Boffins find new 2012 glyph on 'secret' Mayan brick

count to 13?

If the long count date is base20 then why would it end after 13? won't it just roll over to 14?

And do these doomsayers not read how the 'world' started according to the Mayans? Somebody lifted up 3 stones to allow the sun to be seen!! They're going to believe these people that the world will end wen nobody can count past 13?

How do you apply for a refund, send a picture of your ass to the FTC? Where they'll then compare it to a scale of 'representative bums' and if you're still fat send you money back?

definition

Surely the whole argument here is the definition of anonymous? I always understood proxies as making your source anonymous to the target server, not the proxy itself. Without enough information to route the traffic back to you the connection is useless.

Since the proxy has to know who you are, where you are and where you connect to, the assumption that this information isn't going to be logged somewhere is naive at best, stupid at worst.

And to try and pass the blame on to a 3rd party after doing something illegal is as unlikely as Lamborghini paying your speeding fine after you drive their car too fast.

How useful?

How many times do you eject your SIM anyway? Once at the end of the contract maybe.

Or are these guys taking it out once a week to wash it in case it dirties their beloved iPhone?
