Somebody suggested TOR, and while it is good for surfing somewhat anonymously, there is a better solution called I2P. Though still in beta mode, it provides an amazing level of security that you can use to not only browse the web, but also to host your own website anonymously and also have free anonymous email. I will warn you right now that it is very slow, but if your need for privacy is as necessary as you make it seem than it's perfect for you. Cheers.
Aviators everywhere depend on NOAA for weather all the time and AOPA will never let this bill get passed. AOPA has a long history of protecting the citizens from stupid laws like this so I'm not worried at all.
The Linux Cookbook is command-line based so some familiarity with a Linux system, the inherent power of using the command-line and the
dangers of using root are necessary.
Hopefully this guy doesn't get a copy of the book!
Proxy services labeled as tax evasion tools, branded unconstitutional, and shutdown. Serverless proxies like Tor and I2P take off, become new targets from the government alongside of BitTorrent, Kazaa, etc.
While this is a great idea for you the consumer, it will never, ever happen. Cable companies make enormous amounts of money from the channels fille with crap like the shop at home netword and other such garbage. Few people will ever select these stations if given a choice and the companies will stop paying the cable company so much money to broadcast their show if they even stick around.
Actually sir, you are incorrect, the airlines are completely private companies since the Airline Deregulation Act went into effect in 1978. However, the airlines are still bound by federal laws found in Article 14: Part 121, but more in the sense that transport companies using semis are bound to what they can carry, how many hours the drivers must sleep, etc.
The FreeFi Toolbar provides a persistent presence on the user's desktop only while logged into an affliated public hotspot and is entirely removed when they log out. IT USES NO ADWARE OR SPYWARE. The Toolbar displays useful content including local directory services, downloadable games, premium media content and display advertising.
I'm wondering how the adbar is displayed on your computer. It sounds to me like the user does not have to install anything on their computer, but I highly doubt that. If nothing really is required to be installed on the users computer, firefox will take care of that real quick, both adblock and the ability to modify the base CSS style will quickly solve that problem. However, if the user is forced to install "non adware and/or spyware" to use their service, Privoxy I would think should be able to disable it. Either way I wouldn't mind seeing this spring up around the country.
Have you ever tried to talk an average user through an install process for anything? Yes you are correct, they are all very good at installing stuff that requires no user input, or user want for that matter, but when it comes time to do something useful... they muck it up. Even if we could get them to install it correctly, almost all of them wouldn't because people today use stuff with the thought process of, "if it doesn't work right away I don't need to use it," and they'll just move along to a different site that doesn't conform to standards. I can't honestly see a company willing to risk these chances of having their customers leave because we all know that they're too impatient to download something that will take over 5 seconds max. Even if all these obstacles could be overcome, it's foolish to think Microsoft will ever actually conform to the chosen forms... they can't even do CSS or XHTML properly and that's been out and accepted for how long?
"The XForms group tried to do the right thing, but as a result they dropped backwards compatibility"... "And I think that's very unfortunate, because trying to replace a few hundred million browsers is a rather hard thing to do, and I don't think XForms is 10 times better."
Seams comparable to gas stations "revolutionizing" the way fuel is pumped into cars with a new fuel nozzle. The only catch, it doesn't work with any of the gas tanks installed in cars today, nor are there any cars planned to support the system in the near future. "...however we believe our system is so much better that the world should conform to us."
Now while I am one who loves standardization, the idea that you can impose standards that render all known browsers obsolete is ridiculous. Most people can't figure out how to update their computer with security patches much less download a whole new browsergasp... it'll never happen. The industry will not just leave 90% of their customers out in the cold because they cannot support the new forms. On another note, I am glad to see that some people are not affraid to stick up for the average person and challenge the W3C's authority.
Pilots like myself are beginning to rely heavily on GPS and if somebody cuts the power all of a sudden without anybody being forewarned, a lot of people would suddenly find themselves in the clouds with their navigation blanked out. Granted GPS is not officially "sanctioned" as you cannot use it for the sole means of navigation, yet, but most people are lazy and don't tune in backup navigational aids en route. I guess the worse thing that would happen is that they would be either calling frantically on the airways to Air Traffic Control or would just have to shoot the approach again.
P.S. Shooting the approach basically just means having to align yourself with the proper navigational equipment to come in for landing.
I agree, while it was mildy amusing, why was it posted on here when it was so short? When it was done I kept searching the page for a "page 2" or "next page" link, well I didn't find any.
Weren't these the guys that made that documentary about proffesional gaming (http://www.legaltorrents.com/index.php?fuse=29). No wonder they can afford to give out such an outrageous sum of money just to find a few new players to join their clan. Whatever happened to hosting some scrim matches over a few weeks and picking the best that played to save yourself A Million Dollars!

I love cookie culler, as I can still allow all sites to use cookies, but only the ones I want are saved session to session.

What this thing really needs is face recognition software so that only people who are authorized can enter safely.
