Think you got your analogies mixed up a bit here.

Searching a house would be equal to searching the phone itself, and there they can look at anything stored on it regardless of when it was first stored. What they are asking here would be much more equal to having the USPS, FedEx, UPS and such copy (or at least make an exact record of the contents) anything shipped through them and store it for two years+ so that the police can later go back and view what was actually shipped. It's one thing recording when something was shipped/transmitted, it's something completely different recording and storing the contents of said shipment/transmission.

This one is just another step towards completely legislating away personal responsibility. The bullshit is those who say "they made me fat", since it was their own choice to eat/drink it in the first place.
And these mandates to make fastfood restaurants display calorie counts, what makes normal restaurants "immune" to whatever "problem" the fastfood restaurants were accused of.

How about this then for the absolute "anti-fattie" law. You can only consume a maximum of 2k calories per day (might have higher limits for certain jobs), would you really support such a law?
What then, a law that makes you exercise the equivalent of a 5 mile run every day? I mean, it's for your own good, right.

Limiting the drink size will do NOTHING since if they really want it they will just buy more of them to compensate. Thus the only thing this law will do in practice is increase the total costs.

So you are saying that they have to rank competitors services HIGHER than their own even if their own actually are better than the competitors?

Good point.

One another point is that there is no way for Google to automatically know when/if a certain site/page gets stale, saturated or even abandoned without manual intervention. One of their metrics (afaik) is the number of click-throughs per time unit, and if they get tons for one (G+) and only a few for others (FB and Twitter) then it's naturally going to assume that the first one is more popular now and rank it higher. It would have been something different if FB and Twitter were relegated to page 2 and 3 instead of "just" spot 2 and 3.

There is no way to actually know if they did it intentionally without examining the algorithm Google uses and ALL of the relevant data that the ranking is based upon, which I seriously doubt any court system will be examining. Basically this will be a ruling based on what others think has been done, and how good Google can convince others that their pre-conceived ideas are wrong.

So once they've starved that financing option the guerrilla and government will find another way to finance their "war", and once that is shut down they will find another and then another and so on and so on, but none of this will actually contribute to a resolution of the actual root of the conflict, especially when they are starving the entire country of money and not just the conflict.

Transmission has never had RSS support, that has always been done through third-party software.

Personally, I think FlexGet is superior to uTorrents RSS handling.

There is an UNofficial Windows port, it's primarily the QT interface but his working a daemon version as well. http://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw/

You don't seem to get it. The communication between the different threads can easily overshadow the gain of parallel processing in realtime interactive environments compared to just using a single "thread".
