Rabbits are actually lagomorphs, not rodents. I realize that mice are mentioned as a problem too, but the number of references to rabbits as rodents is quite offensive.
Browsers are still going to be the ones in charge of that kind of storage, just like history, cookies and other current way's of tracking user information. It's just going to require users to CONTINUE being careful about their web usage. I don't see that anything is changing.
I'd be more than a tad disturbed if I found one of my friends re-tweeting: "Dude, I just took the largest dump in history!"
Since when has twitter ever been primarily about being relevant? It's always been about being real-ish, and for most people, reality is not retweet or reply worthy.

I agree. I took one look at that picture of Jobs and my first thought was, "Watch out for crazy Steve!"
This couldn't be used to persecute your enemies. I little midnight excursion into city records, proof of payment removed, and a little "accident" could lead to a call something like this:
911: "I'm sorry, you're not on our list. You must not have paid this year."
Homeowner: "But I paid! I swear I did!"
911: "I'm sorry we have no record of that. If you could show us your receipt, then we could do something about it."
Homeowner: "It's in the house that BURNING DOWN!"
911: "I'm sorry, if you can't show you paid, we can't help you."
What you point out is a problem with politics in general, and not necessarily Infonaut's voting choices.
Any kind of foray into politics always involves choices between two (or more) evils. Such is the nature of politics. You will never find anyone who has the perfect platform from any one persons perspective, except for from the politician's perspective. I'm a Ron Paul fan, and would love to see the nation take a more libertarian route, but even Ron Paul has his political faults and points I don't agree with.
So I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this. Voting is very much choosing the person most likely to make the best decisions for our country. Even if one candidate has questionable objectives, they'll still have different questionable objectives than the other guy.
Those same morally questionable people would still find other ways of being morally questionable, there's no way to stop it. Quite honestly, liberty dictates that this man should be allowed to do what he wants.
That would have been wicked (extremely - for those unfamiliar with that usage of the word) cool! But as everyone else pointed out, it's just an md5 of their freaking mission statement... rather boring.
Right... and the idea in Wall-E was to give disabled people a way to get around. However, when a technological solution becomes more convenient than the natural alternative, the technological solution will become the status quo, no matter what the original intention.
That wasn't to say Twitter's tighter throttling was a permanent solution, or even a good one. I would hope they're looking at server and network upgrades to better fix the issue. But, yes you're correct. All the more reason for Twitter to not die.
If you're only following a single feed. But I have like 10 lists in TweetDeck that all get individually queried, and there are some who have WAY more than that.
But I am inclined to comment about this bit of "news"... Big. Woop. Twitter's just trying to stay alive. If the service falls over NO UPDATES will happen... at all... Inconvenient, yes, but totally necessary.
The motive here seems to be similar to that of the NPB's (National Pork Board) C&D against ThinkGeek. Everything is hunky-dory as long as the public isn't creating a perceived violation of copyright/trademark.
Not knowing much about copyright/trademark laws, is that even a valid case against the manufacturer/retailer? "Oh, we know you're(the manufacturer/retailer) not openly violating our trademark, but the consumer public is connecting your brand to our brand, so we're gonna sue if you don't stop."
that this would end up being less about Google getting in trouble for scraping unsecured data and more about educating the general public on how to secure their networks. Aside from the fact that Google probably shouldn't have done it in the first place, this should be wake up call to everyone with an unsecured wireless network.
Reading through the Sucuri article, the script piggy backed on a utm_content query parameter. Aren't these used in metrics tracking like Google Analytics? Has anyone mentioned a name of the 3rd party that let this one slip?

Normally, yes, but YOU don't.
This is kinda like when I used to create decals of myself and spray them all around the Counter Strike maps.

Oh no!!! A human being doing things that human beings do! I demand that government officials be MORE robot like, not less!
I'm not dead yet! I feel happy! I want to go for a walk!

Than someone jumping in front of a bullet to avoid it hitting someone else. Both are willingly inviting death to save another's life.

And my misplaced hopes that a government agency would actually do something creative come crashing to the ground and a violent speed....
I concur. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. But that doesn't mean that it's not an md5 of some other encrypted/obfuscated secret.

Slashdot is about:
1) dropping memes in at every available opportunity.
2) making puns based on something unrelated
3) ???
4) PROFIT!!

IIRC, Blizzard doesn't feel DRM is necessary, and recently made a statement to that effect.
