The unique visitor statistic you're talking about is completely useless anyway. Another way to phrase it is: "how many pairs of eyes have seen this site, in total, ever". So if I see the site, I'm forever counted as having seen it once, and no more.
From the point of view of ad impressions, this would imply that ads have exactly one chance of having an effect on a visitor, no matter if there's several hours, days, or weeks in between views. But that's not how ads work, you want to show it to the same pair of eyeballs repeatedly, and also to a lot of different pairs as well.
Is there any thrashcan feature/extension for FFox? As in Opera: closed tabs get put into the thrashcan, and you can "undo" with Ctrl-Z to resurrect them, or pick out individual pages. I think blocked popups also get sent there, for optional viewing..
This brings a thought to my head... while still avoiding Godwin's Law.
I'd say it could be a practical solution, but every implementation of it will be Very Bad. Because: we humans value life highly (most of us at least (I hope)), and especially one's own life.
But consider a society where the common good is always regarded much higher by any individual, than the same individual's own life. In this case, it would be perfectly reasonable for the society to decide on the best traits (such as intelligence), and then the inferior individuals would volunteer to not breed, or even eliminate themselves.
There won't be any such human societies however, so while it is a solution to a problem, there can't be any practical implementation, which makes it unacceptable.
Do tell me if I'm wrong; otherwise, I have an ant colony that wishes to discuss this recipe to becoming Overlords (tm).
I believe that this right is an important deterrent for oppressive government.
By assuming the worst, you make the worst out of the current situation as well. I say: in a civilized country, citizens need no guns for protection.
What this amounts to currently, is a trust that the army won't turn their weapons on their own, which seems a fair assumption (though it sometimes happens, in some places). It also implies that the US isn't a civilized country, but that's another discussion.
Owning a lot of guns may give some freedom in a hypothetical future, but what is it giving now?
I'd say they're grouped by the stuff that matters most, not by historical relationships that may not have any relevance anymore. Personally I find it more useful than a pure genealogy chart would be.
Regardless of all that, "cleaning up the Internet" sounds like a reasonable idea to me. The problem is in what's cleaned up, and the implementation.
I jump over the junk and thrash by utilizing a good search engine, while the chinese method no doubt involves removal of the junk altogether, and our definition of "junk" may differ widely.

CD's are spirals not concentric circles.
It's not always matching because getuid != geteuid.

You misspelled "Frist pulse!1"

Exactly. And the poor guy's tongue sticking out his ass is a pretty clear "bruise" to me.
Fellow victioms of retinal assault, I have found the culprit: www.blinkyou.com (through a link on a myspace page, no less)

The sniffers will be staring at the packet logs for weeks, trying to figure out why the passwords don't stick.
I think what Linux needs across the board is not only sane, but excellent defaults.
So what, is the money dirty because of it?
There's no difference in this context. It's all about coding stuff, though not necessarily in a programming language.
I remember the time when those types of jokes were funny. I was quite young then..

That might be on purpose, actually.

No, Fiveevif.

Bi-directional text avoided? What's this then.
I think I read somewhere some kind of paper that said that most of all child pornography is committed 9 months before conception.
I just read the first few tags..
