It's not an answer at all since it doesn't meet the specified conditions in the question.
The asker specified WINDOWS 7. For that matter, you didn't even state a method of doing that in ANY operating system, you just said don't use windows.
If you want to know why I'm pointing this out, it's so hopefully others (maybe even you) will realize what's wrong with your post and avoid doing such again. I know, I'm being overly optimistic, but if someone doesn't at least try once in a while, they might as well just burn all the forum servers on the planet.
The military has very strict rules, and you are only required to follow lawful orders. In fact, if you are given an unlawful order, you are, by military law, required to refuse to follow it and report it to the appropriate military authority. Nobody is protected by "I was just following orders" for performing an unlawful action. At least with regards to the US Military. I don't know about other countries.
I read this when it first came out, I was 17. It is NOT pornographic. Heck, it's not even slightly risque.
You want something that borders on pornographic and still isn't, try looking at some some of those romance novels. The average television commercial is far closer to pornographic than "Ender's Game".
I think some people down there need to be introduced to a clue by four, or I would if I thought they had any functioning brain cells left to be jump started by it.
You have to wonder about the planes when they claim they are vulnerable to em interference from a device who's em radiation is less than that of your watch, the microwave in the onplane galley, the lightning bolts that go off even on clear days, or the radio station 150 miles away.
(Not all devices have this kind of shielding, but some do. Anything with wifi turned on definitely do NOT.)
And men where the majority of the women wear burkas or the like get excited by seeing an exposed ankle. So what's your point?
Besides, the laws against child pornography (at least in the USA) were written to keep children from being exploited, not pencils/pens. Anyone who thinks a drawing is the same thing as a photograph of a child is utterly insane. Of course, these are the same types of idiots who go after people for having bathtime photos of their infant family members on their phone because their spouse wanted them to experience as much of normal family life as they could while they were stuck overseas. I suspect if those people get their way, it will eventually end up that children are put in a robotic nursery creche the moment they are born, where they are kept in age and gender separated groups, and aren't released until age 21.
And no, this isn't some function of math (- or i) so that you can change a negative into a positive with another negative, even though the results can multiply when you try.
Of course, the law doesn't say digital copies have value either...
But that's not the point. It's an attempt to try and highlight the absurdity of the position the Mafiaa have chosen to take with regards to digital copying. And since you seem to be a bit uninformed on these arguements, Mafiaa is a derogatory way to refer to both the MPAA and the RIAA that also attempts to cast scorn on their chosen business practices be creating a mental link to the organized crime syndicates.
(ianal) I'd think not, since in that statement they are (to me) clearly indicating the old "image on a piece of paper" photograph, as opposed to the digital "information used to describe a visual representation to a display device" photo.
But when dealing with lawyers, politicians, and government spooks, they'll twist anything how they want it to achieve their goals.
You'd be amazed how often people have gotten away with passing off photocopied notes on regular paper. Make it something less than $20, fold, spindle, and mutilate until it looks like a properly stressed/aged bill, and most cashiers will take it even if it has a picture of "Bozo the Clown", and says "Trust in the Force". Really. I've even seen someone give them a Twee Dollar Bill. (Yes, I said TWEE) Most of the time they take it as a $3, something that's never been in circulation in this country. Of course, she's just playing jokes and gives them real money back as she tells them she wants her Twee Dollar Bill back. Some of them think it's funny, the rest are either embarrassed or confused.
Now mindwhip is talking about a good counterfeit, I'm just talking about what most cashiers will accept out of apathy/stupidity/ignorance/whatever.
Some scanners and scan software will refuse to capture the image of what they think is actual currency. Don't know the current list of which ones are affected by that, it's not like people do it a lot.
By default it is, it's missing an entire dimension, thickness (or depth) of 0. With no Z, it's just not the same size. Fortunately there isn't anything useful on the edges of the money, so you don't really have to worry about scanning that. >^_^<
Old joke, but too closely based in reality. Twice we had people firing guns at our house when it was evening and we were on the porch. Saw the muzzleflash both times. Cops wouldn't even call us back, much less drive by and see if there were any bodies.
My brother was doing security at night and called in some intruders that had broken in. The cops said they wouldn't send anybody else, so he said, "guess that means I'll have to shoot them." and hung up. Cops were there in less than 5 minutes.
It seems if it's not giving a traffic ticket, the local cops don't give a sh##.
1/64th of an inch. That's still the cornea of you eye, which I've always been told is very sensitive to damage, especially high heat. (I didn't see anything saying this device was generating heat, or only the sensation of heat.) The people it's been tested on knew it was coming, were not crowded or otherwise movement restricted, and knew what the target area was and how to get out of it. Even under those conditions, one of their test subjects still got hospitalized. Do you really think a mob will have any of those advantages? They can't even effectively get out of the firing zone of known and visible lethal weapons. There will be confusion, panic, knockdowns, and tramplings. Again, it's effects and target area have no visible effects. People will walk into it unknowingly, and those in it will have no idea which way to go will get them out, if they are even able to do so and aren't panicked.
This thing fails the basic test for dispersal weapons because of this, making it more of a punishment or torture weapon than anything else. You should probably just go back to firehoses, pepper spray, and tear gas.
If you reduce the price of an ebook by the cost of the printing and shipping of a dead-tree book, you still have the same profit margin. Also, a much lower cost for consumers, which will allow them to buy more books, which increases your profit. Books are a luxury, not a necessity, as such, increasing or decreasing the price has a more drastic effect on sales than it does for a staple like food.

Aliens?!? I guess Shredder will now be a Certified Public Accountant armed with a clipboard and a team of crack bureaucrats.
Come on, I don't care what it is, you don't trash the defining characteristics of a recognizable franchise.

I'd bet that Engrish article title was written by a native English speaker.
Maybe not, but still...

Two wrongs make everything even more F'd up.

That's because of the limited list of choices for USB IDs.
What do you expect it to be listed as?
Yeah, but the way I hear it, they don't go through the checkpoints like good little citizens.
It's amazing at what you can get away with if you have a GPS mapper, 4 wheel drive, and a spotter with a cell phone driving a few miles ahead of you.

sure, but it would be dumb, costs too much, you'll be losing money. (lol)

Then they'll sic the FBI on you for Terrorism, you know how afraid some people are of spider pictures.
They always claim they want the BIG MONEY... Let's make it literal !

Of those, how many had guns? (In the nightstand or otherwise available.)
Just because you can have a gun doesn't mean you do, and most people don't.

I have. An old book, or one with cheap binding, the pages will just pop right out.
