I posted a submission that hasn't been approved yet that Pakistan (and others?) were doing a masterful job of hiding him while sorta pretending to be our friends. This says that if *everybody* involved really wanted him dead, he would have been in short order. Instead, we got our ten year spree of 1984 using this as bait to "stay the course".

I'm square in the sights of a perfect potential new Linux user. Thing is, I really don't care for either Gnome 3 or KDE 4.x. And I refuse to deal with stability issues and horrible graphic glitches.
As a new user I don't currently know enough to care about "anything under the shell" so it's all about the UI's and the apps that run with/for/inside them. Aren't some apps not available for some desktops?

There are some 500 tracking companies. Each has part of the data just because of where their business deals landed. They trade/sell their info to each other like collectible sets.
Restated: Suppose Company A can't get a deal to track Slashdot. But Company B gets it. Company A buys the data from B to add it to their set. That's why you only see some 3-12 trackers per page but it's in a pool of 500 choices.
We are derisive towards "Hai This is Facebook. Plz give us ur full name, address, cell phone number, age, and eye color so we can give you five Farmville sheep."
But you bring up the more interesting case, "Awesome service versus abused data". (Shout out to Holland and TomTom for yesterday's example.)

Here's the WSJ
(link crashed the lame filter - lame!)
Google is pushing into uncharted privacy territory for the company. Until recently, it refrained from aggressively cashing in on its own data about Internet users, fearing a backlash. But the rapid emergence of scrappy rivals who track people's online activities and sell that data, along with Facebook Inc.'s growth, is forcing a shift.
"Really? Please point me to one piece of solid evidence to that effect. If you can I'll run and delete my Google accounts right now. They sell ads so sure, they probably target ads with some model made from aggregate location data from lots of users but I have never found anything to suggest that they sell, or would ever sell this data to third parties. "
Here's one version.
One of the firefox addons called Ghostery identifies all the trackers on a page, as it blocks them. So imagine your typical page, like slashdot. It contains Google Analytics and other companies, apparently "adhere", whoever that is. The fact that all those companies are running trackers on the same page (places like PC world have some twelve trackers!) means that they are selling the results back and forth.
Another direction - Nick Bilton in his book "I Live In The Future and This Is How It Works" (may be a title typo) says that a growing number of the affiliated tracker companies are also Google, and that they are indeed working very hard to sell the results "to give you targeted experiences". (He goes into targeted news as well as ads, sich as "that restaurant next to you has lobster tonight."
So there's your evidence. What would you like to do now?
I'll take the other side and say it goes into an entry as "closure". There were only 2-3 "signature issues" for this whole War on Terror campaign - Saddam/Iraq and Bin Laden. BL was left hanging out there as deep unresolved tension driving this whole ugly crusade by.gov.
Now it's a democrat in office, with a year left in his term, and wherever you place the mission ops credit, he has put away the defining Republican meme of the decade.
So now cynicism says ".mil will keep its toys", but without the "But Bin Laden is out there" headline, the sound bites aren't nearly as good. "Be vigiliant". "Against who?" "Oh, some guy, we don't know yet".
Nah, any examiner would request to see the body, do a fifteen minute test, and determine if he died last week or *nine years ago*. I'd put money on them "purposely letting him slide through the clutches" but I'm darn sure we'd have a federal referendum if they lied quite that blatantly for 9 years.
The layers of "AstroTurf Science" are getting trickier. Claims like "De-Anonymization" yet it's written like they're doing semi-deliberate deniability by only covering the obvious attacks on the data. But the minute you get one of the real experts involved, it will crack open. The net has done more to leverage the lone gun expert than anything the world has ever seen.

"Sign this Pledge not to commit suicide."
"No."
"I said, sign it! Or Else!"
"Or else what? You going to kill me for not signing a pledge that says I won't do it myself?"
I have zero respect for "forcing the gov's hand".

Don't all those IP cases go through East Texas? So what's the appellate court for that?
It's a Synch thing.

Nah, information analysis is easy now. It's 2011.
I can think of seven ways to do it and it's not even my field.

Actually I was playing off quotes about 2-3 stories ago "Mac doesn't need anti-virus" where slahdot users were promoting that very idea.
Mods, parent is brilliant satire!
"It can't be! Macs don't get malware! Protect us, Steve J!"
Sorry man.
The way to please the mods is to link prior stories.
"They should be glad they didn't get a lousy month of service on an unsafe gaming network".
Let's try a Google search!

The correct phrasing of the meme should be "... called and left a message". It properly indicates the 1-way situation.

What's different between IonMonkey and JaegerMonkey (the last engine I thought)?
Everyone here knows that ... there are no real girls on /. ...
Facts known so far: The men are men, none of them are Osama Bin Laden, and the classiest webmistress on slashdot is taken, so her tags really mean " "
Can we do the Scurrying Rat theory and see who seems to try to slide into the successor position?
The TSA guy is there too.

Heh I called it (as one of many) in a post in the other thread a few days back. Now we're just waiting for Sony's total immunity from the lawsuit.
Geohot unlocks the hardware code? "Destroy his credibility!".
Sony leaves open millions of credit cards? "Have a free month of service!"
... And the AOL set before that.
