Quick! Someone buy AC a prostitute!

That makes more sense and explains my difficulty with it.

I don't recall saying "At least we aren't..." or anything similar.

It isn't denial. It's paying attention to world affairs and seeing the backsliding of Russia into the same political mentality of the Soviet Union. I don't deny that the US government is performing domestic surveillance of us. That is obvious and has been speculated for a while. But, to say we are doing so more than Russia? That's worthy of skepticism.

I have a hard time believing the US performs more domestic surveillance than Putin's Russia.

I agree. However, I was speaking to the point that lowering a bar in a game of Limbo makes it harder. ;)

Then wouldn't it get harder as it gets lower?

Call me when they figure out how to directly translate a gin and tonic to brain cells.

Don't we only use a small percentage? Wouldn't it make more sense to figure out how to put the remaining, unused portion to good use?

I understand what is being said about Apache, et al ignoring it because it is a default setting and not explicitly indicative of how a user might feel. However, your response still doesn't explain the impact on consumers. How will defaulting to DNT be detrimental to the people not being tracked?

If anything, organizations and companies ignoring the setting whether it's on by default or not seems like it would have a far more negative affect on the browser's users.

That really doesn't answer the question of how it would be detrimental too consumers.

And check all the config files.

And before any literalists jump down my throat asking why they'd sue if they don't have the patent or some nonsense like that, I know.

A recent study indicates that cost isn't really an issue. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2012/09/02/your-money/framing-prevents-needed-stimulus-economic-view.xml
