Comment: Got that in Norway (Score 1) 434
Here in Norway, the police is present, and has a big, red "POLITI" button on Facebook, Twitter as well as in Windows Live Messenger, and on Norwegian social networks (biip.no, nettby.no). The button is linked to a chat service with officers from Kripos (National Crime Unit). Apparently, children have reported abuse (violence by parents) as well as bullying, enabling Social Services to react.

I've had no problem with IG chips, they run all my software just fine and can even play Oblivion. Unless you're gaming or running some eye candy OS, I don't see why you'd need more.
Then again, I suppose I'm judging a discrete graphics card vs integrated as two very different things. If I have a discrete graphics card I expect it to do more than "even play Oblivion".

Comment: Err.. Not Opera 10. (Score 2, Informative) 1
Opera Unite is not Opera 10.00. It is a service coming with the release of Opera 10.00 (codenamed Peregrine). It is available in an Opera Labs release (snapshot) as of right now - dubbed "Opera Unite alpha". They did the same thing with Opera Turbo, released it as a standalone snapshot dubbed "Opera Turbo alpha".
I don't think Opera 10.00 final will be available for at least half a year.
Sniffing Browser History Without Javascript->
It actually works pretty simply — it is simpler than the Javascript implementation. All it does is load a page (in a hidden Iframe) which contains lots of links. If a link is visited, a background (which isn't really a background) is loaded as defined in the CSS. The "background" image will log the information, and then store it (and, in this case, it is displayed to you).
http://www.making-the-web.com/misc/sites-you-visit/nojs/ Is a demonstration of a method to find out the browsing history of a visitor to a website, no javascript required. It seems the only drawbacks to this method are the increased load on your browser, and that it requires a list of websites to check against."
