Ok, I'll concede the point. If the information was made part of a publically accessable database where my insurance company was likely to go look then yes I'd be pissed. I guess I was taking you literally. Just a page with the info? No I wouldn't care that much... if it wasn't usable for fraud. Were it usable for fraud then I'd change the relevant numbers with the govt. But anyway, you threat of creativity is hard to ignore.
Not really care. Do any of you wan't to know the above datails about me? (Shut up Troll) I don't expect that anyone would find this info, or bother reading it. Only famous people have these concerns, and Sealand isn't going to make it any _worse_ for them...
Telco: Not if it could constitute part of a credit rating. And telephone communication is protected as private communication. So there isn't much they could release there.
Bank: No. Thats credit/financial information and closely regulated.
ISP: Again, if it isn't financial info, and they aren't intercepting information that is defined as private then they may be able to there. This part I don't have a clear picture of.
As there is no exchange of money/goods it isn't a binding contract. The "exchange" part is the key bit. They are making a promise, and thats all. You haven't done anything to earn their keeping their end of the deal, so you can't claim damages if they default.
If you were to argue that providing your information was your end of the exchange, then you might be able to get damages equivalent to the value of that information. Somehow, I don't think thats going to pay legal fees.
This is just general contract law though, in regards to the phrase "legally binding agreement". I don't know about special provisions relating to privacy.
As an example, if I say I'll give you $100, but don't you can't take me to court unless you did something in return.
My real name is literally non-existent on my windows partition, and in a few mail archives under debian. This paranoia of course precludes entering any identifying/demographic info into a web browser. The only case where I have given any personal info is buying a book from pre-patent-amazon. I guess that's it: if you don't trust them with your credit card, don't tell them which country you are in. And in that case use gtkcookie or just make a new account on your box. Which leads me to my next question. So what if Double Click pins a cookie on me? (I opted out anyhow) The information that they can get from that is that I read way too much slashdot.
Wonder what profiles there are of me out there online. I'd probably be a 73 year old Albanian woman who runs Linux. (In case you are wondering, I'm not.)
When biometrics becomes mainstream they will also be able to tell you are typing with one hand. I think this is homebrew justice actually, the watchers being watched. How do you think the porn actors felt!
I have been runing test1 since it came out I has been perfectly stable. The only problem with my use is that the APM isn't working quite right, and USB is worth it. I'll have to try this, and hope that is addresses the APM. Oh yeah, And don't mix Maxtor and WD on the same IDE chain with this kernel. They have enabled UDMA, and some Westsern Digital drives chatter with Maxtors when that is on. You should be able to UDMA off in your BIOS. I had this problem, and it starts to errode your fs. Nothing I couldn't fix with apt of course. Right on Linus et al.
And I was already wondering what the hell ".net" really ment. I'm also suprised that thier marketing goons didn't try ".com" as thier product. Embrace and extend boys. Embrace and extend....
A genetic pool, eg an interbreeding set of a species is a problem solving algorithm. Diverse successful attributes are collected and all sorts of combinations are tried. The main factor on whether a population converges too early is selective pressure. The higher the selective presure the less tolerant the enviornment is toward keeping less successful (but perhaps very useful) genetic information. . As for your lab vs. real life example: The quality of the computer simulation is the essential ingredient. The GA is well studied. Who cares if you optimise for the wrong enviornment?
Genetic Algorithms are a staple for engineers. About 5 years ago they used almost the same technique to achieve similar results with jet engine turbines. Civil engineers love the stuff especially. Consider the problem of finding the optimal route for a highway through mountains that involves moving the least amount of dirt. The search space is massive, but not so hilly that a GA can't function well.
You cold be having problems with your loopback configuration if you are running unstable kernels. The system will time out at boot before starting your window manager, and thats whats taking so long. Gnome uses loopback for communication for CORBA. Hence the 'n' for network in the name. Anyway, I had this problem until it pissed me off enough and I correctly configured my networking.

What country are you in?
- Doctor: No. Thats strictly regulated.
- Telco: Not if it could constitute part of a credit rating. And telephone communication is protected as private communication. So there isn't much they could release there.

Opt out here . I'm more worried about agents that we don't know about and don't have to provide services such as this.

I found the fix by reading kernel traffic of all things. And honestly, I was taking their word for it.
