I'm not sure if that was all, I'm looking in the list of blocks, and I seem to recall those being the ones, there might have been more/different ones though.
I've got about 75 different blocks, and it seems to clean up most of the internet.
I couldn't care less if people new vaugely where I was all the time.
I'd even write an interface to the system, that allowed my website to update automatically, and when someone visited, it would say "where am I?" and show a map of where I was at the time, perhaps even overlayed on google maps.
All people are going to see is that I am at home, or at work, the addresses of both they could find without too much issue, or I'm on the road travelling somewhere.
I don't see what the big deal is, if someone wants to stalk someone, they are going to do so, whether or not a phone has a part of it is neither here nor there. I doubt someone lazy is going to say "ooh, now I can start stalking because I don't have to follow the person around all day".
Any nutbag that would stalk someone would be following them around all day anyway.
Might not even be SATA II (I'm not sure), but avoid using Seagate Barracuda drives with RAID controllers based on the SIL3112 chipset.
There's an incompatibility with some of the drives, Seagate won't say which ones, and it will result in reduced performance, or the risk of data corruption.
There's a really good page about it, explaining the issue, but I can't find it at the moment. "15m" comes to mind, but that probably doesn't help. Google for references to "seagate errata fix".

It'll just be the same as it already is for DVDR media.
There'll be "for data" and "for audio", as opposed to "for data" and "for video" DVDR discs that we have now.
What's the difference? the price. I enjoy buying "for data" DVDR discs, and putting movies on them.
Now we just need to use this to draw attention to other things that "people don't understand, so why should they care?", like the broadcast flag, and other overly restrictive DRM technologies.
Ok, I realise most people (in general, not the/. population) probably wouldn't know which end of a soldering iron to hold, but it's not that hard to fix the issue..
Read the values of the leaky caps, get replacements, or near enough in value replacements. This will probably cost about $5.
Desolder the old caps, use a stainless steel pin to clean the solder out of the hole (since solder won't take easily to stainless), pop the new cap in (with the correct polarity), and solder it.
I had an asus board go like this a couple of years ago, it took me about 1/2 hour to fix the issue, but most of that was getting the board out of the case, and reinstalling it.
I called up asus, and had a runaround, before I identified the caps as the issue, and decided to fix it myself.
I doubt it's going to cost $300 million dollars to fix this. I'm typing this on a GX270, and it's had the motherboard replaced in it already, but I don't know if caps were the reason for that.
It's my work machine, first the hard drive died, so I called Dell and got it replaced, then the mobo died, and I just called Dell and got it fixed, I didn't investigate the issue myself, like I would have done if I owned the equipment, or if it was out of warranty.
Anyway, while it might cost them a bit in labour, the hardware's not going to be all that much, replace the first few boards with working ones, then refurb the retrieved boards, and use those to replace the dodgy board, rinse, repeat.
This is just going to encourage worse, less attentive driving than already.
People are going to figure "I don't have to pay full attention to the road now, if something pops out in front of me, then my car will warn me and I'll look up from (whatever I'm doing)".
Where "whatever I'm doing" is one of:
reading the paper/a book talking on the phone playing with a laptop/car stereo etc etc
If you find driving boring, and you want to be entertained on the phone/using gadgets etc, then don't drive.
Drive your car to the train station, and get on the train, then play with your toys and gadgets, or get on a bus, or car pool, and take turns to be bored while driving.
The spacecraft is currently 7.29 billion miles from Earth, traveling at 27,380 mph relative to the sun. At that distance, radio signals take 21 hours and 45 minutes to make the roundtrip between the Earth and the spacecraft.

Exactly the same thing happens (or happened, until I got the firmware upgraded) to my Nokia 6150.. only happened with Quios SMS though, I couldn't read them when they came in, they'd lock up the phone.. so I'd remove/replace the battery, and then they were fine.

Oh yeah, that's right, I vaguely recall seeing one, before I added the following to my adblock list sever years ago (or so it seems):

They implemented this rubbish years ago. Hell, search the /. archives, it'll come up with articles about it.
It didn't make 1 iota of difference, and if anything happens this time, things still won't change.

Would it happen to be called Firefox? That product seems to stop most malware I find.

Like people who use windows. Sorry, couldn't resist, I'll add the -1 troll for you
You can either type on the keyboard for several years, and have the letters just wear off..
(I have one like this, it's great, other people don't want to use my computer, because they don't know where the keys are).
Or.. get some "essential oils", since the letters will just wipe straight off the keycaps.
What about people who "jig" their legs while sitting down?
Wow! look how fast I can rack up tv time, sitting here doing nothing but jigging my leg (while watching tv). My shoe thinks I'm sprinting!
