Full disclosure - I donated $10 to the Ron Paul campaign and voted for him in my state's primary.
Having said that, I thought Paul did well in the debates. He refrained from attacking others and continuously emphasized his platform (i.e. what he would do if elected.) A lot of the other contenders were like Jack Johnson and John Jackson; was there any difference in their views at all? With Paul, you knew what he stood for.
Concise but very true.
Let's assume a hypothetical computer that has Windows 95 on it. You could ask any Windows user here to do some basic tasks and he would have no problems at all. Now, ask any Windows user here to do those things in Windows 3.1 and it might just take a little longer...
"The amount of work and the cost for any individual who allows the public to connect to the internet through an already existing wireless access point is very low and the benefit of being able to use other people's access points for free is high."
I agree with this, but I don't think that individuals who have an existing wireless access point should let others use theirs for free. If they provide the service, then they should be able to charge for it.
What's more convenient? Software removing DRM in a matter of seconds from songs that I paid for, or CD burning, which not only takes several minutes but also uses a CD?
I think these smart kids you refer to know what the right answer is.

May I ask what it is that you do for a living? As a student majoring in business, 2 gigs of RAM on my laptop is good enough for everything that I do.
"Only" 12 gigs? I hope you're not talking about RAM.

Some schools in North Dakota still used Apple IIe's up until 1998. Having used one myself during that time period, I can definitely relate.
