You mean as long as the government keeps letting them re-insure their property (flood insurance) that's not gonna happen. Next time it happens it's time to say "Ok here's the payout for the house you lost. Now go build the new one somewhere else because we aren't going to let you insure a house in a sinking swamp again.

As an HTTP expert (16 years working with the protocol at a low level, often writing code to use the protocol directly through socket connections) and programming professional, his results raised two flags for me after reading his methodology.
He stated that he only reloaded the browser after opting out. Non persistent cookies don't get deleted until you completely kill every process for a given browser because they share cookies across browser processes. Simply shutting one of the tabs off or closing one browser window won't work.
Reloading isn't going to do shit and that's all he did to see if the cookie got deleted. If it was a cookie with an expiration date, it would get deleted. Per session cookies don't get deleted based on a header from a web server. They stick around til the browser processes are closed.
To see this for yourself, open two browser windows. Go to www.gmail.com. Log out if you are logged in. Uncheck the "Stay signed in" checkbox (You DO do this already right?). Now log into gmail with one of your browsers. Close the browser. Go to the other window and go to www.gmail.com. You will still be logged in. Now log out of gmail. Open your cookie list and look for the mail.google.com cookies that will still be there.
These are per session cookies. They'll get deleted when you close all your chrome windows.
As well it's very likely that some people leave a cookie and mark the ID as "do not track" in the database so they can still serve ads and know not to collect tracking data on that ID.
Unless DoNotTrack has some mighty beefy servers, that's about the only way for you to keep track of who not to track on a permanent basis. DoNotTrack is also a browser plug in written by Stanford. Hmmm...
He is jumping to flawed conclusions based on incomplete data.
He didn't call a single ad network to ask what the cookie is used for. Irresponsibility combined with hubris and ignorance.... What is Stanford Law coming too... oh wait a minute!
I work in the security industry, not ad serving. I used to work in the ad industry. I wrote a third party ROI tracking server. I actually do know what I'm talking about.
Likely a kernel update without a nvidia driver reinstall. First try to update the nVidia debian package. If that doesn't work: Remove the debian package for the nvidia driver. Download the driver package directly from nVidia, and pay attention to your debian updates. If debian updates the kernel, re-run the nVidia package. Use the nVidia install script instead of the debian package for your video driver and this won't happen...
The nVidia compile process prompts the kernel to export it's latest symbol table (which changes every time you update the kernel) and the driver will then be able to access the kernel symbols because it has the latest symbol map.
Most device drivers are built into the kernel so this usually isn't a problem with most devices.
I just keep it in my root directory and re-run the install script whenever my kernel is updated. This will work for any linux kernel/processor which is compatible with the nVidia driver.
I'm pretty sure the nVidia package is an ASM binary with a wrapper... It just needs the latest symbol table whenever the kernel is updated.
Hope this helps... Here are some instructions for Lenny, but this process will work with pretty much any linux distro/release.
HURD is definitely superior, philosophically. It's an ideal OS, to a programmer and computer science purist. However if performance is important (and it always is) and you have to actually use it for work, don't bother unless you are a kernel developer working on HURD. HURD is the future, linux is now.
--The architecture on which HURD is based is technically superior to Linux.
I agree in some respects. HURD is superior to linux in some ways (modularity, organization, maintainability, simplicity and most of all, bloat). In other ways it isn't (performance and maturity).
HURD is getting better but it's got a LONG way to go. It has to not be dog slow. Until that happens, no one will use it.
...not piss off my girl and not keep a bunch of old junk I never use laying around.
We lead a minimalist lifestyle. It makes moving a helluva lot easier though we'll be in our current (did I mention new?) house for a very long time. Neither of us like clutter or stacks of tubs containing junk that will rarely be used again.
There is one piece of very old gear I use a lot... my 6x6cm twin lens reflex camera (circa 1962) and my Gossen Luna Pro light meter.
I'm an analog film geek and am a sucker for large Cibachrome prints made from large transparencies:-) There's nothing like a big ground glass and rich flawless huge prints made from very accurately exposed transparencies... That process keeps me grounded in a digital world. For snapshots I use my iPhone 4 which, despite the low resolution, takes very rich digital photos. My 35mm film camera hasn't seen the light of day for a very long time.
Signals broadcast with no constructive purpose other than to jam other are illegal. It's pretty simple. Radio jammers, GPS jammers, radar jammers etc are all illegal for civilian use.
"it is a violation of federal law to use devices that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications such as cell phones, police radar, GPS, and Wi-Fi."
The ones that don't and buck management end up losing their house and fucking their family over. Hmmm give me about 20 milliseconds to make that decision...
In the real world, when people depend on you, high falutin ideological development philosophy tends to take a back seat to the reality, unless you are an asshole.
Don't know about you but my family is more important than pissing my manager off because we have a difference of opinion, of which, mine doesn't matter since I'm not the manager.

" and assuring that everyone who now has PSTN service has access to either a broadband or cellular communication alternative"
What country does this guy live in? There are still areas (MANY areas) in the US that are either only served by PSTN or satellite. I'd personally rather use dialup than satellite especially for the work I do in a shell (insane ping times on satellite...)
I kind of have to side with farmers on this one. You cut subsidies, put a lot of farmers out of business, land goes back to native etc. This is all well and good until a blight or something wipes out half the crop one year.
Then you have food shortages and mayhem. Food is one of those things you just don't want to fuck around with. I have no issues paying taxes for farm subsidies.
Remember the Irish potato famine? Reduce farming to need based only and that's what you set yourself up for. As it is we have a huge surplus of food, it needs to stay that way if we expect to survive any type of big agricultural disaster. This can happen from a non-native invasive species of bug, fungus, anything. There are a lot of things that could happen to cause massive food shortages in a need based only agricultural food economy.
So is putting your police boot on the back of a crack addict's neck and shooting him with a glock to fix his addiction problem. So is stopping a car chase by shooting the suspect's car with one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Ev19NsDQ4 (m134) So is being able to strip/cavity search every single person walking down the street to find people holding contraband. They're on public property right? Their pants are baggy so they must be doing something wrong.
There are many more ways to make law enforcement more effective. Why don't we just take everyone's rights away right now, use the most heavy handed tactics possible and have crime-free society?
Oh that's right, it won't work. Criminals will still do what they do and the collateral damage isn't worth it.
They are attaching devices to private property they don't own without a warrant or any kind of oversight. How would you like it if the police attached a wireless contact mic to your front window so they could hear everything that was said in the house? Using your argument, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy in your own home since anyone can stand there and put their ear up against your window. They have to attach a device to your car to track you. They have to attach a device to your front window to hear you. It's _exactly_ the same.
So you want some fed in a white fan beating his meat to the sound of your daughter masturbating without a warrant? You want them monitoring if you go to the tittie bar? The government should not be allowed to snoop at all without a warrant. There should be no gray, it needs to be black and white.
That's what this is leading to, erosion of protection from the government snooping on it's own citizens with no good reason. If they have a good reason they can get a warrant. If they can't then there is no good reason to snoop.
The only issue with George Hotz being in this list is he's never committed a misdeed. He's removed limitations on hardware he owns, placed by the manufacturer and shown others how to do the same. He hasn't broken the DMCA. He is a hacker in the truest sense of the word. He's never been caught doing anything illegal, most likely because he hasn't done anything illegal. He'd be in jail for breaking the DMCA.
How can what he's done be a misdeed? He was placed under an injunction to not show anyone else how to do what he's done, essentially a gag order. The only reason he agreed to this is he didn't have the money to fight sony in court. Sony is the one guilty of misdeeds in this case.

Wow... it takes me all of 5 minutes to get work, gmail and msn connected in thunderbird. Are you sure we are talking about the same email client?
Outlook/Outlook express is a nightmare unless you are just hooking it up to exchange and hotmail. Of course it's really simple in Thunderbird too.
Then again I've used it since thunderbird 3 and understand how various email protocols work. Maybe that's your issue...
yea. why they stuck with evolution that long is a mystery to me.

Why not just turn it in to the restaurant owner?
This makes it a lot more likely it will end up back in the hands of the rightful owner.
I always notify the police that someone is stopped on a shoulder. Gets them help without you assuming any risk.
If they are robbing people, it's fairly likely the police will pull up in the middle of it and bust them.
