Maybe with the right list it will work, if so would you please tell us what list? The iframes to facebook php got past my browsers adblock plus and NoScript so dns seems the sanest way to cut them off at the knees,
NoScript is only a partial solution to that problem as you will find plenty of sites with iframes loading php from facebook. Requestpolicy might help or you can try to maintain a hosts file which blocks all the various hosts they use.
It's also making BD-R(E) look a lot more appealing. On a 5 year graph I don't expect this event to have much impact on SSD prices, however I do wonder if it might finally bring BD the volume required to get it down to being (at worst) the same price per GB as DVD.
Firmware runs on a sub-device rather then your cpu and is really more part of the hardware rather then part of the driver. Just look at the mess the FSF are inspiring the OpenMoko guys to make of their next board (adding a chip with a firmware burned in, to remove the possibility of updating the firmware, just to sweep it under the carpet rather then shipping any non-free code).
To me your bug report really has more to say about the level of use of screen rotation rather then the implications of not shipping the firmware by default. It's unfortunate nobody picked up on it before it reached a Debian stable release, but despite being involved in a project where I would have expected to encounter someone hitting such a bug, this is the first I've heard of it.
Sorry if my reply upset you or seemed overly unfriendly, but I've seen far too many baseless slurs on the radeon code here over the years and before the clarification yours pushed my buttons again! Thanks for clarifying what you were really referring to, lack of firmware making things less capable and a bug where you could trigger a crash rather then a "sorry we can't do that without firmware" message. The radeons are one of the worst edge cases for the whole firmware debate as the devices can function without one but gain features with one AND there has been a previous project (radeonhd) that actually provided some of those features without a non-free firmware in the past but pragmatism made the developers decide that using the firmware was a saner long term course of action then maintaining all the extra low-level code for the card themselves in addition to the cpu based driver code.
Debian's strict free software stance also means that many things don't work right unless you go out of your way to turn on the non-free repositories and add drivers. For example, I was frustrated that the Radeon card in my desktop crashed under Debian, and it's because the completely free driver that ships by default had a major bug in it.--which no one noticed because everyone uses the non-free one instead.
If you mean everyone uses the non-free firmware with the Free driver then you might be allowed the hyperbole of the highlighted statement. If you are trying to suggest that everyone using Debian with ati cards uses fglrx then you are plain full of shit (popcon users are about 20:1 in favour of Free over fglrx). Care to share a bug report number for the issue you claim to have had?
What do you propose is done about apple.* or any other (generic) words which are trademarked only within specific fields of endevour? Should smeg.* really be out of bounds for all dwarfers because somewhere in the world some company has a trademark on it for some specific use?
I would expect the Wall Street Journal to cover the $1000. It would be nicer though if Neil put down at least $100 of his own (or work out how much of his worth is equivalent to $1m of the Tesla CEOs) and have the paper make it up to $10k (given the winnings go to charity). The publicity from this story alone, let alone the follow up if and when the bet is settled, would no doubt be worth it.
The Daily Star decried Morris and the show, placing the story next to a separate article about the 15-year-old singer Charlotte Church's breasts under the headline "She's a big girl now".The Daily Mail pictured Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who were 13 and 11, in their bikinis next to a headline describing Brass Eye as "Unspeakably Sick"
The kernel is not shared, it is derived and has never _really_ attempted to minimise it's changes from it's upstream so really it is an incompatible fork. So not only is Android not GNU/Linux (or X/Linux or posix/Linux or BSD/Linux) it's not even Linux.
Some RIAA level figures would do the trick, so if it is $150,000 per song for allofmp3.com then surely $150,000 per user would be appropriate? So Sony and their 70 million leaked user accounts would only have cost them $10.5 trillion and Groupon would get a bill for $45 billion. Even dropping to $200 per song/user (a figure a judge came up with in an "innocent infringement" case for non-commercial music sharing) Sony would have faced a bill for $14 billion and Groupon $60 million.
If that is your only concern then obviously you didn't really care about buying an truly unlocked phone.
But as others have mentioned here there are "features" which "carriers" want you to pay for that are enforced by locking the device and those may have been worth enough to you to cover the cost of the handset bundled into a contract price.
Finally, there are (or have been) carriers that would offer cheaper deals to those not including the purchase price of the device in their monthly charges and you may have covered the difference that way.
Perhaps you should have got the hint that the U.S. carriers did not want you to have an N900 (or probably any unlocked device) and would not subsidise one for you. If you cared you would have just bought one "sim-free".
And of course there is nothing to suggest the post you replied to came from anyone in the U.S. Multiple carriers here in Ireland had the N900 for example and I think it was available from carriers in plenty of European countries. Of course it was hillariously priced on pay-as-you-go, I seem to recall the carrier with a shop very close to me had it and the Palm Pre for the same prices on contracts, however on pay-as-you-go the N900 was about 50% more expensive and essentially the same price as picking one up without troubling any carrier.
So how long until Sony decide to request the logs and account details for everyone on/. who saw this story? Then how much longer until they leak all that data?
What is porn? Who gets to decide the answer to that question? Will all sites covering beach volleyball have to move to.xxx? What about a site which includes instructions for how to put on a condom? How about Victoria Secrets or Sports Illustrated? How about english tabloids which feature "Page 3"?
Let's imagine for a moment you said all those need not be forced onto.xxx, should Playboy be forced on and treated the same in this regard as donkeyrapingshiteaters.com (no idea or interest if that exists or would be legal in any juristiction, just don't complain to me if you go check and throw up)?
Should anyone wanting access to IPs which serve any content hosted on.xxx be forced to opt in and register themselves with their ISP? Should the ISP have to verify that any access to a.xxx site is by someone over an age determined by their local laws (and they are not on any lists banning them from such access)?
And guess what, pokerstars also have their home ccTLD variant redirecting to.com right now, but I bet that redirect doesn't last too much longer as is! They also have.co.uk (redirecting to.com/uk/) and.com.au which more interestingly redirects to.net which apparently has NOT been claimed by the USDOJ. And then there is pokerstars.eu (used in the MX on their.net) and probably many more.
Full Tilt have.co.uk redirecting to.net which again seems untouched by the USDOJ. Absolute Poker also seem to own the.co.uk though it's not responding and their.com whois suggests either.ca or.ag would be their home ccTLDS and they own neither (someone else has.ca and.ag is NOT FOUND).
In the meantime you can just edit your hosts file: 77.87.179.116 www.pokerstars.com
Amazingly neither pokerstars.com nor their blog site have any news about this yet.
My ISPs dns servers are already dishing out the hijacked IPs for the other two domains (50.17.223.71) but I'm sure someone here can find the old IP addresses.
As for betting when they will be back, you want a regular bookie for that (not a poker site), perhaps betfair or Paddy Power. Notice I gave the links to their sites on their home nations TLD despite the fact that both currently redirect them to.com.
A dock? Just give me a proper usb host port or three. In fact there are already cheap tablets out there with both a usb host port and hdmi so what more do you want other then a decent software stack on top of it?
I wonder if this is a tactic to see just how much bullshit people will put up with.
With each successful push by Facebook they can re-evaluate their company upwards and until they have reached the point where such a move threatens the perceived value of the company they will push further. Once they find the point at which the value is threatened they will revert the last change and sell up.

Maybe with the right list it will work, if so would you please tell us what list? The iframes to facebook php got past my browsers adblock plus and NoScript so dns seems the sanest way to cut them off at the knees,
I use my hosts file (or dnsmasq) to point googleapis to my local apache which has a jquery mirror to match theirs.
NoScript is only a partial solution to that problem as you will find plenty of sites with iframes loading php from facebook. Requestpolicy might help or you can try to maintain a hosts file which blocks all the various hosts they use.
