It won't make people more aware, though.
People will just click "accept" as a reflex action because they'll get so used to the pop-ups appearing on every site to tell them about harmless cookies.
Anyone using a cookie maliciously could easily obfuscate what that cookie does in so much jargon that it is meaningless to the layman but still complies with the law.
It would have made far more sense for browsers to be made to pop up an alert when a site uses cookies (which could then be turned off), rather than make every website get an annoying pop up whether people care or not and which assumes that every website owner is aware of the law.
Ultimately, most people harvesting data do not save it in cookies anyway.

The only reason the Xbox broke Sony's strangle hold on the console market is because right from the off they were paying to dollar to get exclusives for themselves and persuading other publishers to not give exclusives to Sony.
The only reason the Wii got in there at all is because it's one big gimmick that appeals to non-gamers (i.e. parents).
So how is the Ouya going to muscle it's way in?
It doesn't have the backing or a killer gimmick... It's on an open source platform - that's it, that's it's "thing". Whoop-de-doo. So why don't PC gamers all migrate to Linux? Oh yeah, that's right, because it doesn't have a huge catalogue of games.
The MAIN reason sony, microsoft and even nintendo wont give a shit is because in essence it will be in direct competition with, not the consoles themselves, but Xbox marketplace, ps3 store, wiiware and Steam.

Trains are typical Russian
clean and functional, what amazed me too was the dogs that travel alone and know what stops to get off

I don't want to come over like some massive train geek
because I'm really not (I just happen to have read a book about the Tube recently), but the Circle Line on Moscow Metro is quite interesting. Engineers who'd worked on the London Underground told them to avoid a Circle, as it was a total pain and there were too many junctions with other lines. Khruschev, who'd had been put in charge of the project by Stalin, decided fuck it, we'll have a Circle Line anyway. Since they were building from scratch rather than melding lots of different lines togehter as happened in London, it actually turned out to be quite easy to build, and just demonstrated how much of a mess the London system is.

Or the prospect of being sent to a work gulag, fed feet first into a furness or just worked to death.
Really makes you concentrate on what you're doing in Stalinist russia.
Another great Stalins project was the road of bones built by political prisoners.

Andrew Martin
yes. It wasn't brilliant - quite bitty in a lot of places - but still plenty of nice little facts and stories.
Also, it send me on a spending spree for vintage Tube posters. Currently have this in my kitchen: www.amazon.co.uk/Brightest-London-Reached-Underground-Poster/dp/B0049A9EK4/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1342011258&sr=1-2
EDIT: And which other Underground books are any good, then (you massive train geek)?

I'll ignore that, Mr Buys-Gay-Posters.
Christian Wolmar's "Subterranean Railway".
And I can't remember the one before Andrew Martin's....ask me again, I'll look on my kindle.
