I've tried this under Linux(Mozilla & Firefox) and Windows(Mozilla & IE), and other than the "select city" dropdown, I've yet to see it do anything. I'm interested in the idea, but I don't see this as anything but a broken website. What am I missing?
It's the stuff in my head. Two weeks ago, I went to the mens room at the movie theater, and the Muzak got a disco-era BeeGees song stuck in my head for four days.
I see you have one of those web sites with the dark brown backgrounds with off-white, off-off-white, salmon and off-salmon text in little bitty fonts. Trying to read it makes me squint and my head hurt.
Yup. The "From the 'Activate-the-constitutional-rootkit' Dept." is about the only thing the editor left unchanged from my original submission, but I gotta say (in total drooling slack-jawed amazement) he did a nice job editing it!
And this from a guy whose installed every HP-UX since 6, multiple IRIXs and XENIXs, RedHats, Mandrake^H^H^Hivas. I don't for a minute subscribe to the "makes a man of ya" or even funnier, "learn Linux" crap. What I love it for, plain and simple, is Portage. I get a versionless, always close-up-to-date system, and I don't spend all my time on patch management. The crazy dependancies of RPM and HPs patches are just ugly memories.
...downloads the image18.com file (disguised as a jpeg). Running the file...
User clicks on.JPG file. Operating system (no names, please) looks at file, says "Oh, that's really an.EXE file, I'll just execute it without asking...".
Sounds perfectly sane to me.
OK, I tease, and you come up with a cute ("systematically sterilized"/"no danger of imagining") answer.
Seriously. I live in a state (Illinois) where you have those radio transponder thingies for the toll roads. I can use them, and ponder that the owners (the state) of the system are tracking which (and when) gates I go through, or I can wait longer in the cash-only lines (ignoring the fact that they've got cameras on my license plates anyways), or I can imagine that "they" have "satellites" tracking my every movement; or I can stay off the toll roads altogether. The choice is mine.
You can have total anonymity or marginal functionality. Since HTML alone offers almost nothing in the way of functionality (beyond rendering) you need something more (JavaScript, Java, Flash, ActiveX (arguably in ascending order of dangerousness)) to provide even rudimentary functionality. If I'm really so tinfoil-hat that I'm worried about my browser cache betraying what I'm up to, I probably need some medication and/or an air-gap between me and the Internet(s).

They want their headline back
I read the headline and thought DUH! "Proposal to ___________ Debian Sparks Debate"
Now maybe we'll finally get to see "Jews in Outer Space".
You're being a smartass, but I wouldn't mind plugging this into FlightGear
Greenery - Marijuana (legal and sold (in different grades, like at a tobacconist) in shops in Amsterdam)
That's how we Americans do geography. We know where Hawaii is, and we know that Canada is (vaguely) north of us, and France is somewhere in Asia.
Yes, of their Type 1a that is.
Assuming that you, too, are on land, you'll find his joke directly overhead.

What was that about eye-candy?

Mmmmmm. Dog pod grid...
Many, many companies block AIM at the firewall. Ask at your next interview.

I didn't say you were paranoid, you must have imagined that.

That might even be viable, if so many people wern't already pre-boycotting PS3.

Why don't they just use a MALP?
You had boxes?
