Your point doesn't quite make sense. An Internet provider is providing you a service for a fee and no where has told you that they're going to read your e-mail.
Those signing up for Gmail are well aware of how the system works and what Google is doing, Google has made it as clear as possible what it is doing with your information.

Disadvantges: Huge amount of work to transfer ownership of IP addresses, both administrative and technical
Unlike cell phone numbers which people need to remember to call you, most people contact a website or e-mail address by the domain name which is easily transferable. So when you come to this site, it is www.slashdot.org (or slashdot.org). When I type in that domain name, you are transparently taken to 66.35.250.151.
Since you're people use the domain names to find sites, or send e-mail, there is no visible benefit to keeping the same IP address. The guy sounds like an asshat with a chip on his shoulder.

Everytime I see the ad for the free dancing stripped on my desktop, I'm so torn on deciding on if I should install it :(

The monarchy is more symbolic then anything, parliment and prime minister still hold all the power.
If you lost a friend over which news channel to watch, perhaps you should be worrying about more important things....
I'm not sure but if you find out can you let us know so we can block it?
>> No, judges are not simply ignorant
Definition: Ignorant
1. Lacking education or knowledge.
2. Showing or arising from a lack of education or knowledge: an ignorant mistake.
3. Unaware or uninformed.
Well looky here, the judge IS ignorant. He could have done some research before throwing something like this out, but he choose not to.

India is outsourcing it's superhero development and comic book writing to the US. I don't see a problem with it?

No, they'll just continue to refuse letting travellers use gelatin molds in place of their real hands.
