There is only one appropriate response: Fuck You, Microsoft. I don't need nor want your shitty spy-trojan-laced GUI. I already have working computers with Windows 7, and Windows XP, OSX 10.9, and Linux 12.04 TLS. There is nothing I need in Windows 10. In contradistinction, there are lots of things I don't WANT with Windows 10.

Last time I checked ALL government was made up people. If people don't like how the government micro-manages a person's life then it is up to "We, the people" to change the government and hold them accountable to enforce the will of the people.
Taxation is nothing more then legalized theft. If the government steals too much then everyone must get them to lower to it something reasonable; otherwise you have no excuse to complain. Unchecked power and greed will trample over common sense without any regard for a person's rights.
1. There appears to be a speed limit of 'c' because of 2 reasons:
a) As velocity approaches 'c' the mass approaches infinity, and b) There is a singularity at v == c, aka a divide by zero.
Ergo, everyone assumes (with good reason mind you) that 'c' is a speed limit.
However there is no law or reason that you can't have v > c aside from the inconvenient square root of an imaginary number. Physicists are used to this in electricity when they treat imaginary numbers as a phase shift. We are not yet advanced enougth to know an analogue for what this means to velocity, yet.
The "simply" solution to travelling faster then light is to shift dimensions, move which covers more distance then physical reality, then shift back to physical reality. Left as an exercise for the reader.
The major problem is that the Laws of Physics just "magically" appeared. Riiiight.
The second problem is the Big Bang Theory is not-even-Science -- there is no way to replicate or reproduce the experiment! It is intellectual masturbation at best.
Who knew/. would turn into click-bait-blogspam in 2015...:-/
* The Big Bang Theory is not Science, * hell, most of Astrophysics is not science either
Science is nothing more then Applied Philosophy.
What makes the Philosophy (of Science) interesting is in the trying to Apply it. If we tossed out every scientific philosophy simply because we didn't have a way to (yet) test it, Science would remain an incredible narrow domain. Science is supposed to be about Truth. Once we start artificially limiting how the Truth is arrived at you have a cult / dogma.
Belief is not the problem. The String Theory Model is an interesting one. But I would hate to label it as Non-Science simply because we are still trying to explain problems with The Standard Model

I share the sentiment as well. I use the term neo-science for the day when Physics and Meta-Physics are unified.
Currently, Science/Scientists are completely ignorant of Consciousness and Meta-Physics, why Time (appears) to flow only one direction, why Space-Time are linked, and everything related to Non-Physical Reality despite the years of data of experiential knowledge.
Once Science has the courage to stop self-censoring its domain of knowledge it will move outside its box.
While there are many reasons to hate Dice... this clearly falls under "Your Rights".
/. has never *solely* been about tech, but *also* about politics -- namely freedom. Go figure.
When one person's rights are infringed it is up to ALL of us to name-and-shame the stupidity of government. Sometimes that is the only way to get through to these clowns.
Labeling certain topics as taboo and censorship is a dangerous slippery (political) slope. Politics has NO place in Science.
Isaac Newton wrote more about alchemy then physics; just because someone has an interest outside the rigid straight-jacket of Science doesn't imply that there are no interesting discoveries to be made. We don't know unless someone does the research regardless of people's perception.
> How long until we get a proxy-based search engine for all the censored content on the internet?
Don't we already have part of this?
The problem is we still have idiots who think censorship is the solution. Censor is precisely part of the problem:
Only cowards censor.
Certain people censor they are too insecure to discuss something rationally and too afraid of other people's propaganda that they think ignoring the problem will make it go away.
Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away.
While the 451 is a "cute" solution, it is not really address the root problem.

Except your forgetting one tiny, little thing.

* Live Journal

Fazebook is the only one that gained critical mass. So yeah, Fazebook is just-another-gossip-fad.

LOL. Brilliant! But, FTFY. :-)
Facebook is yet-another-stupid-fad. If you're dumb enough to use Facebook, well, nothing more really needs to be said.
Are you really going to be _that_ anal retentive??
The "online" portion of "your rights online" is only because we are discussing it, here, online -- but those rights STILL apply online AND offline.
Regardless if you call it "your rights" or "your rights online", *nothing* changes.
Now I don't a see a category for "Your Privileges Online"; the closest match is "Your Rights Online" so nitpicking means fucks all.
