there are people that read the bible/qur'an/crowley/leary and are skeptical of what it says too.
some people read things and blindly accept them, some people don't.
no they don't go out in search of evidence against it, and any such 'evidence' they encounter that would shatter it may be deemed false evidence, all evidence that comes from it is right. this is not unique to religion, everybody does this with their belief system.
when it is "written in a scientific journal" it is taken to be true.
legal purchase of guns is far from anonymous.
but regardless the real problem of the 2nd amendment as a failsafe is no government is going to wake up one day and say "thats it, all rights are now null and void". they will (yes i'm aware present tense would be more appropriate) use 'salami tactics'http://blog.simon-cozens.org/post/view/111 5to erode rights bit by bit so theres no real time when there's a consensus to rise up. well, at least by then it'll be far too late. the people who would pose a major threat will be long gone.
if you plan on overthrowing the government, legally aquiring a mass of weapons would make them traceable back to you. i'd suggest the black market. being a smaller less armed group than the people your trying to overthrow would require them to not know in advance that you're a threat for you to get anywhere before your thrown into oblivion.
a computer that you already own running the OS already installed on it costs $0, runs all the programs you're used to, and contains all your important files. it's not like just because vista is out everyone must upgrade.
and you don't need a whole new computer for vista, you can upgrade parts, even if you dont know anything about computers you can take it to someone. and noone is going to downgrade their computer for vista.
i'd assume most people upon learning vista will break their iPod, will just stick with their current OS until the issue is fixed. where's the incentive to spend a lot of money on a mac, or switch to linux?
No nation of laws based on individual liberty and justice could forbid a willing buyer and willing seller from exchanging things of value in a private transaction that aren't harmful substances, state secrets or something else truly exceptional.

if i buy all my music from iTunes, then when i decide to get a new mp3 player, i cannot buy anything but another iPod if i want my iTunes downloaded music to work on it.
bypassing fairplay does not count as an option.
they don't get a free pass. they've been taken to court for abusing their monopoly.
DRM is not about restricting things so they only work with hardware produced by one company.
outlawing all DRM would be bad for the country, as people there would no longer be able to get most new media.
instead they've outlawed the most offensive DRM.
but if i were feeling the frustrations of school life, wouldn't you rather i vented via a game, instead taking my frustrations out on fellow classmates?
why are you giving it to this third party, for their recreational use? so they dont have to spend money purchasing it themselfes? so they can use it to gather evidence to prosecute somebody violating the copyright owner?

the methods of most doctrines are publicly available to their followers. that doesn't mean everyone goes out and tests them.

yeah, but you can take a picture anyway, being able to send it to 911 doesn't really change this.
then all the other planets would breathe a silent sigh of relief.
