As an aside, this bug was fixed in OpenBSD's ftp(1) 5 years ago. http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ftp/fet... http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=1251289575

In some cases it's not to spy on clicks but to hide data in the URL by obscuring the HTTP referer header, eg. DuckDuckGo does this so sites can't see your search terms.

Children make too much noise. Children don't get to use the computer for a week. Eventually children will learn and stop making too much noise. This is a parenting problem, not a technical one.

The vast majority of people are not deliberately choosing to install the software. They are "accepting" it by accident, by pressing the wrong button or because they are rushing through the installation and are not paying attention. No consu

The 41MP camera on the 808 wasn't exciting? Or the floating lens in the 920? If you think this is more exciting than the technological progress in mobile phone cameras that Nokia's R&D department is making, you need to adjust your sense

The last time for me was when they showed off the OIS and low-light capability of the Lumia 920. And the time before that was when they showed off the 41MP camera on the 808 PureView. Both of which are far more interesting than them throwin

The vast majority of those Lumias will be the high-end 920 and the slightly-less-high-end 820. Whereas those Android activations include everything and the kitchen sink. The Lumia 820, which is a lower-end and lower-priced WP8 phone, should

They're trying to justify their wholesale reuse of audio-visual assets by pointing out that a game created by Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer and Travis Baldree uses ideas from previous games they created. That has to be a joke.

The company is based in China, and when it comes to IP and copyright China typically doesn't care. Sure they could file against them in Canada but it will get them nowhere.
