Somebody who cares more about protecting the environment than about making profits for shareholders would be in violation of their fiduciary responsibility to the company's shareholders, and would quickly be removed from their job by the Board of Directors. Of course, this only applies to publicly held companies, so if you can find a privately held company or government operation to supply you with all of your energy needs, you're home free. Good luck with that.
They didn't specifically exclude Wikileaks; they excluded any website whose primary purpose is to publish "secret" information. So in essence, now you can punish anybody for exposing corruption by merely classifying the evidence of the corruption as "secret".
When Africa and parts of Asia turn industrialized, it becomes apparent that children are more of a hindrance than a help. Look at all that industrialization has done to limit the size of Mormon and Catholic families here in the industrialized world!
Also, people starve not because of any inherent limits on the Earth's ability to produce food, but because food production, preservation, and distribution is very expensive in terms of energy requirements.
Lastly, fly across the US sometime. 90% of the population lives within 70 miles of one of the 2 coasts. In between there is a whole lot of empty. Space itself will never become a limiting factor to population. Clean water and food supplies become scarce long before space does. The Earth is 3 dimensional; all large cities already achieve a much greater density simply be going vertical, and we haven't even begun to explore the possibility of building down into the Earth as well as up into the sky.
Quality of Service: good, because it is necessary to make VoIP and videoconferencing really usable. Higher QoS should entail higher costs, otherwise everyone would use the highest QoS for all traffic.
Charging one customer more than another customer for the same type of traffic: bad, because it is inherently anti-competitive.
The 3-lettered one? Microsoft already employs more developers in India than it does in the US. Of course, they don't really count as a "security conscious" company.
A whole generation of men the size of the whole US population won't be able to find women in the coming generation. There is a obvious solution, but when I propose it nobody takes me seriously: timesharing.

I've still got a Caldera Linux disk and license, still in box! Does that mean I don't have to pay the $699 for the Linux license?
They would show it to you, but they lost it in a pile of pixie dust and unicorn manure...

Couldn't they get the same taste just by making whiskey out of American beer?
But watch out for the little Dutch boy... he might put his finger in one of them!
