I was expecting someone to post a link to the bible and say the same thing. I guess the religious really don't have a sense of humour.
(I realise this is not correct - many of the religious people I know do have a sense of humour, otherwise they'd have crucified me long ago.)
The reason I'm relplying is that "Certainly, they can't both be right" reminded me of:
I go down to speakers corner I'm thunderstruck
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
Dire Straights - "Industrial Disease"
I tried it out for a while, I saved no time with it with several minutes of loading. (Not really sure how any of this would be measured.) I'm not sure if prefetching helped at all. Given my browsing patterns, I would doubt it - I tend to load up a set of tabs, then go through them and load pages in the background, if I want to see other information.
Most of the sites I visited were primarily text, and I was anticipating a good savings through compression. There did not seem to be any used, though I did not try to snoop the traffic between the local Google proxy and the main proxy server.
Seeing that I was using a remote proxy, several of the sites which give me special access based on my source address did not grant me that access. (Yeah, I could turn it off for those sites, but that seems like work.)
From my short test, I can't see any advantage for me to continue using this. (Of course if I had a nasty firewall censorship policy to bypass, I might change my mind. Or I might pick a different remote proxy.)
When I first saw this, I was reminded of other "web accelerators" which were basically spyware.
Your performance may vary, but I'll just continue with only Proxomitron between me and the web.
Unfortunately they picked a lousy day. The Saturday before Mother's day! Egads, you have to try to find a card, god help you trying to make a phone call. Dude, it's not like you don't have time.
Reasons why time travel won't be publicised (Or isn't now)

Son/daughter, now that you've grown up and become a time traveller, you're too good to come and visit your own mother on mother's day. Where did I go wrong and how do I go back to fix that?... Well I could go back and ground you more often - that would teach you some respect for your mother.
Not completely, but the section about
"a type of crystal used in cell phones to filter signals"
is not accurate. This would be an application of piezoelectric materials. Check the wiki page.
Norton Internet Security prevents my personal SS# from being transmitted even if someone else is using my computer and tries to send it.
So I can discover your SS# after breaking into your machine by simply sending each probable number from your computer to somewhere else? Those that don't make the journey are even more probably yours. Intriguing.
That was my thought as well. I thought the blurb's innuendo was a provactive idea - why not cost your competitors some extra bucks? Especially when you might get the money. (This overlooks the ethics of such a task of course, but if you're going to defraud anyway, why not go big?)
Interestingly, there's nothing in the DoubleClick report about click fraud.

I think you missed the zoom feature, the voice command tool, email/USEnet interface, the full screen / presentation mode, enhanced navigation (uses "LINK REL" information), and a few other things. But who's counting?;-)

I'm fairly certain that she's not going across the pond to conferences.
There appear to be missing factors, otherwise biologists would not be able to get funding for research in evolutionary science. Darwin did know this.

Um, is this not another, albeit somewhat disguised, advertisement? (And having said that, another advertisement for the upcoming StarWars movie?)
If you're hungry, an Apple could be involved.

I thought that the Rover was stuck on Dune.
Apple could call it "Pussy" or something like and try to sell that with tape over the "T*g*r" labels.
Any bets as to when this will be re-duped?
Extract says Conforming to Nature's copyright policy, we will wait until 2005 Oct 28 before posting the final preprint version on this site..
Might as well wait for tomorrow's dupe.

Ah. I don't think I've ever had a VIRGIN installation of MS IE. They've all been f****d right at installation.
Yeah - I see a non-specific ad for EBay Canada.
The number of the port molested isn't really a good ordinate.
NOTE: You should get this anyway, if you're using SVG at all. (Well, I guess you weren't, but in case you want to start ;-)
Mine too - FF handed the SVG off to Opera ;-)
I think I need a new Amaya ... 9.0 didn't handle this show.
The swim thing is a cute idea though. Literally true, and he gets his hot chocolate at Mummy's.
Move on, no spoilers here. Get Opera yourself and see what the whole deal is about.
Can I have your old one? It's gotta be better than mine.

Really? It was in VMS when they stole, unh, borrowed from it for NT. (Called "SET FILE /ENTRY", or something equivalently long and simple, I think.)
If not, at least you can say "I tried Opera, but FF roolz dood."
Programmer overboard!
Did you see the first season of TNG?!? It sucked pretty hard, mostly because they were trying to reshoot TOS.
