So DRM which is giving people a locked box and the key, then telling them to forget they saw the key, and only use it when they need to...Is secure?
It does not work, stuff still gets copied, and cannot work....so why is this a barrier...?
You miss the point, If I want Windows 7 64bit drivers for any older hardware (and in some cases a few new ones) then it simply does not exist, and probably never will, if I want it for Linux then there is every chance it does exist, and if not I can pay someone to write it...
The driver that works on one kernel and not the next is relatively simple to get working, and the only things removed completely are very old and very obscure hardware...

North America, 23 separate countries some very warlike one who has been involved in most international wars, with no unifying structure....seems to be mostly doing OK

Imagine setting up a factory in a place without a stable power or water supply, decent roads, large enough ports, with a corrupt dictatorship, tribal warlords, gigantic wildlife and weird tropical diseases - Florida?
USA: FMVSS 208 requires that air-bags be engineered and calibrated to be able to "save" the life of an unbelted 50th-percentile size and weight "male" crash test dummy.
European ECE airbags are generally smaller and inflate less forcefully than U.S. airbags, because the ECE specifications are based on belted crash test dummies
Basically the law says you should belt up in both, but the safety standards in the USA assume you won't be...
Form letter from lawyers that was also sent to multiple other businesses that had anything in their names relating to LOTR or The Hobbit..
When enquiries were made as to what had to be changed to comply, the answer was anything relating to the Hobbit or LOTR, including fan artwork, character names, and many things not actually covered by the licence SZC holds on the copyright...
Huge outcry fanned by Twitter and Facebook groups, Actors in the Films weigh in....
Suddenly SZC are all sweetness and light, and claim they only want their copyright acknowledged...
Go and read the documentation for an iPad... it's a very quick read...
Lack of documentation is only an issue if the product is not well written, or is written with someone else in mind.... which can be an issue with Linux apps, But is also an issue with some Microsoft applications (which it should not be)
Rory was the one who needed rescuing in a few episodes...and there have been male companions before
The companion is mainly there for exposition, "This is New Earth in the year 10,000...." i.e. the Stuff the Doctor knows and the people where he is know already, but the companion doesn't, and as a connection to the Audience, this is why an everyman (or Everywoman) works best as they are not extraordinary
...Remember that besides healthcare, and adequate food, anything else is a luxury and we could quite easily do without
There are uncontacted tribes in the Amazon that are not poor, they have no idea of money, and have no debt, and so no poverty, but also have very little in the way of material goods...
The only thing we could give them to make their lives better would be medicine, they already have everything else they need
My experience is that it is MSWord that is incompatible, I have fixed broken Word documents using LibreOffice to get them to open in Word... and corrected layout issues in LibreOffice because I could not fix them in Word
Look at his example the iPad - the latest one is out... it's selling like hot-cakes
Why? is it much better than the competition - no not really, it's not even that much better than the iPad 2
Now look at what most people do with it, and you find they could do exactly the same with the iPad 2, which they probably had...but they will tell everyone who will listen how brilliant it is..
Most people who have one don't do anything with it they could not do with a laptop... but ask the same people and they will tell you a laptop is complicated and the iPad is simple... this is it's only selling point, but it's a big one
This is PR and ease of use over everything else... how else have Apple managed to sell a poorly speced, incompatible laptop with no keyboard or peripherals for more than the price of a laptop...
English - An Indo-european language closely related to the Romance, and Germanic languages Spanish - An indo-european language one of the Romance languages Modern Hebrew - Hard to classify but has many influences from European languages mainly Indo-European Romance and Germanic languages
They didn't pick a very diverse range of languages, mostly one family, of heavily related and cross influenced languages...
Pick something else like Yorùbá, or Mandarin Chinese....?
Websters throws out words when they are unused...OED does not once it's in it's in forever...
But a word needs to be in common printed use before it will be accepted in the OED, and is proved not to be an ephemeral word.... this probably accounts for the other 400,000 words they spotted, they will be ephemeral neologisms, common mis-spellings, and words not normally written down...
I suspect the most common word not in the dictionary that is in their list is either "thier" or "teh"...
Jo Kittenger reported much the same thing, that high up there is no sense of movement, even though you are travelling extremely fast, and the ground does not appear to be getting closer because it is so far away and there is no sense of scale...
Price is already High...go and look at the converted prices and be amazed...
Two problems I can see :
1) You can fill a Jerry Can at a petrol station, no numberplate
2) Who is going to pay for this, petrol stations are franchised and run on very small margins, manned by minimum wagers, and have no interest in enforcing this...

Come to the UK, BBM was touted as the organising system of the riots we had last year ... the teen market bought them because of this ...
But they are abandoning the consumer market ....
Brand : Worthless ...
Customers : Leaving in droves, and no reason to stay now
Patents : the only asset they have left to strip
So DRM which is giving people a locked box and the key, then telling them to forget they saw the key, and only use it when they need to ...Is secure?
It does not work, stuff still gets copied, and cannot work....so why is this a barrier ...?

So the USA is a third the size, with a third the population, but they are more than 3x richer ...the real issue
Imagine setting up a factory in a place without a stable power or water supply, decent roads, large enough ports, with a corrupt dictatorship, tribal warlords, gigantic wildlife and weird tropical diseases - Florida?
As I said ...besides healthcare....
But saying that the worst aspect of first contact is that they are usually unable to survive all the imported diseases ...

..all on the budget for the whole series that matches half an episode of an equivalent US show ...
The BBC have no money, and have to justify every penny spent, even if it is on mainstream shows ... every complaint has to be paid attention to
Try running a TV company like that in the USA and it would go bust in a second
In Nicola Bryant's first episode, she wore just a bikini, and Turlough a rather revealing pair of trunks, and a very wet shirt....

Please come to the UK, gun crime is very low, so is crime ...
Anyone with a gun is either : Police, in full SWAT gear, Army in full Uniform, or a criminal ...
The criminal will get reported, and very soon after most likely shot ... so the criminals (non-stupid ones) don't carry guns ...
