That's not internet addiction. That's just old fashion teenage rebellion combined with a health dose of spoiled brat.

My understanding of the situation is that he was trying to restore the ability to boot to linux on the PS3, a feature that was included on the device when he purchased it.
No. That was failOverflow that did the work to get Linux running on the PS3 but they did not go on and do the additional work required to run pirated games on it. Geohot did that additional work.
How much did the artist get for each radio play? Nothing you say. Subscription services are arguably more comparable to radio than purchasing an mp3 or CD. At least they make something off the subscription service. It's a gain as far as I can tell.
[...] and recently ponied up $100,000 to defeat a proposed WA state income tax, a good investment for someone who's cashed in close to $800,000,000 in Amazon stock this year alone.
The poster obviously never heard of capital gains tax and the fact that it is not the same as income tax.
Debian CUT == Constantly Usable Testing.
A recently started project in Debian with a similar goal of a rolling release (along with an idea of installable snapshots).
This has nothing to do with your cookies, browsing history, etc. It will be an accumulation of your searches, shopping habits, media habits, social networks, etc. Your online behaviour as seen by third parties. They will scrape what they can and buy the rest. They are basically profiling people looking for correlations with their insurance risks. This is nothing new, it is what they have been doing for years. They are just looking at adding new data points that are cheaper and readily available.
After getting a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones I was very disappointed in the sound quality of both my old Audigy 2 ZS and the on-board sound. There was a noticeable, high-pitched buzz all the time that was very annoying.
Purchased a HT Omega Striker and it sounds MUCH better. Not just no buzz but it just sounded better overall, particularly with the headphones. Quite a difference.
I'm holding out for a D-Link Boxbee. It is small, dedicated hardware which supports both online streaming from netflix, hulu and such as well as full support for your local library of video/audio. Should be out this fall.
I'd provide links, but it's easier to just google for it.
Come one... how many people sit in a circle and pass around a cigarette. You all know this is a pot smoking game. They might have well specified the items as 'joint, fatty and bong'.
You are assuming that the question was proposed by a person who likes tightly integrated systems like windows and mac provide. Not everyone does. Some prefer loosely couple and highly customizable systems that they can mold to their style.
Just because you like one thing don't assume everyone does.
I like this relatively new cookie control mechanism. It is simple but effective.

Verbosity of syntax doesn't help with readability, it works against it.
You can't read what's not on your screen.
Basic economics. Corps don't pay taxes. Taxes are a cost. Costs get passed on to customers, shareholders and employees. They get passed on to you. You who buy any products made by corporations. You who has money in a 401K, Roth or any form of interest bearing account. You you work for a corporation.
There is no one else. Get over it.
I think the author is being willingly blind for the sake of the story. Looking at the last few hundred years it is obvious that technological advances are working on something of an exponential curve and that they are going at a rate now so much faster than 100 years ago that our perceptions of them have changed. We now see the huge advances as the norm rather than the exception, whereas in the authors referenced time frame we saw relatively small advances as rare and groundbreaking.
Wow, never thought I'd see common sense creep into any courtroom when it came to copyright. Doubt it will last.
