I never get any errors with Firefox on Windows, so this was a interesting article. I will have to try it out some more on my Linux. However, I got loads of "Connection was reset" when trying to use the powerbase site where this article was.

Thank you. This planet needs more people like you on it. I will also do everything in my power to prevent the future I see coming.

Hmm. Interesting statement since the authors have chosen to remain anonymous. You would think it would be impossible to know weather or not they are brilliant, or if they are working for the US security agencies. So you have people working

Very nice, but what if you get a gag order from FBI or NSA? Then you would be required to go to prison if you uphold your promises on the web site and disclose what happened. But I would be interested in your comments regarding this theoret

You have to give them some credit though because its a clever scheme. The "fight crime" argument is always valid since crime always exists. Its the same with "fight terrorism" since terrorism always exists. So if you use those arguments, in

From a pool of candidates being presented to you as choices, preselected to be there because they are all corrupt? If you add a predetermined winner, you have your presidential election system. :)

Why should they be accountable to you? The law enforcement gives them their salary, it protects them, it puts food on their table. What do ordinary citizens do for them, except create work for them to deal with? Edit: Just so you dont think

Like others have pointed out, the latest daily version is at the bottom of the list. But I dont know enough of Go to know if the book content is up to date with the latest changes.

There are many theories. But lets look at what they are doing: - They dont care about their spending (US national debt is insane). - They dont put any money in improving the country (almost everything goes to the war machine). Only a countr

I think you and me and other people into computers will always find ways to avoid big brother. But if 99% of the population is being watched (since the majority will gladly give up privacy for convenience), its not a very free internet anym

You wont see that from massive American companies (except possibly Mozilla who always have had strong interests in consumer privacy and integrity). But there is still alternatives out there. You just have to give up the sites and corporatio

Does anybody even still believe this is about fighting "terrorism"? Its been quite a ridicolous claim ever since 9/11 and its been a decade now. I dont mean to put you or anyone else down, because I know there is an absolutely massive media

Hmm. Isnt the world aware that these sites already provide the government with all the info they could possibly want? You cant get privacy if you use any american company. This should be well known by now. Just for reference, here is a nice

Awesome - I can share even more things in the cloud that will be inspected, categorized and used by Google Services and shared with US authorities on request! Perhaps I can get some more ads now while I surf the web while being mapped by Go

This is more about duckduckgo than duckduckhack, but Im starting to love this search engine. Found out about the "s:d" command that sorts all the hits in descending order.. combined with the arrow keys and the "h" key to get back to the sea

The dark forces behind these organisations couldnt care less about music being pirated. What they really want is a censored, controlled internet where free speach is not anonymous. You have to understand that the Internet is the only medium

You mean we wont have someone tracking us, watching us, recording us 24/7 anymore? What a shame. Google is creepy. I think the web would be better off without their prying eyes. Specially since they are in bed with the US government just li

Thankfully, the internet is a distributed network full of computers. You can block the road between the user and his destination, but all he needs is another computer to forward the traffic for him and the block is useless. The ISP's knows

Things like these are only strange if you expect the legal system to be fair. Clearly its not. I think its a parody. :) The young guys behind Pirate Bay are the kind of heroes that hardly exists today because they dont give in to the threat

Im glad this happened, because while painful, it makes people think about their total dependence on a corporation being nice to them. You can take back your power by using smaller corporations for essential services such as email, making su
