Right. They're just doing it to make a political statement and pull in donations/new members. Maybe they could get a religious organization that Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was a member of in Denver to join as a plaintive and argue that

Yes. But, it's worth adding that MIT also uses a Shibboleth implementation (locally called Touchstone). On many core sites Touchstone handles authentication to the specific web servers. Touchstone itself can be authenticated to with ei

As much as I wanted to install their app, I never did because I didn't trust them. I clicked to the requested permissions screen a few times. But, I just couldn't get myself to go any further. Now, I feel vindicated for my paranoi

Google also does this if you proxy your requests through a cloud IP space. I proxy my Google searches through rackspace IPs and I was given a CAPTCHA on nearly every search. I actually stopped using Google because of this (and privacy/

I don't know what request throttling solutions are available for nginx. But, for apache there are modules and scripts/code that can rate limit traffic and requests from specific IPs. Depending on the size of the botnet attacking, rate limit

Less than 1% seems low to me. Also, we'd be talking about options or stock (likely RSUs) not cash. GOOG was trading around $390/sh 4 years ago. So, if 4 years ago you were offered $150K (which I still think is low) in RSUs @ $390/sh for you
