IIRC it depends how the ads are routed. The ads could be piped through duckduckgo so Bing only receives searches to return contextual ads for but has no knowledge of the IPs for each search. Duckduckgo then embeds the ads in the search page

This doesn't look good for ghostery but hypothetically both of these statements can be true. They may be referring to the idea that they don't sell an individuals data, only massed results, so no one can be singled out. This is ho

Our media does an amazing job at presenting labor and liberal as the only two options. Especially by suggesting that voting third party is throwing your vote away (which it isn't because of our preference system). I have no faith in Au

Isn't the algorithm just, filter out the greenscreen, for each remaining pixel draw it to the buffer, draw the buffer to the screen? That doesn't seem more complicated than the examples they showed.

I will not be sad to see "rape a bitch" macros go but having their ads next to stuff like this is exactly what they signed up for. They signed up for their ads to be displayed next to whatever anyone posted. Anyone who has used the internet

I find it strange that there is pressure from companies advertising on facebook about this. They signed up for ads on a user generated content site and then are displeased with some of the content? Why are they even concerned about this? "S

That was my thinking too. Along the lines of the anarchists cookbook.

Out of curiosity, would it be illegal to do that? I mean ethically it's definitely wrong, and I'm sure it's illegal to sell it to someone if you know they are going to try and exploit it for profit, is there a technical loophole to hide beh

Especially since the only part of the market they can hope to capture with this move is "people who already pay for game of thrones legally over itunes". I would think that most of those people also know how to torrent but choose not to and

Yes, Foxtel is moving to block the itunes episodes from getting a speedy release. Not until next season though so we'll see if they succeed.

Ah, I thought they offered that for everywhere, not just australia (and they're cancelling it in australia). Sorry to get your hopes up.

It's out on itunes the same day in HD for $3.5 an episode (unless you are in australia).

That last statement is wildly speculative. More likely is that it's because some key genes are present on the X chromosome but not on the Y chromosome. The same reason colour blindness is much more prevalent in males.

The 405th[1] and therpf[2] are the forums you want. The 405th has more schematics like you mention but therpf has a wider scope. 1: http://www.405th.com 2: http://www.therpf.com Example: A gillion pepakura schematics for skyrim weapons a

I used this phone for about 6 months. The screen made it hard to navigate the menus and got in the way of even simple things like adding someone to your address book. The battery life was good but it was not significantly longer than the ba

I don't know if this is standard or not but there is a way of dealing with that on reddit. [test]( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd904817\(v=office.1... That'll work fine, just insert a backslash before the character and it'll be
