For the rich, the poor are always terrorists threatening to use democracy to take away the psychopathic power of the rich.

This is nothing more the rich versus poor and keeping the poor down and under the thumb. The poor now includes the middle class whom the rich consider the greatest threat.

Screen real estate will always be screen real estate. When it comes to do anything once it under say 12 inches it might as well be a phone say no bigger than around 5 inches and the phone does need a blue tooth rechargeable stylus that you use as a hand set (speaker microphone) so you don't need to hold up that large screen to your head and you can use it as a vid phone.

My regular screen is up to 24 inches, I would find anything under 12 inches horribly cramped and honestly think unrealistic in anything other than the marketing world of illusions as being suitable for creating content.

Seriously marketing hype to get people to buy content consumption tablets as devices to create content will simply be proven false and collapse the market. Small tablets are nothing more than a third device, requiring a real computer and a smart phone to make up for small tablet deficiencies. Personally I'd push them even further back behind a big screen computer (45 inches plus), although a tablet would be a useful remote for it (but I'd get the screen before the tablet and seek to have one thrown in with the deal).

It is not a think tank, it is a stink tank. A large public relations firm whose job is to create media to promote the wealth of their donors. No lie to be repeated again and again.

An illusory edifice to sell advertising. Something empty headed politicians bought and paid for by lobbyists can hang their hate.

So they are bitching about the marketing entities ability to promote the agendas of it's donors. Basically a stream of Machiavellian twisted and distorted content and, for all the world content created by psychopaths for psychopaths.

Looking like an actual real world example of James Bond plot. People who spend the working lives plotting and scheming as the minions of some truly enormously bloated ego's, emperors of the world insanity levels, oh my, the Koch(head) boys have wandered right way out there.

The real question here is "is the Heartland Institutes intent criminal" and should it be raided for a whole range of conspiratorial acts.

This is really just a media question, about psuedo celebrities, journalists, maybe sales, et al. For by far the majority of nerds and geeks a non-issue.

So something that needs to be sorted out contractually between the identity, their agent, lawyers and the company to whom that public identity (often just a created faÃade which has very little to do with who the person really is) was contracted.

Such it is much like a person creating an anime character, and the person, the company and what ever public relations services are used to created an identity for that character to promote what ever content and advertising that is produced in that characters identity.

So in the modern internet age who owns that 'anime' character, that marketing illusion, the person in whose name it was created, their agent, the company that contracted them, the public relations firms that worked to bring them to life (well zomboid existence, who is the zomboid those that follow it or the object they follow).

Well, as it all revolves around bullshit, let the bullshit lawyers, deal with the bullshit contracts, deal with the bullshit public relations agencies. When it comes to bullshit, there are no solutions except maybe dung bettles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dung_beetle ;D. Don't know how that helps people who live in the world of PR=B$ (lies for profit) but then again I don't think anything ever really will.

Moron, we are talking average users, where the numbers are, just like you the sub-100s'. The bulk, were corporate executives target their shenanigans. Plenty of solutions for smarter users in fact the majority of smarter users would not even bother with that feature. Retentive types that need every single thing clarified and defined, rather than most things not delineated are obviously regard the majority, the average.

What is fascinating is that companies like godaddy are basically cutting their own throats. The current incumbent mass media outlets are intent on shutting down all competition, that want it back to the way it was last century, where they colluded and controlled the public mind scape. They were the political elite, empty headed narcissist and psychopathic schemers ruled the country (they still do but they know they are on the way out).

Of course when they shut down all opposition everything not part of the mass media cartel, the cartel that self hosts, what business will godaddy have.

Obfuscate your access. Use tools like trackmenot http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/ to obfuscate your searches. Now you just need additional tools to randomly access web sites to obfuscate web access. Same can be done to background send email to mutual member's of a random email network (random addresses with random content content purposefully tongue in cheek).

Floor some privacy invasive freaks desk with ten thousand times as much stuff as you actually access.

I found a simple fun site http://www.randomwebsite.com/ for when you are bored.

Expensive or not, it is just another sickening grab for greed. Students already have to pay for textbooks and access to online articles. They are now being charge extra for a link to what they are already paying for. If you can't see the transparent disingenuous grab for cash at the expense of those already struggling to feed the greed of the already rich. You paid for the content in fees already, but wait that's not enough you have to pay more to be told where to access what you have already paid for. Will this be a one off, absolutely not, just a sign of more charges to come.

Let's take this argument to it's realisic conclusion - Google Chrome password lockin. What easy access to you web site, you better stick to using Chrome or else look forward to pen and paper copying 20 random characters, including numbers, letters, capitalisation and special chars, with different passwords for each and every site you connect to, get one char wrong and your stuck. Some like banks will definitely not email you a replacement password so that you can immediately reconnect.

Easy solution go with pass phrases they are easier to remember, words between 4 and 6 characters long, three words, that's 12 to 18 chars, those with mixed language capabilities have a slight advantage and only so "Googleveryobvious" and your done ;).

Firstly you fallacy in river thinking. All calculations are based upon average flows, not only for the nuclear power plant but for irrigators. When flows are low, generally during warmer than average conditions, the irrigators continue to draw their licensed amount. This generates an enormous impact upon flows. Less water at a higher temperature. Now comes the Nuclear power plant, running at full load to feed air conditioners. Already excessively warm water is raised to higher temperatures triggering fish kills, the fish kills alter oxygen levels generating even worse conditions.

Nothing, absolutely nothing in isolation. Regardless of how often corporation fob off the responsibilities by pretending their actions occur in isolation completely ignoring how impacts are compounded by multiple loads upon the environment.
