Ever since his arrest, he's pretty much had to. Unless he manages to keep some form of media focus on him, such that a significant number of people will care about what happens to him, he'll vanish overseas.
Publicity is life to him, at the moment. Given his life prior to the Bradley leaks, I'm pretty sure he's not a publicity hound.
Even without homebrew - I own many Playstation games. The emulators let me play them on another device. That's practically a textbook case for fair-use format-shifting. Luckily, since I use Android and not iPhone, I can just install those apps from their project homepage like I can any other app on my computer.
Writing an emulator isn't stealing anyone's IP. But the IP cartels will apply pressure and abused laws to persecute them anyway. Likewise, game rules cannot be copyrighted (art, and particular expression of the rules can) but that hasn't stopped purveyors of popular games from trying to strong-arm free variants offline.
Because the inquisition was solely about religion, and not about the Catholic church maintaining it's political power?
If the Thirty Year War had been religious, why did it end with battles between Catholic France and the Catholic Hapsburgs?
The Crusades were caused by a large number of landless nobility wanting their own domains, and a Papacy looking to distract the nobility from its own political weakness
I can find no information about Gavrilo Princip's religion; I can however, find plenty relating to his nationalism, and membership of a political party reacting against the Austrian conquest of his homeland. Gee, I wonder what convinced him to try assassinating an Austrian Arch-Duke.
Regarding the Holocaust, Hitler's intimates recollect that he was distinctly anti-Christian, using it in public only as a tool to control the religious German masses.
From Wikipedia "religious factors were not prominent (the event was ethnically motivated)...rhe majority of Rwandans, and Tutsis in particular, are Catholic."
What, because Muslims and Christians died in Bosnia, its now a religious war? Bosnia was an ethnic conflict and territorial conflict, not a religious one.
The Arab-Israeli wars are motivated because the Allies took a whole swathe of Arab land, and gave it to the Jews, due to a sense of guilt over doing nothing to help them during the Holocaust.
Israel-Lebanon is a specific case of Arab-Israeli, and has the same root causes
Religion can be an effective rallying-cry for a war; communism, patriotism and nationalism have all been used in the same way. In the end, though, they're not the causes of war. The causes of war are, universally, an attempt by one group or another to get more (political power|land|money) at the expense of another. That's not religious - that's just human.
It was totally about "censorship" (in the wider notion beyond just governments chilling free speech)
It was censorship even in the narrow sense - the DMCA is an application of governmental powers to effect censorship. The fact that was invoked by a private entity is irrelevant - it's the government that's enforcing it.
Those poor people are so destitute that they're willing to become virtual slaves for some meager earnings
Which is exactly the same choices made by Western factory workers during the industrial revolution. It's what happens when countries industrialize. It generally leads to the formation of unions, workers rights, and all that stuff we take for granted here as the situation firms up.
People who are criticising Chinese civilization are doing so from on top of the legacy left by the exact same behaviour in their history, a couple of centuries ago.
Inflation is really necessary, as it requires people with money put it to work. If you just hang on to your money, it will depreciate in value and vanish. If you want your money to maintain its value, you need to invest it, and get that capital into circulation again. If your currency has negative or zero inflation, you'll have a massive "credit crunch" as all the people with capital stop loaning it out.
it's directly responsible for wars all over the planet.
The fact that you can type this with a straight face just demonstrates you have no knowledge of history, politics or human nature, and that any of your comments that touch on any of those subjects can be safely ignored, with nothing of value lost.
And have four or five years to wait, and millions of dollars to pay your legal team, and support you while the government is suppressing your business.
The difference is, that when you track down the Anonymous punks, you can throw them in jail. What exactly is your recourse against your persecutor when it's the federal government of the most powerful nation on earth?
Why? I don't see to a reason to lionize someone just because they died. The evidence given that she was a "prodigy" was pretty poor. When I think "prodigy", I think people like Ramnujan, not a MS cert holder.
That doesn't mean her death isn't sad, that she wasn't a talented, driven young person. But if you're going to praise her, then praise her for things she was and deserved, don't heap false titles on her that exaggerate what she was and did. That's just as disrespectful to the dead as anyone you were criticising.
That's the way it should be - and the way it was before all this "copying is theft" garbage took the fore. If somebody else can do what you do, but better, they deserve the marketshare. If you do something amazingly innovative and new, you get a few years monopoly to reward people for R&D - and then they can copy you.
If orange jumpsuits would be one of the most used form of clothing everywhere because they are used in prison, well, that would be newsworthy...
If you're reporting on orange jumpsuits becoming the most popular form of clothing, and the reason is that 50% of the population is in prison, you're reporting on the wrong thing.

Almost as pathetic as the slavish devotion to assassinating his character on behalf of the US government.

Yes, don't. Especially since it's wrong.
Or if there's a falconer in the middle of it.

and now apparently it is going to pollute them with more random junk
No, not unless you click the little "My World" tab at the top of your search, like you do to access Google Image Search, or Video Search.
A. They probably picked the most anti-TSA guy in the Senate... ...who is the son of the most anti-TSA guy in the House of Representatives...
B.
Then its not going to make it any worse, is it?

Was she found hanging by the neck from a tree? No? Then she wasn't lynched. Both the Christian and atheist "lynch mobs" are a product of hyperbole.

Sort of like the OP's lynch mob (i.e. Jessica Alhquist wasn't lynched, people called her names on the internet)
If you want to protest, do so legally and publicly
And inside your designated free speech zone.
Wasn't "having a reasonable economy" one of the parent's criteria?
And have four or five years to wait, and millions of dollars to pay your legal team, and support you while the government is suppressing your business.
The best justice money can buy.

Did you actually read his article?
A more general and simpler answer though is to *always use a standard library*
Except PHP 5.3.7, like he mentions in the article. You can't always trust your libraries
and uses *password stretching* (i.e. iterates the hashing function thousands of time to make brute forcing much more expensive).
And where he says in the article how bad of an idea this is, compared to using a work-factor algorithm like bcrypt

Nice. I'm sure there's quite a few slashdotters with your software installed.
That's because the MPAA/RIAA only sue individuals, not real people
