I've recently gotten AT&T U-Verse, who, according to their privacy statement, will be monitoring my TV watching habits
I want media companies to know what shows I watch, because I want them to keep showing shows that I like to watch.
I like privacy, I think privacy is important, but fear that privacy advocates will take so many actions to make "good" media unprofitable, it will only push us toward a future with nothing but American Idol spin-offs.
What job, exactly, does a history major apply for, other than history teacher or museum curator?
I hear President of the United States is open this year. The current one is a history major. Unfortunatly, they've already lowered the resumes down to two.
I think it depends on what you hate more about spam, the amount of messages that clog your inbox, or the amount of bandwith taken up from downloading useless messages.
I agree that this chart doesn't visually represent the amount of spam as much as I would like, it would be simpler (and more informative) if it was broken up into two graphs: Total size over time, and number of messages over time.
Of course the author doesn't intend this to be any kind of serious study. I think he just wanted something that looks pretty.
One of my neighbors is a retired engineer. He already has an automatic lawnmowing system setup for his yard. He has a wooden pole in the center with a rope attached to the mower. He then starts the thing and walks away. As the rope wraps around the pole, the mower covers the lawn inward in a circle pattern.
Honestly, I have not paid much attention to the details. I think he may have a system in place to turn the thing off when it reaches the center, but if so I don't know how. I just notice the thing sometimes when I drive by. Of course, this system will hardly cover the entire yard, but I'm sure it gets the bulk of the job done.

Those aren't people. They are zombies. They just happen to have very similar profiles.
Death penalty. Probably a bit overkill, but likely effective.

Are you saying MS shouldn't be allowed to create programs for Windows? That doesn't make any sense.
How is creating an accessory for your product artificially restricting the marketplace.
It may make the difference between life and death.
Then I'm glad they decided to use this method instead of AskSlashdot.
Why doesn't anyone who supports the same candidate as that woman keep stealing her sign? Then she would keep donating to the cause they support.
Not a single mention of the dog's privacy rights.

For shame
Is it wrong to like him because he's evil?
And those electors are voted by space monkeys?

It seems a lot of people have about 6 invites they need to dump, including me...

Sounds like good advice to me. Does everyone else at /. spend all their money the instant it comes in?
