A cookie? What's this you're offering?

A cookie is a very tiny piece of text we’re asking permission to place on your computer’s hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file. Its purpose is to let us know when you visit microsoft.com.

This text, by itself, only tells us that a previous microsoft.com visitor has returned. It doesn’t tell us who you are, or your email address or anything else personal. If you want to give us that information later, that’s your choice.

So why do we offer cookies?

Cookies help us evaluate visitors’ use of our site, such as what customers want to see and what they never read. That information allows us to better focus our online product, to concentrate on information people are reading and products they are using.

And guess what? A cookie can help you.

If you accept a cookie, nothing affects you immediately. But you know what happens whenever you want to download software, access a premium site or even request permission to use a Microsoft logo on your Web page? You get asked questions like who you are and your email address. And that happens every time you want to download stuff.

If you have accepted a cookie, however, those questions eventually will be asked just once, no matter how often you download software or how many Microsoft sites you visit.

In the future, a cookie will allow you to tell us what information you prefer to read and what you don’t. If you’re a gamer, for example, we can advise you on content specific to games.

Why are we telling you all this? Because we want you to know why we ask you to accept a cookie. We want to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you.

Cookies are harmless, occupying just a few bytes on your hard drive. They also can be a Web site browser’s very good friend.
 

 
CNN is dead? Not. These are just quiet times, when there is little or nothing to say. After a while, a forest will burn up, one of us will be smitten… something will happen definitely, and we will all be here to talk about it.
 
 
O tama na iyan. Nakaltas na dapat ako kung hindi tinanggal yung Eighth Theist. Sorry. Wala lang talaga akong masabi. What are we going to do now it’s all been said. No new ideas in the house and every book has been read. Iisipin ng mga Jailhouser kapag nagkabulgaran, ginawang despotism yung Eighth Theist dahil nahihirapan tayong gumawa ng CNN at least once a week dahil walang mapag-usapan dahil wala sila, pero hindi natin magawang magkaltasan. wohh wohh <white trash na kaklase ni White Trash Years>
 

 
The Dirty Matter
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TO BE CONTINUED…
 

 
Dugas na CNN. Wala munang replies. Salamat kay Hec sa pagtulong niya sa akin sa paggawa nung mga Dirty Matter comic strip. Salamat kay Vicente para sa mga picture. Salamat kay øLagoon sa pagbigay sa niya akin ng kopya nung mga picture, pero actually; kinuha ko na lang ulit sa The Last Session yung mga picture dahil naggagago yung freemail at hindi ko ma-download yung pinadala ni øLagoon. wohh wohh <white trash na kaklase ni White Trash Years>
