  1. Re:Let me explain why Yahoo feels this way (politi on Yahoo Will Ignore IE 10's "Do Not Track" · · Score: 1

    *Posting of personal experience*

    Posting as AC makes you a fairly questionable source, as such, I don't feel the need to believe anything you say.

  2. Re:it's 10 ads vs 1 targeted ad on Yahoo Will Ignore IE 10's "Do Not Track" · · Score: 1

    I also agree with the original poster, I would rather see targeted advertising over random advertising that has no relevance to my interest.

    can Linux even run on a Apple Fusion drive?

    Yes, it just won't receive the benefits of an Apple Fusion drive, but it does run fine.

    They aren't going to get it short of invading Google and killing everyone who resists.

    But this isn't strictly Google, Google doesn't have to agree, but perhaps Google's competition might.

    You're confusing privacy with anonymity. They aren't the same thing.

    How do you spend those on ARPANET, since you claim to use it still?

    I did?

  7. Re:robots.txt on Google Threatens French Media Ban · · Score: 1

    There choices are "be listed", or "not be listed". There is no "be listed but with conditions",

    Apparently one of their choices was lobbying to create a new choice, did you not even read the summary?

    And why should Google be forced to provide that service

    Did I say they should?

  9. Re:Gridlocked with No Way to Prime the Pump on Vast Bulk of BitCoins Are Hoarded, Not Used · · Score: 1

    Would you rather spend something that will have less value tomorrow or spend something that will have more value tomorrow? The choice is pretty clear.

    Actually, I just don't spend my Bitcoins because I don't find them useful for buying things that are worthwhile to me or trust many of the Bitcoin merchants (just look how often an exchange of some sort is in the news!).

    what's the difference between a bank and you?

    The bank uses the money to make more money and then pays you some money back in the form of interest from the profits they created using your money.

    if the bank buys and holds dollars

    Then I'd pull my money out and put it in a different bank.

    Is this like digital zoom verses analog zoom?

    But isn't that fair use?

    Fair use is a vague legal jungle and not every country even has fair use, nevermind different definitions.

    They didn't say they didn't want spiders. Nor did they say they didn't want to be on search engines, they said they wanted to be paid for having their content displayed (even if it is just a sniplet) on another site. Your proposal does not match the circumstances in the slightest.

    Uhm, my CABLE PROVIDER has MULTIPLE PHYSICAL NETWORKS that serve its service area.

    My answers to other posts have sufficiently answered this already on this topic. To give you a hint on what to look for: automated, peering agreements, IXPs.

    This is not a forums on or topic ARPANET.

    You seem to have problems following threads, I will make it simple for you. This particular thread is about "You're confusing the Internet and ARPANET." in response to "The Internet was designed with a very specific failure mode in mind: big cities and their switching centers being obliterated, i.e. nuked, and the need to route around the damage."

  24. Re:Good to study on The Pirate Bay Starts Using Virtualized Servers · · Score: 1

    Use ARPANET then (good luck)

    It doesn't exist anymore.

    The modern internet does routing of packets past failed points and retransmissions.

    Not in the advent of a nuke taking out an IXP in usual circumstances.

  25. Re:Good to study on The Pirate Bay Starts Using Virtualized Servers · · Score: 1

    Who cares about ARPANET - we're talking about today's internet and its TCP implementation.

    Indeed, and if you followed the thread properly, you might just be able to understand the relevance of my post.
