Considering they do not pay for these articles, what financial risk are they taking?

That depends.
How big of a hole in relation to the surface area of a parachute do you consider giant?

If you read the letter they sent to US based search engines you will find they are only talking about FTC Act Section 5 which I believe is codified in 15 USC 45(a). http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/45

If you read that section of the law you will find that it mostly just applies to US businesses.

Do you have any actual evidence that the FTC is trying to assert authority over a non-US based business that runs a search engine?

Your premise is incorrect. The quote you used in your first sentence is from Karl Marx, a socialist not a liberal. Socialism and liberalism are quite different in many ways.

Assuming you have sysrq keys enabled, you can hit alt-sysrq-s, wait for the sync to complete, alt-sysrq-u, alt-sysrq-b. This performs a filesystem sync then remounts all filesystems read-only then boots the system. Also if you have a stuck mount point you can always use a lazy umount (umount -l) to remove it from filesystem hierarchy so you don't need to reboot in the first place.

I think they have subtle differences.
Chicken shit seems synonymous with scared. It's usually spelled as two words.
Horse shit and bullshit are often interchangeable and mean nonsense, stupid or untrue. However bullshit is more popular as a word.
Bullshit also is the only *shit phrase I know of with a easy to use 2-letter abbreviation; bs.
You forgot to mention batshit. As in "You must be batshit crazy to think that this chicken shit outfit gives horse shit about your bullshit."

There's a legal difference between an executive order and something that's not an EO like what some media outlets are now calling executive actions. The Supreme Court of the U.S. ruled in Mississippi v. Johnson, 71 U.S. 475 (1866) that EOs help the President execute his duties under the powers granted to him in the U.S. Constitution.

This list of 23 executive actions are just things he intends to do. That's all. He's not even done them yet. Have you actually read them? They're things like nominate a new ATF director. That's within his power. He doesn't even need to pre-declare like this that he's going to do it. He can just do it. The Senate still gets to approve or disapprove of his nomination. It's not granting him any power he doesn't already have.

So, I say again, what specifically is the EXTRAORDINARY POWER that you or SourceFrog believe that President Obama just granted himself?

There have been 0 executive orders made recently. The last executive order President Obama made was Executive Order #13635 on Dec 27th, 2012 and concerned federal employees' pay. Many news organization incorrectly reported that Obama signed 23 executive orders when in fact he did not. They have now changed their wording to say executive actions. At least one reporter, from Salon.com, admitted to incorrectly reporting this.

What executive orders have been made since the economic crisis that grant extraordinary powers? Please be specific.

FAT filesystems are traditionally used on USB flash drives, SD cards and other removable storage to copy files between computers, cameras, printers and other devices which may not be attached to each other on a network. Sneakernet is a term for when you move files via removable storage between computers instead of using a network. For example, if you want to copy several gigabytes of data from one location to another and it would take several hours to complete via the Internet or only take 15 minutes to drive a USB stick to the target location.

What law has Piers Morgan allegedly broken that stipulates deportation as a possible sentence?

If I had to guess it would be 1998 but I'm not sure.

It is no longer entirely true that e-mail is not encrypted. Many SMTP servers support encryption using SSL or TLS when communicating with another SMTP server. For example here is an example of an SMTP server receiving an e-mail from one of Google's gmail SMTP servers.

Aug 7 13:33:28 x postfix/smtpd[22642]: setting up TLS connection from mail-gh0-f182.google.com[209.85.160.182]
Aug 7 13:33:28 x postfix/smtpd[22642]: Anonymous TLS connection established from mail-gh0-f182.google.com[209.85.160.182]: TLSv1 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA (128/128 bits)

I believe this behavior is defined by RFC 3207
If you manage a Postfix SMTP server and have not enabled TLS support I would suggest you read

If Apple's app store started banning users with jailbroken phones that would push even more people to Google's Android based phones. Alternatively jailbroken iPhone users could point their phones to alternate IOS app stores which would be sure to pop up should Apple start behaving like you describe.
