"Since a domain registration contract is time bound, automatic exit is not guaranteed by law."
What contract? A TOS is not a contract, a contract is a document agreed between two parties, signed by both parties and witnessed at the same time, THAT is a contract.
If it's behind a firewall and the computer is single purpose then I don't see why the OS should matter as long as you can replace the hardware when it fails.
Copyright was intended for art when it was created. And the purpose of copyright is certainly not to allow someone to take revenge by means of humiliation.
If you are letting a partner take images of you then you are, without any further agreement, letting them do what they choose with that image.
What complete and utter stinking bullshit.
Within current law, the only reasonable way to solve that is to have a contractual agreement in place first that allows you to recoup civil damages from the other party if they use the image in a way that you don't expressly consent to.
You are raving mad.
"the reasonable way to solve that is to".. be a decent human being.
I have, Twice and it was for something stupid like an external drive, yes it counted a peripheral as part of the PC like duh. I tend to upgrade bits regularly but this sets the 'reauthorise' off.
What happens after April 8th - no more reauthorise?
I visited again and my fingerprint was unique again, but yes I do hate that websites get access to info that it is private, something I don't think Mozilla really cares about - they just make token gestures towards privacy.
I think the problem with the fingerprint is that it changes too much and so is not very useful, my guess is that advertisers do not rely on this kind of fingerprinting.
Having said that, I'd install a plugin to block the upload of the info in an instant, especially fonts.
Ten years, perhaps they'll be able to enable name/subject 'sort' soon.
All they've done is make the UI completely unintuitive, I haven't seen any useful changes over the last ten years, just adverts and the continuous nagging and coercion to use Google-plus.
While I'm most certainly not a climate change denier, I am an optimist and I hope the model's are wrong because otherwise we're right royally fucked.
It does look like we're about to come under the temperature rises predicted... but the recession could of been responsible for that, it looks like there is no end in sight for the burning of coal and now tar sand. Tar sands are going to be environmental destruction on a shocking scale.
Why is secretly recording phone calls worse than recording them without your consent?
When you phone your bank or just about any other corporation you get the typical "this phone call may be recorded for training etc purposes", good luck finding a bank/big industry that doesn't do that.
So corporations record everything.
But what if you are a whistle blower, what if you merely want evidence of wrong-doing. Now you can't have it, that's hardly fair is it? Or a journalist?
Make a law to prevent very personal private calls from being broadcast, fine, but don't criminalise all un-notified recordings.
And what about the police, are you going to bar them from making secret recordings, no? - that is double standards.
And if you make it illegal to record a phone conversation... Does that include someone writing down the conversation... during the conversation... or after the conversation? What someone happens to put you on speakerphone whilst someone else is shooting video... What if you were standing in front of a store video-camera and put the conversation on speakerphone - would that make the stores recording illegal!!!!!
"a coal tar-sealed parking lot next door could cause a child to face a 38-fold increase in lifetime cancer risk." (since lifetime cancer risk is already about 30%, this is clearly misquoted unless it relates to a rare cancer only)
Not 100% on-topic, but I think it's something everyone should know.
Note - I don't think she's a nutcase, I think she has been treated very badly and I hope she gets a sensible amount of compensation.
But at the same time, she wasn't being asked to hula hoop and she didn't say the woman didn't start hula-hooping of their own volition, some people like to be looked at, I don't think the men gawping is a big deal. I think by the time this happened she had gotten so sensitive to the harassment she had received that this was the final straw.
It's a red herring for the people who want to take a bash at Horvarth.
It may have been the straw that broke the camels back, but that's the point, she had been driven to the point where the straw became a back-breaker by the ill-treatment issue.
The whole point of the straw proverb is that it's not the straw that matters (red herring), it's the prior weight.

Can you prove to me that you have a consciousness?
No? So for practical purposes, I should assume you don't have a consciousness then.

I don't mind them having a little of my time. It's the earth and health-destroying, false dream selling greed worshiping evil bullshit that I hate.
Because you can't have advertising without tracking?
I don't mind adverts, I don't like being stalked by psychopathic corporations.
Billboards, TV, radio and newspaper ads don't track people (yet) but advertisers still use them.
Do these apps still work with ghostery and deleting cookies on exit? Why wait for the gov't to do something?
Doesn't stop web-bugs.
Ghostery is better, both is best, but with top-level domains allowed in no-script.
Eh? I've been recharging one of my devices nearly everyday for 18 months with a micro-b USB plug at not once did I think that it wasn't sturdy.

'We' being the majority of humans.
I just looked at the charts in the page you linked and it doesn't look like there's been any upwards trend since roughly 2000.
In fact I'd even say the trend over the last 14 years looks slightly downwards, but 10 years is most likely too small a time scale to be able to tell.
Personally I see no reason why we shouldn't rapidly work towards recycling everything and not using materials that poison us and life on this planet.

They have gone further than just putting a keyboard on the iphone, see pic:

They've copied the shape of the keys, the horizontal bars between the keys etc.
Well, if you are allergic to the portable document format then you could read the html google cache of the document:

As for acrobat, well, Adobe don't call it that anymore and you don't have to use their bloated reader, I use expertPDF and SumatraPDF.
And if you think longer paper = worse paper then this is for you:

Why not, the justice system and society certainly do, going by the numbers.

Funny that you should say that, see article:
