Having this information crawled and therefore easily available to a world-wide audience makes me nervous.
ummm. Pretty much all the carriers already make this information available from their own websites. Google is just consolidating it in one place. So if you know enough about the package to know the tracking number, you would also know which carrier and so could obtain the same information anyway (eg: by calling them on the phone) So just by consolidating it Google is not increasing the risk in any meaningful way.
Also, just because you did not know this information was not available does not mean it was not widely know.
I agree with this. I like the way Moz will popup a dialog listing all my user/passwords for a page and I can select one. In firefox, much like IE, I have to go the password and then hit down arrow or something to make it appear. Also, the options in Mozilla are more consistent and it is easier to customize. I guess I don't completely agree that having most options only configurable from about:config makes the browser more user friendly.
The only two things of FireFox that tempt me are 1) being able to easily uninstall extensions 2) Sage only works in firefox
And the same with Privoxy which is cross-platform and uses Perl compatible regexp rather than a custom language.
I do think that Proxomitron has a larger following though and might be a bit more flexible.
Also note that Proxomitron is no longer being actively developed since it was not open source and the developer tragically passed away. There is however a new open source project Proximodo which is trying to re-implement the functionality and claims to be cross-platform.
I use Privoxy along with a "hosts" file and I hardly see any ads (popup or embedded).
If you see http://whiteboxlinux.org/news.html development on next version of WhiteBoxLinux continues. The link you posted is to a site run by one developer who decided to switch projects. I am not sure how many people are involved with Whitebox, but there sure seems to be enough activity there. Guess I should just ask on their mailing list about what's happending and difference between WhiteBox and CentOS.
We use RHEL for our production and staging server. But use WhiteboxLinux for all the development server. Those servers are not critical, but having a configuration similar to production environment is useful.
Pretty much every big budget game that gets released or is about to be released is pirated. So why do we need to have a Front Page story everytime some analyst wants to rant about piracy.
I used this feature while signing up for a couple of mailing list. However, there is an issue with posting to mailing lists. If I subscribe as data64+listname@gmail.com, then when I do post to the list from gmail, the "from" address is just data64@gmail.com so the listserv thinks I am not a subscriber to the list and it gets shunted off to morderator land. I can only change the "reply-to" address in the settings not the "from" address.:(
I am waiting for eprompter(www.eprompter.com) to add GMail support. That way I get all my Yahoo, hotmail, Gmail and other web based mail accounts monitored by the same app.

Mods why is the parent at -1 ? This is an obligatory reference to "Hitchhikers Guide To Galaxy", where the earth was created to figure out the question to the answer 42.
Shouldn't we be doing the smart thing and just changing the name from P2P to something else (eg: c2c ) Looks like to most of our legal processes and especially the perception of those in the legal business, the name does matter quite a bit.

No. But when I install a Linux distro I do not get all the 100 million packages. I just get what I need, mainly because additional services means more vector points for hacking into the box. With phones the way to choose which features you get is to select a particular model which is exactly what the parent poster is talking about.

As a Canadian, I want my government to commit all military resources. Both the boats and all four canoes.

would be to use Net::SFTP. At this point you are scripting in Perl, which might be a good thing ;)
but Mozilla is still the better browser

Why do you say WhiteboxLinux is dead ?
The user list seems to be active enough. Last I heard (in dec.2004) they were working on new version WBL4.0
We use RHEL for our production and staging server. But use WhiteboxLinux for all the development server. Those servers are not critical, but having a configuration similar to production environment is useful.

Last time I heard this same news, the number was 500. I guess this is what they mean by the high inflation rate in South East Asia.

Now you want to tell people to "Go ahead and open all those emails with attachments" ?
