How many databases were stolen without the admins noticing? How many databases stolen with everyone noticing but just shutting up about the whole thing to preserve a good PR?
In the context of BitTorrent, leeching has a meaning defined by Wikipedia, which is moderately less weak than AFAIK. I provided the link. That's the meaning I am referring to.
French politicians are NOT immune to anything. Where the fuck did you hear such a stupid and cretinous thing like that??? As a matter of fact, a pretty significant bunch of them has already seen the inside of a prison cell. I don't know what you are smoking, but it has to be quite good.
Mitterand was immune because he was PRESIDENT, not because he was a POLITICIAN. And he couldn't be charged after his term because he died during his term. Do you at least read the posts you reply too? Do you know anything about the issue we're talking about here?
It doesn't have the same effect at all!!! Let's take an example:
Actual situation for most people: all cookies accepted. I go to amazon.com, some random JS drops a cookie from the website www.trackme.org. Then I go to best buy where such a JS is also included in all pages. My browser sends the same cookie to www.trackme.org, hence identifying me to them. The next day, www.trackme.org knows I've been to both sites and know which products I've had a look at.
My situation: Accept cookie only from the page's domain. I go to amazon.com where a version of the script is passed to me under the amazon.com domain name. The cookie is dropped on my browser for the amazon.com domain. When I go to best buy - where the same script is hosted under bestbuy.com - my browser doesn't send any information, so save my IP and user agent, they have no way of knowing it's the same person viewing the page.
That is not a big difference, that's even bigger than that. It's actually the core part of the issue going away.
Given the number of people on corporate networks (sharing the same IP and most likely the same UA) and the number of people on a dynamic IP (think mobile users), they actually have no reliable way of linking the bestbuy visit to the amazon's one.
But how do they know it's the movie? They'd have to download it to be sure. If they download it, they are peers and are distributing it. Since they are the legal owner of the copyright and they distribute it via BitTorrent, why is it illegal to do so for other people?
Except Google (Chrome does not support DNT: 1 -- I hacked together a patch for Chromium...)
Google has a built-in setting "Ignore exceptions and block third-party cookies from being set". This is enough for me so far. Sites can set any cookie they want. Third parties go to hell.
But but but I have ADHD... So one minute after setting the router on or off, I don't remember which state I left it in... That has to count for something;-)
In France, whenever a line go down like that we rebuild it underground. It has been going on for decades, and now most power lines are underground. No storm issues anymore, but when something goes wrong, it's a heck of a problem;-)
In France, I have a server in my garage. I moved recently, so I got a downtime, but it is the norm to get more than a year of uptime between power outages. I've lived a bit in the SF bay area, and what I got there was very very far from that. Not counting rolling blackouts, we'd rarely get two month without an outage.
Seems to me there are two problems here - prior plausibility, and rigour. Your study is not in agreement with the consensus on this issue, in which many other blinded tests have been done to see if people suffer ill effects from EM and from what I've seen the best trials come out negative.
Do you have links of such studies that were not funded by any party that would have an interest in showing it has no impact? That's a real question, not bitching.
If your results show anything it's that poorly controlled tests with imperfect methodology can produce all kinds of erroneous conclusions.
My results don't show anything yet as I have not yet finished my test. That's the sentence "the statistical sample isn't relevant yet."
Also, what in my posts led you to draw the conclusion that my test was "poorly controlled tests with imperfect methodology" ?
In addition, the radiation in question is not ionizing radiation so it's very difficult to see how it could have an effect on physiology, hence the prior plausibility issue. Having said all that, IANAE (epidemiologist)...;)
If we keep on looking for stuff we know are there, we don't discover much now, do we?
To be honest, if you think you can detect EM fields purely through a feeling or sensation, you might be eligible for Randi's prize, might be worth looking into.
Headaches can be caused by many things, and having consistently a headache when some type of EM field is at some level for a while is not necessarily "detecting EM fields." Or maybe it is... In any case, I don't see the relation to Randi's prize and my Wifi router. Maybe it was sarcasm...
But on the rowboat everyone strokes the same as everyone else, with identical and correct equipment or nobody gets anywhere useful. You can use older or newer oars if you like, but that's about as much deviation as you are allowed.
As for douching it up, your comment about entering a number? Please. iPads might be useful in the field, but then the Toughbook has that market.

It becomes increasingly painful to post on slashdot... All those click and scrolls until all the parents are unfolded... Anyway.
Don't confuse users, I made the comment about entering a number. The keyboard displayed in Numbers when entering a formula beats hands down everything I know. There are other cases, but the point is that in many situations I find the iPad's keyboard equivalent or better than a regular QWERTY plastic one. In many other situations the iPad keyboard is close to unusable, such as typing code (Java, C, html, etc) with lots of extra characters (<{+-*/=.......)
ok, you're right, it wasn't double blind. My bad. Maybe I can set up my wireless router on a PC-controlled plug so that the computer will decide whether it's on or off (randomly). That way, nobody knows if it's on or off.
Namely reading and writing. I can type on the iPad keyboard as quickly as I can type on a regular keyboard. I am aware that not everybody does, but I do (and I'm not the only one). In some cases it's even easier that typing on a regular keyboard, like when you need to enter something specific such as a number.
The power at which a WiFi router emits signal barely has anything to do with all of the stuff you mentioned (except for the sun of course and cellular towers). It is always on unlike most stuff you mentioned (save the sun, tv/radio signal and cellular towers). Cell towers are beoing banned all over europe next to schools, preschools and nurseries. Of course, no credible study have been conducted by anyone that wasn't completely biaised on the matter (cell phone manufacturers, telcos, government, etc)
That said, I don't dispute the fact that my science isn't up to speed on the matter. What I said is that when I tell my wife to write down twice a day every day the level of pain she feels, it is constantly 2-3 when the Wifi is on and constantly 0 when the Wifi is off. And no, she doesn't have the router in her line of sight, she doesn't even know where it is. It's been only a couple of weeks so far, so no conclusion yet - the statistical sample isn't relevant yet. But I kind of see the way it's going.
And it's going to be a pain if I have to turn it off completely since more and more devices use Wifi only these days. But that versus my wife's head, it'll be a no brainer.

AFAIK, linux does run on ARM for close to a decade. Heck, it even runs Ubuntu !
Apple did port OSX from 68x to Power and then from Power to x86. Every time, legacy apps did keep working.

Do you think "online services" means "3G connectivity" ? I think it includes whatever cloud-based stuff Google is throwing in... May be wrong though.

Stupid frog twat indeed.
Wow... Pretty nice. Is that your way of saying you're wrong? Strange customs in your area.
FWIW, BitTorrent leechers do share their downloads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leecher#P2P_networks_and_BitTorrent
Their BitTorrent might be modified to not do that, but this doesn't change the meaning of the word AFAIK.
Guess who's a stupid frog twat too?
And leeching is not distributing?

Still, all French politicians have absolute immunity for everything
Uhhh, no. Not even close.
Except Google (Chrome does not support DNT: 1 -- I hacked together a patch for Chromium...)
Google has a built-in setting "Ignore exceptions and block third-party cookies from being set". This is enough for me so far. Sites can set any cookie they want. Third parties go to hell.
No, it doesn't matter. Legally, under the GPL, they are required to distribute (upon request)....
Has anyone requested it?
But but but I have ADHD... So one minute after setting the router on or off, I don't remember which state I left it in... That has to count for something ;-)

Thanks. Lots of insight. Why posting if you have nothing to say?
Ah, since you know The Truth (C), then I apologize.
Dumbass.

Not mentioning wifi will banned from most schools and public libraries in France, given the speed at which people complain.
They said the same with computers. I do work on my ipad. Why couldn't anyone?
