Thank you for posting this, the churn around this cable cutting stuff is reaching epic proportions and it's good to see someone trying to keep an even keel.
Actually, it's much more nepostistic and unsettling than that. The company who provides the tracking software, called comScore, is not new to spyware. http://www.benedelman.org/news/062907-1.html
Actually, I have visited them both - though never in the same trip
So you're saying that South Dakota is just North Dakota dressed up and pretending to be cool? (well, cooler at any rate)
In other words, North Dakota is the Polkaroo! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polkaroo#Polkaroo )
A fix implies a problem. I would challenge the notion that it's up to any one app to manage another's buffers, unless that is the application's specific and express intent.
Further, a fix to FF will NOT fix the problem (the exploit will still exist in QT), it will only fix it if FF acts as a container for plugins, something that's caused no end of pain from IE.
I'm guessing the "75" in your handle is your age? I don't mean to insult(well ok, maybe a little), it just seems as if you haven't been in a public school in decades.
When I was in public school a decade or so ago, they just threw books at us and said "here, read this, we'll do a test to check if you did and never talk about it again".
The only time my english teacher would discuss anything, she would turn the innocuous into the pornographic. According to her, every time Shakespeare mentions a horse, he's refering to sex, and anytime he mentions snow (and I'm not making this up) he's refering to semen. Experienced? Hell yeah, but not at teaching. My english teacher was essentially a female straight Mr. Garrison (i.e. post-op).
In Louisiana, Thompson helped draft a 2006 bill sponsored by state representative Roy Burrell to ban the sale of violent video games to buyers under 18 (HB1381).
Sorry, but I have to say this: Tim O'Reilly is not a developer. Most developers bridle at the 2.0 moniker because it bastardizes software versioning into something that is decidedly vague. "Web 2.0" is not a whole new version, and applied to something as broad as the web, is laughable to anyone who understands it.
He's a bullshit artist. He describes his company that publishes booksas a technology transfer company, "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators." according to wikipedia.
The discussion of what Web 2.0 actually means/encapsulates in a substantive or quantitative sense is pointless, it encapsulates nothing, there is no defined boundary, there is no describable period when we were "definitely web 1.0" and no identifiable instant or time period when we transitioned from "Web 1.0" to "Web 2.0".
O'Reilly himself defines Web 2.0 as:
Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.
If I ever submitted a project proposal or initiative worded like that, I'd get laughed out of the building. Still, if you can wrap your head around his pseudo-marketing, new-new-age "we are the world via the web now pay me" bullshit, you might be able to get a sense of gullible people think he's talking about. Perhaps that's the closest thing "Web 2.0" has to a meaning?
I'm still wondering what "mysterious science fiction background story" implies. Does that mean there are three silhouettes in the bottom right hand corner of the screen making wise cracks?

The problem remains that if they can show he was accessing his own personal email accounts in the same period of time that songs were being delivered or acquired- then it won't matter who did it.
I certainly hope they can't prove that.
The Media Sentry stuff is bad enough, if the RIAA, a private organization with no investigative authority, can view people's web browsing habits then this is worse than I thought.

I absolutely refuse to believe that!

Modding parent Troll? A bit literal, perhaps?

The Sears VP responsible for this is a former VP of comScore. http://community.ca.com/blogs/securityadvisor/archive/2008/01/02/2nd-response-to-rob-harles-vp-of-sears-shc-community.aspx (last paragraph of the post).
Somethin' sure does smell funny round bouts here.
I can't read "can't" just fine, thank you very much. Writing it is the tricky bit though...
Wait, does this mean we have to meta moderate the moderator managers now?
And I wish the study would show how paying me large sums of money is good for me. Unfortunately, wishing doesn't make it so.

How much do you love tacos?
if we terminate the planet and harvest it for stem cells, and then put the stem cells next to a denny's, we'll get a Planet Denny's?!?
Form the Wikipedia article on JT:
I completely agree!!! Wait, why are we yelling again? DAMN YOU TIM!!!!!!!
Actually, while "replying to you" I think I sorta digressed into a general comment.

So THAT's how Michael Jackson did the moonwalk!
