I do not care about the tracking itself, but I do care about the "search bubble" they create by trying to customize search results based on my past searches. Already I am getting better results at DDG for most technical, as well as non-technical queries, and I only get back to google (via awesome goosh.org) for image searches or quick translations.
Totally. And I hope this will become a standard practice in the ipv6 future. Alas, it will require a change of thinking among security people, so the resistance might be great.
Your anecdote against mine: I have several (5-6) friends who told me they're sick of FB and the constant uncontrolled spam there, and are abandoning their accounts in favour of G+. 2-3 of those friends are people who quite surprised me with this decision, as I considered them to be your average facebook fodder.
Or allow all of facebook's cookies only for duration of current session. Combined with a browser restart every now and then (or mere switch to and back from privacy mode in FF), it just gives them new meaningless data to choke on every time.
Alas, as long as drooling teenage boys (teenage either physically or mentally) keep on shelling out money for Latest Popular Generic Shooter 16 and Assassin's Cliche 8, this will never happen, because executives will be too busy rubbing the $100 notes on their flabby bodies.
Nobody forced you to use VATS. A friend of mine finished the game without ever using it (at least that's what he says, I didn't stand behind him all the time:) ).
"Oh no, there is a completely optional feature that I do not have use at all, but it completely ruins the game for me." - I don't get you people.
I routinely mod up AC comments which add to the discussion. It looks like people here forget that moderation is not about karma and accounts, but more about particular posts and their contribution to the discussion.
Exactly. Where do you think all those "please be send solution to my email asap, thanks you" posts, signed by a long, Indian sounding name come from on any programming forums? Those are from developers who work day and night on the software you will later buy and lovingly use.
No, you got it wrong. They arrived to NATO datacenters, and hacked away 1GB of data from their servers. With an axe! I'm just glad nobody was hurt. Axes are dangerous.
You missed the point. The incorrect part of that statement was the one about them being in risk because of depending on only a small fraction of their "users".

But but but... I thought I'm special and unique, like a snowflake?!
Don't worry - I suspect most people are smart enough to get the joke, and merely chuckled without feeling a compulsive need to reply. :)

Thank god there is olduse.net. All discussion, no binaries, no spam. :)
Actually, I'd like that. There is way too many of those damn noisy things out there anyway.

Getting ebooks from Amazon? That's crazy talk! Kindle is purely for reading ebooks obtained elsewhere.
Eh? What dial? You just crank up the phone and tell operator to connect you to the number you want.

Mod +1 regardless. You're modding posts, not people.
This explains the AI logic for creeper in Minecraft.
Wow, so many comments and no trolling from Dr. Chiropractor yet? Did he bust his spine or something?

Latency.
Oh java is being used quite extensively on big iron in enterprise sector. "IT" doesn't just mean "desktops and shiny smartphones".

At least that makes sense. My friend bought a plasma TV, and started getting offers for more plasma TVs.

Wait, wasn't it Brad? Or perhaps Burt?
That also means rivers polluted with cheap plastic and metal trash. Please don't do this.
