3) In the USA I am not aware of ANY websites that are blocked by a court or government order. Even the RIAA and MPAA have not been able to accomplish that one. I'm sorry that the UK and other European governments have decided to implement thought police, but as an American there's not really anything I can do about it.

Sorry I had to be the one to ruin that rose-colored worldview of yours, but we (the USA) don't even screw around with the blocking part; we seize the domain and pretend the site never existed. It's kind of a big deal.

And that has been "Invalidating You Argument 101". Don't forget, there's a paper due on "Using 1940's Racial Slurs to Achieve Maximum Irrelevance". I hope to see very creative use of those ridiculous arguments.

A pipe is directing the output of one command into the input for another. This way you can chain a bunch of utilities together and get very robust functionality from very simple "parts". Its part of the unix design philosophy, using a collection of tools that each do one thing very well. For instance, to find a specific package that you know is installed:

yum list installed | grep somePackage

You can't be serious. If you don't want your name on your profile, then what's the fucking point? What should go there then, a 404?

I'm saying that placing some anger on an entire country trying to hack our citizens seems like a good outlet for their 'creative energy'.

Anonymous doesn't have citizens.
