Both the RIAA and MPAA spend huge amounts of money lobbying for abusive legislation designed to curtail our freedom and privacy, even if you're not a "pirate".
Funny, considering the algorithm most important to them - PageRank - is described publicly in a patent. Not to mention that it doesn't even belong to Google, but to Stanford University (since it was developed by Page and Brin as a research project).
Or maybe (s)he lives in a country like mine, where GSM-connected portable card readers (with keypads for PINs) are ubiquitous? I know you're used to your broken payment systems, but you shouldn't assume everyone is.
That attack hasn't worked in ages. You can load an iframe with the Hotmail page, but you can't use the script to activate anything in the iframe if the domain is different from the top page.
Congratulations: if you have now determined that any investment where the founders get the majority of the shares - Google, Microsoft, etc - are now scams! Do you wish to revise that definition?
In a scam, there's a promise of profits. The bitcoin creators have never made such promise, nor anything close.
Is it a stupid investment? Sure, and for that reason I don't hold any bitcoins. But it's not a scam.
Yes, but you also said "Chrome (...) is now the most popular browser", which is incorrect.

What a load of BS. Most computer programmers most certainly don't try to play by the rules nor do they ever RTFM (hell, the term exists for a reason). They hack something up, change it randomly until it compiles and ship it.
In fact, despite the fact that kernel and userland programs in Android require it to be open source, Google is making it as hard as possible for it to be any use for others.
This is wrong - only the kernel is GPL. They have no obligation to release the rest of the source, which is either Apache2 or BSD licensed. In fact, they didn't for a version (Honeycomb?).
Bionic, Dalvik, they could've kept all of that closed and they didn't.
You need to be registered partner and pay hefty sums just to officially use Android.
This is a red herring and slightly wrong. You can call your device "Android" if you pass the compatibility test, which is free (as in beer and speech). If this is enough to call Android not open, then Firefox isn't either (see Iceweasel).
You have to get a license to get access to Google Play, which isn't software but a service provided by Google and not really part of Android.
In fact, they have basically used the work of countless amount of volunteer programmers without giving much back.
That's called open source. We all use much more than we contribute back; in fact, that's the whole point!
But the fact is that the Android software is open, and Linux 3.3 included contributions from Android's kernel.
Guess why Google doesn't use it or create their own? Because that would be much more work to do.
They have created a language (Go), they pay for the development of Python (check who employs Guido van Rossum) and they have developed a full compiler and VM (Dalvik).
The reason they chose Java has nothing to do with it being more work, but with the fact that developers already know the language.

Drivers also have to pass a test and they also know much more about traffic laws than non-drivers, yet they still injure thousands per year.
And so do gun accidents.
And how doesn't the same argument apply to any other governmental employee?
It seems Amazon is planing to expand to Texas (creating 2500 jobs, according to TFA), so they'd have to play ball anyway.
Since when did nomads need hunting permits, comply with health regulations to sell food they've grown and/or hunted, etc?
A nomad life is pretty much illegal nowadays.
However, that shouldn't extend to forcing the retailer (out-of-state, with no presence in the state) to pay it for the delinquent citizens.
They aren't. If you read TFA, Amazon is planning to expand to Texas, that's why they're forced to collect the taxes.
(And this is why I'm an igtheist). Define "God".

Whether they're pointless or not is irrelevant.

The fact that you think the two are incompatible shows how much the brainwashing has worked: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/apr/21/study-finds-pirates-buy-more-music
Of course you can do something: don't use a TSA-controlled airport.
The link is irrelevant; what matters is the domain of the page where the attacker's script runs.
Try the Verbatim option in "More search tools".
"How is the weather in Moscow?" is a question, though.

So that you can set a file as "public" and give an URL to anyone? That would be publicly display and distribute.
Not collaborated with the Chinese government, unlike Yahoo et all?

Heresy! No, the logic is right, but semicolons in Python?!
You can't, because it's a derivative work.
No, he's just wrong.
