Of course, Columbus's mission was to find an alternate route to the Indes and its natural resources. As far as Columbus knew, he was going somewhere that Europe was already doing extensive business with. And the point of the voyage was mercantile, ultimately.
And if you don't use the Search button or Sidebar, there's no problem. From the article:
Navigator users can avoid having Netscape log their searches by directly accessing a third-party search engine by typing its address into the browser rather than using the Search button or Sidebar.
Disabling Flash in Mozilla was a little bit easier, I just changed the name of the plugin (look under Help/Plugins) so Moz couldn't find it.
But there should be a button in Moz to enable/disable Flash, so I can keep it turned off 99% of the time (thus avoiding those incredibly sucky ads and splash pages) but I can turn it on if I should ever want to.
They also post an article about spam every other day. This article had nothing new at all, but they posted it anyway.

Not gallantry. Their shares were restricted, that is, they couldn't sell them within a certain period after the IPO. And as a further reason to hold on to the shares, they were "insiders" and so were subject to insider trading rules, that generally required them to disclose their intention to sell in advance (which would drive the price down). So they really couldn't dump their shares.
30 second skip is much better than fast forward. You have to enable it by keying in a sequence on the remote (I think it's select, play, select 3, 0, select). When the commercials start, you 30-sec skip until the show starts again, then 8-sec reverse until the commericals appear again, and you're set. No more than 8 seconds of commercials!
I once got a spam from Pakistan from a wholesaler of gynecological speculums (if you don't know what that is, don't ask). That was one of the weirdest spams ever, wish I had saved it.
Well, I didn't mean to say that most established businesses are members of DMA, I meant that most (virtually all?) members of DMA would be established businesses.
Most of the spam you get isn't from the established businesses that would be members of the DMA. It's mostly from trailer trash. So this isn't really a big deal.
... to read the article, I'll post this reply to this highly overrated lame attempt at a joke. The article says:
According to the site, Yahoo plans to charge consumers between $1 and $4 to retrieve files from a specialized database of some 25 million research documents culled from 7,100 publications, including academic periodicals. Yahoo also expects to offer a "Premium Discount Search" option of 50 documents a month for $4.95.

Molecular biology is where the action is at. Just looking at organisms and trying to classify them isn't really interesting or useful anymore.
There should be a (-1 Dumbass) mod.

A DMCA reference! And was totally unrelated to the topic, as well!

Don't tell me how to mod, cheesedick.
Evacuate the ISS, let it burn up on re-entry, and use the money we save to fund real science.
No, man, don't eat the space cakes. You'll be sorry, believe me.

Offtopic gripe about evil copyright-holding corporation!
OK, I've got DMCA and MPAA, all I need is RMS, SSSCA, and a software patent to commplete the row...
I'm almost absolutely positive that the 8.1 install recognized my LVM volume groups and did the appropriate things with them.
