Chrome is probably one of the few Google products you shouldn't have any privacy worries about. It doesn't behave differently to any other browser. Chromium is open source if you want some extra assurance.
As for reducing your Google information footprint, do what I do::
In total figures and deaths per terawatt solar and wind are very low, although rooftop solar is the worst of renewable energy.
The source is in the GP's first link. Nuclear is the safest by a big margin, even if there were some massive coverup and it were 100x worse in reality, that would only bring it on par with natural gas.
I still see no evidence that posts are actually *deleted* when flagged. The FAQ seems to suggest that they are modded to -1:
How do I report abuse?
Below and to the right of each comment is a small "Anti" symbol; click on this, and (optionally) explain why you consider the comment abusive. (Slashdot discussions are and should be robust; only cry "Abuse!" for comments that are utterly without redeeming value -- spam, racist ranting, etc. For everything else, use the other moderation options.) Reported comments will be reviewed and moderated by the editors, if appropriate.
Most of it? It's a temporary dip. The pro-culture-theft crowd was saying the same thing when Napster was shut down, I'm sure the idea of average Joes using something as technically complicated as torrents seemed at least as ridiculous back then as the idea of average Joes running their torrents over untraceable, unstoppable darknets seems now.
Oh please the US has been doing this for a long time, along with most first-world countries. In the US there is even a handy web interface for the cops to use whenever they please:
Most Palms were made in Canada and their prices were comparable to the competition, or the phones of today. My current phone was made in SK and it costs about the same as an iPhone.
Nobody's stopping you from opening a new factory, just China's ultra-cheap labor and near-lack of environmental regulations will stop it from being relatively profitable. In fact you could say it's *because* the US government is so insanely pro-business that they encouraged outsourcing, gutting their own country for short-term stock gains for the wealthy few.
Well for example, you could buy shares when they're cheap, vote for the company to do something that will generate a short spike in share value, and sell when you think the spike is topped out. Or short the stock and do the opposite.
Yes, it's an acronym for a term created by "skeptics" trying to find another sub-issue to pick on, along the same lines as "macro/micro-evolution."
Once the "it's not caused by man" argument is completely dead you'll move onto the "it's not bad" argument, then finally onto "I refuse to do anything about it, perhaps I'll move to North Dakota or live in a biodome." Most are already on "it's not bad," do try to keep up.
I haven't bought one made in an Asian sweatshop and I wasn't even trying to be honest. My two Treos were made in Canada and my N900's made in South Korea.
You've met a real-life eco-wingnut straw man who actually believes that becoming more eco-friendly requires a Unabomber lifestyle and genocide? I thought they were a bogeyman made up by Fox News.
I only wish a little warm water would kill them, but leave a tire in the sun and where it can collect water, and they'll breed just fine no matter how hot the water inside gets.
For those who are grossed out, these things are microscopic and basically unicellular. Put a drop of pond water under a microscope and you'll see some skittering around.

Within the last year, at least on FF and Chrome.
Excellent, one customer ready to buy.
Well they better enjoy it while they still have the ability to lay down speedbumps.

Who modded this Troll? I had many lolz XD
[Hubbard's work is] now being discovered by respected researchers as a viable form of therapy.

Microsoft-esque? I don't think MS would make such a statement. "Google's OS could become closed source like the one we offfer! Wouldn't that suck?"

I see a big potential for "pirate gene testing"...makes me think about getting into this stuff:

Yeah I remembered the name wrong.
I've been listening but I don't hear it. Maybe my tinfoil hat's on wrong, how do you wear yours?

Bloody hell, and they call themselves communists? That's fascist if I've ever seen it.

More like "then they'll have no income...and cancer."
Also I hope you don't think environments only need to be preserved for one human lifespan.
