Your reasoning is very simplistic and flawed. Let me iterate over a few key issues with it. I cannot predict what third party integrations a given site uses prior to visiting it. Even though I use a myriad of plugins that block third party origins, such as RequestPolicy, when I visit websites using googleapis and other $google_widgets, the content is not available, as it relies on Goog serving the content. There are multitude of other origins, such as *.amazonaws.com, without anything clearly identifying the content owner in the URL. Some of such sites are linked from/. articles every day. Including today's articles. Furthermore, there are sites that are completely unusable until you enable a dozen+ of 3-rd party origins and widgets. Are you suggesting I should stick to the few sites that do not attempt to feed my browsing data to the collectors? Maybe I'll just stick to my LAN and cut the cord? That would be 'safe', no?
You are obviously clueless. The issue is cross-domain tracking, as in where someone uses one of the FB, Goog, or other 'widgets' or advertising integrations on their own site. Could be something as 'unrelated' as using Goog Analytics. You visit site X, the analytics code collects information about your visit and stores it on Goog servers. Then you visit site Y and code used to embed youtube video does the same. Rinse, Repeat.
Why? Hmmm... let's see. - trying to demonize "hackers", while - trying to break DNS, while - trying to stir up political agenda. Also, because SOPA, DRM, etc.
Well, you do not "have to install extra software on every server", you can have Chef or Puppet or even Ansible do that for you. While you're sipping your coffee and watch it run:)
Precisely. If the OP could install the stack, he/she should also be able to automate report generation and delivery of the report, so that it can rot away a piece of disk space waiting until it is needed.
When hosting your app in the cloud, regardless of provider, it is considered best practice to design for failure. That means your code should anticipate any/all stack layers to become unavailable. If you're doing it right, a service failure should be detected and automatic failover executed. Alternatively, a new instance should be provisioned, bootstrapped and thrown into production. Think: infrastructure as code. Welcome to the 21-st century.
Yes. Also, this is one of these scenarios, where virtualization pays. You can simply spin up a new set of boxes (ideally via puppet,chef, whatever) and cut over to it once the new cluster has been thoroughly tested and tested some more. Human eye watching/managing the cutover still recommended, if not required.
The comparison that has been coming to my head, regardless of whether I was self- or otherwise- employed is: coders are the plumbers of the Internet age. Furthermore, we are the electricians, the elevator drivers, the janitors, the security guards, the dealers, the cops, the architects. All generalized comparisons apply, because the Net is a representation of the world. Slightly skewed, a representation nonetheless. I am proud of the being an Internet plumber and cheers to others who spend their days trying make it work smoothly.
Furthermore, whatever has been invented/improved this year is that - 'invented' as in 'here already' and if valuable enough, unlikely to disappear anytime soon and the time will come to discuss and dissect. Snowden's revelations, on the other hand, seem to be affecting more people right now than any new inventions that and as such tend to take a larger share of the collective mind share.

Dear Ruby:
Please leave Chef behind and go and die in some dark corner. Take rails with you.
Thanks.
There's a Firefox plugin called 'Firebug'. It let's you see HTTP requests and responses. You could use that to see if what you type is sent immediately to FB.
Apples to oranges maybe, but:
It's been called the 'M' button for quite a while now and installed in certain 'M-class' automobiles.
The Ford version will probably end up being a toy version of it - you can do a burnout once you engage, but for the front brakes to release you'll have to disengage the 'B' button. You know, the 'safe' way.
Cliff Burton was older and more experienced a musician, than the rest of the band. I think he had the most input and contribution to the early sound of Metallica. Cliff 'em All was unnecessary, but they were young and had to have guilty feelings - it may have been more than just the record company decision to make/release it. Regardless, up until the Black album, there were few weak points in their released music, the Black album showed a new direction, wildly different production focus (the deep basses, etc), After that, like you said, all downhill. The fan antagonism with Napster was the final nail. Everything after that was just embarrassment. Still, after I heard Ride The Lightning, I just wanted to play metal. Learned guitar because of it, and now play Classical music... Long time, many musical experiences since those days, but I still enjoy a proper shredding and am grateful for the early inspiration. Would buy James a beer any day of the week for that. Lars? Great drummer, but no beer from me.
I am undoing my mod points, but had to chime in as a long standing metal fan (Venom, Celtic Frost anyone?).
You are saying that long hair is the key to success/fan ident/rockiness/whatever in Metal (being loose here with the definition the genre). I say bullshit. Slayer's Kerry King shaved his head several years ago and they still pack mid-large venues. I know, I never miss their shows. Keep in mind that the true Metal groups were rocking the late 70's (Maiden, WASP, etc), 80's and some 90's. Now it's just mainstreamed pseudo-metal, at least in the US - some guys in Europe have managed to rock in the true form and style.
No hair required if you can shred like a champ. Sorry to see this, but now kids think Marilyn Manson is heavier than Slayer, Venom or even first releases of Metallica.
But I do agree that James could grow his hair, get back to drinking and rock. Not sure about Kirk, Lars, but I know for sure that Lemmy is the last real Rocknrolla.

I am responsible for the well-being of close to a hundred servers and run several computers on my home net. Have been for over a decade and I am yet to see one becoming a bot.
Hyperbole much?

That seems 'legit', given the other events in Ferguson. FTW.
Or groupon saw an opportunity to (cheaply) get some publicity and jumped at it. Publicity stunt?
I for one *love* news from the future. Please post more.
Well, this is good for the passengers not necessarily for the airlines affected. I'd call that good and in line with common sense.

Dear John,
Please tell us how you really feel about this?
Thanks!
You've confused liver with brainz, dr. Lecter.

There's a Firefox plugin called 'Firebug'. It let's you see HTTP requests and responses. You could use that to see if what you type is sent immediately to FB.
And open it up for everyone on the Internet to be able to review. That's the only way to avoid sabotage. Github it.
