I always thought you had to put your wireless NIC in monitor mode to do this, a la airodump/wireshark etc...
If the addon can do this for any wireless enabled computer capable of running firefox then I'm impressed (especially on Windows), it usually requires specific wireless cards and aftermarket drivers for it to work.
If that isn't the case how does this plugin capture data not aimed at your local IP address?
Yes, they require a server (tracker) to limit access to members only but that functionality would just be shifted to the social networking site.
If you're planning to do this without a tracker then how do you prevent people outside your friends list from joining the torrent (assuming they manage to find a copy of the.torrent file)?
If you have friends list big enough to make bittorrent worth while it's quite likely that someone will leak the torrent file to someone they trust who may share it with someone else THEY trust etc, etc...
To summarise (please correct me if I misunderstood your point), the UK works on a whole different scale to the US (and other spread out countries like Canada, Australia etc).
A much higher percentage of people live (or work) in a metropolitan/suburban area where a supermarket is no more that a 10 minute walk away and to order online is just being lazy, it will only add to traffic/pollution/CO2.
Yes, there are still a lot of people who have to drive to get to their nearest supermarket but significantly fewer than you get in the US. This difference is enough to swing the averages in favour of not buying online.
I'm sure that there are many areas of the UK where it makes sense to buy groceries online but overall, as an average of the population, not so much...
MANY people in the UK (not all, but a relatively large proportion) live VERY CLOSE to their local supermarket, I'm talking walking distance. If we ALL ordered our shopping online then there would be a lot more cars/vans/lorries driving around (short distances, read high fuel consumption) but the shop would still stay open and employ nearly the same number of staff (especially in the short term because there are still a lot of people who just walk to the store) so the net energy consumption will be higher.
Didn't you know that if you tie enough Google accounts to searches in really tight latices you can make a great pan that will sift gold like no other...
The urine is purified in the same way as mains water is purified
When you purify water (to make mains water) the bit you want to keep is the water and the stuff you have removed is the 'impurities'. That would suggest to me that they are using the 'impurities' to make the whiskey. Hopefully there is another process that removes the sugars from the other chemicals in the extracted material, a process that probably has nothing to do with water purification.
I am sitting In the morning at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway and before I even argue
He is looking out the window at somebody coming in
Duh duh der der, duh duh der der, duh duh der der der der der der
As long as Canonical don't abuse this (by adding to it's feature set) I wouldn't mind this running on my machines. Maybe we'll get some more accurate usage stats.
IANAL but my understanding was that if you are in a totally different market (i.e electronics vs. outdoor equipment) that it was hard to prove trademark infringement.
For example, I used to work for a small (<10 employees) English company called Typhoon that imported/distributed oriental cookware. We got sued by the makers of Typhoo Tea because our logo and name were too similar. Our company won primarily because the court decided that nobody would confuse a wok with a tea bag.
I have a good friend who drives many miles a day and can touch-text (i.e below the dashboard, while watching the traffic) quicker than I can text while looking at my phone (hell, quicker than some people can type!)
I'm not saying he's safe while doing it, just that some people (such as truck drivers?) can TXT whithout being seen to be TXTing.
I can confirm this, in Chamonix (i.e in the middle of nowhere in the Alps), using free WiFi at my local bar, I have regularly seen 1.5+MB/s on a torrent. That's one and a half mega bytes plus (not bits) on a shared/public, free WiFi connection.
Windows downloads patches and applies them in the middle of the night
That's assuming you leave your computer switched on over night, most 'average users' I deal with switch their PC off when they're not using it so they have to deal with patching during the day when they're trying to work.
The firefox addon Live HTTP Headers will provide all the redirect information you'll need although it's not the sort of thing an average user will be able to decipher.
I live in Chamonix which is a medium size town in the French Alps, here I'd guess at least 50% of bars, hostels, cafes etc (we're talking at least 60 establishments inside a couple of square miles) have free internet access exactly as you describe, some open/unencrypted and others you just ask for the WPA key from the staff. Also most chalets offer free internet to their customers.
Apart from a couple of the larger hotels I doubt any of these businesses would be able to afford to implement safe guards against P2P. If they were forced to remove this service then internet access would become much harder to find or much more expensive for anyone who doesn't live there permanently. Bare in mind that the minimum contract for a phone line in these parts is 12 months and 80% of the population (for 10 months a year) aren't staying for more than 5 months.

how they dodge Opera and Chrome from winning
Maybe something like this?
function checkUserAgent() {
if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf('WebKit')>=0 ||
navigator.appName.indexOf('Opera')>=0
) setTimeout(return,sufficiently_large_integer);
else return;
}
So we're NOT all going to die? To celebrate I'm going out back to burn that pile of old tyres :-)
Happy, happy, joy, joy...

The British colonists in India used to drink IPA for the same reasons.

I'm sure they offer a boxset option. Personally I'd have "Now That's What I call Music" volumes 1-12 just to annoy everyone.
Personally I use two repeated passwords which compare to your first two examples.
For banking, email and server logins I have unique passwords and an encrypted password manager to help me remember them.
Oops, FF 3.6 is on my other partition:
Firefox-3.6.8-Linux: 1815.0ms

Opera-10.61-Linux: 868.2ms
Chromium-6.0.492.0-Linux: 865.6ms
I would have posted links to the results but apparently there were too many non-letter characters per line (even with the links inside href attribs).

I guess it's horses for courses, I'll take the Swedish girls in the hot-tub before your sun baked prunes w/ falsys
I'm sorry I don't have any mod points to correct the obvious jealousy that caused your -1.
Before the Internet, Scandinavian kids used to get so bored, and thus angry, that they would do crazy stuff like this
And since the internet American kids still do stuff like this.
