  1. Re:The power of privacy on Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist · · Score: 1

    California would like to have a word with you. A bill to outlaw police from doing this was vetoed.
    I find it unlikely that California would be the only state to allow this, but do not have any more information about other states.

  2. Re:Don't care for it, but... on The Next Firefox UI · · Score: 2

    Honest question: Beyond "that's not the way it always has been", what is the problem with tabs on top?.

    For those of us whose browse with many tabs open at once and frequently switch between them, tabs on top means a *lot* more mouse movement to accomplish this, which equals more time. Wasted time. It may not seem like much, but it is enough to be a noticeable delay, and adds up. Putting the tabs back where they belong solves this annoyance.

    This may not be a factor depending on your own personal browsing habits.

  3. Re:Centralized reporting on Why Public Email Needs a Police Force · · Score: 1

    spamcop.net does much the same thing, and offers several other services as well.

  4. Email newsletters are convenient on How Do You Keep Up With Science Developments? · · Score: 1

    Science news delivered periodically to your inbox. Some of them are customizable, so you can receive updates only on topics of interest to you.

    Highly recommended:
    American Scientist
    Physorg

    Also interesting:
    Spaceweather
    Nasa Science News
    Nasa Earth Observatory
    Discover Magazine

    I imagine there are RSS feeds for most of these as well if you prefer that format.

  5. Re:Webmail alternative? on Google Deleting Private Profiles · · Score: 1

    Try Lavabit. Their privacy policy appears pretty solid.

  6. Re:Boinc was a bad move, IMHO on Interview with SETI@home Director David Anderson · · Score: 1

    Boinc now allows you to login with your email and password, rather than the "ginormous string of characters" if you so desire, at least for the Seti@home project. Still, I agree that the new interface implementation leaves much to be desired.

  8. Hot Death Uno! on Fun Tabletop Games? · · Score: 1
    Surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

    Many moons ago while in college, I was the webmaster for the Hot Death Uno Homepage. It's probably lost forever since I don't think the Wayback Machine archived that long ago. Regardless, I'm almost positive there are still drunken college students playing this game, so Google it.

    For the price of two decks of Uno cards and a Sharpie, almost endless hilarous entertainment is available, especially if combined with appropriate quantities of alcohol. With cards like the Holy Defender and Harvester of Sorrows, how can you go wrong?

  9. Now the question becomes... on Automakers Working on Car-to-Car Ad-Hoc Networks · · Score: 2, Funny

    How do I hack the car-to-car network to install Seti@Home on all the cars that I pass while driving?
