Not at all. I assumed that your post had some overall goal (otherwise, why?) and satire seemed most probable. I apologize for assuming that your post had any point whatsoever.
If you carefully read 11.1 (that you posted), you will see that your rights are not taken away. The relevant portion is "You retain copyright and any other rights you hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services". The EULA is limited to essentially giving Google the same rights (but that grant does not change the originator's rights).
If I am understanding correctly, you are also over interpreting the content that these sections apply to; as far as I can tell, it applies to content that the browser submits to Google services (many of Google's services contain similar terminology; presumably, the browser makes use of those services in ways that may not be obvious to the average user, so the EULA for the browser contains ass-covery).

Is that network traffic or email traffic? The latter seems a lot more likely to me (because a single movie download is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of spam messages).
may work better for a lot of users (anybody who can manage to download and extract a zip file...). A rootkit could still be hiding the traffic, but the approach you outline is better than nothing.
It could be mods missing the point, or it could be mods that are amused 'awarding' karma by using insightful, or it could be mods who got the underlying point and agreed.
I'm not sure I think any one of those is more likely than the others.
Google doesn't have near monopoly power. All you have to do to compete with them is offer ad impressions at a lower rate than they do. Their market share does give them some nice efficiencies, but, for example, a local website can offer locally targeted advertising at a much better ratio (because a club in LA is not all that interested in impressions from Idaho).
Given the part where he states that sending a hash of a url does not reveal the url to Google (he even goes on to state that Google sends a larger hash of the url back!), read *very* carefully.
My impression is that as of 2.0something and 3.0, the biggest memory hogs in Firefox are flash and Java. Firefox still leaks, but nowhere near as bad (I have had a window open for ~11 hours and it is using less than 250 MB of Virtual memory and less than 90 MB of actual memory, this is vastly better than early 2.0 releases).
The Flashblock extension seems to reduce memory use quite a bit, and with all the poorly done flash adds that peg to 100% cpu, it cuts down on fan noise.
The javascript engine translates, where it makes sense, chunks of javascript into machine code for those architectures. I guess there is something pretty close to assembly somewhere in the engine, but it isn't something a web developer is going to need to think about.
It could well be that the math scores correlate strongly with overall intelligence, and that the math knowledge, while beneficial to the tech education, is secondary to the overall intelligence.

2 GB flash drives are $5-$10 these days:

The deeper issue is that it is ridiculously overpriced.

Often, the goal of satire is to be funny.

Google bought outer space?
You are succeeded in failing again.
I can identify with what you are talking about; as a passenger, I end up places, as a driver, I know where I am.
This may or may not sound condescending: Holy Fucking Whoosh.
Probably only after Google stops making money on Firefox eyeballs. Presumably this will be the earlier of the death of internet advertising or never.
I do believe it is a conspiracy by telecom companies not to spend money on something that they don't anticipate making a profit from.
Are you talking about ants or some microorganism?
I would think that the act of leaving would make an impression. Were you also using the navigation to find your way home?
I know what it is! This new version of IE has TWO idle threads.
If the zapper costs $100 and can recover $5 a day, why would a dishonest owner prefer to actually come in and work the register?
If it can recover $100 a day, well, then it can cost quite a bit.
If the goal of grading is to sort students by arbitrary nominal scores, test correction is a bad thing.
It might fit in very well with the goal of skill based promotion.
It could well be that the math scores correlate strongly with overall intelligence, and that the math knowledge, while beneficial to the tech education, is secondary to the overall intelligence.
Now, now, there is no reason to call e-bag scum.
I do appreciate the doublethink inherent in referring to the Constitution and revolutions while ranting against a slave class though.
