After seeing what it was, part of me was thinking "is this a spoof site pretending to be real?" while another part was thinking "this is too well written to be a joke." I wonder why they chose to file for the patent right when they were ge

It's amazing how the FBI can study how each person uses a language, in order to develop a theory on intelligence,social status, etc.

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 ro

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-looki

Thank you. That is pretty cool. If only I had a better way to overcome the mental block keeping me away from using the required mental bandwidth.

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 t

I get the feeling this is already used by companies. All these positive reviews for OS X Lion comes to mind.

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.

"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.

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.

1) change name of site to redd1t or d1gg. 2) Do something like Wikipedia has where people can vote in integrity/quality of source/story.
