Sure page load time is important, but is the difference enough to influence your choice of browser? Graig list has a difference of 40 milliseconds. Not something a user would notice or be bothered with. Facebook has a difference of 300 milliseconds.
When adding up all the numbers of the pages speed test, the time difference between 1st and second is 181.8 microseconds. Between second and third it is 386.6 and then 11.4 (Then a wopping 1054.4) So the difference of all thosw pages between first and fourth is just above half a second with a total load time of 4.5 to 5 seconds.
And if you look at the load times for Tom Hardware Website itself, you start to notice that not the browsers are the real issue, but the websites. If you are so interested in browser speed, repair you site.
I wish the standard would be opt-in and not opt-out. Sure that would mean that many sites won't be found by google and others, but if they want to be found, they could just add the robots.txt
Releasing the interface to read the black boxes contents (in read only mode) would be a good start.
In the current situation people can not randomly ask for your data. You will need a court order. If there was an accident AND there is a dispute, then a court order can ask for your data.
In the situation where you open it for all, you will get sooner or later in a situation where the insurance company demands for your data and decides not to pay for your cardiac bypass as you stopped at McDs too often to their liking.
I'm not entirely clear on how not having access to one of the computers in a piece of my property, or even knowing exactly what it does, protects my privacy...
For one your insurance company can't just say at random dates: Give me the data. The police can not do that. Nobody can do that UNLESSS there is a cour order. It is the same as with your browsing habbits, your phonenumbers you called, the books you take out of the library and the money you spend with your credit card.
And the fact that there are illigal ways around it does not make it OK to just drop the protection of your privacy.
For further information, look up any discussion about "If you have nothing to hide, please show everything to us."
I am more concerned however that "The Man" has apparently indoctrinated you so much that you think random access to yor data isn't a violation of your privacy. (Unless you ARE "The Man" and try to indoctrinate us.)
I do not like the Microsoft UI. I absolutely hate the Apple UI. Luckily on Linux I can select what I want and easily adapt it to my needs. I started with Enlightenment!, then went to Windowmaker and now am using XFCE. However I am probably not the standard user. The first thing I do is disable icons on my desktop. I detest all the 3d stuff and rounded themes.
So first I select the UI I want and then I select the colour I like.
And on my Windows machine the first do is go back to the 'old' layout.
I don't like Windows. I don't like GNOME. I don't like KDE. I use XFCE (with openSUSE)
So I am also not complaining about the colour. The colour can be easily changed. And I am also not complaining about the desktop. I just change that to what I want as well. Since Win95 thye first thing I did was change the colour. Then when I started with Linux, I selected the desktop I wanted. First Enlightenment! then Windowmaker and now XFCE.
It would be great if Google did it because of tehir good nature. The real reason is that they make money by not having any censorship. It is more "Boohoo, we can't do business like we want to, please change it."
It would be even worse if the US governement would listen and start doing it. Because that would be even more proof that companies is what they listen to and not the multitude of people who already asked then to do something about it.
I seriously can't think of a good reason why anyone would want to actually damage a hard drive that way
Speed and encryption. If you order all the zeros and all the ones, you could much easier do encryption of the HD. Probably he has some system that knows what zero and what one goes where.
The perpetrators took orders from ticket brokers, who were required to provide credit card numbers and account holder names in advance of a purchase so they could be programmed into the bot. Once the account holders received the tickets, they'd send them to Wiseguy, which would refund their credit card account. Wiseguy also had a bank of about 1,000 phone numbers that the bot submitted as customer contact numbers.
So the tickets were payed. That is not the issue. Wether reselling should be allowed or not is another matter. What I am worried about is that they abused the credit card numbers of other people.
They lie because you ask the wrong questions. Do not ask if they see something. Ask WHAT they see. Another reason for lying is that they have been trained that aswering "I do not know" is wrong.
I rather have somebody saying "I do not know." then somebody saying "I know". With the first I know I can go in babysteps and they will listen and do as I say. e.g. What do you see in the lower left of your screen "Uh, start" OK, click on that, what do you see now? Please read out everthing. The moment they are at Programs: Please click on programs, what do you see now, please read everything. At the end: Is that all or are there some signs below that? OK, click on that double arrow, what do you see now?
Might look slower then saying:Please go to Start, Programs,... But in the end it will save you time.
Once I was asked if I thought they were stupid. The answer (al lie) was that _I_ was stupid and wanted to be sure I did not make a mistake.
but you can't make it to drink. So the best way would be to take over their PC. As long as there is no connection issue, then this is much faster and will save you a lot of time. If you use pc Anywhere or http://showmypc.com/ or anything else will depend on your needs.
ShowMyPc has helped me a lot already. For occasional usage it is free. I you want your own server andadvertising, prices are available as well and not that expensive.
I have had the "filtering out" as well when I tried to explain somebody where to enter the internal domain name. They kept using google and obviously did not get to the screen. So I went to a screen that I knew they were able to see and ask what they saw. I noticed that they skipped information and asked them if they saw X. The answer was "Yes".
Even when i told the person that I needed each and every detail they saw, they kept filtering out importand stuff.
Again, this was just WHERE they needed to put the URL so they could go to the correct page. i tried explaining it with: What do you see on top in the blue bar? The answer was "Nothing". Do you see the blue E with "Shlashdot Comments" (as I see now)? "Yes" What is written next to it? They gave the correct answer. What is right below it? "Nothing". Do you see a field that says "http://...."? "Yes" What does that field say? "Nothing".
Took me about an hour to get it explained where they needed to type "http://intranet". My guess is that some people rather give no information then give the wrong information.
Well, at least the rest of the year. Look at the positive side. As it is banned only one week, it means that it is allowed 51 weeks. This would mean that if they allow things to be bleeped out on TV, your rights are violated.
So in order to not have cursing on tv, they better not do this and allow swearing all year around, so they can keep blocking it.
Should be easy. Commercial means you make money from it. e.g. if you sell it. Non-commercial scale is if you don't make money from it. e.g. if you download it for your own usage.
I disagree. People lie, cheat and are douchebags has nothing to do with anonymity but with being a lier, cheater and a douchebag. Taking away would not be people who are douchebags, be less of a douchebag. The difference is that before we never knew how many douchebags there actually are.
Probably, but then part of the rise in power came through the hatred. So if Hitled would not have disliked the Jews so much, he might not have been elected and there would have been no war and thus no need for an atomic bomb. OTOH it could have well been that I would now be speaking German if they would not have fled. (Hey, wait. I DO speak German as well as English, French, Dutch and some Spanish.)

Now what would slow down my browsing experience more? The browser or the 10+ pages the article is spread over?
Watch out for the following: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

There are plenty of color schemes you can download. http://gnome-look.org/ http://www.kde-look.org/
but the most popular linux distro seriously looks like its "Made for losers".
Hey, that might be the reason it is so popular.
(Laugh, it's a joke.)

Now my head hurts. I am confused.
In Europa "Privacy" means much more then just "Things done on a private property".
Should be easy. Commercial means you make money from it. e.g. if you sell it. Non-commercial scale is if you don't make money from it. e.g. if you download it for your own usage.

If you remember the 60s or 70s you weren't really there.
