I use adblock but it won't block text ads like Google Adwords, and I don't mind it. Annoying, flashing, popping ads however must go. It's teaching advertisers a lesson. (And keeping me sane.)
As I see it, the best thing you can get is some fortified password manager. I'm not sure how secure the manager of Firefox is. After all, JS in Firefox can do pretty powerful things, you can do a plugins and whatnot, so I can imagine some JS exploit, either through JS engine failure, or making a plugin that claims to be something else than it actually is (e.g. Flash video downloader, or whatnot; just wait for the password manager to fill in the field and your evil script does an Ajax push in the background). But of course this is mere speculation. I'm not really familiar with Firefox internals.
On the other hand the government can legally require software vendors to include backdoors and keep it secret. (See original DES machines IIRC.) With closed source, you don't even have a chance here.
Stallman is actually extremely accurate, sometimes verging on "prescient"("The Right To Read" written a fair few years vs. Amazon's remote kindle wipes or Apple's 'cryptographically blessed software only' smash hit... for instance).
Or the Java trap.* (Meaning it's not enough for Sun to be friendly to the OSS/free software community, it has to guarantee those freedoms with appropraite licenses. Also GPLv3 was before the Oracle takeover.) Sun wasn't applying the GPL license to Java and OpenOffice until some anti-Java activism from Stallman.
* It doesn't mean I don't develop in Java. Actually, I like it pretty much, and the licensing of Mono isn't any better either. They're just not on the same level of freedom as e.g. Gnome.
Anyway I hold to Jefferson and Madison's opinion that the US was meant to have a FEW enumerated powers, while most of the powers remained with the Member States. Just like the modern EU.
It's funny you bring up EU, as all EU member country has universal healthcare. Although they decided so independently of each other.
It also helps the clueless to get a clue. It's about whether you're humble enough to admit that you have gaps in your knowledge. You put it as if the offline world wouldn't be full off arrogant know-it-alls.
Please tell me how's a Visa debit card is worse than a Visa credit card? And how is it better losing your own money vs losing someone elses money that you have to pay back?

They like plausible deniability because the miserable pro-authoritarian sycophants like you can pretend that those things don't happen, and you'll continue to support the government regardless of how badly they ignore the laws they are supposed to be following.
It's just like black slaves celebrating the fourth of July.
Actually, as time progressed and women became more emancipated, there were also more alcoholics and smokers among them, which further reduced the age gap (Hungarian statistics).

Well, I didn't know about that, I was redirected too. Thanks for pointing out.
"Fed up with better security technology catching all your terrorist plots?"
I can totally imagine a 4chan raid to vote against that.
It works for me. You just live in the wrong country.
Kim Jong Il goes ballistic.

That's easy. People expect better customer service when dealing with warranty.
No, it doesn't.
You either use our crypto-machines, or you're with the terrorists.
That's nazism, which is a subset of fascism.
Fascism isn't neccesarily racist. (See Italy between the two world war.)
You know too much about Anonymous and used their calling word, "lulz". Just like Tapanaris. Now you can expect the partyvan.
I currently filter out all Apple news, there's an "Exclusions" dialog on your preferences panel, and you can write in any term.

It might be because of conditioning early in their life.
Or in other words: that what's they got used to.
European countries still preferred their own crypto machines because of the ambiguity of the situation.

... because your comment's body tells that things haven't changed since 1981 (in the mainframe vs PC respect).

Gone with the (solar) wind
Truth gonna set you free
Whoop, Whoop, Whoop Ba-Ba-Ba Booie, Booie
Yeh, Yeh, Whoa Yeh-
Said I, I wasn't gonna tell nobody, but I just
Couldn't keep it lord, lord to myself, so I put
My soul in motion, got true love and devotion
Put my trust in the man cause he's the only one
Who can give you
Truth gonna set you free
Truth gonna set you free
Truth gonna set you free
The truth will set you free
I will be your secret service
(Both from Mother's Finest.)
