Evidence is planted during legal searches. That isn't a problem with the method of investigation/acquisition, it's a matter of humans being untrustworthy by default. We're all looking to further our own agendas, be they breaking the law or breaking the law to catch people breaking the law. There can be no true justice while while trying to maintain some semblance of order and "freedom".
So... it's bad that you can be caught breaking the law? Maybe not breaking the law would be better then complaining about the cops being able to catch you?
Isn't the 4GB mark a limit of how many addresses the CPU can address? It's been my experience with 32bit XP that when you put in a 512mb card, your available system ram goes down by 512. I knew a guy that put in some beefy cards in sli and wound up with less than 2GB of 4 available.
My first car analogy on Slashdot!
I think it's more like driving around in your car with people in the back seat shooting guns out the window. Sure, you're not pulling the trigger, but they're still racking up collateral damage via your car.
Not only the above, but you can also fit more than a dozen tapes worth of data onto a single USB drive the size of your thumb. If you want to go crazy, you can get an external hard drive and carry around 100 more movies in a space less than a single tape. USB is a lot more universal than VHS.
I believe the argument you're really trying to make is, "I'm stuck in my ways, now get off my porch."
What kind of sense does it make to have to verify you're over 18 to access content with your G3 connection? Do a lot of people 17 and under have credit cards, their own laptop and a G3 card + service? Isn't one of the provisions of getting service being of legal age since you must sign a service contract?
I'm so glad companies and governments are taking it upon themselves to be my conscience.
What kind of connection do you need to have to get away with several terabytes of data before someone notices? Users on my network get pissy when someone downloads a few dozen megs.
I can't believe it; I thought I was the only person unlucky enough to have someone that vapid.
I have a girl here that always calls me saying, "I saved this picture in Word and now I can't open it? Why is Word broken!?" I sent her a publisher document and instead of double clicking it, she opened Word, clicked open, navigated to the folder, and then complained when she couldn't find it!
They get pissed at me when things don't work the way they imagine things should. Do you lock your door using your pecker? No, you use your keys. There are right tools and there are wrong tools for each job.
Apple only needs one version because they only have two types of client: Media designers and coffee shop hipster douche bags; and no one cares about the needs of coffee shop hipster douche bags.
Say what you like, but at least Apple keeps it simple for the consumer. Everybody gets the same version, and they can customize which features get installed. You get to choose if you want to install BSD or Developer tools, language packages, etc. I know there's also Mac OS X server, but the difference in price tag still helps to make it an easy choice for consumers.
So you're saying it's the government's fault black people don't have jobs and are on welfare?
"The white man" is keeping "the black man" down by giving him free money?
I take it that means no one would cry racism when someone would want to remove welfare programs then.
Requiring ratings isn't censorship; it's classification.
Refusing the sale of unclassified material is censorship-- especially when you have the power to both define and apply the classifications.

And if I was doing more than just booting to the desktop, 1GB is the minimum amount of RAM I'd want on an XP system.
What kind of sense does that make? If you raise the minimum, you raise the average unless you lower the maximum.

Use linux?
Hardly sounds like a concern of someone in an emerging market that would eye a low cost starter edition, but what do I know?
But will it run Vista? ...wait...
