The user's name isn't the only thing that can be made anonymous. Location, as you pointed out, is both important and fakeable.
I never said that anonymity makes targeted advertising useless, only less useful.
They DO give you something in return. Remember the days when you had to PAY for e-mail? Quickly finding and contacting someone you know has never been this easy.
That being said, I understand that you may not find these services useful, but to say that they give nothing in return isn't true.
Of course they wouldn't want the possibility of anonymity. That makes their information collection services that much less useful for targeted advertising.
From TFA: "They advised users to pour the solvent on "dry sand, earth, or ashes at a safe distance from occupied areas" to promote evaporation."

They're cutting education, because, pffft, who needs it, right?
I can imagine PirateBay hosting torrents for 3D printer 'blueprints'.
Then those "Would you steal a car?!?1/! You shouldn't pirate videos then!" commercials to actually be logically sound.

Obama: Send in the troops!
Republicans: Are you mad? We can't afford another war!

He was poking fun at "billions of Aussie dollars" being followed by "(about 1.1 USD)" implying that said billions were worth 1.1 USD. ;)

Whatever country the person selling resides in will be in charge of taxing said person presumably. Doesn't HAVE to be the IRS.
Only in California though.

Sad but true. The liberal vs. conservative push and pull only exists to distract us from the real elephant in the room, class warfare.
People DO sell Steam accounts. Don't know whether this is legal under the EULA, but it is being done.
