If Apple felt like it, they could probably patent "It holds a smart phone against your ear for hands free operation" and get away with it. (If someone doesn't get what I'm saying just think rubberband)...
Before spouting nonsense on the internet, maybe you should inform yourself on how it was and is funded since your post makes you sound like a commie-hating loon that doesn't trust the guberment.
That's why you should block the javascript responsible for loading the ads too. Usually this is accomplished by blocking all requests to the ad-agencies servers which stops the page from sideloading the scripts.
Also, ad-heavy sites takes forever to load because the infrastructure supplying the ads sucks. On top of that the ad-agencies are using quite invasive tracking coupled with all the social network connectors that now are more or less standard on every site.
So if for example Boeing crashed an experimental prototype business jet, NTSB wouldn't need to be involved since Boeing is a for profit company and only rich people and companies would eventually buy the plane? Is that what you are saying?
Since FAA issued a license for the plane in question NTSB has to investigate the accident, and if the NTSB finds that the plane is unsafe they can recommend the FAA to rescind the license. Thats why NTSB is involved, it has nothing to do with "rich peoples hobbies".
Just because a vendor choose to use something it doesn't mean their users are overwhelmingly supporting it. Usually it just means the users are stuck with the vendors choice.
I don't think you get what procedural generation is all about. The point is that you DON'T have to remember anything except the seed for the planet, and the seed itself can be procedurally generated.
In essence you can build a complete universe from one seed alone.
You are aware that the article is from 2011? A lot has happened since that article was written.
During 2011 Chinas manufacturing output increased by 23% compared to the US 2.8%. That $2.9 trillions vs. $2.43 trillions, a ~20% difference for 2011. Since then China has steadily increased their output while the US has been at a standstill because of the recession.

Uhm, you know that US imports most of its consumer goods?
That means that the US also need to export things to have a healthy trade balance, otherwise the economy will go in the crapper (even more so than it is).
The US has been running a trade deficient since 1980's and if foreign countries stop buying US made products it's going to be a huge problem financially. In March the US trade deficit was a staggering $40 billion. See http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/balance-of-trade for current and historical data on the US trade.
In other words, saying that "the US is not particularly dependent on foreign trade" is patently wrong.
What happens if a customer uses a service that he/she only can reach through 2 jumps of peering and the service-provider (ex. Netflix) only has a contract with the first ISP in the chain?
The customer will be SOL, the small ISP's too, that's what. The small ISP's will be forced out of the market or bought out by bigger ones. Essentially this paves the way for a few big companies OWNING everything related to content distribution and access to the internet for which the customers will have to pay an extreme premium to use.
And what hope do the customers have? Google laying down more fiber?

I do hope they have included nethack-el in that Emacs then, otherwise it wouldn't be feature complete!
The problem is that people doesn't want to think, they just want things to "work".
For my non-technical friends I usually recommend that they use Ninite (https://ninite.com/) for installing the most common apps they need.
Like a certain russian leader...
But then, I guess they have drivers.. :P

In other words:
copy notepad.exe VBoxService.exe
Add VBoxService.exe to your autostart folder.
1 minute fix to mitigate the risk a bit.

I know a lot of companies that block most of the ad-sites because of the attack vector ads represent.

X-mas 2016 edition of SystemD:
- now with built in kitchen sink, linux kernel not needed.
Companies usually have a horde of lawyers, a private citizen is lucky if he can afford just one lawyer for a limited time.
Guess who's right the government disregards.
I believe ICB (Internet Citizen's Band) preceded IRC with 2 years although ICB was called Fn (Forumnet) in the beginning.
Just tear down all the bridges, then the trolls have nowhere to go.... ;)
Well, the article has a link to Security Week and they swiped the headline from there... No thinking included...
My goal is to replace myself with a little shell-script.
Regarding point 1, I think users are relieved that there is no fscking ribbons in LibreOffice which makes it much easier to transition...

Well, the MU raid was a cluster fuck of epic proportions. On the other hand I can't say that Kim Dotcom was wholly innocent either.

AFIK the heterogeneous client on Linux/Mac only handle installation/removal/inventory/monitoring of applications and not pre-loading of a complete OS.
Of course, this may have changed since I last worked with it but there are some inherent problems to get that to work under Linux/Mac et al.
