I agree with you Simon. And another thing... you know when you drain your bathtub, you get those little water-cyclone thingies as the water spirals down into the drain? Well, I'd be careful not to accidentally disrupt those with your toe, because eventually all the pent up energy in your bathtub will cause it to explode. !!! Just like with the forest fires. !!! -sarcasm off -
How is it illegal or even immoral to use proxies? I've seen lists of machines (ip addresses and ports) that can be used as http proxies. They are machines on a public network, running software specifically for acting as http proxy. How/why is it immoral to use them?
I don't understand the idea of getting "permission" to use these machines either... do I have to ask for permission before I access a web server too? How can anyone get upset that a machine running a public service on a public network gets used by the public??
Hotmail has been on a steady decline every since Microsoft bought it. Just compare it to gmail or yahoo (which you CAN use with almost ANY useragent, even ones that don't support javascript). Most other webmail providers are now more rhobust, with a cleaner interface.
Not to mention you don't have to worry about them trashing your Non-Sender-ID emails.
a few days ago I submitted a story about anonycat.com, which is an open source anonymous surfing proxy that you CAN read slashdot with (plus you don't even have to download it if you dont want) and it was rejected in favour of a story about Google finding a new way to take a sh#t. oh WELL!
and BTW anonycat need a few good mirrors, if any slashdotters are interested.
Thank you for that revealing demonstration of the difference between civilization and barbarism. "Devil's Advocate" can be an extremely effective rhetorical device. Of course, if you're serious, then you wouldn't mind if I came over to your house and murdered you and your family -- because after all, by your logic if I'm physically capabable of doing it, then I have every right to do so and you have no right to live.
Do you drive a car? Do you have any idea how many ants you run over? What gives you the right to murder those ants? Just because you are bigger? Just because it's more 'convenient' for you to get to work faster that way? barbarian! And lets not forget, those those ants are a LOT more complex and intelligent than microbes.
Presumably this is a reference for them in case you do something naughty online, which wouldn't still be required under the anonymous borrowing.
Besdies, if you wanted to surf with anonymity, you could go here: http://anonycat.com/ That's a plug for my site, which just went online today. the anonymizing classes are free/open source.
Btw, look at what prohibition did to drinking in US. I just hope some kid in some corner of the world learns C and assembly just to hack through the school proxy to browse pr0n. Talk about incentive !!.
yes... they *could* learn C and assembler. Or they could just visit an anonymizer site like http://anonycat.com/ and be done with it.
I don't want to see graphics, or animations, or hear sounds,... [snip]...Ok, I am whining again, but you would whine too if you had to surf porn at 2.5 k/s
what kind if imageless, soundless, unanimated porn are you surfing exactly?;)
if you wanna convert images to text where possible, and save some bandwidth without having a butchered layout, try the anonycat web proxy, which will launch next week at anonycat.com, but you can test a beta preview here
I've lost my enthusiasm for languages that automatically instantiate variables. Perl and Javascript come to mind.
One reason is that when I'm reading code, it's extra work to think "where the hell did THIS variable come from? was it just created on this line, or should I scan up higher to see if something was going on further up".
And in javascript you can suddenly have a variable like foo.bar.whatever, and who knows how many (if any) of those objects were instantiated earier or somewhere else, if any. Not to mention that you can screw yourself my mistyping variable names. what a mess, no thanks!!
They should sell it with a blank monitor. If you can't double check to see whether you've made any mistakes, it will force you to be accurate the first time.
Well, that's the whole point, isn't it? If both copies are (in their own minds) "me", and both copies are different from each other (ie each has it's own, encapsulated consciousness), than obviously neither copy is the same consciousness as the "original" me... the copy of the thing is NOT the same as the original thing. And that contradicts the what the original poster of the scenario was implying. Or stating outright.
Well, what if two copies were made, and placed side by side in the same bed. When I woke up, would I be the one on the left side of the bed, or the right side?

The ascii value of "3" is 51.
Yawn.
OMG your message, including line breaks, is EXACTLY 36 (6x6) characters long.

Having firefox popup a dialogue for each and every cookie is a major pain in the ass.
I surf using a web proxy,
anonycat
that way, you don't ever get ANY cookies, but you can still visit/use all the sites.
it sounds like it would be a lot easier for you to surf with an anonymizer like anonycat.
That way, you avoid ALL cookies, but don't have to give up sites that requires them to work.

if you want to surf anonymously without downloading and installing stuff, check out anonycat.
http://anonycat.com/
it's open source, so you can download and run it from your own computer if you want, but you can also just surfy anonymously from the main page.
it's pretty good for viewing slashdot, too, which you can't do with Tor.

researchers working on this enabled the system to translate from Chinese to English without any researcher being able to speak Chinese
Hmmm.. and they that it works because...??
Difinitely is definitely spelled 'definitely', not defiantly spelled 'definately'.

Or at least one of the most commonly misspelled.
BTW I was just judged "non-human" even though I typed in the correct letters, has this happened to anyone else?
