I don't think it has anything to do with trust. Think of all the $$$ companies can make if and when they can correlate a name to browsing habits and thus preferences. Put it in their little database/web mining program and walla. Steve roberts roberson the 3rd has a 98% chance of reading an ad for longer than 2.4 seconds if you place it in his favorite website, which happens to be yoyofuntime.com. do people still try and fool themselves into thinking that Google represents more than their stockholders' interests?
I've tried Opera a couple of times but keep coming back to Firefox. Firefox has a much larger extensions library; the UI is more intuitive IMO (I found it a pain to bookmark with Opera. For some reason, Opera seemed to render better-looking pages but there was nothing there that justified switching over from Firefox.
It's a bit off-putting that they try and push this kind of thing a second time and expect people to believe it. On the other hand, maybe I give too much credit to human kind.
The bill addresses Subpoenas, which, in this case, refers to the legal requirement of ISPs to provide evidence for an investigation. Following the amendments back to their source is also insightful. If you read carefully you can see how they use technicalities in related legal code to get what they want. The shocking takeaway is that they do not have to notify you “the subscriber” of any kind of investigation. They write about the need to ensure consumer privacy by putting the information in a safe place under the careful watch of “a government or state organization.” So this could be interpreted as a way of taking your private data and doing whatever they want with it since it will belong to an organization not under the same rules the govt has to play.
I wonder if there is a legal requirement for an ISP to provide a certain % of advertised performance. Also wonder if ISP circumvents by using "Up to" in advertising. up to 3 MBPS usually comes out to 56kps 99% of the time in my case.
using CP as a reason is useful because the media does not rely on logic but rather sensationalism to judge the worthiness of something. Instead of focusing on the logic of the stuff in the bill, the authors can just say "you must love CP!!!" instead and then the argument is already destroyed. 2ndly, noone wants to be labled as a cp lover so they are more likely to shut up even though they hate the bill.
"Every right-thinking..." <--- The author is just covering his/her ass. Sort of like Descarte putting God in his meditation work.... he knows it is BS but he does not want to get hanged for his work.
so easy
step 1) so sorry. You are on wrong OS. try again
step 2) so sorry. You are on wrong browser. try again
step 3) so sorry. You must enable Javascript. try again
step 4) so sorry. You must be developer. try again
If upsidedown smiles count, I would have to say that Launchpad makes me smile with its duplicate entrys and no intuitive method of organization/removal of entrys.
tnx for the tip. Turns out that opening finder was clipping off the bottom part where slider is. The only way I found out was by clicking and dragging the window downward an inch or two. Definitely needed that.
Pros: generally "feels" faster than 10.6
- repairing permissions seems to stick whereas 10.6 would always have 10000 broken permissions.
cons: - Removed ability to use resize icons by clicking and dragging slider bar. now you have to set in view options
- stubborn settings like having windows reappear upon restart despite disabling feature.
- you STILL have to get plugins like totalfinder to set up finder with tabs. default is like opening up a new browser window each time you want to go to a new link.
Free tools for free books. Makes me think about ways of finding free books or ways of using free software that rivals expensive ones for writ in nice looking books. Instead I am directed to a website about the computer programming language Perl and as an aside some guy is working on a project. all you have to do is compile this and decompile that and... why?
I have been thinking the same thing for the past week. In fact, I clicked around the website to make sure that I was reading the same news I was reading when I first found this site (about a month ago.) I was impressed with the logically valid articles I was reading. Now it seems that the site is turning into another reddit or digg. Sometimes I am under the impression that users submit stories that are really clever ruses for pushing a product or service. It's also baffling why every page is 3/4 filled with articles about Google +. I guess the site takes on a form suitable to the majority of its users so I should not complain.
