Don't mistake "The current research" with "One research paper posted on Slashdot a few months ago ". You're over-generalizing. Or maybe you are an expert on the subject, but in that case I would be happy to see the other sources you know.
2. The user-agent string is one factor of many which is (in fact) used to try to identify a browser as uniquely as possible.
Is it still the case now that browser versions change every month, and the User-Agent string with it?
Actually, as a web guy, I also care about logs that are free from false positives due to accidental clicks and redirects.
As a web guy that is security aware I would not want that a hacker uses this "feature" to hide his tracks after his forfeit.
people should get a large popup for each site that requires them to allow tracking
You do not seem to understand what is "do-not-track". This is just a declaration of the user to "Do not track me". Nothing technically forces the site to not track you. In fact, most of the advertising agencies that say they implement it say that they will just not use the tracking data to show you personnalized ads. You will get only generic ads not based on your profile, but will still be profiled.
Worse, if "Do-not-Tack" is enabled in Firefox, this adds an additional bit of valuable information to your tracking profile: the fact that you are privacy-aware.
So don't count on Do-not-Track only if you want that your privacy be respected. Use additional tools such as AdBlock Plus and Ghostery and allow cookies only siste by site with a whitelist.
ok, at least you're honest about it...
Honest, but Anonymous Coward... Does that really count?
Or better: anyone can push to the central repo, but only one can push to the master branch.
You can do this kind of setup with gitolite.
Obviously you did not read their terms and conditions before relying on the service. DotTK are crooks by design. Their businness model is clear: get your money once you find the service useful.
Please get it correct. It isn't very hard to do and it's rather annoying.
Please don't get it wrong. It isn't very hard to do and it's rather annoying.
Thanks Entrope.
Automating the package release seems like a no-brainer for either the SAMBA or Ubuntu team.
As you know this is a no-brainer for them, it is obviously a no-brainer for you too. So just fucking do it!
Are you paying Canonical for Ubunut support?
No? So stop complaining.
The first one is kind of major, I would think: You can't even browse a network?!
Nowadays, as a user you're not supposed to connect directly to the desktop machine of another user. You exchange files through file servers, print servers or The Cloud. So how is browsing the network useful?

Do you have an advice for ink?
... a distro that is stripped of all non-Steam related apps and boots directly into the Steam 10' interface
Simpler: just make an init runlevel dedicated to gaming.
This reminds me the DOS boot disk I had in the 90's to have the perfect AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS (thanks to menus in MS-DOS 6) for each game.
