seeks mail with 'the desktop experience' and uses webmail instead of the tons of free or cheap POP3/IMAP mail out there?
My IMAP mail provides 100% 'the desktop experience' and has a web interface. By that account it beats Yahoo(!) hands down. Unlimited space? Mine has that too.
GM is grafting and selective breeding that has been going on for thousands of years compressed into 1year with NO chance for other systems to also evolve in reaction to those changes.
I can GM eg corn to be poisonous to humans. If it happened in nature over thousands of years tho, we would have either developed an immunity or bred out that trait.
Both sides are BS'ing you.
I mean, eg software goes thru testing/checks before being used, does that mean no commercial software have bugs?
Same for GM food, you can't test for EVERY possibility. It's just some suit thinking we should test for A,B, and C and that must be enuf.
At a moment where many people wonder if the use of nanoparticles is safe, it's good to know that nanotechnology has been widely used for a very long time.
Well, do YOU know of any living ancient Egyptians, Greek or Romans? Clearly, the use of nanoparticles -> death in 100% of cases.
You're making the same wrong assumptions everyone else who has replied has - that profiling criteria are easy to deduce and simple to evade.
But it is. You fly 10 times, and the chance that you're IN profile but NOT ever searched drops to near nil. Fact is many people are checked not once, but EVERY single flight they board.
For profiling criteria NOT to be easy to deduce, every now and then the officers would have to NOT check a profiled person. Which defies common sense even more!
"Profiling" - performed properly has been proven MATHEMATICALLY to be less effective than a purely random search.
MATHEMATICALLY
no 'suggesting' , 'likely', or 'maybes'. This was on./ last year.
An attacker sends a group of people to test the profiles. Say 5 flights each, with a one-way ticket bought the previous day with cash. Ones subject to a random test are out. Ones NEVER tested are candidates for the real thing.
Now unless it becomes arrestible just for MATCHING the profile, nobody can stop these probes of the profiling.
So you have a guy/gal who's not on the profile.
Now when he/she attacks, instead of say 10 officers doing random tests, you have say 8 officers doing random tests cuz the other 2 are doing profiling, which oh how convenient we know we don't match.
So an attacker is LESS likely to be found with your 'common sense' profiling. So yeah, you say, why not have 10 officers doing random tests and 2 EXTRA doing profiling? Then you'll have 10 vs 12 searches, ie your EXTRA resources are better off NOT profiling.
common sense is when people have no way to prove what they're saying. If we relied on common sense, the earth would still be flat.
Indeed, VHS was initially inferior to Betamax but improved faster than Betamax. Sony also helped kill Betamax by refusing to release movies on it or sth(?)
Wonder why Seamonkey gets close to nil attention here, thinking./ users would want the extra functionality/control of Seamonkey over FF's pretty face.
ALways wonder why if both use Gecko, FF supports horizontal scrolls while SM doesn't. Plus touchpad zoom 'just works' in FF and even IE, and 'just doesn't' in SM.
Similar story. I had a problem, paypal had their computers. I needed a human to look at my problem, but nobody would. After 50mails replied by 50 different 'cust. reps' with 20 form letters, 10 faxes, I'm giving up.
Saying that Betamax was 'technologically superior' to VHS is like saying QWERTY was designed to slow typing. NetMD, etc never played mp3. It was all a hoax. You can convert mp3 to atrac on MD, at 2x to 64x speed vs CD dubbing. Searches will show that 1.5x was the norm and it left tons of temp files on your PC.
hard drive functionality... was there from the start. The very first MDs. There were drives for 150MB data MDs back before ZIP ever took off. To re-release it after it never caught on and to make you think it was a new update shows Sony's true strength - marketing crap.

Perhaps the US gov't has a different definition of privacy and liberties than the rest of us. Cuz this is a textbook example of violating citizens' privacy and civil liberties to me.

Sure, but how can OSS claim to be better/more secure/etc than commercial software if none of the developers gives a #('$ about its users? You either have pride and fix your bugs, or you do your fun and don't claim to be better. You can't have both.
As for "but you shouldn't get surprised (or pissed off) if they don't immediately jump to do your bidding." Actually, I had 4-5 functionality bugs in mind back then. All were pre-existing. Between 1-3years old, confirmed, but either non-assigned or wontfix. Meanwhile things like skins were being worked on.
A developer who won't fix a 3yr old bug, but works on 'cool fun' stuff deserves no respect from me. It's not my rights I'm worried about. If I wrote software that had gaping bugs, I'd fix them, because I'd have pride in my work. If OSS developer's pride means slagging off commercial software and telling users to p*ss off, then thye will be no better than script kiddies who pat each other on the back and tell everyone else to #$&% off.
Exactly the problem. OSS is so defensive. With the exception of a handful of the top, everyone treats criticism as criticism on their entire way of life and the OSS system.
Almost everything is responded by either 1) it's OSS, fix it yourself 2) it's in CVS, patch it yourself and occasionally 3) wontfix
You may feel that's a fair answer. It's not. 95% of the pop'n has not the skills to do either. That leave us with users who love the idea of OSS, but hate OSS developers.
I for example stopped reporting Mozilla bugs 3yrs ago, because of this kind of attitude. I feel useless. Strangely, closed software makers respond better and I have yet to feel abandoned by one. Except for MS - try even finding a place to report to them without paying for support!
Clearly they need his DNA so that if one day the gov't needs an elite hacker for some James Bond type covert mission of utmost importance in our war on terrorism (or maybe space aliens), they could quickly make a clone of him.
It is true to say "the japanese can't pronounce it". But anyone who speaks Japanese will know that the Japanese do NOT pronounce English in general anyway. It will be pronounced - uii, and will sound just as silly as wee sounds in English.

I think your (3) is wrong.
The fear is that your code could be patented BY SOMEONE ELSE(first to file) and AT A LATER DATE(no prior art checks)
Our only hope is to be small enough fish that we leak thru.
so does that mean Creative invented the treeview, or the database search?
cuz billions of programs out there may be affected by this.
Surely Archimedes used more than one in his life, thus it is not "THE Archimedes palimpsest", but simply "a Archimedes palimpsest".

Replace 'tower' with 'picture of naked girl' and you realise the real possibilities.......

I agree. Unless Google has 100% control I wouldnt trust it. The company can simply say report 70% leads and nobody could prove the difference.
I saw on tv here in Japan last night about Japan doing the exact same thing. My guess is every team has similar software.
