I don't think anyone is foolish enough to believe that DDG protects you from the NSA. People use DDG to protect you from "monetize your surfing habits, builds a commercial profile on you". If you're worried about the NSA, don't use the Internet.
I've tried Raspberry Pi (stutters under load) and Chromecast (also stutters) but now I just run it from my main Linux machine. The TV is in the room adjacent to my office and I have a 35 foot HDMI cable so it's essentially the second monitor of my computer (in your case I'd run the cable through the walls). I log into my computer through SSH on my Android phone (JuiceSSH client), run a simple bash script that picks the movie with slmenu and plays it through mplayer, which sends the audio through HDMI. With the onscreen (phone) keyboard I can pause/play, seek, pick subtitles or languages, whatever. If you want a real keyboard and mouse use Bluetooth K/M to the phone sitting beside you, but it's hardly necessary. If you want to go with Kodi (formerly XBMC) they have nice remote control programs that run on the phone.
In the old 'world of the future' exhibits they prophecized that we would have machines doing the work for us and that all humans would enjoy more leisure time
Yes, in the future products will be made super cheap by robots, but even then no one will be able to afford them because no one will have jobs.
How long will the rich remain rich when the only ones they can sell their stuff to is each other?
A UPS driver with a truck full of packages might be able to claim a box "fell off the truck" but it's a lot harder for 1 person in 1 car with 1 package to deliver to say the same thing.
That's the only reason I have a Google+ account, because they force me to have one for something completely unrelated -- commenting/rating Android apps. Maybe now I can finally delete my G+.
Where is Labs? Distance measurement? All those cool add-ons? Where's lat-long tool tips?
I find myself using Google products less and less. When they took Reader away I realized that anything and everything can and will be taken away at anytime so I stopped using GMail, Calendar, Tasks,....
So now I'll be looking for a new Maps replacement. Google's a real buzzkill these days.
I print out a 16x16 grid of random characters and tape it to my monitor.
The password is the path through the grid.
Uses a different part of your brain, much easier to remember. Quite random.
Slashdot Mirror
Speed of communication wouldn't matter, you just need to store it as fast as it's generated.
Probably just a variant of LZ77.
I hope no one is equating coding fast with coding well.
How fast is he at re-writing the code to be well thought out, properly designed and correct?

These mobile phones are, in fact, full fledged computers. And that takes some power.
What takes even more power than the supercomputer is the light behind the LCD.

A front pants pocket? Who keeps their phone in a front pants pocket?
People who don't want their phones to break when they sit down.
best just to remove the app (if you can)
I just got a tablet running Lollipop and in fact you cannot remove Chrome (without rooting).
... Jabber/XMPP (and hence Facebook and Google Talk)...
Google Talk hasn't been XMPP for years.

"There was one incident where another car rolled a stop sign, one in which another car veered into the AV's lane, ..."
I wonder to what degree it is programmed to not assume that other drivers on the road abide the law, or even drive reasonably?
*click*, *click*, "Block Caller" => "I'm sorry, this number has been disconnected or no longer in service"
"Internet service surpassed its total video subscribers for the first time during the second quarter this year."
But suicide is illegal (in most places).

Either way California *could* stand to be a little more self sustaining.
Maybe the rest of the country could be more sustaining and not eat all the food that California grows for them.
Are you referring to Amazon Glacier?
Just look at all the features that Google keeps removing and add those in.
How about a token at the beginning (perhaps "++") that declares that every word must appear? (implied +word +word...)
How about a token at the beginning that declares that every word must appear in that order? (but not adjacent)
One thing I know I'd like to see, regular expressions, is probably prohibitively expensive, but it sure would be nice.

Dunno. Has tinfoil been proven to thwart the fMRI machine that reads your thoughts?
I think it is also a more humane way to slaughter animals; cattle, pigs, chikens, euthanized dogs and cats... (sorry for being off-topic)
Give them the choice of suicide or ______________. (fill in the blank)
I'll start: Using /. beta on an old smartphone while waiting in line at the DMV.
In other words, induced suicide?
Worst case queueing, behind the important data on the drive.
