According to the constitution, by law Congress must provide a postal system. Short of a constitutional ademendment, they are just a lawsuit away from any "reform" ideas being thrown out.
They don't have to remove it, they can just make it suck to the point where a private carrier would be stupid not to compete with them.
What's more, seeing as how the USPS sucks, the government can give corporate welfare out to anyone who wants to compete with it. It's really not hard to fool the public, you know.
I thought that these RFID transmitters had a range of 10-15 ft. Barring society installing scanners every 15 feet, how is this a threat to privacy? You probably have a better chance of being tracked by using your debit card than RFID technology.
I can think of two easy places:
Traffic lights
Police cars
They don't need to be placed so that they never lose track of you. They just need to be placed so that they can do 'Suspect was last detected near Womble and King.' affectively and then send a police car over to scan the area and track you down even further.
The blurb fails to mention the one new feature which makes this release very worthwhile, at least for me... Sound support! You can now have it play a sound on receipt of any incoming mail.
'You have mail... It's not spam!'
At least now we know Evolution will survive to the year 3000...
I dunno how out it is for me, but the jury's gone home for me. It was so depressing watching the internal arches of the passageways of Moia being dumped in the Homebush Waste Reclamation Centre.:/
Of course, there was humour in this error too. If the Amiga kernel got way too confused and couldn't provide proper information, the last set of numbers spelled out 'HELP' in ASCII.:) (*sniffle*)
Ofcourse, this being my second post ever to slashdot, it'll have to be a correction for the first post, from which I left out an important bit of info... Namely, wtf the pref does. Joy.
Anyway, the pref basically causes Mozilla to ignore a target of a new window, thereby opening the page up in the current window instead.
Bah.
God I wish I could tag on additions to a post I've already made... bleh...
Still annoying: when tabbed browsing is enabled, links to open new windows still open new windows (instead of new tabs). Damnit, I'm not going to control-click every link I suspect of opening a new window, this is silly.
This is probably not quite what you want. What you seem to want is covered in bug 105547 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10554 7) but this is pretty damned close so I thought I'd share.
This is not part of the GUI prefs settings so you'll need to go into your profile directory and either open up prefs.js or user.js and put in this line:

2) Many people that you think you know, including potentially some of your friends and relatives regularly view child porn. Are they creeps?
If they knowingly view child porn, then yes they are creeps and whilst you can't choose your family you CAN choose your friends.
shift-ctrl-r or shift-cmd-r depending on your platform
If that doesn't work for you, clean your keyboard and raise it well above your knees.

user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true);
If you're editing prefs.js, PLEASE only do so after you quit Mozilla as it'll overwrite your additions on exit.
I got this off a link from http://mozilla.weebeastie.net/. Can't remember which one right now. :/
