I don't agree with this. I didn't start to use linux until right before i started studying CS. Now I use linux every day and I've got a nice little server running linux. I would consider myself proficient with basic unix tools.
You don't think extraditing Assange "would open up the government to domestic criticism"? There would be riots and the ruling party would never, ever be elected again.
Sudoku is a variant of the graph-coloring problem which most certainly qualifies as CS and CS probably qualifies as math. Graph-coloring (and sudoku) is NP-complete btw.
I think demand is just about as high as it will go. Price is pretty insignificant when buying books. Most people won't read books even if they are free. Sure there may be more people who will buy a book for $1 than for $10 but not 100 times as many:P
Not if excessive use where penalized. For example if the ISP used token buckets it would give a small burst of high bandwidth, high priority packets or longer burst of less bandwidth but still high priority. Excessive use could lower the priority until the bucket has been refilled.
That's not what the article talks about. He talks about TCP package buffering, not video buffering. Queueing up tons of packages with small amounts of bandwidth gives horrible latency is the point. Not really knowledgeable about that stuff so I can't tell if he is correct in that there is a problem though.
She'll be too closely related to have a significant probability of being sexually attracted to the singer (even in the absence of being raised together).
Anonymous is (in this case) demanding that wikileaks be treated fairly (fair from their point of view) and protesting the scum like paypal, visa and mc cutting wikileaks off.
It's called "revenge" and isn't necessarily very rational. They probably hope that this will make companies think twice the next time they try to silence free speech.
Take a look at LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon). The sourcecode is on sourceforge and everything=). An encyclopedia dramatica page on the subject can be found here
Uhmm... The media mentioned SD all the time and kept pointing out that SD were a threat. Sure they did not invite them to debates perhaps but they hardly ignored them.
Privacy party or integrity party would be better imho since that is the true core of the pirate party. Regardless, I don't think there is anything wrong with calling yourself the pirate party. It gives a bit of extra publicity in the beginning and people will become used the name eventually and will think nothing of it.
Huh? I wasn't aware of the large amounts of terrorism that was occurring at that time. Are you confusing guerilla tactics with terrorism? Also, violence has rarely solved a problem without creating a bigger one.

I do believe he is referring to SkipScreen. It's pretty awesome.

Most likely both are right. Most get annihilated in the atmosphere but some make it through.

It's a general rule, not a hard law.
Easily fixed by using noscript or adblock. The advertisers only have themselves to blame, really.

Actually that is not correct. People tend to think that people similar to oneself are more attractive. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_sexual_attraction
Wow! I never thought I'd see the day when a comment that is so "anti-capitalistic" get modded +5 on slashdot!
That was what their attorneys said as well. Didn't help them. The whole trial was very weird.
That doesn't make it better, unfortunately.

The raw bandwidth from these attacks are nowhere near enough to take out anything. I believe I read that it was something like 20 MBit/s or something.

I can't seem to get that to work. I'm simply getting redirected back to idle=(
Got a mortgage? Too bad, someone three states over called for a strike, so you dont get to work this month.
What? You still get pay if you are on strike.

They are hardly swastica-waving. They are slightly more covert about their racism.
