Web 1.0 was all about connecting people. It was an interactive space,
and I think Web 2.0 is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even knows
what it means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then that is
people to people. But that was what the Web was supposed to be all along.

I know you're joking, but NetHack is IMO on the 'pure fantasy' extreme of the reality spectrum. You enjoy the game because there's no sight/sound/physical action limiting your imagination.
An increasing number of people I know are stopping using mobile phones blindly. One should use mobile phones like postcards -- you say something over the phone only if you could shout the same thing to the public without having privacy concerns.
XOR, just like ROT-N, isn't really encryption at all, I think.
And yes, secrecy of the key is a necessity, but not all. Weak keys can be guessed. Strong keys add to the difficulty of breaching its secrecy by guess.
But all these are trash-talk WRT DRM. Those who want DRM are blinded by the doublethink of giving you something while not giving you it. They borrow things from encryption technology but refuse to face the fact that encryption is intended to defeat tampering or eavesdropping, not DUPLICATION -- neither spatially nor temporally.
And that's why they don't rely on DRM alone. They know. And they buy laws so you can't duplicate certain things legally. And the culmination of this law-shopping was DMCA which says you can't even attempt to break the DRM which protects copyrighted material from being duplicated. This is a lie, because DRM by design is NOT capable of being a method of stopping duplication. (Luckily this USA insanity has not yet prevailed globally as intended.)
And mods, you can as well mod me down, -1 Offtopic.
Encryption strength depends on the key, not the algorithm. You can study the source of GnuPG all you want, but you can't break the encryption without the private key.
And DRM fails because of neither the key nor the algorithm. It fails because some greedy clods don't know heck about the basic principles of encryption, one of which being that you can't encrypt and not-encrypt at the same time.
Poor Leto. Killed by *all* those inner voices demanding royalties for the copyright of their memories. Eternal royalties. The Golden Path ends before it could begin.
Considering most Firefox users are more tech savvy than average and many of them are likely to have already blocked StatCounter altogether, this is impressive.

I know this is /. and bashing China gives you sweet free karma, but *I* am a Chinese programmer, you insensitive clod!
There's no need going over this legal shit. You may as well just print the money and pay the debt ;-)
Sure seems like there is a fair chance of it being grabbed by some of the "millions of automated Web 2.0 content analysis bots".
T, FTFY.
Not to mention polygamy and regicide...

There's Firemacs, but that's just a key combo addon, not a fully functional EMACS implementation.
You know it's not once you've tried to write (and maintain!) different CSS fuckups for different IE versions.

An average lawyer babbles. A powerful lawyer kills with a word.
And I'm not implying that the latter is the case here.
I thought "charities" in the US were about agendas with a tax deduction. Then again, I'm not an American, so I may be wrong.
Something in the fine prints of the contest rule, about which nobody but lawyers care, must allow this to happen.
We have a probability-to-miss-an-asteroid-hit gap here...
