I'm a boxer you insensitive clod! Legally though, I'm not restricted from engaging in fisticuffs with a consenting partner, would you prefer a world where this was never possible due to an overly generalised restriction?
The person consented to be inebriated. Their death was a result of their drunkenness, which they consented to. If somebody forces someone to drink against their consent then that person forcing them could be held responsible. Alcohol companies aren't forcing drinks down anyones throat.
Depression is a state of mind, not a disease. We've been sold down the river by a bunch of unscientific quacks peddling their cureall pills. Show me one symptom that isn't ephemeral. Soon happiness will be a disease.
Ever consider that the drone has a list of OSX systems reading 'panther, jaguar, tiger, leopard' and couldn't make heads or tails of 10.4.8? Unless this was a Mac support line, I wouldn't be surprised to find someone on a support line who must follow a rather clueless script that would not accept 10.4.8 as a valid answer to your question. Blaming the drone and not the company as a whole is shortsighted and foolish.
If they wanted a dime of that guys money, they'd keep it in print. The fact that you can abandon your work out of circulation and still expect copyright to be enforced is a farce. I've pirated a few games that were never released for sale in my country. If they expect to have their copyright respected they should make copies available.
If using firefox, you can change this behaviour most of the time by selecting Edit - Preferences - Content - Colours and unselecting the 'Allow pages to use their own colours' checkbox. The page colours should stay relatively sane after this.
http://geda.seul.org/ looks interesting as a solution to the $1000+ software. I'm not sure if it's capable of doing what you ask with openmoko, but I'm sure it can work with many projects. The conversion and debugging would be a labour of love for a hobbyist which would negate many of the associated costs, and once one hobbyist shares it, the gap disappears. Can't you just be happy that the potential is there, even if it costs $25,000? Designing from scratch would entail a far greater cost.
You'll get modded down for that anti-wiki heresy! I'd say it's a good summary of Wikipedia, though a reference book should be hearsay - it's not their job to prove things, merely to collate other peoples reports.
I'm fairly sure you can still set it up this way though. Either way they need to infect the system with their impossible to uninstall rootkit. This is potentially far more disastrous for the consumer than the rather benign time and effort to find a CD and pop it in. His point to wait for a crack so you don't need to deliberately rootkit your machine is still valid.
You're right. He should have highlighted the fact that installing cracks from unknown sources is a hassle to find and install, a hassle repeated every time you patch the inevitably buggy game, dangerous to stability and a common vector for your machine to be compromised. Still a rather bad situation regardless of legality.
Being inside the US doesn't mean you must nullify any reference to the world outside. He was talking about releasing mobile phone games to the world - here comes the cluestick - which you can do from inside the good ol' US of A as well. You should try comprehending a sentence in its entirety next time.
Releasing a product for Europe generally requires English, Spanish, French and German translations, the rest of the population can speak at least one of those four. Usually English alone is fine, especially for a game with little text. The cost of translation for the typical amount of text in a mobile phone game would be trivial anyway. Just don't use Babelfish.
In reality they would fail continuously and miserably with such a general vague notion of what is allowable and what is not. I doubt humanity would survive a generation of truly artificial intelligence.
I think the point of the stories is that no matter how pure and simple you make the rules someone's gonna get hurt. In essence, there is no solution that requires armed robots, and every reason to fear the consequences.
Afghanistan did no such thing, perhaps you're thinking of the mostly Saudi Arabian hijackers, but even then it wasn't any sovereign nation that attacked.
We attacked Afghanistan because we believed they were harbouring those responsible for attacking America and her allies, not because they themselves were responsible. I believe this was an ethical reason, up to the point that we stopped pursuing those responsible. Our action there has lost validity and credibility, and we should GTFO.
Not to mention the lack of titles such as Chrono Cross and FF Tactics. Thank god for emulators. The TV show thing I believe is just our stations being cheapskates - it costs more to get it earlier. Still makes no sense though for the majority of media, from cds and dvds through to games and cinema.
I'm not so sure that the lack of total anonymity is such a great thing. It allows too many cretins like the RIAA to make personal attacks on people, essentially convicting someone of a perceived crime, when none may have occurred. Certainly, those who have been the victims would agree.

From the acorn wiki: "The larvae of some moths and weevils also live in young acorns, consuming the kernels as they develop."
Perhaps your furry globes were the result?

Well, actually you forgot Poland.

Codeweavers is a stopgap, but I'd be happy enough with an emulation layer if the rest of what you said held true, ie. slap it in, install and go.
Pfft. Everyone knows 1985 was the year of the GEOS desktop.

You see, when a mummy rock and a daddy rock love each other very much, they get really close and hug really tight and evolve little baby pebbles.
Why should we redefine-ed-ing English words just to please-ed-ure the creationism-ist-tites?

Did you actually read any of the Asimov books? I can't recall a single time when the three laws worked as intended.

Piracy has referred to plagiarism for centuries. 'Meaning "one who takes another's work without permission" first recorded 1701;' Get with the times.

Try links2 -g for a graphical lynx. As for the performance, it's no doubt fast to load, but may be much slower to navigate.
