This looks like a good reason to use TextSecure if you have an android phone. Texts are stored encrypted on your phone, and if both sender and receiver are using it, texts are transmitted in encrypted form as well.
I'm european. I used to buy my dedicated hosting in the U.S. for several reasons - Low latency to my lots of american users, good location for international routing, prices, etc. Then after a series of setbacks caused by companies with bad business practices (read extortion), increasing prices and, yes, scary laws, I finally relented and moved to europe. Never looked back! And I'm sorry to say I also regularly convince others to move from the U.S. to europe.
Do you have any recommendations for good hosting providers? At this point I am looking to make a move.

Here's another way. One that doesn't rely on me trusting someone else to do something.
Let me get this straight, an ISP could bill you for forwarding your email spam that you didn't want in the first place? Looks like they have zero incentive to do anything to prevent it.
What, you mean like my cell provider who allows spam text messages because they "have no way to prevent it" and then charges me for it? Yes, your ISP can and will charge you if at all possible. For most people (at least in the US) it's not like you have much of a choice to go elsewhere anyway.
There is one other problem with deploying the aegis system against human targets. Such a usage most likely violates
Section 4, Article 23 of the Hague Convention, which states:
In addition to the prohibitions provided by special Conventions, it is especially forbidden - ...
To employ arms, projectiles, or material calculated to cause unnecessary suffering;
South Korea is a signatory country of those conventions.

According to the release notes, there are specific actions that you must take to enable some of this protection:
The 0.9.0 release of HTTPS Everywhere is a new beta version designed to offer improved protection against Firesheep. Most notably, it can provide much better protection for Facebook, Twitter and Hotmail accounts, as well as completely new protection for bit.ly, Dropbox, Amazon AWS, Evernote, Cisco and Github. Unfortunately, in order to obtain maximum Firesheep protection, especially on Facebook, you must take two extra steps:
Turn on the "Facebook+" rule. You can do that in the Tools->Add Ons->HTTPS Everywhere->Preferences menu. It isn't on by default, because it can cause Facebook Apps to raise errors. We're still waiting for Facebook to fix this, and the chat problem:(.
Install the Adblock Plus Firefox extension too, and use it to block the insecure http:/// adds and trackers that Facebook (and other sites) sometimes include.

OK, I zinc this has gone far enough.
On Thursday, the USPTO published Google's patent application...
the internet is not an exclusive club for the technically sophisticated
Actually, it was. At least initially. Then someone let the lusers in and its been a race to the bottom ever since.
With more than 100,000 students tested, proctors could not watch everyone -- not when some teenagers can text with their phones in their pockets.
And how exactly did they read those text messages if their phone was in their pocket?
because you'll be able to kill your programming rivals with one fell swoop.
Even better is that with the model M you can just wash the blood off afterward.

and you know this how? On second thought, never mind. I don't want to know.

In brief terms how laws in the US pass? I thought it started from the senate, and the president has veto rights.

Now, the US is pretty responsible with its landmines

WTF?
Indeed, given the knowledge that there is something rotten in your government it could be considered treason if you didn't do something about it!
Given the events of the Valerie Plame affair and the people involved, it is clear that this sort of thing is just fine with the US government.
What are these "commercial" things that this is referring to? They sound horrible. Is that something from the 90's?
I truly hope no one is dumb enough to give him money.
I did, but it was only $10. Besides, it was on my credit card so I should be able to just get the credit card company to reverse the charges, right?
