And east coast universities specialize in tanning, while west coast universities specialize in bong rips (not that other universities aren't competitive there, more that they just don't get the same level of funding as universities in California).
Better would be laws that made it more difficult for banks and other financial institutions to try to hold a third party responsible when they are the victims of fraud.
The really nice thing about such laws is that someone having your name and "secret" number probably wouldn't be able to use it to open an account, so it wouldn't be such a problem that the number isn't at all a secret.
I've never used it, I was just curious as to what you meant (it is fully possible that someone on the internet would download it and simply not read the documentation; obviously not the case here...).
I just find it strange that you would interject in such a way. Public maker spaces aren't terribly likely to drive private ones out of business due to tool scheduling (especially the private ones that are currently profitable), so to cry foul when someone proposes expanding the function of a system you already claim to avoid doesn't make any sense to me.
Corporate media only controls corporate media projects. Something like Wikipedia has its share of problems, but it also has a great deal of decent information, and it isn't terribly likely that the free encyclopedia idea has seen its best days (Wikipedia may have...). Creative Commons exists.
And so on. There may well be some chilling effect due to current copyright, but the idea that corporate media has complete control over all media is simply ludicrous, it is obvious that people are (at least mostly) free to share their own creations as they like.
And then there is the part of the discussion where many of the people that complain about copyright think that the majority of corporate media is crap. So who cares if they copyright their turds?
Another choice is to point out that new technologies may require new concepts. In this case, the new technologies are DNA fingerprinting and computer records systems. So maybe instead of reasoning that DNA is not private information, we should recognize the potential for misusing a DNA database and require that police only obtain DNA from a suspect directly, and that the DNA only be used very narrowly.
What about their ongoing questionable hardware issues (you know, stuff like the grip of death, things that aren't fatal to a project but are hard to classify as anything but stupid).
That's why I said appears. It would probably be good PR for them to make up a cute presentation on its own page stating as much, but if you combine the statement about using a packet sniffer to monitor the software and the Chrome comparison, it is clear that they are at least advertising that it doesn't collect data.
But if they aren't collecting any data, they don't really need to state what they do with the data they collect.
Probably not. Liquid fuels continue to be much better portable energy storage than batteries. That's pretty much the whole story, especially when the upfront cost of batteries eliminates much of the efficiency advantage of the electric stuff (and most people sure are going to buy the car with better range characteristics and lower lifetime costs...).
The good news is that corn for energy is extra messy, what with corn growers being subsidized and ethanol producers being subsidized (probably mostly by state level tax breaks) and ethanol blending being mandated. The switch from MTBE to ethanol seems to be mostly positive, trying to mandate ethanol be a substantial part of the energy content of the fuel was the mistake.

I think even the most rabid authoritarian would be happy to tax the meat without worrying too much about who eats it.

Do you have credit or bank accounts?
Is there documentation that the government is buying this data?
A FOIA request should at least be able to get the purchase authorizations.
I've never used it, I was just curious as to what you meant (it is fully possible that someone on the internet would download it and simply not read the documentation; obviously not the case here...).
Lots of it is probably congestion. I've seen severe network issues on Sprint 3g, throttling or not.
I'm not suggesting that it would.

Avoid the symptoms, ignore the disease?

Is the MGED part of it not a UI, or was it too sparse?
It shouldn't be that hard to adapt Flashblock and the like to stop the canvas tag.
And I expect browsers will quickly offer basic audio defaults so that pages don't blare audio the second they are loaded.
Giving him information won't help any.
It's considered good practice to make note of an association like that.
Because of the mailing lists? The ones with the terrible archive interface.
I think this new platform may even be worse than the old travesty.
One choice is certainly to roll over and take it.

You think that will run on the netbook that he owns?
What about everything before OS X?

Right, but they aren't quite cold interstellar objects.

It isn't terribly likely, the a-one requirement for life is some sort of energy gradient to cheat against entropy with.
I use Chrome for this and that and don't worry about it, but it appears that the SRWare privacy policy is simply to not collect any user data.
Did they change it again? In 3.x, browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is true by default.

Coding the stamp to the addresses requires the user to key in the addresses, killing much of the convenience.
