Thats funnier than the original email. Do you understand what happens when you open a page in a web browser ? Your machine connects to a web server and asks for a page e.g. index.htm The web server will then commonaly locate that file give it some headers and send it back to your machine. If it the request is a CGI/ASP/PHP etc file then it runs it (if so configured) and returns the results. The results might be blank and/or your request could have caused the launch of a program that turns on xmas tree lights. So the request for bizarre-google-request-update on thedeanhunt.com server could return a database driven dynamically built page (which you see as HTML) or it could be returning a cached copy or it could be returning a static HTML file built dynamically when new comments are added. And of course it could be turning on and off his xmas tree lights at the same time. etc etc etc remember this is an over simplification of the process and possibilities.

Anonymous but for how long ? 1. Give PrefPass your email address - they assign you a unique ID 2. Visit vendor, PrefPass system passes you PrefPass unique ID 3. Vendors site gives you customised info based on your "prefs" list 4. You buy from Vendor, at this point you have to give them all the usual information required for billing. 5. Vendor associates unique PrefPass ID with vendor assigned ID and forever knows exactly who you are each time you vist.
I am not sure how many years it has been, but I have yet to replace a DVD player and my last VHS player lasted 10+ years (different stock from todays fare). As the new disks can not be changed in such a way to break them on 'old' players there is just going to be 'legit' players and 'old' players, note: 'old' players can not be classed as non-legit. This is all based on the fact the goverments do not do something stupid on the behalf of the movie companys.

In tetris, you often have to make complex decisions: getting single lines quickly or more lines later on.
Should you create a 'bad' line (piece does not fit)(to fill in later) or make future shapes less likey to fit.
