No Kidding... I still think having a 'slash-cache' that would cache at least the first level of every page linked from the main article would be a good idea.
Maybe the wonderful coders at OSDN should make a 'SlashCache' (static page) of a page that is mentioned on the front of an article instead of relying on the article submitter to link to a google cache. It would be automatic of course. And the static page would revert back to a direct link after volume drops.
Yea yea... websphere is cool and all, but you gotta try the latest preview release of Domino from notes.net (i mean lotus developer domain #-> whatever...
I've noticed that many privacy issues completely ignore the evils of directed marketing. I feel as though some ads drain my soul by desperately trying to grab my consumer dollars... Marketing and advertizing become a Privacy issue when they "taylor" their ads to meet my specific needs. (Instead of tayloring the service or product like they should do in the first place) This way, a marketing company can bend or try to squeeze in a product that would not otherwise fit what I want- so i wouldn't probably buy it. This doesn't apply to the more classic forms of promotions... it's these slimy "hey you... great deal" - "rebate"... promotions that I feel invates my privacy... and is plane disrespectful. (Almost as low as phone marketing - you know, those ones that call right during dinner, or just as your leaving for work...) Of course it is a double edged sword (as some entertaining ads I look forward to) - and it does support "psuto-free" entertainment. The biggest issue I have is with the ability for "customized" web sites to sell (and make loads of money) off my internet behavior. (Alladventage at lease tries to pay me for it) I really HATE all those SPAM-like messages that try to entice "get rich quick" schemes that I'm sure many people fall for.
If there was some "tool" that could filter out unwanted marketing techniques (even if it "compensated" the commecial dependant medias for the lack of advertising some how)
- I believe that that as marketing techniques become more advanced... us "privacy" finatics (what are we hiding anyway) are going to be paying alot more attention to who finds their way into our pocketbook through "targeted" marketing, and less attention to those peeping through our email or computer files.
In an ideal world, Privacy should be maintained by the privatee, not the "higher power"

IBM made Nintendo's GameCube chip also... seems like IBM is a bigger player in the console business than Intel (XBox)...

Good point. N/G should define a new 'shared' protocol...
