You can copy wikipedia because it's published under GPL, and that gives you the right to copy it. You can copy facts out of any encyclopedia.
Let's go back to to the fixing a computer issue. You ask the user what's wrong, then you check for the problem yourself (or just get started reinstalling the operating system, something doctors can't do). Maybe you open the computer to check the hardware. A doctor's job is to treat a person, and that person knows more than the doctor about what's wrong because it's their body. For the doctor to do their job they'd have to listen to a person to understand what's going on, and treat them properly.
Civilization is based on the principle of limiting one person's freedom to protect another persons freedom. You don't have the freedom to murder, so you have the freedom not to be murdered. You don't have the freedom to steal, so you have the freedom to keep your property. You don't have the freedom to rape, so you have the freedom to chose to have sex with another consenting adult (if people had the freedom to rape, you couldn't chose when to have sex, it would be forced on you). This concept is called civilization; the alternative is might = right.
That's like saying because Ford owns the patent on your car, therefore Ford can tell you where and how you can drive it. A car, like a computer, is a piece of technology, capable of doing many things.
Someone makes a piece of technology that processes 1s and 0s (hardware). Someone else tells the technology what set of 1s and 0s to process; the hardware is not predisposed to use one set of 1s & 0s over the another, although one set may give a desired result the other set does not. The hardware is a physical object, while the software is information.
People aren't computers. You're fixing the computer, not the user. The doctor's job is to treat the person, not to maintain an object. They owe that person respect.
Blind people can hear other's voice, feel other's touch, and in many ways they (and other disabled people) are even more dependent on the people around them than able bodied people are, and are therefore more connected to the real world.
It's the difference between playing paint ball and being in Iraq. In the real world you can't just change your user name, and you can get hurt.
Clearly when the global economy goes to hell exports and imports will drop. That doesn't mean lower exports and imports made the problem worse, just that they were a symptom of it. Correlation is not causation. Your own link says...
Scholars disagree over the extent of protection actually afforded by the Smoot-Hawley tariff; they also differ over the issue of whether the tariff provoked a wave of foreign retaliation that plunged the world deeper into the Great Depression.
Keyboards are less of a liability than any newfangled input device would be, and will be for a long time, however replacing the keyboard would help many users with disabilities.
Actually the government fighting it's self is called politics. It's at least as hard as keeping Windows stable, and is equally susceptible to stupid user syndrome. Sadly there is no easy solution to that problem like running Linux.
Install noscript, and use it to turn off plug ins except where you want them. My computer is set with a default deny policy for browsing the internet.
I have noscript, I block everything untrusted, including flash and iframe, I also have CookieSafe, and I block all cookies except those I want, and I have adblock plus to block all adds, and malicious tracking sites. NoScript will block almost all active content in Firefox. If that's not good enough install Opera, and configure it how you want it (Opera is easier to configure to block all content than Firefox).
You can always install Linux. That'll give you better security then taking your XP box off-line and transferring data with a flash drive.
I use a default deny policy when browsing the internet. There are only a few sites that have any business running scrips or giving me cookies. Everyone else is blocked.
The seeing people again part, having them recognize your face, being able to fact check other people's statements (by mutual friends). Being able to touch each other (for better or worse); you can be hurt if you start a fight, or get arrested, and you can have sex, have a child. The internet is not the real world.

You can't legislate a fact. The Catholic church couldn't make the world flat, no matter how hard they tried. This is no different.

Every elementary school that teaches that fact must pay me royalties, if I want to let them teach it at all.
I couldn't agree more, and if it's software, it should be open source.

The court wouldn't have to be in the US.

Protecting the helpless from the greedy is one of the most noble callings in this life.

Correction, naked beer drinkers who post it on the internet.
Every Mac OS I've ever worked with has been idiot proof, and that's starting comparing it to Windows 3.1 when I was 10.

Agreed completely. Never provide your real identity when a fake will do. Problem solved.
Hasn't it always been?

He needs something that will install from a flash drive. Is there a Gentoo USB live disk setup program?
Then get a Mac. It's still a Unix kernel, and it just works.
I used to use Stardock windowblinds before I switched to Linux, it does a nice job of jazzing up XP.
