NoScript for Firefox and equivalent for Chrome have a site-by-site whitelist. One only enables JS as required.
I have also found it instructional as to the amount of third party access sites are willing to sell. Particularly keen seem to be online newspapers. e.g. WashingtonTimes.com has Javascript served up from 15 domains.
Combine that with other add-ons like Ghostery and Self-Destructing-Cookies and you will be unpleasantly surprised at the unnecessary crap that's thrown at your browser for the benefit of the sites you visit.
Maybe they are just the ones you remember directly because you're not part of their target demographic and so they are jarring.
I often see products in sports that re-enforce my brand choices. Even as much as I dislike that sentence. They ride the same brand of motorbike as me, helmet, sunglasses, gloves etc. etc.

I use Windows because the Autodesk Software I get paid to use only runs on Windows.
I use Windows because the Eurosport TV Channel I paid for only runs on Silverlight on Windows.
I know these are choices *I* made but just saying, it's not always just "I can't be bothered to switch". I run FreeBSD and Plan 9 on the computers I don't need Win software on so it's not like it's even a hard switch for me.
ChromeOS is cheaper, Ubuntu is cheaper, an Android tablet is possibly cheaper.

Hardware donations do not come from vendors who use OpenSSH on parts of their stuff. They come from individuals. The hardware vendors who use OpenSSH on all of their products have given us a total of one laptop since we developed OpenSSH five years ago. And asking them for that laptop took a year. That was IBM.

NICE TRY

Agreed - map - the clue is in the name.
It has always amused me that in England the railways were known as British Rail, in Scotland they were known as ScotRail.
Since privatisation they are known as National Rail - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
And ScotRail - http://www.scotrail.co.uk/
India is a slum. People shit on the sidewalk in Mumbai. There is heartbreaking poverty everywhere you look. And stink and pollution.
If you had a chance to leave on a plane to the US you'd seen in the movies, you'd be off like a shot.
Shit, even if you'd only watched Jersey Shore and Real Wives of Portland you'd be off like a shot.
Shit, even if you'd only watched Trailer Park Boys you'd be off like a short (yes I know it's Canadian).
Also "Better Windows than Windows" meant developers could say "well, it runs Windows apps so we'll not bother making OS/2 versions".
Android apps on Windows phone would mean fewer Windows phone apps, not more, even if they started selling more handsets.
When you say "we" you talk like that means something.
Just an FYI jacking the thread :>
I have a Sony T1 tablet and a Sony Xperia Z - they fall in the rock solid camp.
You obviously weren't doing it right.

You can't say its not overpriced until people start buying the things.
If no-one's buying them, they are overpriced.
I've had a free lunch before.
How do you know it's not sustainable ?
Not knowing the future has nothing to do with sustainable agriculture.

Salaries are not the issue.
We made a 1 1/2 hour feature film with *all* staff on a profit share. It still cost £50k.

UK companies have a legal duty to minimized health and safety risks to employees and the public which trumps any other laws.

No, that's not me,. It's just some guy that parks outside my house every night and works at the same building as me.

You're talking shit.
I can buy from a vendor and get the source as part of the deal, no source, no deal.
If I reveal this source code to the sub-post offices and continue to buy from the vendor.
I can sell you such insurance if you like.

And use the right language, it should be "less insecure". Anything else promotes the fallacy you fell in to.
It is. More secure != unbreakable.
Methinks Bill is making it up as he goes along.
