the most hardcore free speech zealot understands why you cant shout fire in a crowded theatre. therefore, everyone recognizes that yes, there actually ARE limits to free speech.
There is no law that says you cannot shout "fire" wherever you want to. Any limits on that are the property owner's. They can say that you shouting "fire" is dangerous to their business and ask you to leave if you want to do so. The converse applies too, get the owner's permission and you can go around shouting "fire" all you want.
So no, that does not limit free speech, because it's long established that property owner's have control over what goes on at their property.
The iPhone's touchscreen is so integrated into the actual screen (plus it's capacitive) that calibration should never need to happen. And I've never heard of anybody iPhone being off.
Well, a normal user couldn't go removing libraries, you would elevate to root if you need to. So it seem reasonable that Windows wants Administrator access to do the same. I've noticed in Win7 that I can't just go playing around with stuff in C: without granting permission.
So they are making it (where it is the consumer version, the servers are locked down properly) more secure, and we shouldn't be bashing them for that.
Of course, removing a Photoshop DLL and finding it doesn't work anymore is hardly evidence for DRM. I wonder what happens if I remove libgimp...
Most wi-fi is run by routers in people's houses. I don't expect Apple to travel everywhere to approve everybody's network. And the iTouch/iPhone already only runs Apple approved apps (which is why I jailbroke my iPhone)
Doesn't the security of a computer system rely on a good sysadmin? I could open every port known to man, but I don't need to and its insecure, or I could only run services I need, and keep them patched and up-to-date. This should be factored into security levels.

The point is I have nothing to hide. Good citizen overall.
I highly doubt that. How many times do you search for something on Google per day? Add it up, and there is almost no chance you haven't searched for something revealing once.
Who owns the data that consumers store on the network?
Shouldn't copyright laws apply? If you create something eligible for copyright, you automatically own it.
It seems to me that the government is always looking for something new they can apply differnt laws to. Take spam, it's unsolicited advertising, but since its on the Internet, it must be different. </sarcasm>
I've been a Linux guy since 1995 and as much as I hate to say it, I have given up. There needs to be a singular distro at the heart of it all which is steered by either Linus or a committee that focuses on one vision and goal. Chaos is great for creating a million cool bits, but not for organizing them into one unified, cohesive unit.
If you have the type of hardware that will work on FreeBSD/any of the other BSDs, you may want to look into those. Their development is a lot more centralized than Linux. This provides a good overview of what I'm talking about.
Let's finally get over the aversion to one main distro, or one of each tool and app. No one cares about choice when all it means is 40 buggy half-assed apps and no single solid one. It is a lot of wasted talent, time, and effort. With some direction and drive Linux could surpass anything out there.
And of course, there will always be people who think their way is better and fork...
I may be old-fashioned, but I see no need to use more than the assortment of paper I have on my desk for notes.
Paper costs ~$40 for 20 pounds; and I can pick it up, put it in my pocket, and take it to the grocery store. And if I drop it, its not damaged. An equivalent computerized system costs ~$300 (PDA) and does not respond well to being dropped. I would also have to remember to check my to do list. A note on a desk/keyboard/table/whatever is much more likely to be seen.

Actually, I'm wondering if 512M is enough space for core vista. The problem is OEM's preinstalling crapware on all their machines.

Go by kernel version (of NT) and you will see:
3. Windows NT 3.1
4. Windows NT 4
5. Windows 2000
5.1. Windows XP
6. Windows Vista
7. Windows 7
