IE 9 is currently the most HTML5 compatible browser - but are they only testing the new HTML5 features? How does it do on the HTML4 code that is currently 99% of all the code on the internet?
Why exactly should the W3C working groups waste their time testing new browsers with old code? These people are planning for the future, it's not their job to make sure new versions from vendors work fine on specs they were working on 5 and 10 years ago. That is the vendor's job.
In a democracy, yes, that's exactly what it boils down to. But any side needs to understand that if they make offensive rules they are going to be opposed. If people want to live in peace and civility then it requires compromises. All of this requires that you are part of the system. If you choose to sit on the sidelines you have zero cause to bitch.
Where? There used to be a pressure valve for society. If you didn't like the government, you moved to the frontier. With literally everything claimed on earth right now, (even Antarctica and effectively the sea floor) you don't have much option of 'move'.
Have you been to Canada? There is plenty of uninhabited terrain where you won't run into anyone. Maybe Siberia would be another option, or Brazil for that matter.
Complete wishful bullshit. Amazing how much rationalization is going into analyzing (and trying to explain away) polling data that suggests a Democratic bloodbath. What, too much "change" in the air now?
Why do you even bother trying to pay attention? Who cares what analysts have to say about any of this? Why does everyone put so much stock into figuring out what may happen when they can just shut the hell up for a minute and watch what actually does happen? The election is going to happen regardless of what talking heads on TV do, so why bother with the predictions?
What does that mean? Does that mean you don't consent to your government? If so, there's a really easy solution for you. It involves moving, but you'll never have to live under a government you don't consent to again.
You think voting may create the "illusion of consent" (implying there is no actual consent), but not voting creates the reality of apathy.
If you disagree with the choices you're being presented with, then find the nearest political office of someone who does represent your views and volunteer.

But really, you plug in a Linux box what happens? OS X, what happens? Really!? Any answers? No?
If someone is using a computer to transfer or interact with a storage system that has things like child porn and other illegal things that will get you thrown in jail, I really don't see how the OS plays any part. If someone wants to copy "warez" and runs them and finds out that they got a little more code then they expected, again, I don't see how the OS plays any part. If they are executing a file they are executing a file. I'm not talking about autorun here.
Its not different than scientists doing their lab work to see whats going on with a certain theory.
Yes, it is. Scientists have a hypothesis they're testing. Artists just want to see how people react.

But rather to create drop spots in an urban environment to see what happens.
This is why scientists and artists clash. Artists do things to "see what happens", and scientists do things to see whether or not what they think will happen actually does. The scientist takes the idea all the way through to conclusion and then tests it, and the artist just throws stuff out and sees how people react to it.
Out of curiosity though, what do you think they thought would happen? You're providing anonymous file storage, it's not exactly a stretch to look back at the history of anonymous file storage to see that it gets riddled with illegal and malicious files. This isn't exactly expanding the mind. This is like an anonymous file dump website that any visitor can also destroy.
If you like the way things are, and someone comes in with a promise to "fundamentally change" it, and then makes a concerted effort to change it to something you don't like, how do you not see it as someone wanting to harm you?
Don't confuse the welfare of a single person with the welfare of the country. People need to realize that everyone can't be happy all the time. People need to compromise in order for everyone to be able to live together. No one has a right to a certain lifestyle at the expense of others. With the possible exception of the legal treatment of homosexuals, I don't think there's any group that is actively trying to inflict harm on any other group. People are trying to make it better for their own group, not necessarily hurt anyone else.
I got mine within the first couple days after launch, and I haven't seen any screen issues or display problems, but I haven't been able to have one of the body glove hard cases on it for more than a month without the case breaking on the top-right corner, near the volume and power buttons. The stress on the case always causes it to fail there.
The basic fact is that all people don't fit into one of the two policy boxes that the parties occupy. I've got some pretty far-ranging views from both sides, and I don't feel like there's anyone in government who is really representing me. When I vote, most often I'm voting against a candidate instead of for one. I don't think it should be that way. That system persists itself, it keeps itself in power. The democrats and republicans form the commission that gets to decide which presidential candidates debate each other on TV. So every presidential election, the only candidates we get presented to us are in one of the two parties. Because of that influence, those are the only parties that get substantial corporate donations, so they have the money to keep themselves in power. Since those two parties have all of the money then they can afford the expensive congressional and senatorial elections in each state. The states have plenty of small-party candidates, but they don't get the funding that their big-party rivals do. I think that all of that would change if small-party presidential candidates were able to debate and become known on a national level and have a real chance to get on the ballot in every state and win an election.
The TV companies are dominated by "leaning left" liberals, and therefore their reporting is also left-leaning. ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN.
Why do you think that is? Has it ever occurred to you that the majority of the US population might in fact be liberal? Why do you think that in at least 10 states during this election cycle that the number of "independent" voters are actually the majority, where there are more independents than both Ds and Rs? The majority of the population does not identify with either major party. Since both parties are on the right of the global political scale, it would stand to reason that many of the people who do not identify with either party are in fact left of both of them. Take a look at this, are the blue and red folks on the left or right of center:
It looks to me like the entire political system in the US is on the right, and so to anyone standing on the right, someone standing in the center looks "liberal" and "left", when in fact they're just in the center.
"Buy health insurance or we'll punish you" is pretty leftist. It's lack of freedom
So, in your world, everyone on the "left" desires an end to freedom, and everyone on the "right" desires more freedom, and never the two shall mix. So left vs. right is all about non-freedom vs. freedom, people who hate their country and want to destroy it vs. people who love their country and want to protect it. You sound like a Glenn Beck viewer.
If you think a single person living in the US and involved in politics actually desires to harm this country, then you're a moron and shouldn't be allowed to vote. You've bought into the partisan bullshit and now your vote is a liability. This country needs 3, 4, 5 etc political parties, this 2-boxes bullshit that everyone is supposed to fit into stopped being productive decades ago. The control by the two major parties over the presidential debate committee needs to end.

If the botnet found a new server and someone else is controlling it now, I hardly think they would let that reach the news.
Why? What purpose is served by keeping that out of the news?
Does spending 40 minutes killing 10000 skeletons by hitting the same two keys hard?
Yes, I believe it does hard.
I'm not surprised if the botnet is already up and running again, controlled from a new location.
I would be pretty surprised, seeing as how the controller is in custody.
