BBC:Had a joke about the Beeb on a local forum already. Something about the BBC only counting the connects from Linux people and due to the fact you basically need Windows, specifically IE, to use this (and other) feature(s) they'd get no visible Linux people. So Linux people do not exist according to their logs thus it is not needed to create applications that work for Linux.Such nice circular reasoning 8DBB:I'd say that people are not only unaware but also either accept it or are to apathetic to fight this.The reason why I think people accept it is anecdotal friends living in the US told me that one store in their neighborhood started demanding to know their zip code before they could pay.This happens with cookies mainly. The best defense is either a browser that allows to selectively retain cookies or a plug-in that does it. If you want to be sure that you have no cookies then a program like CrapCleaner is a way out. Just don't forget that this program will remove ALL cookies, including the ones you might want to keep due to automatic logins on preferred sites.

Speaking of technology, maybe you could get someone to wire up the Search function on your new blog so that it works properly.
