You almost made me write a new sig, but I'll hold off for now.
"The only goal that ICANN has is to make money for ICANN and the registrars that support it."
Let's rework that famous quote: "At first I didn't care because I thought it was about a buck for ICANN. Then I discovered the abuse potential but TFA said it was for battling squatters and scammers. I pointed out the potential damage to Your Rights Online but an AC appeared and told me to take off my tinfoil hat. Then the worst case scenario became signed into fact, and it was too late."
"Hi there. Nice domain name. Pity if our Venezuelan Subsidiary might be infringing! However, if you pay us $5, we'll give you a nice Approved graphic that you can upload for a year!"
"A lot of the open-source stuff... simply doesn't work correctly, unless you're doing simple stuff... Hence the need to have MS Office on your machine."
And... this is why twenty years later we can't wholesale ditch Windows. There are a hundred thousand little cases of this one act play in existence. It's so bad you can make a grid of it.
A. Proprietary Windows copy of something is very good. People do work on it. B. Desire to use something other than Windows arises, aka a flavor of Linux. C. Try to switch out all the proprietary programs for their OSS alternatives. D. Encounter enough that are half baked because OSS Devs have a fatal weakness in the Fit & Finish department. E. Declare "Not Ready" and return to Windows.
So yes, I WILL use a Half Baked copy of something if that is the last link in the chain preventing me from ditching Windows.
I basically agree with you, and so does Nick Bilton of the NY Times. That's why I called it a Flamebait summary. They picked a disastrous phrase in "too much brain leads to distraction".
I'm clever but you're still ahead of me. I agree, we need a "no genius left behind" program but that's too much to ask of 2011 America. Maybe we'll have it by 2020.
One day if you feel bored again I could use someone who craves mental challenges because I have a couple hard questions to ask. Email me. It's not even obfuscated.
1. Hammers are fun! You can bang on things all day with them and fix a lot of problems. 2. Seismographs are not hammers. If you bang on things... with a machine *designed to measure the earth banging on stuff*, you'll get a 14 on the Richter scale followed by the machine breaking... after you fixed your loose screw problem.

The Stream is a Lie.
Suppose you could buy songs for a penny. Great! $25 and you're set for a week/month.
Then when more silly corporate games go on, you have "a better chance" at keeping what you own rather than "what they feel like offering".
Minor Example, cross genre.
Hulu removes series series from availability. So what makes you think stuff you want will always be available?
Yes it does.

Hiya!
Here's the simple version!
1. Hammers are fun! You can bang on things all day with them and fix a lot of problems. ... with a machine *designed to measure the earth banging on stuff*, you'll get a 14 on the Richter scale followed by the machine breaking... after you fixed your loose screw problem.
2. Seismographs are not hammers. If you bang on things
Even that is not so simple!

The article is some 25% provocation, but clearly too long to be a mere troll.
With only a brief glance at TFA this is a Flamebait summary.
It's the age-old distinction between a low-grade machine that is resistant to abuse and a high-grade machine that is vulnerable to abuse.
The summary unfairly rewards low-grade abuse-resistant machines/brains.
They missed the obvious use case. Think of the Children!
Parents can hear kiddie outside when he wants a cookie, but kiddie can't hear the grownup sounds inside the bedroom.
It's not all the fortunes.
Matt Welsh is not there!
Uh, the fortune cookie generator exploded on me.

I'll reply to you with a spin on our favorite theme.
It's not identity theft... wait for it ... it's identity *INFRINGEMENT!*
No one can strip you of your identity right? (Certain prisons excepted.)
They are ... COPYING your identity! Your identity is your (ongoing) original creative work that no one can duplicate right?
So all personal details are "derivative works" of your identity!
This goes for credit cards, maybe SS #, and a lot of other things.
You "lease" Sony your card info ... so if they get hacked, they just allowed a copy to be infringing! Sue them for $875,000 per account!
Except Sony bit Geohotz, and it peed on our file registry's. It doesn't play well with the other pets. Yeah, ditch it!
Becaue Pakistan hiding Bin Laden is less important than Joey age 17 getting fondled. Lights Out.
Another piece elsewhere profiled a 3 year Seattle infiltration case for big dollars that really didn't do much.
We seriously need to shake up Big Gov, but it's getting harder.
A search for addons called MAFIAAFIRE is yielding no results.
He seems to be missing he other strategy.
Microsoft is funding some of these trolls so that the plaintiff name isn't Microsoft. Then they can sue for "infringing linux code" in attempts to shut down entire business models.
Really, this article is so retro.
