How the hell am I supposed to "Wolfram Alpha" something? No one will ever say that.
Well if someone told me ten years ago I would be using the world 'google' instead of 'search' for the web I would have laughed my socks off. Not something I do often incidentally.
Unfortunately they are much more likely to change the law making it illegal to track politicians than they are to rescind increased power/surveillance legislation for them.
The value of trademarks is psychological. Most people attribute value, warmth, and comfort to a name.
Blimey! I think I'm using trademarks wrong. The ones I use just let me identify a product. You get Value! and Warmth! and Comfort!, I want my money back!

The whole "illegal enemy combatant" thing is immoral
Like many state-sponsored practices which are immoral, it's designed to intimidate.
Whilst slashdot readers are well aware of hackers' sudden "rebranding" in the eyes of the law I doubt some bedroom activist in China has any idea that he is now an 'illegal enemy combatant' and thus the intimidation factor is likely to be minimal. Unless of course the US really does start robo bombing suburbia.

c) reduced political complicity in the whole sorry affair
Sure it will change eventually, but soon?

Well you can do what you want with yours, I'm fitting mine IN my parents basement!
Yes much better to live in an autocracy infamous for it's treatment of foreign labour and it's rather seedy recent history than the Largest Democracy In The World!
