  1. Re:I'm going to get flamed..... on Just How Much Privacy Do We Have? · · Score: 1
    ...and maybe so will I because I'm sending this from work.

    If you want to keep things private, you can find a way most of the time. I believe my bosses have better things to do than reading my email and IMs, however I'll use SSH for IRC and personal communications in general. I know there's always a simple technique called Print Screen, but I'm not that paranoid.
    You can't expect privacy from work, that would be quite hypocritical really.

    However I do expect my medical records to be kept confidential; I don't want whatever bar or place I go to to keep an account of whenever I'm there; if I sign up for a magazine, a service on the web etc.. I don't want them to collect personal data and sell it to other companies.

    If I know I can choose privacy - even though that is not the default, then I'm fine, and I only have myself to blame as long as I know the conditions. But if I have no choice, then there's something wrong.

  2. Irn-Bru? on Scotland: Aliens' Official Favorite Destination · · Score: 1
    I'd rather consider the UFO sightings as an effect of a high consumption of Buckfast rather than Irn-Bru. It might be a bit too up north, but Bonnybridge does not appear to be that far from the Buckfast Triangle.
    (Yes more proof of strange happenings in Bonnie Scotland, a "Buckfast Triangle" between Glasgow and Edinburgh).

    Having said that, I know some people who thought they were seeing UFO's in Glasgow while it was just lights on the streets. I blame the drugs for that one, not just wine.

  3. Re:Truly amazing! on First Reviews of Mozilla 1.0 Roll In · · Score: 1

    I'd been using Opera for quite a while, mainly because of the tabbed browsing. Shortcomings for me were: no SOCKS support, and no password manager. That gave me 2 good enough reasons to give mozilla a try. I'm not 100% satisfied in the way Mozilla handles tab, Opera is still superior in that field. I do miss the mouse gestures too, so that little add-on is great news. I'm definitely going to go for Mozilla now, it is more stable as well. An effort needed for the tabs, and save link target as, and i won't be going back to opera.
