I do find it somewhat annoying when I see products I have recently viewed at online shops or see ads targeted to match websites I have been to. So I get the odd mixture of guitars and medical technology ads. I guess I'd rather see those than the badly designed "you've won bazillions of dollars click here to find out!" ads.
I always make a point of not clicking on any of the ads, if I happen to see something of intrest I will go to the website directly rather than clikcking through the ad.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

'Ethically deployed'
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's what they they told her to say.
[Edit] Since when is annoying people considered "ethical"?

You should read the Amscreen web page where they suggest where to position the current lot and what to target them with;
"People in hospitals are receptive to content about medical issues".
By the way, if anyone here is in marketing or advertising...kill yourself. Thank you. Just planting seeds, planting seeds is all I'm doing. No joke here, really. Seriously, kill yourself, you have no rationalisation for what you do, you are Satan's little helpers. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show. Seriously, I know the marketing people: 'There's gonna be a joke comin' up.' There's no f***ing joke. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself...borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy, do something...rid the world of your evil f***ing presence.

Troy Hunt's suggestion[^] of how the "opt-in" will work was quite amusing.

Having been privacy-paranoid for before it was in fashion, I've used a large number of email addresses (thanks to several catch-alls), destroy all cookies when browser closes (if I even allow them to begin with), including flash cookies;
I lie like a banshee on forms wanting any kind of information, changing it constantly in all of its facets (name, age, gender, income, and anything else seems like fun).
And throw into the mix AdBlock, Ghostery, and BetterPrivacy.
A marketing nightmare I'm quite proud of.
Actually, even here where I share a lot compared to my usual standard, with a bio and other profileable comments, who the hell am I?
(and who really cares?)

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are trying to set up a fenced-in area for some sheep, but they have a limited amount of building material.
The engineer gets up first and makes a square fence with the material, reasoning that it's a pretty good working solution.
"No no," says the physicist, "there's a better way." He takes the fence and makes a circular pen, showing how it encompasses the maximum possible space with the given material.
Then the mathematician speaks up: "No, no, there's an even better way." To the others' amusement he proceeds to construct a little tiny fence around himself, then declares: "I define myself to be on the outside."

I can filter by not answered but can't get the questions without solution? I mean If I have a question where someone answered but didn't give me the solution then how other will notice that I didn't get the solution I want? It should still appear as unanswered until a solution is provided.

There is no mechanism for that - probably because not every question asker can be bothered to mark then as "solved".
However, there us a forum where you can suggest it as an addition: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1645/Site-Bugs-Suggestions.aspx[^]
It's better to post such things there as the admins read everything there, and may miss it here.

Ok I will re-post it there as a suggestion

No it shouldn't. It has an answer - it might not be the answer you want, but it has an answer. We have a problem where people get the answer they need, but they never mark it as the solution. If we were to adopt your suggestion, the questions that do need answers would disappear under the weight of the lazy and the incompetent.

Maybe just add it as an additional filter?
- All questions
- Questions without answer
- Questions without solution

I made that proposal when Q&A was released. You can obviously guess what happened next.
