That just puts the blame and responsibility for whomever is running the Tor exit node. Individual end users are not common carriers under the legal system, as much as they'd like to be.
No - the phone is consideration for your side of the contract. It's your phone. You're also bound to a cell service contract because you took the subsidized phone. Two separate things. The need to pay off the subsidy is a part of the contract, not part of your ownership of the phone. The contract is not tied to the phone.
Imagine they gave you $500 for signing the contract instead of a phone. Is that $500 yours to spend immediately? Yes!
Saving a dollar on a jar of honey then spend as much at McDonalds for a quarter pounder with cheese and fries when a dozen raw hamburger patties, a loaf of bread, and a big bag of potatoes costs the same, and takes less time to cook than waiting in line at a fast food joint. It's insane to my mind.
Wha? A quarter pounder with cheese (full combo to be generous) costs around $3.29 where I live. Raw ground beef hovers around $3/lb. at its lowest, and so a dozen burger patties would cost $9 at the least. McDonald's does charge a premium for convenience, but it's not that high.
That really depends. You could also say that about watching TV. But managing a home server might be plenty of enjoyment as a hobby for many people. No value lost in that case.
Barely passable GPU for a server? Why not a GeForce 2 in one of its PCI slots? Unless the GPU is used for server computation/CUDA, you just need something that can spit out a text console now and then.
With all of the peering agreements they have set up, they really don't pay either direction most of the time. They fake a shortage of resources to keep costs high.
With most ISP's, that term is in there only as a reason to terminate you when they want to. They don't usually port scan or actively try to find servers.
rote memorization of addition tables and multiplication tables would still be important to understanding the results. And also shortcuts. Otherwise, the concept of 43+43 is the process of counting to 86. Not knowing you can add the digits separately and the concept of a carry digit would seriously hinder people.
Back buttons would require a click. As long as they have to be tied in some way to a click the way pop-ups do. They aren't blocked, they just have to be proven as user-initiated.
I participate in comment discussion on the Gawker blogs - Lifehacker, particularly. They took away their own login system after they screwed it up so badly they gave away everyone's password. The community there is nice, but the site owners are stupid. I say, please let them use Facebook. When Facebook stops? They'll give me a way to transition to whatever they choose next.
Of course, if I have a choice, I don't log in with Facebook.
But I believe that Facebook Connect provides enough demographic info back to the site (your email address) that your profile can be rejoined with a new authentication system fairly easily - even if Facebook just disappears at once without any transition period.
Oh, great. Good plan. Completely block Facebook with a hosts file. This only affected logged in Facebook users. People who aren't going to add facebook's scripting domains to their hosts file.
Javascript has been putting in security restrictions for a while now. You can't open a new window without a user click. Most browsers now block automatic window popups.
Why are we still allowing something as archaic as a Javascript redirect? We already have meta tags and HTTP header redirects. We don't need browser navigation without a click to exist in Javascript.
Sure, you could blame Facebook - they did put out a bad script, but the fact that this is even possible is really on the browser makers.
I successfully made it to Papa John's web site to order pizza last night. When I got to the last page of checkout, I immediately got redirected to Facebook.
Apparently they're including Facebook Javascript code on all their pages, and I happened to be in the middle of ordering a pizza when the bug hit.
Why Javascript is allowed to redirect a web site these days without user intervention is beyond me. Most Javascript methods that open windows or navigate you require being triggered by a click event or other human intervention.
Sure - as long as you don't mind being locked out of your account as soon as you create it on web sites that don't properly handle non-ascii characters.

Because their ventromedial prefrontal cortex is not functioning as it should:

I even forgot to mention carrier locked phones that are bought outright and contract-free.

Do a password reset. They give you a one-time log-in link without having to actually reset your password.
Not to say we aren't a desperate species, but I think you mean disparate.

You are also ignoring the value of your time

The ultimate phishing attack.

OK - it's a bit late for XP. Windows 7 is a two generations more recent.
That has nothing to do with using downgrade rights. You have to get downgrade media from the OEM, however.

That's not the same bug. I'd explain, but that's what you get for saying "I wish this guy had done his homework."
Well said.
Just like steaks and steak sauce.
far smaller than most Americans are willing to accept
I'd still vote for one, knowing they can't get too much control. We need those ideas - even if it's just to have a better moderate compromise.
