the point of linking to /tmp, means it will delete the contents during a boot.. doesnt matter wheat options are in the cookie, the os will whipe the folder clean unless you set permissions to have the file retained during a boot... unless I'm missing something?

does anyone know if they're applying this to other ISP who lease bandwidth from bell? Such as Teksavvy and the like? I'm switching from bell anyhow, but I'd be pissed if they force that on other ISPs too (along with throttling).

refund fine, but that should be something the owner of the device would need to consent to at the time, not Amazon arbitrarily deciding for them.

If I accept the refund policy, then for that instance alone, I'm allowing the service to enter the device and remove the media in exchange for my funds being returned.

Business accounts are also throttled by Bell, atleast our connection at work is. You can set your clock to it, 2am, wham! full speed.

So we pay twice the price of "your 29.99 home dsl line", and we're still throttled.

Bell throttles everything except their higest priced wholesale accounts, for example the type Primus has. I would find it hard to imagine small or even larger business are willing to fork out the coin for that service. Regular wholesale accounts are throttled in the same way, as was disclosed in the CRTC hearing yesterday.

I think I'm in *****, and would like to learn about ********, the **** ****, etc etc.. ?

you should take a look in the "about" section of their page http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/whatismozilla.html

corporation doesn't mean for-profit. non-profits can be corporations too, usually consist of a board of directors, executive director, management, staff etc.

Average user benchmarking is pretty biased from what I'm getting by your suggestion, considering that most people are used to using windows. This would only work in a sample of "average" people completely new to using any operating system. Especially if you take into consideration the big inconsistencies between GUI operations in GNU/linux vs. windows (windows users have specific habits that affect their experience on a GNU/linux machine, and vice versa)

Also I believe branding would be an issue, people assume a system is "windows" because its the defacto operating system, and is also used to describe general window management in by non-techies (I know because I work with a lot of homeless people, most of which think youtube is the same as the internet which is located inside the harddrive, referring to the case). Strip both operating systems of logos or titles prior to testing. But then it would no longer be a benchmark that you're suggesting, but really a survey of user experience. Completely different, but I agree 100% in context.

Benchmarks aside, GNU/linux users generally use it for reasons above and beyond just simple outperforming windows in benchmarks, and most windows users can't grasp that idea.

could be an issue with a missing font. I installed steam a couple of years ago in wine, and until I installed some sort of truetype font it would recognize, all the pages were blank. I remember it took some digging and wasn't too obvious of a solution on the wineHQ site.
I haven't tried wine since then since I've never needed it. so I could be way off in my guess work.

not sure this is the same issue..

a miranda warning like that, basically tells you that now since you're in custody of the law, anything you say is taken as part of your statement, and is legal evidence in the case. Has very little if anything to do with defamation of character. IANAL though.. just seems pretty straight forward.
