"still, I don't like the idea of having my books disappear if I don't pay a continuing subscription."
They're not your books. You can read them as long as you pay your subscription. That's how a library works. You not like, you not borrow book, you buy book.
I doubt it will work. We have tax on packaging, but still you see packages that have unnecessary plastic. Companies don't care as long as the consumer doesn't care. And they don't.
They're the worst kind of terrorist. Fighting with Pen And Truth and using the internet as IED and WMD.
The loyal ones write about what the government want you to believe. Then there is a bunch of them that write about oil spills and the banking system. But the worst are those that turn against their government and write the truth.
"but others suspect it's wiring the continent for surveillance". With todays knowledge: probably yes, Thanks again mr. Snowden for revealing the truth.
Such a shame. It should have been NSA surveillance equipment, but they will find an other way.
Yup. And that is why good education (math) is so important. To educate people to see the things in perspective. But there is also a role here for the media. People feel less secure, as a result of hyped news coverage, while in fact they are more secure than ever before.
If such filters were very accurate, it would be great. Only if it was opt-in of course.

Please, give me a break and tale a look at the statistics of deaths relates to traffic or cancer. I admit terrorism sound terrifying, but it is not nearly as deadly as the other two.
When going to Rome... In countries where they speak a dialect of English, it's polite to try to speak that dialect. Add a frequent "like" and "you know". It so happens that americans understand English fairly well, but nuances well get lost in translation eventually. Like your example.

We can vote, but governments are run by money and corporations.
True right now, but we can change that.
I would love to think so, but I doubt it. As long as corporations like Google or Amazon can say "no taxes or else we go to an other place" we have a problem. Or medical companies that "negotiate" ridiculous prices for their medicine.
I find this attitude short-sighted and sad. You can influence your government. It's hard work -- you have to get involved, and stay involved -- but the government is ultimately beholden to the will of the people.
Awww. Come here and let me hug you. You're too sweet!!!

Time to face the music and deal with the garbage produced, instead of making it somebody else's problem.
Correct.
Uranium makes great stuff to shoot at Iraqi tanks.
Is that mess cleaned up yet?
the war on free press.

How will a better YouTube UI aid safer driving?
Didn't think so.
Nope. They don't. On a bad day you're just wondering why you're on a no-fly list and how to get off.
Not less bad. Bad in a different way.
In other news people got kidnapped, locked up and tortured based only on suspicion and without any kind of trial.
The is the biggest software pirate I know. I don't feel sad for them.

It Israel. But I doubt that would be good for Snowden.
I would like to see sanctions on entities that read mail on an industrial scale.
Fair enough. It is polite to speak the local language (or "variation of" if that is more accurate). I broadened that a little to dialect.
