As someone who used to contribute quite a bit to experts-exchange (and have the T-shirts to prove it) and stopped doing it when they wanted me to pay for the privilege, I cannot endorse them.
At the time, Deep Blue was the 259th most powerful supercomputer in the world with special purpose chess chips, a regular desktop today would be strong but not that ridiculously much stronger.
A long long time ago, when IE 6 was king, it allowed blocking 3rd-party cookies and had an icon on the status-bar that, when clicked, showed you which cookies were blocked and let you whitelist them on a case-by-case basis. This used to take care of all the "breakages".
Ask a physician if what he does is science, if (s)he is a scientist. There is a some science in medicine but mostly medicine is a field of applications.
This is not a thought crime since the perpetrators believed they were interacting with a real 10yo girl.
Let's review a hypothetical case.
There's suspicion that an assassination attempt will be made on a person. So we put a manikin, dressed in that person's clothes on the sofa near a window, clearly visible from outside. Sure enough, a sniper puts a bullet through the dummy's head.
By your logic, the guy should not be prosecuted for attempted murder since he only shot a piece of plastic.
There is only one change I'd like to see made sooner rather than later:
Stop using my main memory as a video buffer!!!
The main reason I opt for discrete graphics solutions is not because of the performance of the graphics, but the lack of main memory throughput degradation. I build boxes to compute, not sling graphics.
Once you start thinking of the GPU as a math coprocessor (that incidentally also slings graphics very well), your views on the subject may change.

"Terrorism" is not a relevant threat today.
Terrorism never was a threat which required the huge amount resources that were being used in the guise of fighting it.
Offhand, I can suggest at least two more plausible reasons:
1. Political (prevention of dissent)
2. Economic (industrial espionage)

Plutocracy by proxy.
The new republic.
I use them myself.
However, they have one big drawback: servers on US soil.
Democracy isn't perfect
But it's better than what we have now.

I disagree.

Is there an extension to do that in FF?

So is Engineering.
Bing does not do HTTPS.
It's the cost of doing business, and a cheap one at that.
Google's revenue in 2012 was $50.175 Billion.
For them, paying $17M is comparable to a person that earns $80K being fined $27.
Last time I checked, LG wasn't the government.
Pray tell how do you do a chargeback on a TV that was bought several years ago?
Contact the privacy commissioner.
No, that's just a marketing slogan, similar to Google's "don't be evil".
The real reason for copyright is to enrich the middlemen and the gatekeepers.
(Research the history of copyright and see who demanded it and the ever increasing terms. Hint: not the creators)
When you're rich, there are way to structure your wealth generation so that your nominal "income" is, or close to, zero.
The public has an extremely short attention span.
Trickling the data keeps the scandal in the spotlight.
Fructose is a sugar.
It is illegal for employers in the US to ask "have you ever been arrested?". They can only ask, "have you ever been convicted?"
It is also illegal for the NSA to conduct warrantless mass surveillance on US citizens.
You point?

You forgot to mention that the definition you quoted applies only to England and Wales.
Other jurisdictions have different laws.
[...] they are bound by the constitution just like the rest of our government
If there are no penalties for violating the constitution, is it really binding?

He is complying to the law, like people paying the USA income tax. If the law is unfair, then get the law changed.
I suspect he isn't wealthy enough to make law changes.
