Your rebuttal consists of two sentences, both of which are not based on anything:

I didn't say that. I was merely arguing that Adam isn't unethical by every definition if he writes about piracy.

Just so you know, it is quite arrogant to assume that your morality is absolute and flawless. Check out the Wikipedia article on cultural relativism.

I'd like to have the piracy debate with anyone who is interested. I do not feel like typing up another comment here stating my position, so I'll just link to some pieces of writing that convey my point of view quite nicely. Anyone who wants to take a stab, feel free.

It surprises me that the Lifehacker crowd needs purely practical posts all the time. Sure you might not be able to implement this. What does that take away from the value of the message? Do you also complain about not being able to become an Olympic athlethe if you are watching sports? Of course not, you take what is…

Are you kidding? The law requires the procecutor to proof that you're guilty (in almost all cases, that is). A reverse burden of proof is really an exception (again, only in very specific cases), not the rule.

I have to ask; how did that book change your life?

Those two psychological books seem very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

I set this up for my mother and she couldn't be happier with it.

I actually read that a while ago. Although I do not remember a lot about it, I have improved my social life. A re-read wouldn't hurt anyway.

Lifehackers, what are the books that changed your life? I am looking for reading material for my holiday. Both fiction and non-fiction.

Jazz. Most albums from this list are lovely: http://www.reddit.com/r/Jazz/comments/llym8/a_poll_for_essential_jazz_albums/

I am using Gmail as my email client. Everything is set to forward to one central account. Gmail checks the email headers and applies the appropriate labels. The fact that there is a label for every account, means that I still can have the illusion of separate inboxes, while everything is stored in one convenient and…

This behavior you are showing is similar to a kid that doesn't want to go to school. Please realize that this isn't going to work and get back posting the insightful comments you used to post.

There is. The particular method is called disk cloning.

Where would one get one's hands on the enormous amount of IP addresses one needs to block connectivity to most advertisers?

This article does not at all advice you to disconnect from your ISP. It merely discusses ways to prevent your ISP from checking what you are doing online.
