for GET results. Works just as fine with POST forms too.
Chrome has a status bar. It doesnt show unless there is status though. It shows as a blue background box in the lower left of the browser.
There is a stop button. It shows up when a page is loading. It is located on the far right of the address bar. It replaces the "play" or "go" button that is there when you already have a page loaded. This makes a little more sense than Operas way of doing it, which is to show the stop button in place of the refresh button... however both make sense in their own way.
I rushed off to register domain names in protest:D

Last press release is almost a year old, and the developer kits which are promised on their website for "middle of 2008" are non-existant.
Shame.
This is the response I recieved when telling them I wanted to be able to turn off Beacon before I was "reported on"
Hi,
Thanks for your feedback about Facebook Beacon, it has definitely helped us make
some changes to the product that we hope will provide you with a better experience
on Facebook. Beacon was designed to help you share all the interesting things that
you are doing outside of Facebook with your friends. Just like you have full control
over your information on Facebook, you decide whether or not you want Beacon stories
to be published and from which site.
Your feedback has made it clear that Beacon can be kind of confusing. To fix this,
we are clarifying the way we inform you about a Beacon story before you decide
whether or not you'd like to publish it on Facebook. In addition, we're working on
making the sites that offer Beacon more visible to you, both on Facebook and through
visual cues, so you can determine which specific sites you can publish stories from.
Also, we're providing more information on how Beacon works through a new tutorial
and expanded help pages.
We are trying to provide you with new meaningful ways, like Beacon, to help you
connect and share information with your friends. Thanks for taking the time to
express your opinions about our products. There isn't currently a way to block all
sites before you've been sent any stories, but we'll keep it in mind for a future
improvement. Please keep the feedback coming as we continuously work to improve your
Facebook experience.
Thanks for contacting Facebook,
Ryann
Customer Support Representative

That's a pretty big change from what Mark was saying in his blog post if you ask me. That being said, the big problem is, all I have turned off is Facebook's reporting of the sites I visit. I essentially hit a switch that says "Track me, but dont let me know what you are getting!" I wonder if I should turn it back on, so I can at least keep tabs on it.
Also, I wonder if I will still see what sites have reported back to facebook with my information on the settings page, even though I have turned it off.
I thought I would be premtive. Turn this off before it starts doing this for me. I found it in the privacy settings. It's set to level 3 by default... whatever that means. When I select "edit settings" I get this:
Privacy Settings for External Websites
Back to Privacy Overview without saving changes.
Show your friends what you like and what you're up to outside of Facebook. When you take actions on the sites listed below, you can choose to have those actions sent to your profile.
Please note that these settings only affect notifications on Facebook. You will still be notified on affiliate websites when they send stories to Facebook. You will be able to decline individual stories at that time.
No sites have tried sending stories to your profile
Let me remind you, I am set to mystery setting 3 right now. As you can see there is no option to change this, I assume until it starts reporting from sites I have visited.
Does anyone know how to turn it off before it starts?
I don't know if you have noticed, but if you get one of those results, and would like to read the actual answers instead of the "register for the answer" masking... just use the google cache link for the page. That is why google lists the result, it sees the answer text and everything. This has always worked for me.
He has posted a clarification on his blog, dispelling anyone who thinks his original post was him claiming on behalf of Adobe that the Photoshop UI was bad. Instead, it is just not good enough.
Saul Williams has followed suite. He is offering his latest CD free (no DRM) in 192kbps MP3 format, while you can download higher quality for $5.00
Both version have album art in a PDF included. This album was produced by Trent from NIN, and if you haven't heard Saul Williams before, he is like a hip-hop-ish version of NIN. He has a cool cover of Sunday Bloody Sunday as well.
Whether this comment has merit right now doesn't matter to me right now. THIS is the reason I love reading slashdot. What other news aggregation site has members who can find stuff like that. First post no less. There is a very distinct intelligence difference here.
On the topic itself: It seems energy research has started getting a lot more attention than even cancer research now. Cancer research reports have gotten to the point where you now only hear about it when they have actually done somthing. Energy research postings are still at the stage where they only need to talk about maybe being able to do somthing for it to be newsworthy. I wonder when this will change again, and what it will change to.
I was very excited the first time i got mine. I was logged in, it was on a brand new story. After getting my camera and taking a picture of myself beside it (i'm joking, I swear that never happened...) I clicked refresh and it was the story it should be, and had comments already posted (i believe... lets say 70% sure, as my comment that I posted was a couple down from the top)
I wonder how many slashdot windows users are infected. I would venture a guess that there isn't very many. Computers are as smart as their users in a lot of cases, and most often that goes for security as well.
I just got my first ever "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along."
Anyways... it would be interesting to see what happens with this. Taking it to the real life examples... many shops that sell pipes and other drug-use paraphernalia have many run-ins with the laws, and yet they are still in operation to this day, and the only time actual legal repercussions are brought to the managers of these stores is usually through another issue, that it technically unrelated to their shop.
This should be the same issue. I would not be surprised if it is treated differently however.

I don't think he knows the difference between a browser being compatible and a website sniffing browsers and sending an unwarranted warning.

Poker is a fair game, unless one person in the group is able to count cards. Maybe polical parties can "count cards" while we all play on ignorantly.

As horrible as it is, I cant help but find this really neat. Captivating. I hate it, but I love watching what it can do.
