Situation: I am proud subscriber of the services of a small, independent ISP (offering even UUCP and such*g*). I want to avoid them and any local network administrator whose network I might use away from home from seeing my www surfing habits. I have root access level control on a linux server.
How I deal with it: I run http://www.privoxy.org/ on that server. It listens in 127.0.0.1:8118 only. Privoxy is a cool "filtering proxy server" that I also use to rewrite webpages to my liking.
I then connect to that server with a ssh tunnel: ssh -L 8118:localhost:8118 user@remote.server.tld -t screen -RD The screen -RD opens my irssi etc. screen session. (The part "localhost" refers to the machine I use to surf, it is not the 127.0.0.1 from the privoxy configuration! See man ssh for details.)
Now all I need to do is to configure my browser to use localhost:8118 as proxy, and ssh forwards all traffic encrypted.:D
Result: Websites I surf to see the IP of my "root server", including a reverse resolving DNS entry and therefore my registration address. But neither my provider nor a local admin sees my www traffic. This is a situation I very much prefer over a a direct connection, although it requires a ssh session open all the time. But I am a screen-guy anyways!;)
Yes, and I'd love to see the primary key on the email adress dropped, too! I mean, if trolls want a 2nd account, they'll invite themselves on gmail. On the other hand, if several usernames could share an email addy, the admin of the page could easily identify his users with a tad of shizophrenia...

I am flabbergasted that a company worth billions actually allows both head honchos to travel in the same plane. This might kill both.
In the business world the "board members etc. travel apart"-rule is quite a common policy and it is for sure not a new aspect to Brin and Page. Which is even more un-understandable as it shows that they are acting against what their advisors must have told them.
I don't know about the english speaking part of the world, but in my country the phone is not part of the legally enforceable mean of contracting.
If they refuse to cancel by phone, write a letter and that's it. If in doubt, send it with registered mail. And yes, fellow Geeks, it doesn't even matter if you use a template in MS Word or KOMA-script with LaTeX!
I find the advice to---again---call the fraud dept. of the institution that handles payment for you potentially dangerous. If I had a contrct with AOL I'd sure know how to EOL that---the correct way.

I have about 150 pages of handwritten notes, from first SuSE install to Gentoo emerges. Sometimes nothing more than a.bash_history, but diagrams and charts are inclued, too.

We have had television network access for half a century now.
It has always been free (well at least some of it).
Imagine the music industry was
allowed to peek into your car to figure out if your navigation system offers certain features over pure navigation
allowed to walk into your garden and look into your windows to assess your electronic equipment
authorized to ask questions through the front door which you are to answer with the truth and nothing but the truth---although you are not obliged to open the door
and you get a feeling for what the "GEZ", the governmental agency for TV- and radio "licence" fees, is allowed to do in Germany...
Extending on the rules in the UK I believe in Ireland one can even sent to prison for not paying your TV licence.
From a religious perspective, compare with Roman Catholicism and protestantism. Roman Catholicism would be Windows (one pope called Bill Gates who dictates what is true and what isn't) and Linux would be the protestant denominations incompatible with each other. Some survive, some die... etc. Linux needs a "pope". Or a government council (like the W3C) which says which way apps will interact with each other, with the kernel, and with the hardware.
You mean we need a pope so that we can have icons? But these are rather an orthodox thing, aren't they?

What will be the next Ubuntu name then? Will they welcome their new industry-overlords? Could the next release sound like one of those:
Solar ScuttleMonkey?
Sunny Sonoran?
What was your suggestion to the spitzfindige ScrabblePlayers at Ubuntu HQ?
