Since when does learning about Java or the verifiably type-safe subset of C# mean not learning about pointers? In Java, every variable that isn't a primitive is a pointer to an object. Sure, you don't learn about pointer arithmetic as a means of iteration, but you still can't spell java.lang.NullPointerException without "Pointer".
You've listed 10,002 sites (Yahoo, Facebook, and one myriad of others) that require a phone number. One could instead choose to abstain from those 10,002 sites and use one of the the 989,998 other sites that don't require a mobile phone number.
Emulation - Find out how it works and create a way to emulate it.
Newer Android devices contain a secure keystore that can't be emulated quite so easily, as the device key in the Trusted Execution Environment won't chain back to a manufacturer trusted by Google.
there's no reason to carry round a second device whose functionality is merely a subset of that provided by the other.
s/merely/nearly/ is more like it. If you're using your phone as a pocket watch, it's hard to pull your phone out with things in both your hands. And your phone probably can't switch among time, date, stopwatch, and calculator activities with a button that you can feel for instead of having to look down for.
Stop carrying a cell phone. I stopped carrying a cell phone earlier this year, and I no more miss it than when it was the 80s or 90s and I didn't have one.
And what device for, say, roadside assistance if one's car or bike breaks down? And what device for someone who doesn't drive to call to arrange a ride? Back in the 1980s and 1990s, one could use a payphone, but payphones have since been removed from service after the ubiquity of cell phones made them less profitable to maintain. Or is it a good idea to carry a PDA and a dumbphone as separate devices?
There are a [number] of other devices, with and without network connectivity, that you can use as a PDA for taking notes or pictures while you're on the go.
Any that aren't made by Apple? For some reason, the Android device makers never came out with a solid 4" to 5" tablet that challenged the iPod touch. There were a couple attempts back in the Android 2.1 "Eclair" and 2.2 "FroYo" era, namely the Archos 43 and Samsung Galaxy Player, but those never got wide distribution and in any case never made it to 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich".
Even an NDS with wireless disabled can do basic PDA duty, calendar, etc.
By "NDS" did you mean a homebrew-enabled Nintendo DS running DSOrganize? Those are banned in some countries (like the Netherlands) on grounds of "circumvention". If not, please explain.
Multiple users have a wired phone line are going to be cheesed off.
Google could offer a list of carriers that sell service on Nexus phones. Or Google could offer an authenticator app that works over Wi-Fi on tablets and on phones whose cellular service has expired. Or, as the featured article points out, passwords will continue to work for the foreseeable future. I can't verify whether Google is already offering passwordless authentication on Wi-Fi devices because the featured article didn't specify which devices are compatible beyond a screenshot stating "To use your phone to sign in, you'll need a compatible phone with a screen lock."
Who would have provided enough infrastructure money to get the Internet to where it is now between 1990 and 2015? Under the assumption of an "Ads are not acceptable." policy, it wouldn't have been advertisers.
Let me summarize the context up to this point: Someone wants to rid the Internet of advertising so strongly that he would prefer that videos using others' music be removed from the Internet entirely rather than monetized to pay the royalty. He claims that such a purge would make it easier to find the completely original videos that he prefers. I pointed out the difficulty of ensuring originality. You recommended contacting a lawyer for help in doing so.
So how should someone new to producing and self-publishing works 1. find a competent media lawyer, especially in a world where lawyers cannot advertise; 2. afford an initial consultation, especially in a world where video producers cannot accept advertising; and 3. prepare to make the most of this initial consultation?
Again, why should FF/Chrome compromise my machine because of your inability to keep your devices updated?
It shouldn't. It should let people who choose to access legacy devices access legacy devices, and it should block people like you who choose not to access legacy devices from accesssing legacy devices.
I dropped WEP in favor of WPA in June 2014, once GameSpy had shut down. The last pre-WPA device I had that needed WEP was a Nintendo DS, and online games for DS had relied on GameSpy.

SHA-1 is like your 5-ton bridge marked as a 10-ton bridge when the occupied weight of a standard bus is 10 tons. I guess browser makers don't see much application for a 5-ton bridge apart from bicycles.
Because some browser makers aren't smart enough to apply different policies to private internets from those that they apply to the public Internet. There's a reason IE implements the "Intranet zone", and other browser makers could likewise offer an option to be more lenient with addresses in 10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16 prefixes.

Especially now that Playboy no longer comes with "muhfugen pix nood".
Change the Wikipedia entry and hope the control-freak moderator doesn't just auto-revert you to oblivion?
Do you also get auto-reverted when you discuss the correction on the article's talk page?
But have you whored an account up to 200 rep so that you can report inaccuracies in answers to their authors in comments?
Did you discuss the revert on the article's talk page? Because that's the next step after being reverted.
no mixing adam's apples & hymens?
That depends on what you think of "Mann" Coulter or Rachel "Man"-dow.
But seriously, some women do have a prominent larynx.

Mobile data in the United States hovers around 1-2 cents per MB. A single authentication request will likely take less than 0.05 MB.

So you're saying you can't pay someone unless you are standing in front of them?
I can't pay someone ten cents without standing in front of them.
The internet was supported by people buying equipment and paying for service. Advertisers didn't do shit
Advertisers didn't do anything except, you know, fund the operations of "people buying equipment and paying for service."

That the route you use to get to the file is signed doesn't indicate that the file itself is signed.
What assurance does that the file itself is signed provide that that the route you use to get to the file is signed does not provide?

So weak crypto is worse than sending data in the clear? OK.
I think the rationale is that a false sense of security is worse than a true sense of insecurity.
