Entities like big business, government, and even powerful individuals will want to stretch their power to the limit, doing whatever they want as long as they think that they can get away with it. To them, the amount of people who don't care is just as good as those who approve (if not better, since apathy doesn't encourage debate).
Just one more good example of how copyright law is suppressing the usefulness technology. But because this is copyright rather than patent law, the "useful article" doctrine fails to apply.
I'm not a lawyer or a law student, but it would seem to me that anti-circumvention (or rather, anti-circumvention-trafficking) laws have nothing to do with copyright, other than being written into a copyright bill.
For example, if I distribute a copy of HandBrake in the United States, with libdvdcss2 (or whatever it uses) intact, I have violated this part of the DMCA, but I am not committing copyright infringement since HandBrake is under the GNU GPL. However, If I download a ripped DVD from the Internet without permission from the copyright holder, I am committing copyright infringement but not violating any circumvention laws.
Nintendo already dropped Game Boy (Color and original) compatibility with the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Micro. That they would drop the slot altogether isn't all that surprising.
In addition, homosexual males can have up to 10 times more sex partners than heterosexuals of both sexes. (Lesbians somewhat less, although still higher than heterosexuals, on average.) As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, Anal sex is particularly dangerous in regards to the chances of infection from AIDS. There is a reason why AIDS was known as the homosexual's disease, it has always been most rampant in that community, and still is.
I'm sorry, but to me this just just reeks of homophobia. What makes you think that homosexuals are any less capable of monogamy than heterosexuals? Sources, plz.
The Guitar Hero Xplorer guitar is the same for both the Xbox 360 and Windows version of Guitar Hero III, so I imagine that the same will be true of the drums as well.

Just wait a few years. It will soon be Google Flash.
I believe you underestimate just how apathetic Americans really are.

Release a touchscreen/tablet Eee PC laptop.
I thought Apple machines used Broadcom chips.
If only I still had my mod points.
What I've noticed though is that the people who buy them don't seem to care...
Sure they'll die, but I doubt they'll die just because there's something better on the market.
Reminding everyone of the mortality of iPhone users seems a bit harsh, don't you think?
We outsource ourselves?
For those unaware of who this is, this is the guy who compared user-generated content to communism.
I'm not kidding.
That's a relief. I can only imagine the repercussions if this applied to DeLoreans.

'This is the worst nightmares of the conspiracy theorists around surveillance coming true,'
No. The worst nightmare would be when this comes true and no one cares.
We already know that it's possible to listen in on Skype conversations. Is it any stretch of the imagination that China would be doing it?
Will be Apple's!
Except this will deny access everyone who chooses the wrong answer.
Actually, now that I think about it, this might be even better than denying accounts to spammers.

I've occasionally seen actual dialog boxes pop up with these warnings back when I used Windows and IE, so it isn't just graphics that look like boxes.

Armagetron is not freeware. It's free software that happens to be distributed for zero dollars.

So then how does this help prevent transmission via infected needles?
How long does it take to discharge?
I don't remember the DMV charging me when I applied for a driver's license.

As president, what forms of alternative energy will you be advocating, if any?
