If you try that crap around here in the physical world, you will soon be discussing it with Mr. Mossberg. The fact that you can easily break in does not make it any less of a crime. This isn't the special Olympics for the morally handicapped.
Does UK law cover "sexual harassment"? Employers in the USA have to worry about defending themselves against claims of sexual harassment, which can be quite broadly construed, even when a customer is the source of the alleged harassment. Anything that someone, somewhere, finds offensive, can be evidence of a "hostile work environment".
I don't think the fact that a word has been misused for more than N years is a sufficient reason to accept its misuse as proper usage. We don't let burglars go free because they are "just continuing an ancient and hallowed tradition".
Electrolytic capacitors degrade over time, especially if the device is never turned on. They will be in terrible condition after 25 years. I've seen them cause problems in devices that were in storage for just a few years. When people restore old hi-fi and radio equipment, they usually have to replace all of the electrolytic capacitors.
Plastic and rubber parts are another problem. Many of them disintegrate after several decades. This is a common problem in old calculators and computers. The capstan wheels used in their card readers and tape drives have to be rebuilt or replaced.
Sulfur has some major applications, like making sulfuric acid, which is an important ingredient for many industrial processes. I recently watched a documentary on acids that said sulfuric acid production was a good indicator of a country's industrial development. It is produced in huge quantities.
The technology can get complicated. Much of today's parachute technology was originally developed in the 1950s to help deliver nuclear weapons by aircraft. The parachute slowed the descent of the weapon from supersonic speeds and could be used to gently (relatively) lay the weapon on the ground, where it would sit until detonated by a timer. Conventional parachutes were useless. They would just disintegrate when opened.
Bad assumption. The composition of two ciphers can be treated as a third cipher, which may not be any stronger than its parents, and can even be weaker. The attacker is not obligated to solve the system in the same sequence that was used to encrypt the plaintext.
Some of us do not have the space for a zillion speakers and a proper listening room. Plus, there seemed to be some confusion on what exactly you received on a DVD-Audio disc.
The problem with all of the new formats is that their inventor's greed stopped them from cheaply licensing the technology to the companies that make CD and DVD drives. If the DVD+RW drives in my computers could read the discs, I might buy a few and see how they sound. I'm not going to spend $500 on some box that is nothing more than a disc player for an esoteric format.
No, they don't deserve to lose their money. Not everyone is born with above-average intelligence and a skeptical view of their fellow man. By definition, a large percentage of the population is stupid. That doesn't mean that they deserve to be victimized by the criminal classes of society.
Bullshit. I have a perfect credit record and I regularly get calls from debt collection agencies looking for people that I've never heard of. I've had the same phone number for more than 10 years, so it isn't like I have a recently recycled telephone number.
I'm on the do-not-call list and I still get prerecorded calls from jerks trying to sell me extended warranties or running debt collection scams, looking for people that I've never heard of. The one that called today was using a local international VOIP/PSTN gateway to cover their tracks. They are already violating multiple laws, what's one more? The federal government needs to track down the owners of these companies, take their loot and put them on a chain gang.
There have been several serious incidents involving lithium batteries and air cargo. We've been lucky, so far. Maybe people will take it seriously if the next incident produces a bunch of dead passengers.
Many of the DTV reception problems are caused by multipath, not weak signals. This can be solved with a highly directional antenna and/or a more modern ATSC receiver. Resistance to multipath interference is much improved in many of the latest ATSC receiver designs.
If I ever get a job at Skynet, I'm going to requisition a few dozen terminators and send them back in time to eliminate the inventors of NAT, and anyone who claims that it's a feature.
Some of us want dozens of routable IP addresses, and we're stuck with the broken model of IP that is made available to the general public.

The feds generally give the people what they want. That doesn't mean that it has to be rational or cost-effective.
The UK paper is the only one that is "The Times", since it is the original.
Literally? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.

That's because of the cyanide, not because of some ultra-fast acting carcinogen.
If you wash your hands after plugging in a power cable, you really are a moron and should remove all sharp objects from your residence.
The reason that I have a perfect credit record is that I didn't go out and buy all those things :).

Outsourced aircraft maintenance is a booming business. You better start practicing "Do you want fries with that?".

You are right. You can see the FCC channel assignment tables on their web site.

There are a number of stations that are going to move to VHF lo-band, mostly in very rural areas.
