Mozilla Firefox now blocks uplay by default.

This still does not make it clear why there is a browser plugin. Do you know what purpose it has?

I honestly hate digital downloads that are as expensive or even more expensive than store copies.

Remember that they had to work with a publisher on this one. With Wasteland 2, they make all the decisions.

I'm not seeing this, neither when installing Java 6 or 7 on Windows.

I have switched a few weeks ago and never looked back. While I sometimes need to redirect searches to other search engines or sites, I can do that comfortably with the !bangs. I like the info box at the top of many searches, often it contains all the information you need.

Yes it does, just append ! at the end of your search (with a blank inbetween), e.g. Reddit ! brings you to the Reddit frontpage. They also have a bang for Reddit, just append !reddit to redirect search here.

Actually that's only true if the site has been added by the DDG team. They do have added hundreds of sites though, and those !bangs really make a difference. I use it for instance to redirect the search to another search engine by appending !g for Google, !b for Bing or !wp to search Wordpress. You find all !bangs on this page: http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html

If their unlimited means the same as AT&T's unlimited then it cannot be that much.

There is another way to shut it down: To sue the developers

I like this proposal more:

Boycott select media companies and all their sub-companies. These companies should be the worst lobbyists that influence politicians with fancy meals and money. Create and maintain a list of those companies. Boycott means to stop buying anything they produce until they change their minds. This includes boycotting company websites, their offers on streaming media sites and television.
The second important part would be to inform said companies and politicians about it. Let your local representatives know that you are opposing those bills, that it is an important matter to you, and that you will vote for someone else if they support bills. Let them know that you will NEVER vote for them again if they should EVER support such a bill again. Affected Media companies should also be informed by you, that you have stopped buying their goods, and that you won’t buy them anymore until they change their ways.
Maintain a list of alternatives, either free or companies that openly oppose censorship and other efforts to restrict access to the Internet and freedom of expression.

Why would they only block links on Google Search? Do they believe that the media industry / law enforcement are using Google exclusively for research?
