So who decides when an infringement occurs? If privacy laws prevent ISPs from snooping on traffic (or do they?), and the main source of copyright complaints comes in the form of mass mail from industry associations, who's to verify and decide what is a "strike" and what isn't? What is the appeals process? What is cutting someone off meant to realistically achieve? And finally, what's the weather like in Sweden? I think I'd like to move there.
Rather than convincing people that "privacy matters", explain specific situations that they should be aware of.
There are varying degrees of harm that may occur and varying degrees of risk, depending on how important private information is. Your best bet would be to target the most dangerous habits first, their twittering isn't likely to actually matter compared to getting phished.
Indeed, even if a non-alpha version is "drawing near" and previous attempts at being an early adopter meant that you could help with drawing nearer by filing bugs that were looked at.
I upgraded to Feisty (Herd 4 i think) 2 weeks ago, and I've gone from a perfectly working desktop machine (Edgy) to one that barely boots, has a SATA hard drive unmountable, a non-functioning network card, ignored bug-reports and no clear path to downgrade.
I'm sure feisty is nice, but hardware support went a few rather large steps backwards for me. Backups and dapper live cds have been my bread and butter since.
Indeed. I recall defectivebydesign suffered the exact same premature press-release problem. There are all these supporters revving up for some action, and FSF announces an unpolished campaign. Perhaps they need some PR help.
Yeah, they've got their comprehensive in the wrong spot.
Instead of "ZDNet has reviewed eleven anti-spam products comprehensively [because the producers sponsored it]" we are supposed to believe that they have a "comprehensive review".
Slashdot Mirror

How did I do?
I dunno, "Go!", "so", ... "two"?
Poetry need not always rhyme
But lim'ricks do most of the time
Check limericksdb (.org) and it's plain to see
That to fail this is simply a crime
I dunno, less ads dressed as news on slashdot perhaps?

A website wants to admit to a flaw on your computer.
This admission will happen outside Protected Mode. Protected Mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this flaw, do not admit to it.

I hope you've got a good garbage collector to deal with all those empty beers.
Talk about closing the gate after the source has bolted!
Sorry about that. Truly, deeply sorry.

Food for thought.

...
> You are absolutely right,
Are you sure you couldn't try a little harder?
It was posted early in preparation for the duplicate that is to follow later this year.
It's only $4M after rebates. Oh, and they get a free iPod.
And here I was hoping for a +5 Funny instead. :P
Sounds like hot rock didn't scan as well.
Sounds like a bunch of hot air to me
I'm confused, I thought adding a lot of mirrors stopped things from catching fire around here.
iPodawan!
Danish? Looks more like a doughnut.
Portable linux ... so hot right now.
... A computer for ants!?!?!
What is this ???
History repeats itself once again ... Microsoft taking the work of others and integrating it into their product, only bigger and flashier.
... you need oxygen to live.
That's grammartabulous!
Not Mathematics and Sex?
