Hmm, I'd recommend trying a different browser for those select websites. That sounds like the kind of issue that's browser-specific, and which could possibly be resolved by trying out a different one for Cloudflare websites.

I know that the terms "copyright infringement", "theft", and "piracy"
I know that the terms "copyright infringement", "theft", and "piracy" are often used interchangeably. However, I'm curious what the technical differences are. I've Google but I am looking for someone's opinion of them in lay terms.

Exceptions to this rule are things that are within the definition of "fair use" and parody (which is protected speech). No such thing as "copyright infringement" exists for anything that is made for personal use and is not public. "Theft" - the appropriation of a property (a "good") that belongs to someone else. Usually this term is associated with real things, but the concept has extended to "intellectual properties" or other abstract concept such as "identity" and "information". Generally anytime someone takes "something" that by law he isn't supposed to take: that's theft. "piracy" - Originally this term referred to the act of hijacking mercantile ships and stearling their goods and money, diverting the influx of money derived from such trade routes into their own treasury. Later on this term was used to indicate the act of profiteering by selling counterfeit copyrighted products, therefore, in a sense, hijacking the influx of money derived from the sale of a certain product into their pockets, often, but not necessarily, without the knowledge of the customers. Nowadays anyone that copies and distributes a copyrighted work is considered a "pirate" whether he gains money from that or not. As the copyright owners only care about the influx of money that doesn't get into their pockets, they see absolutely no distinction.

Are there any Arizona users? I might be moving to Phoenix next summer and I've heard it's really bad in terms of racism, intolerance of gays, etc.
Thing is; I can't tell if that's just a stereotype of that area/the south in general we have up here in Canadia Land (Canada) or not. So in your honest opinion, how bad is it?

Optus and Voda tend to get the most complaints about their coverage, though both companies have been making good in-roads in this regard. Still, Optus has quite a number of MVNOs operating on its network (including Virgin), meaning that depending on where you go, network congestion can be a bit of a problem. Not surprisingly then is that Telstra tends to offer the best speeds and coverage... for a price. The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman publishes a yearly review of customer complaints, where you can look at the latest one here. Of course, it only speaks of one side of the story- perhaps having a look at the Whirlpool Forums could give you a glimpse into other opinions. EDIT: Whoops, forgot to mention the above only applies to the mobile/cellular side of things. I'm fairly certain that with reputation in terms of Internet service, iinet would top the lot (thanks to its stance against the currently proposed heavy-handed anti-copyright infringement policies and generally being awesome to their customers).

What is with the bacon addiction fad?
I don't understand why people who are into this fad insist every meal consists of bacon and constantly mocking or insulting people who don't eat bacon despite those people have legitimate reasons (vegetarian or vegan, allergic to meat juices, Muslim or Jewish since pork is not Halal/Kosher or they don't like eating that kind of meat.).
