Also, if you want privacy, get a local transparent proxy server and make it block or mangle the requests passing thru. And then enjoy being labeled as IE6 use when actually using the newest version of a modern browser (you dont need to know the one, as you wont ever get my real browser UA).
Thats like requiring coffee cups to be labeled with: caution hot. Anyone, who has a brain knows that coffee that just came out of the machine is hot. It just seems that in the US, you cannot expect common sense.
DNT is just another similar thing. US made standard: "i just sent you data, but you may not use it". US folks will follow it and sue each other for ignoring this header. The rest of the world is sitting, watching, eating popcorn and laughting their asses off on how there seems to be no common sense at all in the US.
The problem are the people that watch people die. If you really want to sea people die, i guell there is enought material on the net for them to fap to. This discussion should not be about: whats worse: airing the suicide or reposting it, but about: why do people like to watch others die...
what would that help, if they didnt know, how to use them? same problem with browsers.
All you need to not be tracked, is allready an your machine./etc/hosts (even windows has that) cookie settings autorun scripts to clean eg. flash cookies blocking of unwanted domains...
most likely your machine + browser has all this functionality allready. The thing is, the regular user wont understand how to use these features...
you suggest that all ads be serverd from central servers. why? what is "advertisment"? is a blog post about me being happy to eat at my favorite restaurant advertisment?
so if i post about eating somewhere i have to move to a centralised server or get penaltised (becuase if there is no penalty, and/or not the whole world has this law, noone will care at all)
If you do not want to be tracked, DO NOT SEND REQUESTS. But sending requests with a "please handle this one but dont use it to track me" comment... Well, did anyone *really* expected that anyone would respect that? Sorry to say that, but this whole standard never made any sense from the beginning...
Its the same like crying for the ability to make the internet "forget" dumb posts you did to facebook and co. If you do not want them to be used against you some day in the future, dont post them at all.
... Now that grub2 is finally finished, let us dump that pile of bloated crap (a config generation tool is a great idea) and start grub3. So we finally get an awesome bootloader with the features of grub2 minus all the bloat, while maintaining an user-editable config file and also has the new "features" that M$ came up in the meantime.
Well one could see this the same with ipv4 (grub1) and ipv6 (grub2)...
I would have preffered another way like making domaingrabbing illegal all over the world and then suing them to hell. Anon did it faster, but that wont be a long-term solution - what a pity.

this is the american way of adressing a problem:
make a law, and expect all people to car about it, if they dont, sue them...
well, that might be the way in the USA, but everywhere else in the civilisated world, noone would care
