Freenet has improved greatly in speed in the past few years. A year ago I found it quite usable for light web browsing. Sure if you want to leek 1 TB of something it's not going to cut it, but if you haven't tried it in awhile give it another spin.
- This. I'd be mildly curious to see whether spirituality genes occur more commonly in those who describe themselves as belonging to an organized religion. I could easily believe it's not that different: some believe, some just stick with what they were raised with due to never questioning it. I would guess, however, that among converts (perhaps even/away/) the spirituality genes are more common. Also all the comments about how weak the correlation is.
It's a bit silly to conflate organized religion with belief.
There is a classic story told to students of statistics about drunk man who is looking for his car keys under the street lights. When a passer by asks him if he dropped his keys by the street lights, the drunk answers ‘no, but the light is better here’.

Android is a family of phones that have little in common as far as hte non-engineer is concerned. Nexus One, Droid, etc are all individually comparable to iPhone as categories.
I don't really care how many people are wasting their education (I dislike it but we all make mistakes), but some of us need to get work done and/or take notes and it's hard to write by hand as fast as you can tex. I don't think I'd have gotten through undergrad without my laptop.
Or performance on the input type. Sure lossless compression cares less what it operates on, but you can still have algorithms which make more sense for different types of input. As a trivial example, if the input to your compressor is one of five GB-long sequences known in advance, you can compress that down to 3 bits.

you disconnect Google!!
Of course. Such as if a member of the Wrong [take your pick] party is elected to public office.
Complying with DMCA notices isn't really sufficient. The EFF has a pretty good analysis of the status quo of US copyright law: https://www.eff.org/wp/iaal-what-peer-peer-developers-need-know-about-copyright-law
This is a complaint about how wealth is distributed, not a complaint against progress.

I don't think "theft" means what you think it does. http://memset.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/piracy-vs-theft.jpg
I've only ever noticed search getting better.
....if you are unable to speak?
Or put another way: what use is internet access if the site you want to visit is on the secret blacklist?
Or using unlicensed compilers.

What use is a phone call if you are unable to speak?
All those things you mention are made by the same company. If you want to group nexus one and nexus s together, I'm cool with that.

Drink pretty good don't it?
My paying my cell bill doesn't include a check. "If you want to get paid, get a job".
And regulation. Especially anything that forces markets to be competitive instead of free.

State run, newscorp run, what's the difference?
