Most people that clear history and caches are doing so to prevent snooping done using the location bar and history toolbars (or analogues) of their browser. You don't want your boss/family to see exactly which non-work-related/porn site you were viewing. While tracking a user may be good for data mining purposes, it's not necessarily a horrible thing for day to day use. I don't like the thought that just about anybody knows my browsing habits, but I don't find it invasive unless those tracking me are going to confront me about it. Let data miners collect their statistics; most folks' machines will not clear their history or cookies or cache. My irregular or perverse browsing habits are but a drop in the statistical pond.
I think it's worth noting, though certainly not a cause-and-effect situation, that lilo may have been riding without a helmet. As a cyclist I have known a few people who have hit their heads hard in bike-car crashes with and without helmets and have been seriously injured or killed. He was a kind, helpful guy on IRC. I hope that when a memorial fund of some sort is made that any donations will be split fairly between FOSS and bicycle safety causes.
It appears they may some day make a fuel that's roughly equivalent to gasoline.
It's called food. "They" are nature rather than science in the case of food. The human body is very good at turning food into useful energy. While I'm all for new, less environmentally destructive fuels, I am also a commuter who rides a bicycle daily. My coworkers burn a gallon or so of gas to get to and from work in stop-and-go traffic slightly faster than my average speed. With the downside of getting sweaty or rained on aside, I am more efficient on a 50 cent grapefruit and a cup of cheapy-cheapy coffee than they are on a $3 gallon of gas.
a joke going right over your head. How can you take seriously an article supposedly on copy protection when it's about the designer of mockeries of real games? The site is a (good) joke, but no comments should be posted with serious thoughts on the ins and outs of copy protection. Enjoy the funny and propose something more interesting than the scratch-n-sniff dongle. The Fast and the Furriest: Drunken Swerve with a breathalysing dongle could prevent copying and unlock new swerve powers and furries for each increase of 0.01% alcohol by volume. Drink up!
1.3 million cars per year? I don't drive anything powered and need some units I can understand. How many grapefruit-fed bicyclists per fortnight is 1.3 million cars per year?
It is one thing to be for cheap/free alternatives, but to be against something strictly because its goal is to control as much market share as possible is quite different. It is everybody's goal to be #1; Microsoft just happens to hold the place due to good timing, marketing, and a long time without viable alternatives. Encouraging free software is certainly a noble thing, but rejecting one specific brand commercial software outright is akin to mudslinging.
Just because your friend's parents gave him a brand new sports car when he earned his driver's license and you saved up $200 for a used pile of sluggish rust doesn't mean you should hold it against said friend.
Apple is trying to give you the function it deems useful along with the form for which it is known. If you want a gaming machine, Alienware is supposed to have some decent models. If you want a workstation with really powerful 3-D graphics you might need to get a desktop. There are powerful notebooks available, but I'm not sure Apple is aiming so much for powerful as practical; if you look at Apple's customer base, you'll see quite a lot more folks who care about battery life than 3-D performance.
Minijacks would fail for this purpose. Using a headphone-level source to drive a car stereo always has and always will sound bad. Unless your audio player does line-level output around 3000 mV, you're gonna have some nasty distortion by the time you've amplified the signal. Until most portable audio players themselves have coaxial or optical digital output, both of which are well-defined standard interfaces, USB or firewire would be a much smarter interface. I was under the impression that the reason to carry around mp3/flac/digital audio players was to have superior quality to tape dubs.
The iTunes "soundsystem" isn't really that good. Those little white earbud that everybody gets included in the set are shitty. Try: s/have a good soundsystem/have a soundsystem with a lot of exposed white wire which will sound like shit but make you noticeable/
I'd say I made that mistake by being a huge fan of a terrible band's friendly members, one of whom made their website. Do NWRA do alternative energy work? I'm just about done with college and am doing fuel cell micromembrane research to make myself more appealing to such groups when I go job hunting.
Rubbing in then buffing out vaseline does a great job. Plain petroleum jelly based chap-stick does well also, and for a bonus you can used flavored chap-stick to leave your discs smelling funky.

Reading is critical. The people who act as if women aren't online likely do not se women in the real world or they'd know better than to behave like idiots. It's not about playing a certain game or using IRC. Socially retarded people are generally just as socially retarded in the real world as they are online. I do not doubt the fact that people may act as you described. The internet is a big and dangerous place, and grown women should be able to deal with that. Making linux appeal to little girls is a lost cause unless it comes bundled with the N*Sync (or whoever the latest boy band may be) party pack.
Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky may or may not have had a fancy computerized search system, but association of loaded keywords was a major topic in Manufacturing Consent (ISBN 0375714499) where the influences of commercial interests on the media and government was analyzed using the New York Times. The great improvement in the rate at which text can be analyzed should make for an excellent third edition.
I believe you can cut the "online" from your statement. Nobody acts like that in the real world after having dealt with any one woman who thinks everything racy you say is harrassment.
If you buy a business-oriented motherboard from Intel, there is generally an option for a board with TPM. My 915GEVLK has the integrated video and audio and gigabit LAN I wanted, along with TPM which I can disable in BIOS. So long as it's not drastically raising the price of the board, there's nothing wrong with letting the end user have an extra chip or two that he can choose to use or not.
Queue up the "The More You Know" sound from TV. Thanks for filling me in on that. I'll try to bogus-ify my MAC then snoop on my neighbors and figure out if I can get by like that; they'd probably like to know if it can be done.
Peace
That jet scooter looks cool.? I don't quite understand what that guy was doing with his punctuation.? The information on the main page regarding the street legal VW New Beetle with a jet engine was pretty cool.?
You don't have to make hydrogen through electrolysis. Hydrogen can be produced far more efficiently from hydrocarbon fuels such as ethanol. I'm doing work on membranes to separate the produced hydrogen from the waste gases so it can be pure for use in the fuel cell. Hydrogen in tanks tends to be produced using the same gas-phase reactions as those involved in my work on a much larger scale.
If my MAC can be found by snooping on the transmissions between my router and PC then a MAC filter may be a poor solution. How many mooching neighbors run free *nix operating systems and are too cheap to buy broadband as well? I'm curious rather than claiming to be an expert; my neighbors use a MAC filter without encryption and allow anyone who sends them their address access.
Use a MAC filter. Encryption takes a little time and also slows down transfer rates a little bit. If you filter MAC addresses then you'll have only the computers you want on your network allowed but still be able to transfer at unhindered datarates. Somebody may still be able to snoop a little bit, but they'll not be able to freeload.
