NSA and ISPs like to snoop, data mine and traffic shape. Traffic shaping can even be a good thing in certain situations (and I'm not talking Comcast here.) It's highly unlikely anything like obstcp will ever get standardized, since it prevents exactly what you just mentioned.
I get the funny feeling that any country with the words democratic, people's or republic in its title usually isn't. Hilariously enough North Korea manages to cram all of those into its name (Democratic People's Republic of Korea.)
Speaking of crackpots...
Honestly, mr. Savain, if your ideas were in fact anything but complete bullshit (and you weren't such a complete asshole when it comes to presenting those ideas) someone might actually take you seriously. You remind me of Gene Ray and his Time Cube, and I don't think I'm the only one.
First of all, A or not A == A. Second, you use faulty analogies (comparing computers and biological systems is idiotic) and to top it all off you obviously have no grasp of what evolution is. Please, PLEASE at least glance at the Wikipedia article (or better yet, use Google Scholar) and read up on the subject before speaking ex cathedra about something.
for desktops yes (and as you say you could use a third party multi button mouse before that) thier laptops still come with only one button below the touchpad though. Did you actually read what parent said? The laptop trackpads implement right-click as a gesture (tap with two fingers instead of one) so your point is pretty much moot. I have a MacBook and I never use the "regular" button, but tap or "double-tap" the trackpad when I click.
Can we just forget the "LOLZ U CANT RIHGT CLIK ON A MAC" crap and move along?
You should gang up with Gene Ray and produce the Cubic Theory of Computation.

From what I can remember, all intelligence sources said that Saddam had no nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. The "OMG WMDS!" was simply White House spin to get support for the war.
And it required administrator privileges to install. Will anyone every learn to problem properly for Windows? Now that's a Freudian slip if I ever saw one.
I wonder when the DHS is going to institute "information retrieval" charges...
Interviewer: Nevertheless, Mr. Helpmann, there are those who maintain that the Ministry of Information has become too large and unwieldy...And the cost of it all, Deputy Minister? Seven percent of the gross national product. Helpmann: I understand this concern on behalf of the tax payers. People want value for money. That's why we always insist on the principle of Information Retrieval charges. It's absolutely right and fair that those found guilty should pay for their periods of detention and for the Information Retrieval Procedures used in their interrogation. Interviewer: Do you believe that the government is winning the battle against terrorists? Helpmann: Oh, yes. Our morale is much higher than theirs. We're fielding all their strokes, running a lot of them out, and pretty consistently knocking them for six. I'd say they're nearly out of the game.
Correlaton and causation don't mix very well. First of all if we go with the thought that there is at least some causation at play, there's no way to know if the "violent porn" is the cause of violent sexual behavior, or if it's vice versa.
This reminds me of when AIDS first showed up, when it was thought of as being a "homosexual-only" disease; even if statistically only gay people tended to catch it (way back when), that doesn't imply that it's a "gay plague."
Shouldn't all porn be banned, since regular porn actresses could be getting exploited too? Oh, and while we're at it, we should require women to wear burqas since men might get naughty impulses just by looking at them.

You're so broke, you couldn't afford decent jokes. *badump chhh*
You answered your own "why not?"

Because telling people not to do something stupid is always effective, right?
A 14-year-old, dyslexic and slightly slow prophet of doom.
How do I mod something "+1 tragicomic"?
Regardless, I can see some heads rolling as result from this failure.
China being China they might take that a tad too literally.

Unless you use (GASP) public transportation, or don't actually sit in the driver's seat.
Wait, are you saying that the threat of violence is the only way to get things done? Wow, what a world view.
Considering that it's government spending we're talking about, that 20$ mirror will magically transmogrify into a 5000$ one.

Sucks to fail at being funny. In some European countries we use commas as decimal separators.
XML is "human readable" in the same sense as TECO programs are.

Core dumped: stack overflow.

How about this?
