If you have nothing to lose, you probably can't afford lawyers in the first place.

Not quite your point, I know, but it seems to apply here.

If you're going after a target with deep pockets you will have no problems with lawyers who will work for a share of the settlement.

Edit: changed my wording to be more accurate.

I think you mean they'll work for a piece of the reward, not for free.

Yup, that's what I meant.

I've heard of lots of times where photographers were threatened by security, even police. I've also heard of many cases where they were able to show that the photography WAS legal, and were left alone. Just because police/security says something is illegal, it doesn't make it wrong. That's why we have courts, although unfortunately going to court can be risky and expensive, even when you're right.

I nearly stopped - but it's the opinion of the blog writer. The video is not from the blog itself, and is definitely worth the watch.

But I agree - stupid things like 'Micro$oft' are a pet peeve of mine. I think people should use what they like and what works better for them. I personally use Windows and Linux, just for different things. And I've have a Mac box to play with if I wasn't broke.

So I suggest to anyone else who didn't watch the video - ignore the irritating blog author and check the video out. It's completely unrelated to the idiotic comment.

Sounds good, but what happens when you reinstall your OS, or change your OS or browser?

Not saying it's not possible - not trying to shoot this down at all - just I think it's a major issue.

One could use a cloud service like Xmarks which already syncs bookmarks and browser passwords. Just because it's built into the browser doesn't mean that you can store the information in the cloud and sync it between browsers.

The difference is that you control the connection and your information directly. With OpenID or Facebook the connection is directly between those entities and site you are visiting. With a browser-based system, the connection is always between the site and you or the cloud and you.

Xmarks is shutting down in 90 days, apparently. =\

Go to options and change "difficulty" from "peaceful" to something else.

Very close guess on the scale - each block is a cubic meter.

Why not make "Go to my profile" the clickable link?

I'm tempted to suggest the next logical extension would be "Go to my profile: click here <-- HEY! That was the link!" :-S

Alt-SysRq-B works more reliable in Linux.

He missed an apostrophe that you didn't catch: "important person's cat", i.e. a cat owned by someone who would be vocally unhappy their pet was killed.

This assumes that the dosage of aspirin is fatal to cats, which is not something I'm sure of (or care about enough to research).
