All your mashups are belong to us!
Seriously, trace all you like on google maps (in your geography lessons, at work, in your council meetings) because we're going to take all your data and put adverts on it.

so how about doing something useful with all those aerial/street photos (like letting openstreetmap trace them, rather than have them sitting unused hoping someone at googleplex will find a way to paste ads on the pics before they become out-of-date)
The "If you have nothing to hide" lobby are missing an important point. We don't live in a full democracy. If we did, there would be no problem.
The difficulty lies in the fact that we have a tiered democracy (don't call it 'representative', it isn't.) We vote only for the people who will take the actual decisions; we have no say over the legislation itself. That system allows rich individuals and organisations to influence our 'representatives' far more effectively than our puny vote does.
it's worse than that - we vote for the people (MPs) who vote for the people (cabinet) who take the actual decisions. Who then appoint people like Mandy and Suralan (and the quangos of course) to actually decide policy.
The Pirate Party are the only ones serious about challenging ID cards; the tories are just making noises about it for political gain.
The Lib Dems and Greens are also strongly opposed to 'em, and both are more likely to be in a position to be able to assert power and do something about it. I fear the Pirate Party's obsession with 'free (gratis) stuff' also blinds them to the harm it'll do to Free (libre) software.
Free Software has always been at the forefront of Pirate Party policy, and when RMS speaks, the PPUK listens carefully and is careful to ensure that any proposed copyright reform will strengthen Free Software
(e.g. I think the current copyright reform idea from Pirate Party UK is that extended copyright should be conditional on source-code being held in escrow, for release upon expiry of the exclusivity period)
I think it's simpler than that, they literally mean "a force has been applied to the device from outside causing it to fail", i.e. it was dropped or struck.
isn't that particular force applied to all iphones, most of the time?
Use different browsers for different purposes.
For example, use Google Chrome for your porn browsing, and then Firefox for your legit browsing.
In other words... Don't cross the streams!!
or better: run the same browser as different usernames. Then your normal account can't even access the data from the porn-browsing account. (especially when desktop-search or spotlight will happily index bookmarks from every browser installed)
History Block fixes this problem very nicely. It let's you setup a block list of urls that should not appear in the history.
The only thing more incriminating than that plugin's config file... is coding the plugin itself and writing "I frequent less-than-reputable websites while at work" in its release-notes
They'd still have to type them in, and then when you start typing "bigblackcollanders.com", the wrong URL might come up in the suggestions...
Really the solution is a Chrome-like incognito mode, which I thought the new FF had, but i dunno.

It does: "Tools -> Start Private Browsing" (cmd-shift-P) (new in v3.5)
and don't forget the 100% privacy surcharge (already mentioned in that link you posted) for paying by cash instead of RFID in London

If you were trying to sue someone for violating your patent, where would you rather do it: A jurisdiction very friendly to patents, or one that is hostile to patents?
one that's where your office is, of course!
why are you allowed to pick remote locations to have a trial anyway? Isn't that like me suing you for publishing an atheist text in canada, and deciding that we should hold the trial under Iranian laws?
