And what husband is going to take the car to go to a strip club, knowing full well his wife will know exactly where he went, and how long he stayed?
This seems like a much better solution to me. Just the possibility that they might check up on you makes it seem less attractive.
Why stop it, when you could just record it, and let the system of relationships do the hard work of deciding what is "bad" behavior?
Obviously, one could park the car a block away at the local church, or one could walk, but that starts creating questions. Where did you go? Why were you at the church for five hours? Why did you walk?
If it includes an actual EFI chip, that would help explain the steep price tag, but I'm sure it's tricky to fool the OS into thinking it's on the motherboard with just USB, which explains the short supported hardware list.
What does that have to do with your privacy? You need to specify whether you were browsing with your youtube account or not. If you were, you shouldn't complain about your "privacy." If they start selling the information, maybe you can complain a little. The fact that they're recording what you watch and giving you videos that may be similar is a remarkable feature that gives (normal, non-paranoid) people the opportunity to watch other videos that may actually interest them. What they should do, however, is allow the actual deletion of said history, or select parts of said history, much like the Incognito feature of Chrome.
It seems as though a lot of people in this thread have a pretty major misunderstanding of what "multithreading" means as opposed to having several processes. My Firefox instance right now has anywhere from 19 to 20 threads running. Sure, they're all in a single process, and there's not one-per-tab, but it is very certainly multi-threaded.
Chrome changes things by giving us a separate process for each tab. Not a separate thread, but an entirely new process, all its own, ready to only kill one tab when it dies (but each tab could theoretically also be multi-threaded, and probably will be, because a single thread for EVERYTHING a tab has to do doesn't make any sense). I haven't RTFA, so I don't know yet if this is also how IE8 is working, but if it is, I say bra-vo, Microsoft, it's about time you made something worth my efforts. Now all I need is a new computer.:)
The CustomizeGoogle Firefox extension provides blacklist functionality (they call it Filtering).
I know this isn't what you're asking for, but at least it's something you can get now until Google decides it might be worth it to them.
It always makes me smile when a friend optimistically gives Windows Vista a fighting chance, only to complain to me later about how much they dislike it (even before I've expressed my extreme dislike to them). Microsoft shouldn't try to fix Vista, they should start over. The problem isn't with the marketing, so trying to fix the marketing is trying to fix something that isn't broken. "The future is here." always made me smile, but that was because I'd used Vista, and the smile was mostly a forced, depressive smile that VISTA might be the future. For normal people, the flashy OS is enough marketing, but the resource hogging, UAC prompts, and general admin-centric design make it difficult for an average joe to grasp. Most people don't have an "Administrator" (or they don't know what that even means), so they don't understand when Vista tells them they need one.
I had a boss once that lived in Arizona and had a washer that, when started, would run continuously. He left it out on his lawn for several days, a sign on it saying "Free, please take." Then he changed the sign to say "Washer, $100," and it was gone by the next day. I can only imagine the poor sap taking that washer home and jacking up his water bill running it, hoping it might stop eventually.:)
MStar has been offering "G-Rated" internet to people for years. It's just a service you can choose to add to your account. On the new "Utopia", the ISPs are actually REQUIRED to give filtering as a free option. The keyword, of course, being "option".
This all reminds me of the story where Comcast blocked BitTorrent traffic. It didn't work, and I don't think this will either.
These ISPs need to remember who really keeps them in business. These other companies may be frightening, but it's the customers that keep the bills paid.
They didn't answer but they still want $20 million dollars. Speaking honestly, who doesn't want $20 million? I want $20 million, but I'm not going to try to weasel it out of a group of people trying to do the right thing. I'm not quite sure how this kind of thing should be handled, but certainly not by paying up. If they get the $20 million, it will only cause more problems. It's like giving the whining kid the sucker just to shut him up. Give him the stupid sucker enough times, and he'll move on to something bigger, believing he is now in control. The parent-child analogy is a bit of a stretch, but I think someone needs to teach them a lesson, even if I don't know who.
I was always under the impression that the bytecode was a fairly direct representation of the original source code, but your ideas make much more sense. Sorry for my ignorance.
However, I would still place more weight on the JVM, because it's the meat of where the program runs. I believe these run-time optimizations are critical for Java to meet or surpass C++ in speed. As has been stated earlier in this thread, there are lots of cache-type optimizations that can be made at run-time by the JVM that even an optimizing compiler cannot make.
Yeah, I can only wish I wasn't some kind of sad Geek reading Slashdot to pass the time, and were instead an "Old Brit". Great movie about taking sugar to get the drugs down, though!:)
Sound pairing - put devices together, they use their speaker/mic to handshake Yeah, 69 style our phones.
The only issue might be trying to pair something like a flip-phone with a large smartphone, but that's pretty easy to work out.
While this idea is fantastically cool, I don't think I have much problem with the current system. It seems to be working. Obviously we shouldn't stop innovating and coming up with cool new ideas (I really do like your 69 style idea), but I don't think we need to get as excessive as "shaking."
Would this mean that, theoretically speaking, Fat32 could be faster than some other partitioning scheme designed to lighten the load on specific sectors? As long as the flash chip is already balancing things, I would think it would be a good idea to just let it do its job.
Has anyone actually read Craigslist's Terms Of Use? ContentWatch (Internet Filter) blocks it, because the language is so explicit. IIRC, the whole personals section is a violation of those terms.
Also, under the do-not-post-under-any-surcumstances section (7 - "CONDUCT"), we find anything:
i) that is false, deceptive, misleading, deceitful, misinformative, or
constitutes "bait and switch";
Sounds like this guy's in for a real surprise, especially if craigslist chooses to prosecute. I don't claim to know the full extent of the law, but I do know that they could nail him good for that one. That's what the Terms of Use are for.

Meet the new boss: same as (or even worse than) the old boss.
It's pretty easy to "blacken the skies" of a city that's only a mile wide. :)
I've seen the mistake made in a PCWorld article about JavaScript, with the Java logo in the background. It made me cringe, too...
(speaking of poor names...)
But she's such a GIMP!
The goatse guy is Satan?? That explains a lot... I'm sure he's flattered. :)

Except my RAM, CPU, and migraine, but since when do we care about any of those?

Re-packaged I could understand, but what's all this about recompiling? Java bytecode is still Java bytecode, no matter who compiles it.

All I can say is: Feed the trolls, tuppence a bag, Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.

After reading your account of this experience, my only thoughts were, "Holy shit dude, that's awesome."
Too bad you got ousted by that armored car service...

I think those are the exact machines ReactOS is targeting.
