While I agree you shouldn't have to pay NOT to receive a service, the provider will just turn around and point out the fact there are pay-as-you-go options, perhaps with a different carrier.
behavior patterns + credit card = a way to use the card and not get flagged as suspicious activity.
Sounds like the kind of derivative information that credit card companies (c|sh)ould already be selling^H"sharing" with their partners and/or third parties.
Is Pulseaudio still required? I really got fed up in Ubuntu 9.10 when they made the volume control stack Dependant on it. If you removed PA, you would get a "waiting for sound system to respond" message when trying to select an audio device... and your graphical volume control would break.
I feel your pain. Although I am still using jaunty, I have a stable situation whereby to turn on my laptop's external speakers, I have to plug earphones into the headphones jack [sic]. Trying to switch to alsa didn't work, and I'm not sure I was the problem or the software was bungled.
I dunno...it just worked out of the box. The video has to be playing. The upper portion of the right-click flash menu seems to depend on the host site, whereas the lower part seems to be consistent (Settings, Global settings, About Adobe Flash player 10). Check your about:plugins.
Also I'm using the 64-bit driver on a laptop with radeon (RV620) video.
The 64-bit plugin for Linux has never had hardware acceleration enabled. The 32-bit version does... maybe they've finally enabled it in this new version. I'll switch to this if that's the case... otherwise, I'm happy with my 32-bit plugin and smooth full screen video.
There is no legal time scale inherent in maximizing profit for shareholders. Is that profit to be done over...the long haul? Five years? One year? Financial anal cysts^W^Wanalysts do look at quarterly and annual increases and earnings per share. This information is used to set up shareholder expectations.
(rant) I'll add that my derisive treatment of analysts is warranted, IMO, in how they project the idea that making a profit is not good enough if they believe the company could have done better. Also, there is nothing *in practice* (yes, there are laws and perhaps ethics against it, but this is the US) that is stopping them from making too high of expectations and profiting on that "information."

caused me to downgrade to v.2. Window sizes and positions weren't saved, and the application windows were greyed out. Loved the new search function, however.
You mean absence of glaciers perhaps. I took GP's post as speaking to Earth's warming up over a time span of 100k years because the glacier volume now is much less than what it was then.
If you fly an airline that charges for checked bags, and you accidentally put a banned item in the carry-on, you either have to pay the fee to check the bag, lose the item, or mail at a high cost (if you have time). Probably this isn't a very big revenue generator, but I still find it annoying. The same goes with banning bottled water then selling it for $3 a bottle. Or setting up long security lines, then letting people through who pay a higher rate. This last one seems undemocratic. Its different than having better 'first class' seating for people who pay a premium, since the security lines are mandated by the government, not by the airline. (Though 'first class' seating is discriminatory also, if companies are getting breaks on their ticket prices that aren't available to everyone.)
Whatever happened to "live free or die"?
It occurs to me that we have control over those items though: If you accidentally mispacked your bags, that is your fault. You can generally carry empty water bottles through security. IIRC, you pay for the expedited trip through security. I would think perhaps the government does a background check on you. If that is the case, then it appears to be a matter of paying the government for your convenience.
If anything, I would like to see the salaries and benefits of the airline executives. Are they raking in more at the public's expense?
Argh. It occurred to me too late. Perhaps you're questioning the "economy" that was brought to life as a result of the creation of the Transportation Security Administration. Interestingly, the mission of the TSA reads: "The Transportation Security Administration protects the Nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce." I agree that many people have felt less free to travel.

I imagine if you wear such treated clothing in an airport terahertz scanner, you would fall under suspicion and be taken to a private room for further investigation.
But what you're suggesting as human gratification might cause problems in the food chain. Mosquito feed their young with blood from warm-blooded animals, not restricted to humans. Other animals (frogs, fish, birds, etc.) feed off the mosquito population, and humans do eat some types of those animals.
Alternatively, Yahoo could have advertised themselves as an alternative to the information-sharing sites like Facebook, Google, etc. However, since they didn't, they must have figured they still have a net gain even after the backlash.
If you want to be standards compliant, you'll throw away the outdated notion of a pixel-perfect lay-out. It's all about flexible lay-outs.

I mean, there would be no reason to stop at the browser used? The mode of internet access---heck, even IP address---could be factored in as well.

Looks promising!
Will someone please get this walking carpet out of my way!?
it's just shrinkage cuz it's cold in space. Happens to every moon, doesn't it?
It is very cold....in spaccccccccce.

dban is great, but is slow. Wiping a 500gb drive takes several hours at least.
Shred and the like are only useful when you don't have a journaling filesystem. So that means anything but ext2 (including ext3) defeats it.
No need to be concerned about journaling really; just apply shred to the partition or entire disk.

My username aside, I have always found that sound inexplicably pleasant....until now.

That said, I have already deleted my contacts.
This explains all those sexy emails my girlfriend has been getting from all kinds of different guys in her gmail account
Don't blame us, blame Google. It goes to show how googling "NEDHead's girlfriend" and hitting the I'm Feeling Lucky button is really that good.
Crap. I didn't scroll down far enough before commiting the same joke.
Lots of my fellow students copy sentences and whole paragraphs from Wikipedia verbatim, without citing sources. I hate that.
With Amazon and Microsoft being businesses, hence for-profit, I was wondering if anyone has taken a stab at cloud R&D in academia.
