Call me an idiot (because I don't remember the specifics of the article) but do the "affiliate sites" or whatever that have the "facebook this" applets still track you if you logout and clear all your Internet cache & settings? (plus maybe one of those flash privacy plugins or three)
And Google+ isn't? Hell, it tracks your "+1" whatever-it-is, which they seem to make no effort to hide is meant to profile you into a demographic, er, I mean, "enhance your search experience."
They probably read/watch the book/movie and think, "Well, the problem is that these people were idiots. I'm much smarter and can pull it off properly."
Dictionary.com defines mistake as "an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc." So yes.
Yeah, because you just know that the first time there's a tiny little problem in a piece of software the company is going to be sued for eleventy bajillion dollars a la RIAA for ridiculous lost profits figures.
I'd say blasphemy is probably against Islamic law, which there are a few states I can think of that live under. And if the Danish cartoon thing is any indication, that aspect will probably factor into ours as well if it happens in the U.S.
Or are they planing on the windows boot process to halting if it discovers that it wasn't booted securely? Like that wouldn't get hacked... ( assuming anybody actually wants the new M$ OS by then )
Not that that would actually be a big problem, as long as you can toggle the Authenticated Boot setting; just turn it off whenever you want to boot something other than Windows and then back on after. Maybe they can even figure out a way to make GRUB do it automatically.
I think Baloroth was trying to indicate that it's a kind of "teach a man to fish..." situation. Instead of telling people, "hey, just slap this thing on your dong and fuck until the odds catch up with you", it may be better to tell them why they shouldn't be humping anything that moves.
*Finally* I find somebody who had the same thought as me. And if you consider the number of wars the U.S. has been in recently where the enemy was another world power (i.e., NONE), it's not like we'd just be sending robots to kill each other; the other guys would most likely be flesh and bone. With any luck it would be yet another ME country that would have one more reason to hate us.
Chromebooks are not a normal general-purpose computer; they're netbookish. And frankly I don't give a damn about netbooks as I would rather have a real computer.
My thoughts too, but unfortunately the Seamonkey interface is horribly ugly (not to be shallow, but really...). Is there any way to skin it so it doesn't look like a Linux interface, er I mean something from 10 years ago?
Yeah, because "14.0.835.186 m" has so many more significant digits. They might as well just substitute a hashcode instead of the version number and be done with it.
After looking up the 17th Amendment, I have to say, Why? Are you advocating the Parliamentary system e.g. in the UK where the upper house is elected by the lower? Seeing as it removes power from the voting public, I'd be interested to know why...
And your second link has nothing to do with the first. Oookay...

I'm not trying to imply that it's racism (well, not much, anyway). Segregation doesn't have to be by race, that's just what we've taken it to mean.
Dictionary.com defines mistake as "an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc." So yes.
...So you're saying you want to bring back segregation?
NoScript is now considered "minimal"? Last I checked, a whitelist is hardly "minimal."
exoteric = esoteric + exotic

Oh, dur. Sorry, my mistake.
If you signed up because of the lawsuit, there's no way you could have signed up for the alpha. It was in beta long before the lawsuit was announced.
Speaking of non-biased...
Yeah I know, anecdote is not data, etc. But your rant is not gonna sit well about a dead nearly centurian.
He commanded 100 men? I think the word you're looking for is "centenarian" :-)

Like hell. I happen to own the copyright to the number 0x65,
Ok, so you aren't planning on any civil or reasonable discussion. Check.
Replace "Zabundi" with "Iran" and "forbidden topics" with "anything that can be construed as irreverent to Islam" and now we're talking.

If I run Adblock Plus 24/7, do I really have a reason to care what sort of ads they're serving me?

If you can toggle the thing on and off, that really defeats the whole purpose of it, now, doesn't it?
