Looks cleaner than some of the Perl I've seen :)

Maybe not in an information society, but it made a lot of sense during the industrial revolution when workers were being exploited by captialists..

Of course I prefer our system, but you have to admit that communism has been very prolific. It's not an awful idea; it works to some degree.

How long would a chinese soldier last if they refused to obey orders?

These are people we're talking about, not governments. You're only wishing harm on regular people.

Also, "There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere." --Isaac Asimov

Nothing you could do or say could convince me that is a good idea.

It's not as simple as that. The Cuban embargo has stifled Cuba's growth and left it so that people don't have cell phones or internet at all. Standing up for Cubans' rights and refusing to deal with their government ultimately badly hurt common citizens.

Providing search services to Chinese citizens and letting their government rewrite results as they see fit may be better than denying them search altogether. If Google pulls out, the Chinese will still have censored search results, but from an inferior search provider.

US undergrad, US graduate, world.

Next will probably be an application that records audio from the cell phone microphone and tells what you're typing from the sound of the keys. Or even what you're seeing on the screen.

Not to mention that these are MIT students. #1 computer science program in the world. Not exactly a representative sample.

Not that there even is an aids virus. I thought it was HIV.

Well, Comcast is subject to regulation because they're granted a monopoly on local infrastructure and have taken uncountable piles of taxpayer money to build their network on public property, so they can't just do whatever they want.

Unauthorized access sounds criminal to me. Penalty ceilings probably go way up too, and Zuckerberg's billions are probably starting to look tempting.

And it's not like the advertisers are losing money on it - you'd never buy anything from an ad.

I would never even click on an ad. They're not losing any business by me blocking ads, and anyway I'm not obligated to render every piece of data that comes in on the wire exactly as they want me to render it.

Google Chrome comes out on top and the writer seems to make a good case for it.

The most interesting conclusions seem to be:
-Firefox is the most memory efficient with multiple tabs (!)
-Opera uses a lot of memory
-No browser really has a performance advantage across multiple sites (for example Facebook is really optimized for IE for some reason)
-Even professional writers don't know how to use the word "faze"

When the summary is taken straight from the article, it's a good idea to at least link to them..

Maybe because nobody can figure out what it is with such a useless search term as "Go".

Not to mention easily confused with the game Go.
