Upgrading lets you keep all your currently installed software and settings. A clean install gives you the default collection of software with their default settings.
When I installed Fedora 8 last year, they recommended you have a separate partition for/home, so you can wipe your other partitions and do a clean install, but keep your settings and data. When I did a clean install of Fedora 9 earlier this year, I kept my/home partition and booted into my customized Gnome desktop with all my app settings just like they were before the upgrade.
Granted, this doesn't preserve anything in/etc, but does Ubuntu not recommend this?
You see how it works? Due process is needed for everyone, no matter how vile.
Due process isn't meant to protect the guilty, who, after all, will be incarcerated for their crimes. The guilty are protected only by the edict against cruel and unusual punishment. Due process is meant to protect the INNOCENT. Criminals are only granted "due process" because due process is the only legitimate way to determine IF they are guilty.
Yes, due process protects the innocent. And under US law, everyone is (or perhaps "should be" is more accurate nowadays) innocent until a judge decides they have been proven guilty. It doesn't matter how sure the cops are that you're guilty; there must be due process until the end of the trial.

Yes, only http URLs can be prefetched (https:// URLs are never prefetched for security reasons).... In addition to this restriction, URLs with a query string are not prefetched...
Banks should only allow money transfers through https, and these URLs are not prefetched.
Online polls will presumably use a query string or POST data, and so will not or can not be prefetched.
DDOSing an image through prefetch could be done by just embedding the image, so that point is moot.
Also, each RFID passport card comes with a foil-lined sleeve that protects it from both physical damage and RFID skimming. I always keep mine in the sleeve when not in use.
I don't remember getting a foil-lined sleeve with my RFID passport.
But if all they are doing is comparing hash files, couldn't you just as easily change the resolution of the file, or insert a couple different bits around to change the file slightly, which ends up with a completely different hash?
Yup. That, along with good encryption, means the bad guys get around this easily, while innocent bystanders are caught up by hash collisions.
I think that tag started showing up on idle stories after this story ran.

CPU usage graph is now available as a sidebar applet in Vista
I can't speak for the GP, but IMHO, a CPU usage graph on the desktop is near-useless, since any window can cover it up. The graph I have in GNOME is about ~20 px tall, sitting in my panel where it's always easily visible (unless something is in full-screen mode).
But isn't the extension loading and appending the pages, and you clicking "next" oh-so-many times, the same as far as the site is concerned? They still log their page-views, and there's no change in ad behavior.
You never know. Your wife might sit down on the toilet, not noticing the seat is up. After landing in the water, something personal might float out of her pocket. If, for whatever reason, your wife flushed the toilet while this thing was floating in the water, it would now be running through the sewer lines. Not a problem, until it slowly drifts by a poor worker who's inside the sewer line. He notices the object in the sewage, fishes it out, and proceeds to drain your bank accounts and ruin your life.
I'm a web developer and I'm asking to please don't disable JavaScript. It's not a security problem per-se if you keep your browser updated and in fact makes the web *less* safe because encourages legitimate web developers to use much worse alternatives, like Flash.
NoScript blocks flash, too.
Don't worry about NoScript users when you're making web pages. Very few people use NoScript (I assume). Those of us who do use it have intentionally disallowed your scripts. If we decide we want your scripts to run, we'll temporarily allow them on your domain. Otherwise, bug off. You've got no business trying to override our decisions in our browsers.

These things keep getting more and more elaborate. Anyone remember the days when it was sufficient to just say "WOOSH"?
The Year of Linux on the Desktop can only be an even year. Odd years are too unstable for the average desktop user, given that they're test releases.

Better a few guilty men go free on a technicality than allow officers to become a law unto themselves.
If innocence is no protection from the law, what incentive is there to be innocent?
I don't remember the source or exact wording, but I read that somewhere, and it seems appropriate.

Reverse shield polarity! Fire a tachyon beam through the phaser array! Reroute the standards through the deflector dish!
So 9000!! != (9000!)! ? That's unexpected.
The ideal version number is over 9000!!
And yes, that's 9000 factorial factorial, as in (9000*8999*8998*...*2*1) * ((9000*8999*8998*...*2*1)-1) * ((9000*8999*8998*...*2*1)-2) *...*2*1
Since 20! is 2,432,902,008,176,640,000, you'll need a pretty big box if you want to write out 9000!!.

That certainly wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.
Because reading the text on, say, the "Reply to this", "Preview", and "Submit" buttons is a lot faster than trying each button until my post is made.

Hit the options button between "Quote Parent" and "Cancel", then change your post mode to "Extrans" and save. << Success!
You may want to change your post mode back to HTML afterward for <quote>'s to work again.
