Adopting a silent stance is still a political stance of abstaining. Frankly, Wikipedia organisation has every right to protest if it means long-term problems with SOPA compared to maintaining the reputation of being neutral. Surely, a Wikip

The current non-intrusive ad list so far: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.tx... I wonder how to get on that list.

IANAL; Can you legally threat them for integrating closed source with your GNU GPL? Might also be a good idea to warn people via your download page. No one knows where else to get it.

Google does this too for the Donate button: http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?answer... For a kicker, you MUST be based in USA otherwise according to their terms, they'll hold the money like PayPal does.

Unfortunately, I left such services due to this. It makes me think their system security is poor and asking to be broken into. No matter what 'security' marketing speak they use, I'll assume they have a similar if not same password policy f

There's password generators (usually within most password managers). Far more better because even mashing the keyboard produces patterns. I bet some of your starting characters are on the left side of keyboard for example and you never use

It is possible with Google to de-index websites. Look up Google chilling effects warnings. The judge can take it to mean that any search engines not complying are in contempt.

There is already internet censorship in Australia: http://www.news.com.au/technology/internet-filter/telstra-op... Even though they say it's voluntary, it's just ISPs adopting it. It's not voluntary for the users. I even quit. Now the gov

Homomorphic encryption is probably something to consider. It'll make your games a million times slower though.

I agree, some people are shy, unsure, etc, and will get defensive when presented with an angry person barking orders. It's not the military. They may find these people won't even talk about their work because they don't want to offend the b

It can be an economic issue as well. Spaceship trips existed for 50 years. But it costs $10,000,000 per person. Not enough tourist potential to offset the costs. Now with many companies and countries entering, it's down to $200,000 per pers

It's against broadcasting rules to publish anything relating to suicide. Especially euthanasia. I gather that exceptions are made for exceptional news.

Legally speaking, wouldn't Valve become liable due to a public apology that allows people to say it's Valve's fault when 'bad stuff' happens? Even though Sony didn't quite apologise, they tried to squash legal action through contract change
