Funny, because the perception in France (full disclosure: I'm french) - regardless of any anti-american feelings - is that the US do spy a lot, with lots of intelligence agencies having focused even more on economic intelligence since the end of the cold war era, forcing us to defend with what we can. (Echelon, for one, is not here to contradict this point of view.)
As much as your quoted article reports mostly on US "defeats", most of the time here we're fed with stories of how we lost (insert obligatory cheese-eating surrending monkeys joke) in this field.
Anyway, I think spying on your foes and friends is as old as humanity, with every party saying "you did it first, I'm only defending" !
I dearly hope Christopher, with all the material at hand about Húrin and Túrin, produces a book whose quality is close to his father's writings. If so, the unavoidable buzz that'll happen in our post-Jackson-movies world would be a huge boost to help popularize all books dealing with Arda before the War of the Rings (The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales,...). That'd be nice: too many people watched the movie, eventually read the related trilogy, and then nothing else.
OK, these picture spams are yet another big hassle, but I think in the mid-term people will be aware that this is 90% scams (the remining 10% being illegal at best) and stop falling for it, however stupid they were at the beginning.
The spam-business must already see its margins greatly erode; only increased volumes keep them afloat.
RTFA: (emphasised by me) Microsoft said developers who obtain Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium through their MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) subscription may use those programs within a virtual machine to assist them in designing, developing, testing and demonstrating their programs.
As a foreigner, I need enlightment: I see these Diebold stories show up regularly on/. and elsewhere, yet it seems that electronic voting spreads in the USA like a plague, ineluctably.
Is this electonic voting system planned to be used throughout the USA for the 2008 elections ? If so, what can US citizen (and the rest of the world) do, does some uproar happen ?
I see only comments, now we need action before it's too late; the hypothesis of USA stopping to be a democracy terrifies me.
Even while I used to surf with IE, I had no ads. Introducing Proxomitron, the überaddkiller.
Combined with Switchproxy, a FF extension that allows me to quickly disable Proxomitron when I need to let go some popup, they're a must. No need to painfully set a block list, like adblock needs. Proxomitron has smart regexps that to the job from the box.

Here is Wikipedia's article on the book.

Another useful link "Updating extensions, using old ones on new builds" HTH, too (it did for me :)
...is Google's Zeitgeist IMO (see "Web Browsers Used to Access Google"). Charts-only, no figures though.
