Ah, they seem hellbound on placing a cookie (or cookies) at least once. If I was game to play, I'd let them do it, then go back and delete everything they put on there and then try again. Unless they're also tracking your IP, I'm thinking that should do it.

Some cookies last longer than others. I know the NYT's counting cookie has a somewhat indirect name, you have to look at it carefully to know what it is. Although with the incognito thing, I don't know how the site would read that. I mean, it's not truly "incognito" if they can tell it's incognito. But maybe it's as simple as they're noting that they can't set their cookies. I'd think if you deleted all relevant cookies and used a regular browser and then deleted all placed cookies after visiting? It's not that I mind being blocked from a site I don't care about, I just like knowing how it's done and how I can get around it. There's enough stuff for me on the NYT that I know how to reset their counter. Boston Globe, no idea, I don't go there.

Just curious, how do you use album artwork in your car?

Draw The Right Thing.

You just need to find the cookie/s that count your hits and delete them as/when needed.

If penguins had malt shops, surely this would be in the jukebox!

Here's the NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/07/business/the-mad-dash-to-find-a-cybersecurity-force.html paywall may or may not be hit,

At 3 3/4 ips, probably not so super-fi.

Ah, comic books!

If necessary, I'll be happy to turn that nudge into a shove!

Always a treat to hear from Dana Delaney! And to have a The President's Analyst reference dropped!

My experience with Vista was that of a clean install on a new system, and updating from XP. It was also after the first two Service Packs. I worked great for me for several years, best Windows ever. All the nightmare stories I ever heard ame for early adapters and/or people who did an update over an existing install. Several years of flawless, and I do mean flawless, performance. And then it crashed. And burned. And could not be resuscitated. So I got a friendly geek to pull all the date off the HD, back it up, reformat the HD, and then put in 7. 7 was good, but my Vista had been better. I had occasional, minor glitches out of 7, quite unlike Vista. Skipped 8 altogether, then went with 10 when the old Dell finally begged to be put out to pasture so it could enjoy a little sunshine before it died completely (sunshine for a PC being an undisturbed dark closet). So the same geek guru built me a system from the ground up via a shopping trip to Micro Center. That was fun, seriously. So now I'm on 10. There was a learning curve, to be sure, but everything works, and once you learn how to get to where you want to go, it's all good. Just wanting to relate a Vista experience that runs counter to the standard narrative. Once it got fixed, it was a good product that was already ruined by a premature release and really faulty understanding/communication, all of which was totally avoidable. A textbook example of how NOT to roll out a product.

Call me a Gloomy Gus, but I can see a point in time (not ours,although, who knows....) where there's a big "conquering" and there is a targeted effort to destroy access to certain "knowledges". It's happened before, multiple times, and there's no reason to think it can't happen again. And when it does, people who have hard copies stashed away will have "secret knowledge" on their hands. History is written by the winners, or so they say, and it's not until the losers' recorded stories start turning up that that begins to change. That's why although I have no qualms with streaming and/or cloud-based storage, I still like to have a Plan B. Just because.

There are no landfills in the Cloud(s). But what happens when the weather clears and all the Clouds are gone? Or when just the ones that belong to the winners survive?

Prices ahve gone up: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-3M-Scotch-206-1-4-Tape-on-10-5-Metal-Reel-Reel-to-Reel-Deck-whit-box/323542398092?hash=item4b54a1348c:g:hcoAAOSwfPlb5mB~:rk:2:pf:0

What kind of tape was it that was $118.00 a reel? Although, I guess 2" is 8x more than 1/4, so $118.00 is better than $144.00.

yeah, well...have fun with that. and all that comes with it.
