Tablets don't have to be powerful, but I don't think the Atom is a good choice as well. You can get an ARM processor to use less energy. Since you most likely have to play around with the OS anyways to get it onto a tablet, why not get rid of x86, too?
Oh yeah? Well, I stopped eating all together, and became like the entire Pantheon all rolled up into one ball of pure awesomeness. The merest hint of a waft of my scent drives all the most beautiful women crazy. Try it.
Uh, no. Internet porn is far more convenient, so even if everyone were willing to go to the magazine rack and get a few porn mags, internet porn would still be viewed more often. So no, it's not for cowards (and I would dispute that they are cowards, they are just raised in an amazingly prude culture). It's like saying "online stores are for people that are too chicken shit to check out." Plus, internet porn is going to have more variety, just like other online services. Finally, the holy grail: Internet porn can be had for free.
If you haven't noticed, we are still in the midst of a recession. Work is still hard to come by. Example: A fast food restaurant in town was hiring lately, and they received 300 applications for 1 position, roughly equivalent to 1% of everyone in the county applying for the same job.
(Interestingly enough, unemployment in town is relatively low (still high for the young, though), but just about everyone works outside of town.)
It's not just cruft from yesteryear that lowers respect for law; there are plenty of modern laws that engender that response. Drug laws, for example, are widely disobeyed (see the massive prison population, the largest on Earth, IIRC), as are the drinking age, speed limits, laws against jaywalking, etc. With our luck under your system, Congress would pass these laws and scrap things like Posse Comitatus.
It's like the US drinking age. Congress has no power to set the drinking age, but they do have the power to deny money to states that lower it below 21. In the end, the result is the same.
Some of the best Sci-fi is from the 80s or earlier (though there are plenty of exceptions). If I torrent, say, ST:TNG (a show I saw through reruns and videotaped most of in the 90s), am I hurting current Sci-fi? Hell, I have the whole thing on tape if I want to watch it, so either way they make no money.
I don't know about that. "Democracies" not warring with each other is more or less true (although by "democracy" most people mean republics and constitutional monarchies), but there are some very aggressive democratic states out there. The US and Great Britain have been pretty aggressive, including overthrowing popularly elected regimes.
Just like how invading Vietnam improved life there! Or invading Afghanistan and Iraq made things so much safer! Just these wars give you over a million dead. So there's plenty of opposition to improved lives to be found. If they could speak.....
If the most aggressive nations on the planet (US, former Soviet Union) can get nuclear weapons, why not a country whose last aggressive war was, IIRC, launched under the Qajar dynasty? For all his bluster, Ahmadinejad probably says what he says for internal consumption.
I bet their basic support staff (maintenance, janitors, house keeping, electricians, etc.) in their offices aren't as dumb as a box of coal, and far more honest, too.
The keyboard and mouse combo Is equal to or less than gamepads for most games, but the demand for the combo is for shooters, where accuracy counts. After having invested plenty of time into both console and PC shooters, give me a KB and mouse any day! Aiming is so much nicer with a mouse
In Morrowind a Mage could easily be the deadliest of characters. With alchemy, one could make a potion to fortify intelligence, take it, and make a stronger potion with that effect. Keep going long enough, and the game becomes thoroughly broken, especially with the Atronach sign; your magicka will be insane. Casting that 100 damage in 100 feet spell will be a blast.
Not only did they shrink it, but the pre-Oblivion lore made it clear Cyrodil was a jungle, with parts of it turning more into swampland. Plus, the lore made the Imperial City out to be far more massive than it was in game. IIRC it was supposed to continue across the lake.
Feingold was part of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act, which I would say makes him a limiter of free speech. In essence, your right to mention an incumbent is contingent upon who funded you, and how close we are to the election. The Supreme Court has struck parts of this law out, but protecting incumbents so blatantly hardly earns him a gold star for defense of freedom. His opposition to the PATRIOT Act is noted, however.
Not all of it is high school calc. IIRC the integral of 4sin(x)/x has to be solved with Taylor series, and I only got those in the second semester of university calculus. One then has to take the limit to infinity of the resulting series, which may or may not be doable for a high school kid (not sure how hard the limit is; I'm too lazy to solve / look up the series)
If I have to guess, what they first did is solve for the various letters; in the video, each letter is given an equation, which resolves down to a number. Then they plug those into the equation at the bottom, resulting in X = 900.91/191605050401140404051920181525. Someone then had a flash of insight, noticed the 900.91 is similar to goo.gl, and thought that it could be a URL. But, just typing that in by itself would yield nothing. They had to get the random string of numbers to mean something. So they split it into 2 digits per character, 19 16 05 05.... and made the realization that those corresponded to a position of a letter in the alphabet. 19 is S, 16 is P, 5 is E, and so on. The final URL becomes: goo.gl/speedanddestroy. It's not impossible, it just takes some careful thought and attention to detail. I would have probably made it to the 900.91/number here stage if I had seen this beforehand, but the 900.91 is goo.gl insight probably would have eluded me, let alone dividing the numbers up like that.

If I do that, do I get Hollywood to stop making remakes? If so, it'll be worth every penny.

No, not illegal, just not enough demand on the rack. Some fetishes are not very common. How is any consensual sexual act "depraved?"
Doing business with government and schools can sometimes end up being making deals with the devil, as it looks like may be the case in this instance.

Perhaps we Americans inherited your British prudishness when we crossed that little pond between us.

I have heard they reject people of certain relgions (or lack thereof) and views.

6x was for blades, it was 3x for ranged weapons. At master level sneak you totally ignore the enemy's armor, which is very nice.

IIRC, DD-WRT removed ipv6 support in some builds so they could cram in other features like...RIPv2. My Linksys router has no v6 support with DDWRT.
D-link has had ipv6 for at least a year or two. Their DIR-825 (or 855, whatever the model, it's 8xx) has ipv6 and dual radios, IIRC.
