Prefetching has been around optionally since dialup days (Wikipedia says at least 2001). Around March 2005, Google instructed Mozilla browsers to prefetch the first search result URL. The sky is not falling.

I've had this issue too, apparently it used to completely fail if the hostname lookup failed even if your sudoers didn't talk about hostnames at all: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/32906

Isn't this more secure than having nothing? There is a large additional cost to the wrongdoers in that they have to get close to you (even if they know your home address, how do they know you and your phone are home). Seems like a deterrent

Seems like a whole bunch of big name brands were told by the chamber of commerce that they were signing on to oppose the sale of counterfeit merchandise online. Which you know they aren't unless they're planning to SOPA shutdown eBay.

More like you can now not drive on the highway. You can drive around in the suburbs (single player) but if you had a house far way (PSN+, XBL Gold) you can't get a refund even though you prepaid a years worth of rent.

Some of those apps from the first few days are still at the top of the top 10. I wonder what the benefit of that for subsequent full price sales will be!

Meh. Previous discussion centered around the distinction between shuttered and shut down. Now that it is a moot point, we can get on with actually having a jQuery plugins database that is more useful than blindly using google hoping to see
