dear internetcontentindustry, ie10 asked me if the default settings were okay. They listed DNT and offered me the option to turn it on by clicking "next" or to disable it. I pondered it for a while, then i decided tracking is bad and clicked next to enable it. Now you do not only ignore my explicit choice to use this setting, but even the choice of people who turned it on, then off, then on again, explicitly in the options dialogue. So why don't you respect our choice, when you respect the choice of firefox users, who turned DNT on in the preferences just after the first start?
with this argument, you need to click on the ads (because there is no revenue for the site owner if you do not), and then buy some product (because there is no revenue for the advertiser, if you do not). And if you do this, the products will get more expensive, because they need to finance the ads.
If you really want to do this, why not donate the money to the site, instead of buying too expensive products from somebody who's putting ads on the internet?
regardless what you think of DNT and DNT with IE10, but thats a choice, the tracking webapp needs to make. When apache filters IE10 DNT-headers, the webapp CANNOT decide to honor them even when its a default. So apache limits the choice of the tracking-software implementors to honor it. Thats filtering on the wrong layer.
They are now showing the world, what it is like to use a setting, where the obedience of the websites is voluntary. And they have their cross-site-tracking detection feature.
written from firefox with DNT on, noscript and adblockplus with no-tracking blacklist (no ghostery, as its rather dubious and ABP can do the same with the right lists)
and it does just work. Its a chat system, and you can chat. All the shiny blinking colorful new features are stuff added later, which can be gone any time when icq decides that flash games in the icq-client are no so good idea as they thought some time ago or something like this.
So, if you want to game, use a game site, if you want to chat use a chat program. Otherwise you get stuff like a cd burning software, which wants to be a fully features multimedia studio.
whatever you might need of your fancy new "look a new version" features, saying "nope" when somebody else says that pidgin just works for him is just wrong.
First thing i tried on their demo installation: click login without filling out the form. Result? A nice error message? A white page telling me "wrong login"? No... a exception! No wonder, no normal person would like this piece of software.
Another problem is the concept of a distributed social network. This concept have to fail on the promises, because anyone can patch their own node, so it stores everything locally, once its retrieved. Who uses a patched node has advantages over people on normal nodes, but if your friends use patched nodes you have disadvantages. But you cannot know.
so now facebook knows more about you than you would like, and they retain your data even when its deleted. With distributed systems, all your pals know these things, and are able to still store them even when you delete them. So the promise "you will be able to remove your data from the web again" cannot be fulfilled, once its used enough, so people start tinkering with their nodes.
nope. The address-space expansion is the only problematic part. if you want to support more addressspace, you need to go incompatible. the other stuff would not break compatibility, and was added, so there is more reason to migrate than just "we need more addresses", because with only "we need more addresses", you cannot motivate the people who still have enough addresses to migrate as well.
just customize it... i am using no googletoolbar (because of web-shortcuts, gg is google) and the buttons left of the urlbar. the next/prev buttons are not shown when disabled via userchrome and with status4evar i even have an oldschool statusbar. firefox might be quite unusable with its current defaults, but you can make it look like an old good version with some efford.
depends. if the session is your function, you need to know, that part of the function is, that you will be recognized on visits later on. this has positive and negative aspects, which cannot be split, independent of the way how you realize the session (i.e. blocking cookies and having sessionid in the url won't help you with being tracked)

so if i set "please do track me", they do not track me?
mod parent up, and install ABP with the no-tracking blocklist. Ghostry is dubios.
its a 0/1/absent header, no text.

which new function, and why do you need it? I use ICQ with pidgin for chat since a long time (when it still was called gaim), and it just works.
i did not mean the protocol, but just use a multimessanger, which is not adware, too.
facebook? sounds like facepalm.
oh, you're the person, who actually uses the original client?

why migrate, if you can do both.
why ever TFS was censored anyway. WTF, slashdot?!
just customize it ...

you know, that you can move the buttons in any way you want? right click the menubar, then select customize. now you can move buttons.

i would bet, twitter starts premium access for services, which can pay for it. And favstar will.
my bank only allows 5 chars (alphanum)
no, its the choice to express the preference to use what the list is saying. this is okay with the spec.
move will mean something like new effects, which work only on wayland or something like this.
> The user has not expressed a desire to opt out by using "default settings".
he did.
Such as he expressed the desire to use the default search engine and some other points, which are in the bullet-point list.
