any scheme oil companies come up with to try this is likely to pollute just as badly.
At least they'll be drinking Perrier.

However, if it refers to blocking any unsigned applets
Let's hope so.
it's not going to go down well.
Why? Is clicking 'allow' the first time you visit a page too much effort for you?
(assuming that's what it does)
I imagine most people can just whitelist one or two domains then everything will be business as usual (except the entire world-wide-web won't be a minefield any more...)
I never said it did.
(Though it might if you buy your consoles down the pub...)
Finally, an admission that they'll never be able to make it secure, that blacklisting everything by default is the only way forward.
...which is why you have an 'online' and an 'offline' console.
Which requires advanced modifications to the console including soldering.
If anybody's being disingenuous it's you.
The 'sheeple' all know you can just take your console to a modding shop and they'll do the scary advanced modifications for $20 (including soldering!).
Most people are stupid and like shallow entertainment.
You don't have to be stupid to enjoy shallow entertainment.
What if it was your neighbor reading your mail? Would you still shrug it off?
Yeah, It certainly is absurd. I can't even imagine it if you factor in the hardware to run it on. Assuming you spent half of it on hardware, you'd have $8 billion worth of hardware (which is just plain ridiculous).
You don't get it at all.
Before you even start buying hardware or writing code you have to build some modern new offices and fill them with nice desks, leather chairs, etc. to attract the right sort of people for the management positions. Then you need hot young secretaries around the place and plenty of thousand-pound lunches to discuss their six figure salaries, annual bonuses and exactly what model of luxury car they'd like to drive to work.
Only then can you start the actual "IT" part of the project.
The fact that Windows wants you to reactivate would be your first clue.
You think the NSA would go to all that trouble but not have a valid Windows activation key...?
So? I have access to a number of Pre-Paid phones.
Lucky you. There's no such thing as an anonymous, pre-paid phone in most countries.
This.
Few social networking sites... almost none... are really able to figure out your real name. They might ask you to give a "real name"... and you can do that... but it doesn't have to be your real name.
You can be Bruce Wayne... Or George Washington... or whatever. How are they going to stop it?
The latest trend is towards sending a message to your mobile phone with an account creation code.
Why do you ask...?
Oh, for mod points.
