Yeah, that one's been around a while. Only real way to mitigate it is JS (jquery has a nice $(window).resize() function - though it doesn't seem to work in some version of Safari).
Mod up please. Natural people (human beings) are not 'people' in the legal sense. Legally, a 'person' is an entity that can have rights and responsibilities ascribed to it (as far as I understand, imagine the slave trade, slaves weren't 'people' - they had no rights - though I may be wrong).
Also, a human being cannot do business with legal fiction (a coporation) so your 'Person' (a legal entity created upon certification of birth) is there for that reason. A strawman used to enter into the commercial world.
Everything's a company of some description; countries, states, ministries, councils. The entire subject is a pretty eye-opening rabbit hole.
Or, you could add the known Google advertising URLs to your hosts file, with the added benefit of adwords javascript not loading at all.
Personally I do this as well as block cookies from the google.com domains.
Do you see the pattern there? 4 or 8 year terms. One comes in, does some bad stuff, gets removed. The successor is the popular choice (and B.O. was a popular choice in a mass-hysteria kind of way). No government is going to reduce their own power.
I don't think it really matters who comes in - as some say, they (reds and blues) are just two arms of the same body.
Oh, I know. The world is a corporation and the corporation is everywhere:)
I suppose I'd move to somewhere much less alarmist and less abusive of the system. Somewhere on the continent - Turkey, perhaps. I don't know. All I know is that the way this country is going just downright scares me.
Well, this is just it. By law, a 'person' is an entity to which rights and responsibilities are ascribed. For example, being a person allows you to engage in commerce with other 'persons' such as corporations etc.
A cartoon is not a person, and cannot possibly be so, in the eyes of the law. I cannot even begin to fathom how this has happened. I'm at a total loss for words. There are more plot holes than in The Matrix. Surely there must be some kind of investigation into this nonsense?
Or, you could serve Googlebot different content to that which you serve other agents (cloaking: blackhat SEO 101).

I think, more to the point, your average user doesn't really understand quite what a corporation (of any size) can do, nowadays with that data.
Information in this new digital world is a far cry from disclosing your information to marketing surveys that would simply end up with your address on multiple mailing lists. Now it can tie up what do actually do online and off, where you do it and who you do it with, and that's probably the tip of the iceberg.
My opinion is that if governments had this kind of insight, would you trust them not to abuse it? Would you trust a profit-driven company more, or less?

I believe I read that theory in one of Paul Davies' books - I'll have to go dig 'em out now :)
Thanks to the EU and its various treaties, the word 'queen' doesn't mean anything anymore. She may still be referred to as such, but she is now a citizen just like the rest of us: http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2008/06/royal-assent-of-treaty-of-lisbon.html
Those who want corruption make sure that government departments have corrupt leaders.

True. So really the size should be compared to other web servers, not other browsers.
For Windows versions, the current 'release' version of Opera (9.64) is 5.4MB. The beta (10.00b1) is 6.6MB. Firefox 3.0.11 is 7MB.

I uploaded a 1x1 pixel black image. It scored 24.6. I then uploaded a 1x1 pixel white image, which scored 41.7.

Looks your rating is accurate
+1 insightful.
Concise and spot on.
Is this to the tune of 'O Caaaanada'?
Indeed; the 'Great British Apethy'. I'm not far behind you..!
If they're doing what? I'm not sure I follow...
Well, to be fair, your Treo was just an example you gave. Do you use Firefox, NoScript and Cookiesafe on your Treo?

I honestly see this as less of a reaction, and more of an excuse to control the Internet in the country.
Next chance I get, I'm off.
It's all about perceived and purported stereotypes:
Politics: boring!
Cinema: Fun!
Law: incomprehensible!
Soap operas: addictive!
Economics: complicated!
Reality TV: Best thing ever!
I reckon 'they' are quite happy with these stereotypes. It lets them run the world while the majority sit and absorb rubbish.

Some references would be nice.

The launch of a spacecraft for the JDEM mission is not planned before 2015.
I have to wonder if this launch has any input from the Department of Redundancy Department.
