I have 2 pairs of headphones, both about $40-50 range. SteelSeries Siberia (pretty nice sound, VERY comfortable), and VModa earbuds (good sound for earbuds, quite comfortable.) I've used Grado SR-125s before, and while the sound is a bit better than either of my $40 sets they're $125+ and nowhere near as comfortable for long periods.
I'll stick with the headphones I can actually wear.
Yes, but scotch actually has very distinct differences in flavor. No one with any sense of taste is going to think Laphroaig tastes the same as Oban or MacCallan... Whereas most wines are far closer in taste.
I use my Holy Name. It's my real name, the name I go by with my friends in most of my daily activities. My given name is on my driver's license, but that doesn't make it my real name. I certainly don't sign anything with my given name.
It's not a terribly strange name, and not obviously "fake" (since it's a real name) but it's not my legal name, so Google could ban me for using it. But since my legal name isn't my real name, they could ban me for using that as well.
I wonder what would happen if Moon Unit Zappa signed up for G+...
LBE Privacy guard, Droid wall, or just a ADB terminal and iptables can stop leaks like this by denying net access to any app that you don't want to give it to.
The reason (to me) League of Legends (LoL) is enjoyable and Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) is not has to do with the way the transactions are handled. In LOTRO to get past a certain level you need to spend real money. To get any of the good items you have to spend real money. Etc. There's no real way to avoid spending cash. (You CAN grind turbine points, but I calculated it would take several years to get the important stuff when playing for about an hour a day.) In LOL you can buy more champions, rune pages, and skins. Yet you can also rather easily farm those in game, and THEY DO NOT SELL POWER (no runes for money, no real-money-only champions, no real-money-only items, etc). The only money-exclusive content is cosmetic. Well, and boosts, but XP boosts are useless and IP boosts still mean you have to win the games to earn the IP. They're so people who work a lot can use their money to catch up a bit to people who play more. Once both get the same runes bought they become equal again, the rich guy has no advantage.
You can kill a botnet in a few ways: Kill the C&C servers, kill (arrest) the operators, kill each node.
Most of the shutdowns so far have taken over the C&C servers. This doesn't stop the nodes from doing whatever they do, but they don't get new instructions or updates and they slowly get eliminated as AV software catches up. A few always remain until their host computers die (not running AV software, etc). The "indestructible botnet" (and any other Curious Yellow style botnet) is immune to this technique due to not having C&C servers.
Arresting the operators has been done as well, but then both the botnet and the C&C servers are still up. So you bargain with them to get them to shut it down/give you the keys to shut it down. This runs into jurisdictional issues in many cases.
Killing each node is nearly impossible; the nodes will be updated by the operators to avoid AV software. There are also probably hundreds-of-thousands to millions scattered around the world. Killing them is a huge effort. Contacting the node owners is nearly impossible. If any nodes are left the botnet can spread again (until the flaws it exploits are patched).
The "indestructible" botnet can only be killed by method 2 or 3, all other approaches are so hard as to be impractical (for most organizations). MS may have enough influence to eliminate it, but it will be a significant undertaking.

Botnets are becoming more and more sophisticated, and as with all attacks they only get better, never worse.
Wrong. Prior art still makes the patent invalid. The difference is that if inventor A invents something, and publishes it, and inventor B patents the same thing, then inventor A can sue to try and invalidate B's patent, but can't get the patent for him/herself.
Not just improbable. Impossible with the current understanding of physics. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle would need to be false to allow perfect weather modeling. And you'd have to know the positions and momenta of all particles in the universe to infinite precision to get a long-term accurate model.

Ford's help isn't about the trucks. It's about Ford's anti-Semitic actions. He published "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" and "The International Jew", translated them to various languages, and 91 essays in "The Dearborn Independent" promoting the idea of a Jewish conspiracy to rule the world that must be stopped by their extermination. Hitler kept a large framed portrait of Ford near his desk. "I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration." -- Adolph Hitler
The Ford of today may have no relation to Henry Ford, but the brand name is tainted by the association.
I use "h=6.62606957e-34J*s" as a password in a few places that don't matter (work login at my old job that had to change every month mainly). It fits the most common security requirements (lower case letter, upper case letter, number, special character) is not terribly common (12345) and is easy to remember, after all, it's Plank's Constant. I rotate through universal physical constants for passwords. Of course I don't use it for/., nor do I reuse this username elsewhere. Actually "important" things (e-mail, a few websites, etc) get real passwords stored in KeePass, with a 20-word diceware passpoem. 256 bits of entropy ought to be enough...
There is no TrueCrypt client for Android. There IS a GPG client, so make it Android + GPG. More work than Truecrypt though, since you have to encrypt and decrypt each file.

I don't use Facebook. I don't because I don't trust Facebook, I value privacy, I disagree with the way they treat their users (repeatedly changing the ToS without notice) and I find the service unnecessary. While pretty much all of my friends use Facebook they all understand my reasoning. They respect my choice, because they are my friends, not just people I hang around in the hopes of looking cool and fitting in.

Wrong "online" here it means actively powered/powerable. Make your own NAS style.

Mandatory licensing under Reasonable And Non Discriminatory terms would be simpler. RAND is a well-understood legal concept.
