Did anyone else read the title as KDE Software Complication 4.10 RC1?

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I've been wondering what it would take for every site to think that it's the first website you've visited ever. Would it be enough if if the browser stored cookies and other permanent stuff based on what domain is in the address bar?

So if you first visit bing.com and get a cookie from ad-network.com and then visit google.com, the ad-network.com banner doesn't see your earlier cookie, because the domain in the address bar is different. I think it should make tracking people a lot harder, but maybe I'm missing something?

I think you mean second generation photo frames. The first generation had superior DPI, didn't use any power and was a lot cheaper. It was also often made of wood.

Because internet radio still has songs you don't have, and you might even discover new music you'll like. Pandora is really good with that. Half of the artists I listen to now I've discovered through Pandora. I also like the fact that I don't need to hand pick the songs or albums I want to listen, but instead just tune to a radio that plays the kind of music I'm in the mood for.

I thought nuking from the orbit was the only way. I guess I'd better try this first next time...

I bought Mass Effect 3 and you wouldn't believe all the hoops I had to jump through just to play the game. One of them was as silly as downloading the game files from the EA server even if I had them on the DVDs I had bought. The Origin client was a beta version, and when I contacted EA support to ask for a stable, they said they don't have one. I also asked if I could play the game if Origin network is shut down. The answer was that it's a new network and it's constantly expanding, so I shouldn't worry about it shutting down.

Never again.

OK, so earlier Amazon was cheaper than local stores, because you didn't have to pay the local sales tax you'd need to pay if you bought from your local store. They seem to be switching to a scheme where they can deliver stuff to you quicker, but the prices are higher because of the tax. Sure they might kill some of the local competition, but it shouldn't affect the prices that much. All you need is some other company that ships from another state and thus can compete with the price - keeping it low.

So wouldn't this be the easiest way to poison their database on you. Just subscribe to some mailing lists or arrange for some random mail sent to your @facebook address... Can you adjust it so that you don`t get any notifications of new mail?

So you're all set up if you just like money and limited-run TV shows?

Do you mean African or European sparrow?

It gets even better than that. I have installed Kubuntu to a USB stick. I've booted about ten different computers from it and had them work perfectly. Or at least I haven't come across any problems. Even the wireless connections on laptops have worked fine. I'd like to see someone try that with windows.

Nice post. Sorry I modded it flamebait.

I'm reading slashdot in a bus on a bumpy road and my finger slipped. So basically I'm posting to remove the mod. Ignore me. K thx bye.

So you can just call him the Spammer Formerly Known as Rotem Guez

This is actually a huge problem for installing alternative OSs. Most of the drivers are closed source, and there is no incentive for the manufacturers to release or open them. It's actually the other way round. Manufacturers benefit more by keeping other OSs out, so for that to happen, there would have to be some sort of paradigm shift in the market.
