Re:What is with the UK and all this surveillance a
Are you talking about the "Occupy xyz" thing? It was interesting, but un-guided and seems to me to have pretty much fizzled out.

Re:Mod parent up!
I wrote this:
http://code.google.com/p/flyswatter/
It uses Mozilla/Google Breakpad for the heavy lifting and wraps some lightweight GUI around it and gives you a MUCH MUCH smaller implementation of a web interface that doesn't require 6 days and your first born child to configure.
The GUI wrapper is currently Windows only, I've just not had the time to port it over to my Mac apps yet. Breakpad itself however, is not Windows specific, it works on Linux and OSX as well, and you can throw it on any OSX App bundle by modifying the plist for the app. I think you can use LD_PRE_LOAD on Linux to add it to any app as well but don't quote me on that one.
I've not done any documentation worth mentioning, but if theres interest I'll put effort into it.

Re:It should be illegal.....
> And as far as deleting backups on redundant servers, it sounds like it could be done with a few lines of code.
You have obviously never done anything at this scale. Deleting all copies of information on a significant system is a very hard problem to solve. Demonstrating to an auditor that you've deleted everything makes it even harder.
There's actually an entire Defense Department specification/procedure that attempts to describe how to do it: http://www.google.com/?q=DOD+5015

Re:And what might influence culture?
All are action are the result of the chemical engine known as 'the brain'. No exceptions.
You are your brain. In fact, you have very little control over your actions. Most, if not all decision you, and me, and everyone will make, are made before you conscious begins to think about them.
You're trying to make it some sort of mystical fairy land. It is not.
I would like to see a study involving decision of changing ones mind, or coming to a new and unexpected conclusion about something. However fro everyday tasks, the chemical have told you what decision ti make.

Living in Chicago is more dangerous than Iraq or Afghanistan.
Also, in Iraq families can own a fully-automatic AK-47 for personal defense. In Chicago, you can't even keep a gun outside a safe.

This from a Country...
When I studied for my driver's license in the UK I thought it humorous that several study courses recommended putting the handbrake on at stops to in part prevent the brake lights from dazzling the driver behind:
Using the footbrake is also antisocial and can be dangerous because brake lights can dazzle the driver behind, especially at night and in poor weather conditions. Smart Driving[1]
Apparently laser to the eye isn't as anti-social as leaving one's brake lights on at a stop at night.

Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
1. While I agree that safety should be a concern you have fallen for the fallacy of treating the symptom, instead of treating the cause. We all knowing making it illegal to drive while using a phone, drunk driving or without a license stops crashes. OH WAIT.
2. Why are you ignoring the greater problem of Alcohol?

Re:Tell me about Russian politics
Russian politics right now are a hostage to the paradox of plenty or 'resource curse' - it's a problem that raw resource rich nations are facing, which is that the entire economy of a nation that can export near unlimited natural resources (especially energy), rotates around those exports and the government grows based on this export. The problem then becomes that the government is very rich, the individuals who are directly involved with the mining/export business become very rich, but the rest of the population is not allowed to voice their opinions, and they are lulled into complacency by a heavy system of taxes and rules (none of the rules apply to the ruling class, so it's a corrupt system), all of this destroys competition to government.
The point is to prevent any competition to the ruling class and the mechanism is to ensure that nobody becomes influential and powerful enough, that there is no solid middle class - business class, that becomes a competitor to those in power.
The reason why those in power don't want any competition is obvious - they get enormous amounts of money from the mineral/energy exporting businesses (I don't know the precise numbers, but I heard Putin has over 40 Billion US dollar fortune himself at this point. Certainly his personal wealth is huge, here is a little house he built in a very nice place on the Black sea.)
So to prevent this money waterfall from stopping, they do everything possible, including murder of journalists and theft of the elections, corruption of the courts, destruction of personal liberties.
The people who the top mafia bosses (like Putin) surround themselves with also want a nice piece of that pie, but they don't necessarily get to suck the oil from a pipe, so they end up stealing businesses, racketeering, profiting from organized crime, indeed organizing the criminal structures themselves, stealing property directly and indirectly, etc.etc. Starting your own private business in a country like that is almost always doomed to failure from the very start.
But the money exists within the country, after all, the oil/gas/metals/wood/whatever it's all exported, so there is some money, so obviously there is trade with other countries. But because of the liberty crisis and because of all the criminality, the injustice that people see in courts there is almost no private domestic manufacturing taking place.
There is almost no manufacturing and many of the farmers who try hard end up attacked, sometimes murdered and their farms (case of government forcing a chicken farmer out of business with false back-taxes), lands and equipment stolen and in many cases then just sold for scrap and destroyed.
Because of that huge population lives off scraps and on a dole and the government in power provides that 'dole'. The problem is that the people are forced into poverty by government, where many of them would otherwise do something useful, start businesses, manufacturing, farming, mining of their own. But the government prevents them from this, the government is set up to prevent a business sector from growing and business middle class from appearing. A strong business class is a strong middle class that does not want to be ruled by a bunch of murdering thugs - dictators.

More importantly, however, I guess they get to skip the airport security lines, etc. Flying from Moffet is all about convenience and (conspicuously) living it large.

Re:Do you even bother to edit submissions anymore?
Oh, can I try?
Evangelos Georgiadis of MIT and Doron Zeilberger of Rutgers, along with Zeiberger's computer Shalosh B. Ekhad, have written a paper entitled, "How to Gamble If You're In a Hurry," in which they propose new ways of studying gambling from a mathematical perspective. They criticize previous scholarship following the Kolmogorov measure-theoretic paradigm, including Kelly (1956), Breiman (1961), and Dubins and Savage (1976), on the grounds that the mechanisms they provide for winning do not take into account real-life constraints such as the finite divisibility of money, the finite duration of the game, the finite resources of the opponents, and the possibility of uneven payoff in the game. Rather than proposing a single strategy that provides an optimal outcome to an unrealistic scenario, Georgiadis and Zeilberger provide a Maple package that calculates the best strategy given a set of real-world criteria, including the probability of winning a game, the amount of money you have, and the time within which you must complete your gambling. The paper thus represents a movement from using mathematics to derive single solutions to highly abstract problems to using algorithms that can generate optimal solutions for more concrete problems. Also, Zeiberger advances an attempt at cuteness by putting condescending words about humanity in his computer's mouth, the irony of which is heightened by the realization that Shalosh B. Ekhad is nothing more than Zeiberger's ventriloquist dummy.

User interface as a message from the designer
The best advice I've found for thinking about user interfaces is by CS. De Souza, the author of the
Semiotics of Human-Computer Interaction. She calls the interface a 'design deputy', meaning that the interface is to be seen as a message from the designer saying "this is what I know of you and what I think will serve you best".The most the designer knows about the users, the better tailored the interface will be. A designer may indeed be condescending when giving that message if she doesn't really know enough about the targeted user.

Re:Just use WebM for the web
The native browsers of two largest OS, IE and Safari, only support H.264.
Two important things of note here.
First, on Windows, only IE9 supports HTML5 video at all. Past versions of IE are still more popular than IE9, largely because it's not bundled with any OS out of the box. It'll take some time to change.
Second, IE does support WebM, just not out of the box. It requires a separate download of the codec. I don't know for sure, but I think that Safari also supports installable codecs for HTML5 video on OS X. It definitely does not support them on iOS.

Re:Switching to Chrome on Linux?

There's an extension Adblock which is similar to AdBlock Plus. It isn't identical, but other than issues with video-embedded ads (which I remember having with Adblock Plus occasionally) it works just as well as far as I'm concerned.
As other posters have mentioned Chromium. Here are the major differences. "User metrics" and "crash reporting" are the only two differences with potential privacy issues, AFAIK.

Ah good old Kim
There's a brief article about him on Wikipedia. He's an old hacker who made money by inside trading and later set up the Mega* sites brand with Megaupload, Megavideo and Megaporn along others. On Google Video there's 6 years old video when he goes to Monaco grand prix and spends $10 million over the weekend for all kinds of parties.
He's been awfully silent lately, but lately he bought NZ$30 million mansion from New Zealand and got residency there. After that he sponsored $500,000 fireworks for capital of NZ in celebration of residency.
