I have two questions. I am sure somebody here can enlighten me.
1. Can Adsense ads on non-google properties actually track users, i.e. decide it's the same user that was on A, then B, then C, when none of A, B and C are google.com ? Wouldn't that require the right to access third party cookies, which most browsers forbid by default ?
2. If they can, does google actually do it ? Is there a unique user id read/written by the adsense ads, or is it accessing the google/gmail account cookie somehow ?
I tried looking into the cookies set by google, with the help of LiveHttpHeaders, but couldn't make head or tail of it...
Thanks!
I think it's a great idea to allow more intelligent people get involved and discuss policy. We (I don't live in the US any more, but it's not any different here) now have "vote for me because i'm your buddy" lame campaigns, and almost no real debate. Very few people can stand the endless meetings and useless bickering of traditional politics, unless of course they want to be elected or get something in return.
This should get a lot more honest people interested.
But wouldn't some form of moderation (ala./ ?) be useful in filtering the manipulation attempts, and all the garbage one usually finds in forums ? I am wondering whether a wiki is really the best tool in this case ?

any software out there that combines wiki-style editing with /.-style moderation ?
