There need not be any either. Either way, if such are known, or if any should exist and be found, they are no longer any concern; that's the point of this statement.
Heh, I'm actually reading some anonymous girls lifeblog semi-regularly. It's also a good lanugage practise, but what I also find interesting is that she writes a lot, but gets 1-2 comments per month. I suspect she has very few readers, which somehow makes the whole thing more natural.
All iRiver players play ogg. My 20gb hd-iRiver can take a beating both software-wise and hardware-wise. I haven't heard of any software bugs like that, and the firmware can be easily upgraded anyway. The new mini 5G version have a touch-strip for scrolling, similar to the apple wheel. (As I understand, that wheel is patented). And they are geek-friendly. As an example: tell me how many portable music players have optical input AND output?

Good lord, man. Had to remind myself you were talking about a pointing device, and not a horse!

Yes, the best ergonomic point of them all: move around. That's why I like wireless, I can take the mouse in mu hands, lean back, and read the page with the scroll wheel, left+right button is forward in Opera, right+left is back. Brilliant! I also have an L-shaped desk, so sometimes I have the mouse in front of me, someimes to my right side while sitting further from the monitor, etc.
BS. My pda has 128mb built in, and has an SD slot. I have no problems with storage. Besides, how much storage do you need for browsing, mail, etc.? This isn't a portable dvd-player.
I store all important passwords on my Zaurus PDA, encrypted with a long passphrase constructed with diceware. It's there so I don't have to worry about memorizing multiple long passwords, kind of like a backup. As long as I can remember one, I can get all the others. The memory advantage is that one 40-char 8-word phrase is a lot easier to remember than 4 different 10-char passwords with all kinds of weird characters and capitalisations. This gives me freedom to choose really good passwords for everything else, since they don't necessarily have to be easy to remember as well.
Of course, passwords I use often are another matter, but by using them often one remembers them. And again, forgetting is merely an inconvenience.

Exacly. The options are two: either burn out slowly (or quickly) or work sensible hours. I don't think it makes sense to allow any employer to slave-drive their employees, since they evidently, if allowed, will do so.
The thing is, here on slashdot there is decent discussion going on. What other blog can you go to where you have such a wealth of well-formed opinions and jokes? Ok, perhaps "wealth" is a misnomer, but that doesn't change the situation. Slashdot is more about the comments and a few links than anything else.
The only other thing which makes blogs interesting is if the writer is good. Example: The Darth Side
Good writing, good discussion, what else is there?
And IP address is a no-go. Basing location on where the cable is plugged in is hairy.
Either the operator asks where the emergency is, or the phone itself has some facility for setting/changing the location; those are the only sensible options, in my opinion.
Cookie editing... I learn something new every day.
Notice also that the image zooming now interpolates, so no more pixely blobs. But of course it doesn't work on slashdot because here we use ancient gifs.
You can block ads/urls by filtering them in 'filter.ini'. I'll skip the explanation and point you at Opera Adfilter. About the same, not as smooth, but just as effective.
That's a feature I've been sorely missing. But hey presto, I just read TFA, and there is something similar! My god, I am saved.
TFA refers to this thing, which automatically modifies the filter.ini file. You can download a list of initial servers to block (still a bit small it seems), then you can leave the program in the background. It then listens to the clipboard for url-looking strings. You can then copy an image url and it pops up, asking if you want to add the server to the exclude list, Yes=add, No=modify, Cancel=cancel. Close program when list becomes comprehensive, to prevent unnecessary popups.
It's not as smooth for sure, but it works. Of course, there is also an include list in the filter. And: is there somewhere where I can get a larger initial list that uses wildcards? (like http://*.doubleclick.net/*)

That would be a ridiculously wide statement.
But this is Nokia saying this, not the kernel developers. Does this have no legal meaning simply because the target's licence doesn't allow for this?

A C64 can too. But does anyone really want to?

Hm, well a Sweden tour seems to be the largest currently optimised tour at 24,978 cities.

Don't forget matured kimchi.

Aha, that explains it. Indeed, the test was flawed, since I rarely shut down Opera at all, but had just started Firefox for the test.
