Heisenberg was specifically talking about being unable measure position and momentum precisely at the same time at the quantum level. For some reason, it has been turned into some meta-physical philosophical concept that I find annoying.
Yes. We can measure body temperature without causing people to spontaneously catch on fire. Yes. We can measure the temperature of the Earth without it causing it to explode. No. We can't measure the spin of an electron and know it's exact position at the same time.
You should be threatened.
Along with the ICANN port == channel stupidity goes tons of legislation that makes the ISPs liable for anything that gets past them. This includes having U.S. ISPs keep a blacklist of "non-compliant" countries. If you're on the blacklist, then all content is considered bad and has to be filtered.
The developer devices are open. If there was a way to keep developers out, then it wouldn't be an open platform anymore.
Producers can keep their DRM infested crap to themselves thank you very much.

I hate it when people quote Heisenberg out of context.
It always seemed to me that sole guiding principal behind SOAP was to evade obnoxious outbound firewall policies.

you && science == FAIL
You mean paying taxes on their less than minimum wage jobs? Yeah... that's the problem.
Just to be pedantic, the retail price of an unlocked G1 is $400 not $150.
My T400 is great.
It'd be interesting to throw the cost of bookshelves and space requirements for storage of paper books into the equation.
Nice priorities indeed. Because copyright infringement is so much more serious than rape.
