Exactly. If you fill out a form to ask Google to forget about you, all that'll happen, most likely, is that Google will have another piece of information about you - that you don't want information about you to be made public.

Sure they'll remove stuff about your from their search results, but rest assured *they* won't erase anything. Information on people is much too valuable to waste, just because something as trivial as the law says they must delete it.

Who's gonna check that they complied eh? Is that even possible?

I'm a hypermiler. I get 51 mpg out of my diesel minivan, But I have to work really hard at it, drive slowly, draft trucks, avoid braking, coast and engine-brake whenever I can. It's so much work I usually can't drive with the radio on, to avoid distraction.

Fuelly shows the same model/year minivan routinely gets 35 mpg or less in normal driving condition. So it's almost entirely a matter of driving style rather than technical tricks.

I've read the comments on three stories this morning. Anything remotely scientific is full of nothing but lame joke comments. The one about the sun is full of "my hot sister" comments. It's pathetic.

Agreed. Let's talk about planets in the solar system instead. The 7th from the Sun seems like an interesting one, don't you think?
