... is for the purpose of defending IP. Nothing else. Using such a threat for other purposes should be considered blackmail and dealt with appropriately.
I have a gun. If someone threatens my life, I will shoot them. That's legal. If I use my gun to elicit (or discourage) some other activity, that's a criminal offense and I should go to jail. Same with patents.
Escalating cyberwar to the point of doing serious damage to the USA would invite a stepped up response (probably to actual bombs and missiles warfare) that they couldn't afford. So poke us. Just hard enough to make us notice. But not so hard that we would be justified in a military response.
This is why I don't have a major problem with them having a few nukes. They'd be crazy to use them for anything other then a last resort in self defense. Iran is, after all, surrounded by 'enemy' Arab states. It is a delusion of grandeur that we are worth dropping a few missiles on in exchange for their very existence. We need to get over ourselves.
Its like the difference between a civil and criminal case. We know based upon a preponderance of the evidence. We may not be able to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Since this isn't an actual court case, the level of proof isn't so much an issue. If I don't trust our government, I don't have to justify that to anyone else other then myself. I can vote them out of office based on whatever evidence I like.
That's why Mega generates a RSA key for you when you make an account
I'll encrypt my stuff with my own key, thanks. If Mega wants to encrypt the encryption, that's their problem. But I won't be trusting their (or anyone else's) provided keys for my security.
Think of all the science funding and cool high tech your community could attract if only you had an old mine. No time to waste. Start digging for all those rare earth metals now!

This has the added benefit of stopping a single script from using up all of your memory.
Its as if a million JavaScript developers cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced when we stopped them from using all our system's resources.
There are only 100 senators. 100 H-1Bs is all we'll need to replace them.
OK, throw in another 435 visas for the House.
Roaming costs. You can even keep your original home number which might be convenient for some people.

But then that's the same level of proof we have that it was Iran that was behind the DDoS attacks.

Latency might still be an issue. They usually park on my street and take an afternoon nap. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Some of us can't swap batteries!
Have you tried to measure the projectile velocity (and calculate the energy) that your devices produce?

Microsoft will continue to produce products in the horror genre. So we can look forward to Windows sequels for the foreseeable future.
Just wait until the vegans find out that I've been selling my lawn clippings to the trendy salad bars downtown.
