  1. Privoxy on YouTube Reportedly Bypassing Ad Blockers On Google Chrome · · Score: 1

    I've been using an OS-level blocker for years (privoxy.org). No complaints.

  2. One catch... on 86.2 Million Phone Scam Calls Delivered Each Month In the US · · Score: 1

    Not available on traditional analog landlines.

  3. Privoxy on Google, Amazon, Microsoft Reportedly Paid AdBlock Plus To Unblock · · Score: 1

    I've used http://www.privoxy.org/ this for years. No external lists, doesn't look at hosts, works at system, not browser, level and is open source. For desktop only, though.

  4. Hmmm... on Steve Ballmer: We Won't Be Out-Innovated By Apple Anymore · · Score: 1
    And why am I reminded of this:

    "And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row."
    -after beating Jimmy Connors at the January 1979 Masters. Gerulaitis had lost their previous 16 matches.

  5. Re:How about... on School District Drops 'D' Grades · · Score: 1

    And in California, the D would be named "Indifferently-Abled."

  6. Time to call in ICANN on Google.cn Attack Part of a Broad Spying Effort · · Score: 1

    We gave them this infrastructure 30+ years ago and now they're using it against us. How about if ICANN just revokes the .cn TLD and deallocates all IP blocks living within their borders? If they like censorship so much, let's see how they like it when the rest of the planet treats them like they treat their own people. Sure, there'd be a global meltdown, but we just learned how to deal with those. And yes, this is a stupid post -- just dreaming out loud.

  7. Re:Rights, Shmights on Olympics to Have Massive Surveillance Network · · Score: 1

    Exactly. If it hurts, don't do it. The Gmail syndrome.

  8. Re:200 mS? on Software Tweak Makes Linux Boot In Under 200 ms · · Score: 1

    At least the typo wasn't 200 MS (Microshafts). That would take most of the afternoon.

  9. Re:Stationwagon Quote on Mailing Disks is Faster than Uploading Data · · Score: 1

    Actually, a station wagon has a bandwidth of zip, since there are none, thanks to Volvo, et al, who have turned them all into "SUV"s, sorta like the (??) Advisory Board instantly turning all prunes into "dried plums."
