Why not use different profiles with the -no-remote option? Even if you have multiple tabs open and multiple browser windows, have a profile for financial operations only, or whatever you want to protect and have a persona that is easily recognized for that purpose. Then browser history with personal finance history will not be exposed to your other browsing.
The general population has very little idea about what DRM is or means. Here's an example: The DVD/VCR combo. Albeit anecdotal, several of my acquaintances have bought these products with the naive intention of renting a dvd and recording it to VHS tape, and needless to say, been very disappointed. Or the DVD-burner console, with the same type of intentions. None of them had any idea about copy protection, and certainly their intentions were less than honorable.
But the point is that not being tech savvy, they are clueless as to what the superficial applications of DRM are, let alone the deeper implications. Until more of the general population is made aware of what is at stake, DRM will continue unabated because people buy it. Fortunately, there have been signs that the main stream media are noticing the implications of DRM as evidenced by recent articles in the New York Times.
The rental companies seem to be making a lot of money off of renters who won't buy the dvd because they've rented and watched it. Does the MPAA get a cut from each movie rented, and if they do, how do they keep the rental houses honest?
For Win32 machines, installing the java plugin isn't really that difficult. Click on any "Get the Plugin" link. This should download the necessary files to your computer. Then go to preferences and under Navigator/Helper Applications, add the helper with mime type x-java-vm. For the application, choose the javaw.exe in the java installation directory. Works fine for me.
I teach calculus, trig, etc. My own feelings are that students should be able to use these calculators as tools, but yet still know how to do the basics. I never advocate that school children should forgo multiplication because the calculator can do it for them, any more than Calculus students should forgo the basics of learning to graph. Anonymous Coward is correct. They allow you to see visually what you may not have the talent to draw yourself.

That's why I sleep in on Saturday's.
Crap is going to open a lot of doors for you, mainly the exit.
This is more bastardization of the term "open". Refer to

Caligula ruled from 37 A.D. until 41 A.D. when he was murdered by a tribune of the guard. Hatred didn't afford him a long reign.
