Learn the following riddle:

ftp releases.mozilla.org
cd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/
ls
get "Firefox Setup 3.6.exe"

And you don't even need to memorize the dir structure, since ls is right there. I've used this on just about every Windows XP/Vista machine I've had to bootstrap for a user. I heard rumors that built-in ftp isn't included in Windows anymore; in that case, you're out of luck. (or you could use the ftp client in Windows Explorer or whatchamacallit, if they kept that.)

They're gaining access to data similar to what Facebook has, yes. If Google Social Networking and Mail becomes more popular than Facebook, then whatever Facebook has won't matter, because Google will have better social networking data than Facebook. Which is what we don't want.

I'm hypochondriac, you insensitive clod!

Or, you know, Google and Microsoft could be enemies and still both want Mozilla and Apple to die.

Your password must be 8 characters long. It must contain two digits and three uppercase letters. Characters must be ordered in strictly ascending ASCII order (no lowercase before uppercase; no uppercase before numerals; alphagram order). ... Strength: Weak. Your password is not strong enough. Try again.

If you're not on Facebook your tags won't be grouped - you'll be named with no link and no way to view other photos of you. Meaning the people who see your tag have already found the photo by other means. Making the tag pretty much useless.

I disagree. My typing speed on my Android phone (software keyboard) is fastest when I'm using my two thumbs while holding the phone, it's clearly doable. Next is one thumb writing, and two index finger writing is just horrible. But again, that's very subjective.

Maybe not so much 1 and l as l and I.

Good for us.

FTFY. Some people like talking about the issues but keeping it funky; some people are having a hard time understanding this but can relate to it more easily by way of humor. You may not like it, the mods may not like it and I will be modded down, but that's just how I and my friend Anonymous Coward feels.

As far as I've gathered (haven't RTFA), the script is opt-in for the websites, and it only registers the text you select, copy and paste on the sites using it. If the sites in question have user login, that's too bad for the users pasting passwords on the sites. However, in that case, the script would already have access to the password input box and its unmasked contents, thanks to the coarse-grained security policies in JavaScript on that matter. Your sensitive information is safe in your clipboard as long as it isn't copied from or pasted to the sites linking with Tynt Insight.

• Only let friends of friends add you as a friend (privacy option on the site).
• Disable all email notifications. This way you'll get max one or two a year, such as the ones they sent out when reviewing their privacy policy, and other things of that matter. (Or, you know, create a throwaway email address with which to sign up, or redirect emails from facebook.com to /dev/null.)

And you're done!
