Then they shouldn't install ANY apps whatsoever, and wrap their phones in a layer of tinfoil, move out into a cave and never leave it!
Seriously though, I don't see problems with being tracked by Google through Latitude (which I use, keep my GPS online, and share my location with my friends), or Pandora (which, I don't use). It's not like their going to stalk you and peer in your windows while you sleep...
Set it in Options -> Personal Stuff. If I remember my brief stint with FF4 correctly, the Chrome sync is more capable, synchronizing everything from history through favorites to passwords (only if you select them, though, so no breach of security unless you want it).
But I think what he meant was that after surfing for porn in normal mode, Firefox stores the history, and as he begins typing something else, the porn sites pop up as possible matches, for anyone looking over his shoulder to see. If he surfed for porn in privacy mode (and unobserved), FF would not store them in history, so he wouldn't have to worry about them popping up when trying to show someone else something.
Google Chrome already syncs to your Google profile, and has done so for quite some time before FF4 came out with the sync option. I don't know that much about the add-ons/extensions, I don't use many on either platform, and those that I do are usually supplied by the parent company (eg. Google Mail-Calendar-Reader Checker extensions).
If only Google gave me more choice in customizing the UI (such as returning the http:/// prefix into the address bar, that really pissed me off), it would be the perfect browser for me.
Neutronium is extremely dense, so it would be a bulge.
Apart from that, I thought the ocean floor was mapped there. Pointers to a crater would have been spotted already, at the very least on the magnetic maps, no?
Logging the data that was transmitted in the clear, mind you. If you can't be bothered to encrypt your traffic, you're practically shouting for trouble, and should take full responsibility.
If they control an exit node, it stands to reason they could follow the data back at the very least one node. This is the same as breaking AES: possible, if you can access the system, and run some custom code on it...
Okay, I get it where my reasoning derailed. But still, it looks more complicated than single-frequency communications, especially frequency-hopping (which would make the most sense if we're talking about unused bands): synching up devices, and making a standardized format of checksums to identify each type to prevent one device using data from another type altogether...
How do you propose we handle several devices transmitting on the same frequency in close proximity? I'm pretty sure Disaster Relief would be happy with your idea, especially when their CBs are drowned out by a local, still-transmitting radio relay playing Rebecca Black.
Or how would a device know where to look for a broadcast intended for it? The way it stands, WiFi for example, know to look for WiFi broadcasts around 2.4GHz, and on specific frequency bands. If we spread that out even further, how would the wireless cards lock onto transmissions?
Exactly. I used to experiment with C/C++, in a little project to develop an RFID pass system for my city mass transit company after I heard on the news that after five years and tens of millions, they still didn't have anything to show. Even not being a certified coder, I managed to do it (after a fashion) in two months and out of five million tops for the infrastructure required. Granted, the code I wrote was not the prettiest or neatest you ever saw. When I asked for help on IRC, saying "Guys, here's this bit. It works, but does something else than what I wanted.", the majority of the replies were "I'm surprised it WORKS in the first place!".
Anything is possible in any language, you just might have to go around a few things to achieve what you want it to do. I don't know.NET, but I'm pretty sure if I wanted to have it make a 1.7 oz burger, I could after a bit of reading up. Knowledge of a language is no reason to flag someone.
I can't wait for the proliferation of microphones in public places to catch you whistling a popular tune and charge you a royalty fee for it.;-)
In that case, let's walk up to each, and say "Fuck you, guys!" loud and clear. It might not achieve much, but at least we'll feel better about doing it...
I'm not exactly familiar with the sensitivity of a typical magnetometer in an Android phone, but you could theoretically use them to find magnetic anomalies caused by the metal. Download one of the free metal detector apps, or just the one called Tricorder, which is also free, and lets you access many of the sensors, after which you can use the magnetometer to pick up anomalous flux densities indicative of a piece of metal underground.
Although not Redmond-based, but have you seen the Opera devs, testing whether Opera is faster than a potato?:D Or Google doing the same thing, and testing Chrome against many others (Tesla coil discharge, soundwaves, etc).
Sometimes I randomly announce to empty rooms "I know you're listening...". It only has pros: if I'm wrong, nobody knows, but me; if I'm right, I just freaked someone out real bad.
Though he didn't actually need the spice, it just made him zone out and stand still until the seeker emerged. It was Thufir's training that let him grab it as it went for the Fremen maid.
The Hungarian system is fairly critical, not really accepting of dishonesty. Then again, I'm in Political Science, so I can't speak for other fields.
I do know that in the past, we used to produce many high-quality scientists, who later emigrated to the West around the start of WWII, collectively termed "Martians", but since then, the educational system has gone downhill in quality, not quality control and rigor, just the material being taught to students. Hence the small, but very green circle of Budapest in all three fields.
This is a typical symptom of scientists/researchers having way too much free time on their hands. They need to find a way to spend it properly, or they will kill us all one day.
Khaddaffi's forces do not have to fight the western army, they just need to stay alive long enough to suppress the rebels, so that Khaddaffi can claim that the intervention has become baseless, therefore illegitimate. At that point, the UN HAS to withdraw. So they need to kick his ass while the rebels can hold out to give them grounds for being there.
Apart from that, you're right: humans are bastards. And peace-building has a spotty record, but there are some wins (Yugoslavia, for example).

You know what allows you to experience death by smoking it? Carbon monoxide, for example!

Possible, if it's your own privacy mode.

There's a lot to be said for using the privacy mode...

Let's see them take on a metal-fluoride fire! For those, I've always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

Good luck, and good hunting!
Or seventy bloody five times the size of the Obama Bailout Package. Remember how shocked the world was to hear that figure?

We really need a glyph to indicate humor or sarcasm, since apparently some people wouldn't know it if it hit them in the face with a sledgehammer...
