Speculation. It's bad form to say hypothesis, because while it doesn't strictly refer to only scientific hypotheses, it is commonly implied. Stop abusing the terminology.
2x4s are 2" x 4", before they're cut down to their final size. If you ever have some lumber from before dimensional lumber was common (or right around its introduction), you'll see that the pieces match the nominal size. Also, if you get green, unfinished lumber, it will still have those nominal dimensions.
You are looking for an All-Or-Nothing Transform. If you are technically inclined, it's not too hard to whip this up for yourself. OTOH, you are implementing a cryptographic protocol, so, you shouldn't be using it for anything more serious than entertainment and education. You would need a service in the US and a service in, say, Ireland, though.
Same. My browser is set to delete the history automatically. If I'm on a Winders box, running CCleaner every week or so is standard. Linux and OS X get cleaned up by hand when they get messy.
I'd be moderately cool with if, if I could figure out which friggin' domains to enable in NoScript in order to make it work. If it doesn't work from slashdot.org or fsdn.com, it doesn't get loaded. I'll consider enabling youtube.com and ytimg.com.

Or you could use VIM, or Emacs, or basically any programmer's text editor in the entire bloody world. Except maybe ed. (Cool story: I once ported ed to win32 for the hell of it. By port, I mean "ripped out every hint of signals or POSIX". It worked, at least, if you can consider ed to be useful...)
You understand me correctly and you raise a good point. The average person is not likely to be capable of, nor have the time to devote to defending themselves against ridiculous invasions of privacy.
As it presently stands, it's a good idea to be able to that and devote the time to it--but people shouldn't have to.
That's why I said that people should work to change the state of things so people don't need to worry about it. Things like private browsing modes and the Tor browser bundle are making it simpler than ever, although they are by no means perfect.
I like to think that most other websites would censor me for swearing at the top of their comments section about one of their sibling companies. Luckily, Slashdot is better than that. Slashdot is not Sourceforge, despite the relation (unless timothy or soulskill are behind all of this nonsense).
Also, to whomever modded it, that wasn't a troll. It was a sincere and direct expression of my feelings on the subject. If you didn't like it, you used the wrong mod. -1, Overrated is what you're looking for.

Balls. Grow some. I don't care if you're pink, purple, and green all over in the worst re-imagining of Picasso. You either have the technical chops and willingness to learn & work, or you don't. Nothing else is relevant.
As an aside, I'd rather work with someone who was a complete asshole, but often right, than a person who was always nice, but often incorrect.
Prior planning prevents piss poor performance. If you're trying to be sneaky, maybe you should invest in some planning (like those incognito modes and VMs you mentioned).
And there are many tools available for you to protect your privacy with. NoScript, Tor, et al..
Personal responsibility, what a concept. The idea that you consider the consequences of your actions before you take them, plan for the consequences, and accept them when you run into them--especially if you failed to plan for them.
Yes, you should be able to do all sorts of things without fear of repercussions, but reality is otherwise at the moment. That's why you plan for the consequences that exist and work to change the ones that will exist in the future.
We don't want to pay for services, so we get ad-supported services. Then, those ad-supported services have to be reasonably targeted to make them worth running. If you want something for free, and you don't want to be tracked, use the free and open source tools available to protect your privacy. If you don't like the ads, use services which offer a patronage model.
Prior planning prevents piss poor performance. I've no sympathy for people who want everything handed to them on a silver platter.
When the question instead became, "we're going to put things into space for $50M - how are we going to do that?" a whole new engineering methodology unfolded.
You've reminded me of a passage from Foundation:
And Mallow laughed joyously, "You've missed, Sutt, missed as badly as the Commdor himself. You've missed everything, and understood nothing. Look, man, the Empire can replace nothing. The Empire has always been a realm of colossal resources. They've calculated everything in planets, in stellar systems, in whole sectors of the Galaxy. Their generators are gigantic because they thought in gigantic fashion.
"But we, –we, our little Foundation, our single world almost without metallic resources, –have had to work with brute economy. Our generators have had to be the size of our thumb, because it was all the metal we could afford. We had to develop new techniques and new methods, –techniques and methods the Empire can't follow because they have degenerated past the stage where they can make any really vital scientific advance.
"With all their nuclear shields, large enough to protect a ship, a city, an entire world; they could never build one to protect a single man. To supply light and heat to a city, they have motors six stories high, –I saw them – where ours could fit into this room. And when I told one of their nuclear specialists that a lead container the size of a walnut contained a nuclear generator, he almost choked with indignation on the spot.

Answering my own question: ooyala.com.
I thought we were putting videos down in that little bar thing. Also, which domain(s) do I enable to make Video Bytes work?
In Massachusetts, this victim is in real peril of going to jail.

You, sir, deserve to be summarily executed.
You could also just use split on an encrypted archive, but that might take all the fun out of it.

I suppose if you're a world famous race car driver and you get paralyzed, you might be driven to maintain the GIMP.
I'm sorry, but that was contractually obligated.

They are dead to me.

If you're divorcing your wife, I think you have bigger problems than ads.
If you've got a disease, I think you still need to communicate better with your wife.
If you can't trust your wife, you've got very little left.

If your wife has a problem with your browsing habits, you need to communicate better--with her.
