Doesn't work that way. IP numbers are not UUIDs. They have to be hierarchical to keep the routing tables from becoming unmanageable. You can't just hand them out randomly.
So maybe I should use useragent switcher to have Firefox claim I'm on an iPad rather than admitting to being on a Linux desktop? What's the appropriate useragent string?
The suggestion that simply having an e-mail address of somebody will allow an attacker to install a keylogger on the targets machine is idiotic at best.
Right. The malware already in control of the average user's machine will defend its territory.
Yes. Let them use WolframAlpha and Wikipedia in their exams. It's not as if they will ever be required to do any thinking once they get out of school: why waste time developing useless skills?
Possible, but very, very unlikely. Attacking home Linux boxes just isn't cost-effective. There aren't enough of them. Sometimes security through obscurity actually works.
Because we all know that all govenments can be trusted to respect such laws when their own interests are at stake.
If you have secrets that you must protect against goverments why are leaving them (unencrypted, evidently) on third party servers? And why are you discussing that fact on a public forum?

This sort of thing could get you arrested as a denialist.
An alligator clip on each ear and plug into the wall! Score x1000!
Wear gloves, though. You don't want any of the juice to leak into your computer.
...if the right body parts are in the image.
According to early reports there is evidence that News of the World was not the only UK paper doing this. Is there any effort to identify the others?
I suggest that you read up on the concept of a "hostile takeover". You might also want to educate yourself as to what the RIAA actually is.

If it was IPv6 it would not be through NAT.
Perhaps it's because Google is trying to do it securely.

Because the designers of the pages are *bloody idiots*.
You don't hear about the companies that do keep their servers secure, do you?
Lesson: don't do business with wordpress.com.
It doesn't follow that the impact on any one user is greater, though.
...is, of course, a necessity of life (in addition to cable television).

Speak for youself.
Right. The malware already in control of the average user's machine will defend its territory.
Thus the majority of users are at risk.

You can run a local cacheing DNS server.
No. Not everyone. Somebody would be saying "If Google had done that you wouldn't be complaining".

There's a fundamental misunderstanding here. Please review high school physics.
...because chemistry is just applied physics.
