First world problems.
And yet here you are commenting on them. Shouldn't you be digging a well in Tanzania?

So how can you have implied consent when the sender doesn't know that the mail is being sent through Google?
Indeed!
I'm thinking a Thunderbird add-on might be useful, which would scan the MX records of your would-be recipients and alert if any of them pointed to Gmail...
Using 127.0.0.1 will waste time at the application protocol layer trying to connect to a web server on your localhost.
Try 0.0.0.0 or
Another one that Certificate Patrol has flagged inthe past week is *.twimg.com, which appears to be a mess of certs from different CAs.
One subdomain ( s0 ) has switched from a DigiCert EV wildcard cert to a Verisign per-subdomain cert.
Another has gone from Verisign to Comodo.
Annoyingly twimg.com seems to be embedded across the Web...
I've been rejecting them all, given that Twitter provide no information on their site as to whether this was a planned change.
provide Gmail username/password.
Err, what? Not only did you violate the Gmail terms of service by providing the password to another entity, but if that was also your employer's hosted e-mail service then that is most likely grounds for discipline and / or termination.
Why would you EVER enter your mail password anywhere other than.. your mail provider? WHY?
Privoxy can remove a lot more than just ads served from a given domain/server.
It can for HTTP, but increasingly tracking and ad services are shifting over to HTTPS ( Google Analytics is 100% SSL now ).
Privoxy can't help there, as browsers use SSL Tunnelling when configured to use it as an HTTPS proxy. So it just blindly relays the ads through.
Free content? I wish.
I pay economist.com more than $200 per year for their excellent news, and they still have the gall to try to bombard me with as many ads as a non-subscriber. Plus a 'subscribe now!' crawl-up from the bottom of the page.
Ads can go to hell.
I know it isn't always cool to support Apple, but I have to say that there are a lot of things that were just fads before they came in and did it right.
And as before Apple haven't *done* anything. They just bought the company that already made these scanners ( for phones such as the Atrix ) and stuffed the tech into the iPhone.
Much like the day Tony Fadell walked into their reception and said "I have a demonstration model of a portable music player that Sony declined..."
Can you imagine what things would be like if Linux had never happened?
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, ReactOS, BeOS, Kontiki, ErOS. And that's just a few off my head while I eat breakfast.
But it's a reasonable explanation of why
Really, telling someone learn about cryptography is a reasonable explanation? Why not tell them to go learn about cosmology too, since entropy is a key concept there?
For the two minutes it took for Mr Torvalds to bang-out his tirade on the keyboard he could have explained why folding a possibly-compromised RNG source into the pol doesn't increase risk much. Or provided a link and said 'go and educate yourself here'.
For instance spying kept the Cuban Missile Crisis from getting out of hand.
Just a minor issue, but can we please start to call that event the Turkish Missile Crisis?
After all, it was the USA that started the escalation by emplacing IRBMs in Italy and Turkey.
This isn't exactly shocking news.
Oh, I disagree! The USG has established 100-mile 'non-Constitution' zones around the national borders. Due process and security of personal information is suspended.
How is that not shocking?
to the extent that the remaining text is pointless.
1. Determine font face, size and kerning
2. For each redacted blank, determine which English word relevant to context would fit the space
How about a Gutenberg-style distributed proofreading endeavour?
while I do think that publishers take more than their fair share, I also think that they do provide quite a bit of benefit to the industry, since they serve to ferret out the diamonds in the rough
You keep saying this, but I would say about half of the ' properly published' books I have bought over the years have been junk. And this is in the field of factual books ( I don't bother with fiction ). That's no better than my record on buying self-published books.
And it's actually self-published books, or those from tiny speciality publishers, which are considered by the market to be most valuable years after publication.
Mainstream published books? Just rehashes of what someone else wrote and once the marketing-induced fad dies off in a year or so they'll be worth pennies on the second hand market.
Meanwhile Linked-In is a repository of highly accurate data
Well other than all the made-up skills that people can assign to you without your involvement.
'King of France', 'Maximum Awesome', 'Knife Skills'...
Why am I being endorsed for skills and expertise I do not claim on my profile?
