No, they think you're an idiot because your tinfoil is so tight that you think that TLAs are interested in personal messages about their kids, or shopping lists for Trader Joe's.
But not only that, if you're worried about security, you don't trust third parties at all to keep stuff private. You encrypt locally and transmit over whatever you want (even shortwave. google "numbers stations"). If you are sending anything over the interbutt, or any other medium, and you are one white persian cat away from being a supervillain and not encrypting, you deserve what happens to you.
Your rant against Google is just idiotic when you look at the bigger picture.

Yeah, the groups are even more of a sewer now than they were before.
The MSFT board on finance.yahoo is unreadable. It used to be populated by smart people (11-12 years ago) but it has since devolved into flamewars about concrete among other things, and if you ever want to find out what an Unreconstructed Southern Democrat thinks, go there.

If content providers would stop the in-your-face stuff, I wouldn't need things like Flashblock or Adblock Plus. But they won't, and I won't stop using them.
Taxes are for little people. They aren't for the rich or corporations. Taxes are for you and small-business, not for people and corporations that can hire the best people who know the best methods of tax avoidance (legal) and tax evasion (it's only illegal if you get caught).

Yahoo has been terrible at keeping control of this stuff, like the *other* massive leak they had just a year ago.
I used to be a fan of Y! but they started screwing the pooch severely 'round about 2005/6 when they suddenly decided to jump into this "social media" thing (and do it wrong), and it's gone downhill ever since, and the board wonders why Google continues to eat their lunch, breakfast, and dinner. Today, I no longer participate in any of their services at all, and my mail over there is a spamtrap, mostly.
They lost control of customer data, again? Color me unsuprised.

It's a nautical unit. It's actually Babylonian. It's useful for measuring the Earth because it's "close enough" to a minute of arc.
If Gunther had changed his surveyor's chain to 1/100 of a nautical mile in 1620, (instead of 1/80'th statute mile)^1 we wouldn't be talking about the Meter at all, as it would have been useless.

1. A nautical mile is 92.06 chains. An adjustment of the chain to 100 per NM wouldn't have been a big difference, and made things even easier for surveyors and engineers.
galloping east towards Greenland at a rate of more than 7 milliarcseconds per year
>galloping >milliarcseconds/yr
To put it into english:
1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree (1/(60x60)). One thousandth of this is 1/3,600,000 degree. There are 7 of these per year.
I will leave it to the reader to determine how many thousands of years it will take to move one degree from where it is now, excluding normal precession.
The one that satisfies your needs. It's like on/g/ when someone says "What's the best Linux distro" to start a flamewar (it works), or what's the best motorcycle to ride, or what's the best chef's knife to wield in your kitchen.
The answer is always "It depends."
It depends on how much you want to spend and your technical expertise - whether you want to farm it out or DIY. There are arguments for and against both. To ask third parties that aren't intimately knowledgeable of your situation what's the "best" anything for you is silly.
"New information just in suggests that if you logged into the fake Demonoid and used the same user/password combo on any other site (torrent, email, Steam, PayPal) you should change them immediately."
Password sharing is bad. I've moved all my passwords and password generation over to Lastpass. All my web passwords are 20 char random alphanumeric/symbol/randomcase automatically generated by Lastpass' randomizer. They are all completely different from each other - none are shared. Even I can't remember them. They require entry by Lastpass or copy-paste from a text tile or typed from dead tree archive.
There are other password tools that do similar things, and I highly recommend this style of password generation and usage.
