If you want "real anonymity", you're going to have to start your own publishing business and hang your handbills yourself.
If you want someone else's help publishing and disseminating your attacks on the hegemony, they're going to need you to trust them.
Because it may not look like much, but the space you take up on their servers is their property bought with their nickel. They own it and can demand you identify yourself before they agree to cede a few bytes of it to your pamphlets. And if you insist on paying, they'll have the right to insist on a contract, and for that you'll need to identify yourself.
If that's the case you need some out-of-band communication. Like an email to users telling them when the policy has changed. Or a modification date in the policy to indicate when it was last officially updated. Oh look, that works with simple hashing as a change detector. Problem solved.
By extension, you have no right to be on the Internet, and your ISP can modify every packet you emit, if they choose to put that in your customer agreement.
Frankly, Reuters as a news organization has, like all of them, gotten a lot sloppier as competition for online eyeballs has squeezed all the value out of anything other than eye-popping headlines.
There's really not much you can do to keep commenters from hiding their identities, and it's somewhat hypocritical to do so when you omit bylines from many of your stories, and when your reporters, columnists, editors, and editorial writers are just fronts for the attitudes of the corporation.
Allowing people to remain anonymous to readers, but insisting that they give you identification you can use to trace them if they violate the TOS, seems a reasonable compromise.
Which is why we should prosecute Bush for the criminal acts he conducted with those powers.
See, it's wrong to keep a President from having the power to order people to do things. It's also wrong not to hold him personally accountable when he uses that power to get illegal things done.
There's a good reason that Zeppelins are long and narrow and filled with hydrogen, instead of just the natural shape of a balloon that has minimal ratio of mass to lift.
BTW, as the link mentions, the Hindenburg carried its own hotel, with 50 cabins for passengers and berths for 59 crew members, plus common areas and a bridge, while fully occupied, and had short flight capacity for 20 more passengers, so the concept of moving buildings with an airship is hardly novel.
In Latin, "virus" has no plural, the way in English "water" has no plural. It's uncountable.
In English, however, "virus" applies to things that aren't amorphous gooey substance, but are instead computer programs.
Once you've broken one rule by making an uncountable noun refer to a countable thing, there's no reason not to use it to refer to multiple countable things by breaking another rule.
I.e., if the Romans had had computers, and used "virus" to refer to a computer program, they could easily have used "virii" to refer to multiple such computer programs, but they wouldn't for any reason have used "viruses", and probably would have flung you from the Tarpeian Rock for trying to give them a reason.
There's also that charging money for your products thing that lets you reinvest in making them better while the rest of the world lags years behind then comes along and pretends you're a bully for being big before they could even find their way into the room.
Obama the Senator was right to rail against those things.
Obama the President is now stuck having to deal with those things. He can't just evaporate them. Gitmo is a legal quagmire, and moving those people stateside at this point is worse than leaving them where they are. He tried, and got nowhere with Congress on it because it's just too big a pig-fuck.
He stopped illegally wiretapping people, but he has to fight for the nation in the courts because of the illegal wiretaps that Bush conducted. He can't just roll over because that could emasculate the Executive Branch on the powers Bush used incorrectly to cause the taps to happen. Hamstringing the Chief Executive forever because one resident of the office broke the law during his term is a supremely stupid thing to do, buy you'd gladly do it to embarass a guy you just don't like for whatever stupid reason you have.
And he's not following Bush's schedule. Bush never had a schedule. He had a mandate from Iraq, and he was going to find a way around it. The "surge" did not create the stable environment it was supposed to, and McCain, continuing Bush's real strategy, would have used that to abrogate the agreement. Obama got us out. But because Bush's surge failed, the military has been replaced by mercenaries, at even greater expense. It remains to be seen if the instability will stabilize or become a shitstorm again, now that our uniforms are not patrolling the streets daily.
Try again. The issue was slavery. The "other issues" and the secessionist attitude of the southern states towards being part of the nation were all related to the conflict over slavery.

When Russia became a democracy in the late 80s, what happened to the Cold War?
By induction, what happens to the Cold War when China becomes a democracy?

Who the fuck are you?
It should extract the plaintext and hash it. If the current TOS associated with a page matches a past hash for the site, ignore it.
This is why we have computers do these things.

They could go to Firefox Googol and get king-hell buzz while they get sued for infringement...
And drag.

Just a little light comedy for a volatile world.
I thought you could just ask Wolfram Alpha to read the summary and compose the post for you.
Or maybe it did.
seriously, though, the system used in that movie is a lot more robust than this disaster...
Stand on the end of your lever.
Only for voting Republican and making it worse.
You don't have enough dictionaries, causing you to suffer from false cognitive closure as well.

They should just go to 9 and reflect the fact that they're ahead.
If you want public recognition, you have no business being in the military.

so how many RSA patents are now invalidated?
Zero.
"Prior Art" doesn't mean it happened before, it means the public knew it happened before.
That's because you're no Einstein, and neither is the guy he did that to.
which was over other issues initially

That's why we have /.
standards can only tell you how things should be.
they may tell you how things will break for you if you try to do things in a non-standard way, but they have no power to force you not to try.
