The relative power of the output of significantly above average intellects of the world massively dwarfs the monetary assets of the 'one percenters'. Give me the intellectual output of 20 grade students of my choice and I can own the white house and Greece in a decade.

Yeah, why do we keep demonizing the usage of poppies and hemlock! They are natural therefore good!

If not by the FBI, then by various investigators (opposition research). Skeletons don't always restrict public service, you just need to know about them to handle them.

Rapidshare does not pay users. Rapidshare responds to takedown requests. Rapidshare has been active in court.

Considering left/right is an (outdated) method of specifying economic values, claiming (mis)usage of an civil rights trampling law to quell protests is wholly illogical.

Difference: The reference implementation is open source.

I see that you are attempting to make the troll 2.0 look stupid, by criticizing the very nature of trolling 2.0.

Trolling 2.0 is an attempt to herd a segment of the readership of the materials to be caught in an uncomfortable zone of cognitive dissonance. In this case, it is between their confirmation bias ( the bias is towards low level technologies) and their desire to not be associated with stupidity. This was poorly executed, but in an ideal case, a significant segment of the target would, for a brief moment, be highly inclined to accept and internalize the stupidity, then a painful moment of doubt is to occur, etc, etc, etc

So that's Google's master plan for Android dominance.

for each phone: id = secure_get_uuid() phone.flash(id) db.add(id)

But this was a beating for copyright infringement-- a clear case of interstate commerce.

10 year old equipment? No. But NT4 was released 15 years ago, and was expected to work on hardware considerably older than that. In the mid 90s, security was a joke. Every operating system had a plethora of unpatched, often public, remote root vulnerabilities.

The real question is, "Is there any good reason this was never changed?".

OpenBSD WAS more secure in-so-far as its default installation was and is very minimal, and somewhat security oriented. When this was compared to relatively bloated default installations of other distributions/operating systems, it was quite reasonable to consider OpenBSD more secure.
However, as the number of programmer hours on other systems continues to increase relative to OpenBSD, it is unlikely that OpenBSD is significantly more secure than some other modern operating systems (even in this biased criteria).

.... he was implying that perhaps 'cyberattacks' were the method by which sufficient wheel-schematics were acquired, not that it is immoral or odd that they would attempt to acquire such.

I have it right here:
