Yes, exactly. If you are rejecting the cookies, you aren't logged in, and your search history is tracked less. I don't consider the personalization a feature, so I prefer not to be logged in.
(I do this in a somewhat hilarious fashion, I log into Google to use gmail, and then I delete the cookies for google.com (but not for mail.google.com). Paranoia, I am doing it wrong.)
On the camera I used, there was a control wheel nearby the shutter. Moving it 1 click would change the shutter speed (either direction would move it up or down 1 setting).
It might be something you control with your thumb instead of your finger though. I don't think getting it set like that took any menu twiddling at all (just setting the mode wheel to a manual mode).
I've only used 1 DSLR and the shutter speed and f-stop/aperture were both settable, using a dial (the same dial, with some sort of mode button to switch between them or whatever, I wasn't really doing anything dynamic, so I don't remember very well). Manual focus was an option, by turning the lens.
It took a few minutes to get comfortable with the controls, but they were there, and they were quite direct.
If you at least capitalize it (like "Free Software"), you give your readers a hint that you are talking about something specific, rather than 'free' in general.
More seriously, if you don't have some sort of use for the ability to put your email into 3 bins: 'unknown signature', 'known signature' and 'known bad signature', you aren't thinking about it very much.
And if it is easy to repudiate keys, then your ISP or bank can sign your key. Geography solved.
It might not be worth sinking this far into the gravity well of the sun.
I don't think it matters much, even our loudest shout is going to be a galactic whisper, and at the moment, if anybody does hear us and decide to come do something, there isn't much we could do about it.
I think you are going in the wrong direction. 2 million years is the blink of a geologic eye, and that's all it took us to get to where we are (or perhaps 100 million if you want to look at us as a product of the evolution of mammals).
Prior to humans, there are lots of periods extending into the hundreds of millions of years where life didn't seem to change much. Cut out 1 of those periods and all of the sudden we would have the opportunity to have existed for 100 million years (or 2 of the periods if you take the long view above).
Of course, we have no idea of those seemingly static periods were crucial to our eventual development or not.
They are unlikely to even be able to get here if they actually have a strong need for our resources (and if it is easy for them to get here, then it is probably easier for them to get somewhere else).
And even if they do need the resources, it would be a capricious, boring race that harvested earth before it harvested the rest of the solar system (I realize that people don't like the assumption that they would 'be like us', but I don't think it is all that bad an assumption, a large cooperative society seems like the easiest path to high technology; that doesn't do anything to address out of control machines, but organic nihilists seem pretty unlikely).
You are being ridiculous. Even the most cynical airline will be worried about destroying their planes, and they aren't going to destroy their planes for the revenue from 1 flight.
"Even" Hollywood doctors would have a problem with the ethics (quotes because opinions vary on how bent their ethics really are). This guy is weeks into his recovery and swallowing water is a milestone (he can't chew food yet).
So even if somebody genuinely wanted to be severely mutilated (remember, this guy didn't start with a working face) and had the millions of dollars to pay for it, it isn't real likely they would find someone to do it.
That could change quite a lot in 10 or 20 years (as the techniques continue to advance), but I'd bet $5 that face transplants will still be very notable in 30 years.
The core difference here is that you are talking about availability and affordability together and I am not.
There are medical professionals present and willing to deliver a very high standard of care in the United States. Not everyone can afford to use their services.
I suppose it is fair to talk about affordability as a component of availability, but the context in my first post makes it pretty clear that I am not.

Effective at what?

If this holds up, it hurts Brazilians a lot more than it hurts Google.
It is inconvenient for Google, but they don't derive a lot of their revenue from user comments.

What controls did the cameras you tried lack?
Or do you want one with no option to turn on the automatic stuff?
Good luck finding someone to take the other side of that bargain.

It is still ambiguous, but it is better.
Bacon. Kevin Bacon. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Yeah, it's way less damaging when your personal information is stolen from a small business.
It still has the flaw that you have to trust them not to make it appear that you are doing things you would never want associated with you.
Of course, trust is largely a social problem, so it isn't surprising that throwing technology at it doesn't help much.
Cookie white-listing seems saner and saner.

But scientists have traveled to the bottom of the oceans, to boiling volcanic vents, just to say hello to the bacteria that are there.

There is also plenty of local red tape:

You should just have a couple more fingers stitched on.
It's already exploded. I started a game and then it told me that game was full when I tried to join it.
It would be better if it didn't reveal the message when everything is left blank.

You can inspect the source and verify that it doesn't actually submit the data.
That doesn't say anything about what other people see, but if there is a problem and enough people investigate, someone should eventually notice it.
