Sure, but what I was replying to was "Any sites you enable JS for will load Google's JS, even if NoScript prevents them from executing", which is simply not true.

Uh, none of those are scripts, which is what NoScript blocks. Whether images are loaded has nothing to do with "Google's JS" being loaded despite NoScript, as it was claimed.
No, it's not the same thing, because 1) you don't have to use Google to use Persona, and 2) with Persona, Google doesn't know where you're logging in to.
Persona only needs a "middle man" if the domain you use doesn't support it natively. It's a fallback, not a requirement.
If you used a provider that supported Persona natively, not only you wouldn't need Mozilla as the middle man, as (unlike with OpenID), that same provider wouldn't know where you were logging in to.
Uh, you haven't actually used it, have you? You can enable scripts for the main domain, while keeping Google services blocked.
1) This is not part of Firefox
2) The first bridge was for Yahoo, not Google, and it's part of an authentication system (Persona) that is actually completely unbiased towards any provider.
Most people who don't eat meat do so because they don't like the taste, the texture
That makes no sense, because "meat" has no common taste or texture. A fillet of salmon and a pork steak are nothing alike, neither in taste nor texture.
Yes, but that would need Adobe to implement such a feature, and why would they?
And how does that client know the key hasn't been replaced by someone else's? Yes, the message can be signed. But if you don't have the key, you can't verify the signature either, so that can be faked too.
TLS is fine until you reach the MTA. Then you have no guarantee that the message won't be passed as plain text. And even if TLS is used on each hop (unlikely), you still don't have a real end-to-end secure connection, just a chain of many connections, with middle men who can see all the emails.
The problem with Bitcoin (and blockchain based currencies) is that they don't really deal well with microtransactions. Since each transaction has to be sent and confirmed by a bunch of nodes, they impose a lot of strain on the miners. Eventually we should see rising transaction fees, which will probably kill such systems.
The unemployment rate in my country for my age bracket is 38%. The idea I can "just" move to a new a company is not realistic.
They didn't just get made up because it was fun to regulate taxi drivers, they're there to protect people getting into the back of cars with strangers driving them.
Oh, please. They are there because the taxi drivers lobbied for it, going as far as rioting in the streets, beating the other drivers senseless and cutting off traffic in the financial districts, because during the great depression everyone who had a car was competing with them.
Here's an article from 1934: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17056337/
If they can't ensure the source is valid, they need to specify that in the contract with their provider, so that they can know demand a reimbursement from the costs of this action. Ignorance is not an excuse in many legal wrongs, and copyright infringement is no exception, otherwise all those people writing "NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED" on Youtube wouldn't be liable either.
Good. Let them spend their money reimplementing the wheel, it gives us Free Software developers a leg up. The company I work for has already replaced dozens of SAP installations thanks to community shared code.
So... did you ever wonder, do garbagemen take showers before they go to work?
