Well, not quite actually. The author of this article looked a bit short of arguments and didn't even bother to explain the possible countermeasures. It is still certainly possible for the most paranoid of us to "stay in the shadows" a little while longer, even if nowadays it is getting more and more difficult.

This article is a good start : crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=24722

For more advanced setup, (and for the super super paranoid) you might be interested in Whonix compartmentalization with multi-VPN, you can search on wilders security for that, lot of good articles there.

Concerning e-mails I recommend autistici and riseup if you can get in. If you are really afraid of providers, try to use disposable mail adresses or Notsharingmyinfo or self destructing messaging services like Privnotes. Best option for the super paranoid might be to use good old nym servers via Quicksilver, however not child's play...
