You're not going to stop people from pirating (not unless you're going for a full all-controlling dictatorship). The best you can do is make a little profit on your investment.
That's not the point. From the article:
"By contrast, with tens of thousands of individual encrypted servers, there would be no one place where a repressive government could find out who was publishing or reading “subversive” material."
Basically, they can't just confiscate your server, and then also have the info of thousands of other people. They'd have to get warrants (or at least go door to door) to fetch each of those boxes. And if you live in a different country, getting your info would be even more difficult.
I mean, a couple weeks ago, a whole 22lb ham was on sale for $0.99/lb...I sure don't see myself schlepping that on a bus that doesn't go from door to door...especially on a rainy day?
Why not have it delivered? It would save you the trip, save you the fuel of your car. I think one truck delivering door to door would be more efficient than a lot of people going to and from the shop? And more people wanting to have their stuff delivered is more jobs for drivers. Just an idea, not sure it'll work?
I, for one, miss the tree-organized layers that Photoshop has. I get a number of PSDs from the designers, which have multiple webpages (of the same design, so they have the same header etc) in them. They're set up by organizing layers into trees, which means you can view a page design by setting that tree to visible. GIMP doesn't have these trees (not the last time I checked, a few months ago, anyhow). It's a relatively simple feature. I'm not a designer, I can't use GIMP or Photoshop for anything else than crop/resize, but the lack of this feature means I still have to use Photoshop just to work with other people's designs.
I agree. I had a university level BS in CS, and I was left with a mere 1,600 EUR debt. Granted, I studied from home which saved on the costs (don't know what percentage of students does this). The university was a half hour train ride (+15m cycling) away, train rides were free, also courtesy of civilization*.
Not if you plan for it, it isn't. But you at least have to keep mind 'This might change later on, I can't make these assumptions.' If you don't keep that in mind, things can get real ugly real fast.

In all honesty, Belgium.
Sounds great! What game do you recommend for people with RSI pains?

Won't they just always enable all pages?

Yeah, but will it make you pull over if someone files a DMCA takedown request against you?

Since it doesn't need to be private, but only different for each user, can you use the user name or email for it?
You want to go down the rabbit hole?
And so we have a debate on the story, which is what the summary is intended to provoke. Well, done, I'd say.

1) Fly there at Warp 9
2) Trap the photons
3) Fly back
4) Release the photons
5) ???
6) Profit!
Then why blame it on Christianity? It's the people that do it, not the religion (in this case).
I hope it's not the evil bit that's switched

If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.
Humans are animals, true, but we are the first animals which can transcend that fact.
I see that way too often. Just because we know how to fly a plane, doesn't mean we are no longer in any way bound to the forces of nature.
You forgot and important part;
"Do not attribute to malice, what can be adequately explained by stupidity"
"entered [...] and removed"
Yes, something was lost.
I use SeaMonkey on Windows, it works well for me.
