yet at least. so far all of the "ad blockers" i've seen don't actually block ads. they just hide them. they still use your bandwidth. their code is still rendered.

from what i understand the devs dont (yet?) have to tools necessary to actually block elements. they can only hide them. which kind of rules out the possibility of any legitimate noscript equivalent. which is more important than an adblocker.

yeah, i got that notice too. i'm a little disappointed. I was hoping to pay them extra if/when they decided to stop providing my area with service.

not quite. the "quintessential" definition of a hackintosh is intalling OSX on retail PC (as opposed to mac) hardware. this guy used a real mac mobo. so, basically he just modded a mac into a linksys case. not quite a hackintosh. also, not quite news.

i tell people to get macs. not because they won't cause frustration (perhaps not quite so much yes) but because when i do get the support call i can simply say "sorry, i dont support macs"

yeah also note that cbs/last.fm only deny handing over "user info" which is seems like a carefully constructed statement. how exactly do they define "user info?" it implies that they have handed over some info.

it's probably DOA. no sponsor in the senate yet. so call/write/harass your nys senator to sponsor the bill.

also there's now the nys senate is now on twitter http://twitter.com/nysenate. so send them a tweet saying you want an open source tax credit.

or i could just use bittorrent for free. and as an added bonus i dont have to search for .par's.

less traceable?

i dont know about you but every ISP i've ever had has horrible NNTP retention rates. and now most ISPs are cutting usenet hosting completely.

so, if you want a good retention rate you have to PAY for a 3rd party service. at which point you've handed over you name, address and billing info. i guess it's not "traceable" because they're not tracing you so much as you've just put your name on a list.

the terminator seems like a cautionary tale to me. i know to steer clear of time travel cyborgs.

are R rated movies not eligible for tax incentives? that'd be kind of absurd.

then we build mirror to reflect the suns rays. then when THAT fails we ignite a giant robot fart to change the orbit of the planet. the the show gets canceled.

simple.
