That is statistics, not "personal analytics".

Personal analytics appears to be what was earlier called "narcissism".

Most prisons are built as public-works projects in remote communities where your other choices are making minimum wage at McDonald's or the gas station. Prisons can get away with this because the local workforce is often desperate for a good-paying job.

You cannot seriously consider Rolling Stone a source of anything more than dopehead diatribes. Dude, it's Rolling Stone - they were marginally relevant to the 70s music scene. Marginally. Since then they've been nothing but a venting platform for drug-addled baby boomers who refuse to shut up.

People who want to feel alternative and underground and rebellious and cool by wearing Guy Fawkes masks? There's a ton.

People who also break into computer systems and deface web sites? A handful.

Oh, whatever...anonymous runs around saying it's anonymous and you can't define anonymous and anonymous is an "anarchic, digitalized global brain". So for all you know, there is a lot of overlap or even 100% overlap. You don't really know.

Defacing for defacing sake is the Anonymous motto.

Or better: Tarsnap - "online backups for the truly paranoid".

Oh you do not. Give us a break.

Well, since you USED ALL CAPS, you must be right.

I don't know why this was mod'd down. Obesity really is the problem. Most of those "skinny" models are not "skinny" - they're normal-sized. It's just that Americans have become a nation of morbidly obese people.

Nonsense. Don't watch TV. Don't listen to the radio. Use Adblock Plus. I'm assuming your eyes gloss pass magazine ads automatically.

Seems pretty moderated to me.

Cogent has a horrible reputation. 90% of the complaints about poor networks on WebHostingTalk.com are about Cogent.

Weeellll...they are a fantastic provider, but what you pay a lot for bandwidth. You get a great VPS, but they're not really designed for this kind of high bandwidth, unless you also need correspondingly high cpu.

Maybe linode coupled with a good CDN.

Attacking the Catholic Church in 2012 over the priest abuse scandal is like attacking Britain over John Major's policies.

The abuse scandal was a pattern of abuse and cover-up that exploded into the media spotlight in the late 80s/early 90s. The Church did wrong, but since then, they've done a lot of right - there's a zero-tolerance policies, lots of priests have been defrocked, billions in settlements have been paid, hundreds were jailed, etc. There will always be sexual abuse in any large organization with access to children - schools, Boy/Girl scouts, the YMCA, the Mendocino Physics Club, Gencon, whatever. So yes, there may be some that goes on today on a small scale...but what has changed is the organizational response. In 1970, a Bishop might have shuffled a pedophile priest to a different parish. Today, there's zero tolerance, formal processes, and a much greater awareness.

So...why attack in 2012? What is the point? If this was 1990, it'd be more understandable.

I think "anonymous" (aka a half-dozen bored kids) is just desperate to remain in the spotlight. The attention-getting is more important than any "cause". In fact, attention-getting is the cause.

Five.

But yahoos on Slashdot who ascribe any criticism of Middle Eastern fascism to some kind of racism...perhaps one.
