Flash would actually be more powerful than cookies, because it would share the same information between browsers. Browsers (IE, Firefox) typically have their own unique set of cookie data. Flash uses a single set of data for all browsers on a machine. So if you visit the Gadgetron (semi-fictional company) website using Firefox in the morning, and then return to the same site with IE, Flash will recognise you as the same customer. This works on Windows at least.
I personally have signed up for a new New York Times account about ten times over as many years. I don't read their web site regularly; I only access it when Slashdot, or another site, links to their articles. Then I try to remember a username/password. After that fails, I typically reregister or use Bug Me Not.
I bet at least 50% of their 1.4 million online readers are duplicate accounts.
I just installed and tested Netscape 8 beta. By default the rendering engine was set to IE, which means that the user agent shows up as IE. The result of this is Netscape 8 won't show up in WebTrends, Hitbox, Sawmill, or whatever other tracking software you use. Good for IE, bad for Netscape. When the marketing people see the stats they won't see Netscape 8 and it won't be considered.
Is this move intentional? Did Time Warner jump the Firefox grenade for Microsoft? Or are they just commiting suicide?

The Skynet funding bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, August 29. In a panic, they try to pull the plug...
What's with computer company CEOs and Ferraris? In this Steve Ballmer Winodws 1.0 video http://media.ebaumsworld.com/index.php?e=ballmerwi ndows.wmv he cuts a Ferrari into Lotus 123.
This Steve Jobs video is depressing because it makes it clear that there's been zero innovation in operating systems in the past 12 years, at least in terms of UI.

I more or less stopped watching after college but her goes
The Japanese cut of Akira. The American versions are missing some amazing scenes.
Neo Tokyo: three or four shorts, a little short on plot, but absolutely the best visually speaking. There's one bit about a guy who has to save a factory in the amazon from a insane robot. Anime at it's most intelligent.
Wicked City: similar to the plot and look of the Matrix, except the baddies are sub-dimesional Aliens. Great art and a clever plot. Adult situations.
Silent Mobius: great si-fi and great art. A team of psychic females battles aliens and demons. Hot anime chicks (heh) without being exploitive.
Any Lum movie is pretty entertaining to, if your can tolerate the cute factor.
I hope the DVD includes a No Jar Jar option, a No Racial Stereotype Muppet option and a feature that removes Jake Lloyd and substitues him with Haley Joel Osment (Sixth Sense). Seriously.
I saw it and I was INCREDIBLE!

Yes it's worth shouting about.
I live in central New Jersey. Around 9pm I was leaving the house to drop my car off at a mechanic and I looked skyward. I saw what looked like a huge pink cloud with moving black streaks. At one point it turned cobalt blue and then copper green. Not to be spooky but I could *feel* a huge rush of energy in my body when it was brightest, which could be fear or joy of course. My neighbor, a chemist, said it was a bloom of smoke, so I dismissed it, but obviously it was the real deal.
Those of you who see these things regularly, forgive my enthusiasm. It was my first time.
1)Background images of local documents won't refresh. Nice. 2)The Back button. What happens when I hit a site that uses some JavaScript that refreshes on unload? 3)N6 is running at 32.5MB, IE5 at 12IE5, looking at the same page. Ugly!
Beta? If PCWORLD.com is calling N6 as the rebirth of the browser wars, then in term's of AOL's marketing sceme this is no beta.
Wonderful... Time to do a whole new redesign for Netscape 6. Too problems I've already seen are FORM elements needing extra space in the layout pushing tables and sliced images apart, and background images ride an extra pixel or two higher. The new chrome is bound to confuse endusers too, as it looks nothing like the crome on every other application. Just when the 3.0 browsers were safely dead, it's time for another version to build for... crap! Who has the time and budject for this BS? Did anyone get the ThunkControl32 error? Does this sucker use Zool, or whatever it's called? Oi veh!

Like the others, I don't see a privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins. In version 1.0.2 on Windows at least.
Here's what I do see: Image of Firefox pop-up settings.

But don't tell marking folks that.
Based on my purchases they probably think I'm a 16 year old Japanese school girl. Is it wrong for a 36 year old man to buy Puffy AmiYumi CDs?

Go directly to this page Adult Swim Downloads and listen to "I Want Candy".
I have no problems viewing the trailer with Firefox 1.0. It might be your OS that's the problem.
The movie just got the dates wrong.

You can deliver video with Flash/SWF files now. I think that's your best bet.
I think I'll wait a few weeks, the price will drop more, and then I won't have to bother with the putty knives!
Everybody -- keep posting articles about hacking the Mac Mini so the price will drop quicker!
Doubtful. In our world human lives are worth less than a Metallica CD.

Ever since I cut that tag off my matress, I haven't had a comfortable nights rest! This Hatch is everywhere!

For that kind of money I'd rather...
