Block tracking cookies the easy way
Prof. Froomkin (welcome back!) links to a tracking cookie opt-out page:
With a few clicks you can block cookies from Doubleclick and six other Internet tracking/marketers. Ironically, you must allow the site to set a “no thanks” cookie, so cookie blockers must be turned off to make this work.
Although this site was a good idea once upon a time, this rigmarole is completely unnecessary. Tracking cookies are, by definition, third-party cookies. I can think of no good reason to allow third-party cookies on my computer, and so I block all of them. You’ll find the detailed instructions in this article I published in January of this year: How to completely eliminate tracking cookies.
The article includes instructions for Internet Explorer and Firefox. I just checked my system, and despite the fact that I have not deleted any cookies in the past year I have no tracking cookies from DoubleClick, Atlas DMT, 24/7 Real Media or any of the other sites listed on this page.

I don’t have those either but that’s probably because I use SpywareBlaster which (AFAIK) blocks cookies from those sites, even when they’re not third party. I’ve been blocking third-party cookies for years now and it’s never caused me a problem.

Hi!I wonder, if it is possible to install linux on a windows dynamic disk?
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/lin…05.1/0822.html
Says there that yes, but the method is only a workaround.
Now thats from 2001, we're in 2006 now.
Is there native support for windows dynamic disks?
will linux be able to mount them? Thanx for your help.
