Regarding whatever software / process created the filter lists for these programs: With huge numbers of sites being infected with some form of malware on a regular basis I'm wondering if it is possible that these sites when scanned did re-direct the scanner to an elicit site. There is also conditional malware that is often very difficult to detect that shows different things to different people. Perhaps it could be as simple as the malware injected adult banner ads that the filter saw and flagged the site for.
Soon the fine print will allow them to search my basement and review my medical records without further notice or warning.
Slippery slow, and sadly we are already sliding down it.
Lol I'd ask if anything ever materialized, but sadly, I believe I already know the answer -__-
I've requested my data to be downloaded from facebook 3 times now since
my first comment here. Each time, I've gotten the following
email from facebook promptly after I've made the request:
"
You recently
requested a copy of yourFacebookdata.
We'll send you another email with a link to yourdownloadwhen
it's ready. For security reasons, the link will only work for a few
days after being sent, so please monitor your email for our message. If
the link doesn't work by the time you read your email, you'll have to
restart thedownload.

So far I've not gotten a
second email response from facebook any of the times that I've made the
request. (Yes I've checked my spam filter). I do have a lot
of photos and videos on facebook and my only real guess is that my
account is larger than what their system is setup to export. Though I
receive no error or message to that effect so it is merely a guess.
I've had a similar problem with Google Takeout and have not been able
to get a copy of all my Picasa Web Albums downloaded from their
service. I've paid for storage space for years, but due to
changes with Google+ and the fact that I'm paying for other online
storage / backup services now, I want to download a full copy of all
my albums from Google, which isn't working out.
Luckily I do have a copy of all of my data that is on Google, however,
I don't have it organized in the same fashion that I do on Picasa Web
albums, thus the reason I had really wanted to download a copy of it.
Sad to say unless something gets fixed with facebook I won't be able to complete our little experiment here.
As of right now I never got a message from facebook that my archive was ready to download. I've gone in and re-requested the archive of my data be prepared for me to download. Hopefully this one will come....
More than a day later and facebook still doesn't have my archive ready for me to download.
Facebook lets you download your data unless you have too much data or they are too busy using their processor power to serve up spam, umm, I mean ads.
I just typed: livegoatseatchickenincanada, (into a status update box and into a comment box, but did not submit either one, I allowed it to sit for at least 30 seconds before leaving the page, more than enough time to send / save that text) a phrase which should be unique in my facebook archie. I've requested a copy of my archive be created / sent to me, I'll update this once I get a copy of my archive and search it for said text.
Many commercial buildings have a lot of steal in the structure / roof which is very difficult for higher frequency radio waves to penetrate. (Concrete and block are also difficult for many signals to penetrate) I highly doubt most stores are actively blocking your signal, however many are very likely "passively blocking" phone signals due to the commonly used construction materials in commercial buildings.
Not sure I get your joke exactly. I thought most of the folks around here were android fans. Oh well, yes my point was "Defeated by a Camera". I could have just as easily taken the photo with my Canon and used Canon in the comment also.
The problem with this is that the vast majority of what is on my drive is content that created (e.g. HD movies, RAW photos, graphics work, etc.) I would say there are only a handful of tv shows and such in itunes or Amazon ubox that take up very little space overall.
I strongly suspect a lot of people with chronic pain issues are on some kind of sleeping pills. These people may have skewed the study because they already have health conditions that are leading to increased mortality.
On this point I have to disagree. gmaill is highly capable and all, but I actually prefer roundcube's interface over gmail's.
I also disagree that maintaining a mail server competently is that hard for a single domain with maybe a half-dozen users. If you stick to packages provided by a linux distribution, distribution updates will handle most security updates. Many ISPs have blessed relays for your use that alleviates the blacklist problem significantly.
That said, I have co confess current state of gmail makes it hard to find reason to do it yourself. The only reason I could think of is fear for what google could do in the future given the fact they really can hold your email address hostage. If you pay for your own domain (using any subdomain like offered by dyndns or co.cc is begging for them to hold your domain hostage down the road (as dyndns already has done to its users), landing you in the same place. Since so many free offerings from other companies have either evaporated or 'altered' in unacceptable ways, it's not unreasonable to be wary of Google's take on the perceived business value of free email with ads. If data suggests the cost is higher than the revenue sometime later, say goodbye to your email.
I got fairly disgusted with roundcube for a ongoing bug that would cause it to loop and use %100 of the processor power on a box. That was earlier this year, so it may have been fixed but it had been an ongoing bug report for quite a while.
I suppose a lot of it depends on the level your running a box at and how much Interaction there is with other networks and why. Running forums that can send out many thousands of notices a day can be a big deal to manage, as you can get filtered fairy easily ever for doing seemingly nothing wrong (e.g. you didn't throttle down your send rate low enough for one network).
Your point about gmail taking away an address is very valid and a concern I have pondered. Using your own domain via gmail and backing up your mail solves much of this.
As I mentioned though, there are things like forums, mailing lists, and discussion groups, who's volume of mail is not permissible to run through google and you have little choice but to either pay a 3rd party server for their out bound mail service which often has it's own limitations or to run your own server.

Though only the really crappy black lists are blocking whole IP ranges and less and less people seem to be following those blacklists, at least for domestic IP ranges.

I've been using this Windows hack to turn my Caps Lock key into a regular old Shift key for about a year now. I hardly noticed, except I don't have sentences tHAT LOOK LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
Don't you look at what your typing on the screen, while your typing it? I don't understand how people can write whole pages in all caps and not notice it. Hunt and Peck typing?

...however many are very likely "passively blocking" phone signals due to the commonly used construction materials in commercial buildings.
Instead of "passively blocking", I think you mean "shielding". As in a " Faraday cage". This doesn't hamper signals outside of the structure.
Yes, correct. That is a more accurate term / description of what is happening.

How about the Windows and Menu keys? anybody use that on a regular basis? would a statistically meaningful number miss them?
I almost never use the menu key, however, I frequently use the windows key. e.g. Windows Key, type name of what I want, Enter.
