    Dear Google,

    I do not go to porn sites that cost money so there is no point in sending me porn ads unless the site is free.

    Sincerely,

    A conversation between Google execs and Department of Homeland Security toadies:

    DHS: we want a full access backdoor to your usage data.

    Google: That is a violation of the Constitution, you will need a warrant for any access and we will contest any abuse in court.

    DHS: Golly, you told us! Hey, how's that anti-trust suit going for you? I hear the DOJ is ripping you guys a new one. Your stock is down 12%.

    Google: What? there's no lawsuit... Oh, yeah, we get it. We changed our minds about that whole secret, backdoor data access thingy. Yeah, no problem!

      Honestly, I think my ISP would rollover immediately and they have a much better record of my Internet usage.

        You're just being paranoid. What do you have to hide, kilroy?

          It's likely he's a white-power separatist with bomb-making materials in his garage, right under the Confederate flag.

    Okay, semi-serious question here: what the differecne between a managing editor, senior editor, and associate editor? Because as near as I can tell, all three write articles more than they edit stuff. I get editor-in-chief, but the subtleties of the lower grades of editor baffle me.

    And why is Cavanaugh a lowly columnist? Does he have better things to do than proof other people's mistakes?

    1. Banjoopy   14 years ago

      Payscale.

    whether the government will take advantage of user information

    Uh, yes, government will take any advantage it can.

    How much are you willing to spend on this watch? Consider what you can afford, and how much the person will use it.Rolex Daytona-rl110 outlet An expensive watch is worth it if the person you are
    buying it for will appreciate it and take good care of it. Knowing these terms can help you determine which features you want your luxury wristwatch to have. It is of note, however, that there are numerous other complicated functions besides time and date.
