Yes, but the GET request is encrypted before it is even put on the wire (that is, before it leaves your computer), and it is only decrypted at the other end, once it reaches Google. Anyone in between would see only an encrypted datastream.
It depends on the point of the assignment. If you're at your job, and you just need to get something working quickly, then you're not "cheating" by using a library or re-using someone else's code. But when you're in school, the point is to learn the material by solving the problem yourself. So if you just use someone else's solution, you're perverting the intent of the assignment, and that counts as cheating.
What's that? You mean a story that seemed to require all involved to be complete morons was revealed to be incorrect? You mean there was more to the story, which revealed that what really transpired was actually sort of reasonable? Shocking! Surely this is the first time this has ever happened.
Ref tagging of that nature is not designed to track what page someone is coming from (which is what the HTTP referrer header gives you), but rather to track where users are clicking on the page. Did they go to their home page by clicking on the logo, or by clicking somewhere else? This can be useful usability data.
If you install a piece of software, you click through an agreement. You are party to a contract(-ish thing, to get technical).
Here's my question. Most EULAs include a clause to the effect of "by clicking Agree, you agree to the terms of this license". Suppose I choose not to agree with that clause? Suppose I say to myself, "By clicking Agree, I agree to nothing in particular". Can the software's copyright holder do anything, legally, to prevent my use of the software? It seems to me that they cannot, although I am not well-versed in the intricacies of contract law.
The only reason race keeps coming up as an issue in the US is because PEOPLE KEEP BRINGING IT UP. I don't care what percentage of whites play games vs. what percentage of blacks, and quite frankly I don't care what the distribution is among developers. Why should it matter anyway? I am white, and I play games that are designed and programmed primarily by Asians. So fucking what?
This teacup concept is of course a mere flight of fancy, and it's certainly interesting. But I wonder about these kinds of efforts to make PCs more "simple". Computers just aren't simple devices, and consequently, most attempts to make them easy to use are doomed to failure. Take, for example, the "pouring data" idea. It seems that it can only work with other "teacup" PCs. So if you want to share data with a PC in a more ordinary form factor, you will need some other way of connecting the teacup to it, e.g. a USB cable. Suddenly this "simple" PC isn't so simple any more, because now there are two totally different ways of working with it.
I'm not saying computers should be difficult or arduous to use, but they do require expertise. And if you try to gloss over that fact, you will wind up either with frustrated users who find that their computer is not as simple as they were led to believe, or with a device that isn't capable of doing very much.

How else can they do it? Via email? They'd just send it to the email address they provide you with. Who really uses isp-provided email these days? it's all webmail, so they need some window to get through to you, and maybe http is that window.
Or maybe, just maybe, they could ask you for your regular email when you sign up. This is not rocket science. There is no excuse for an ISP to be arbitrarily modifying the content of a subscriber's traffic.
If you live in a reasonably big city (e.g. Seattle), there's probably a decent local scene with a wide variety of music. Just start going out to local music clubs and listen to the bands. Look through local weekly papers to find listings. When you find one you like, go to as many of their shows as you can. The opening bands (or the band your pick is opening for) will probably be of a similar genre. Then you can go to all of THAT band's shows, and see who opens for THEM, etc...
I've been doing this in Seattle for the past few years and I have found a ton of great local stuff. You can usually buy the CD right there, direct from the artist, and you can often talk with them about their music as well.

If RealDVD is a piracy tool, then so is iTunes (or anything else that allows you to rip CDs).
Actually, I believe it is from a Fark photoshop contest. Sorry, no link handy...
I use aalib, you insensitive clod!

This story is tagged "wtfishyperv", which I first read not as "wtf is hyper v", but "wt fishy perv"...soo confused.

Don't worry, you'll get better with practice.

Since when is your party affiliation listed on your driver's license? Mine certainly isn't.
