I don't think you realize how similar what I showed you and what you want are. The difference is that the way you want it you need to name the parent at the definition of the child, whereas the way I showed it you need to name the child at the definition of the parent (and their parents). It's just inverted. Your way is better only if you want to build huge inheritance trees.
I wonder what's the average frequency of those pop ups? For me it was maybe once a week back when I used Vista daily. If that's too often, then it's a simple case of PEBKAC.
People can't connect the computers if they can't use them, and that can be achieved without killing the user. EMPs, extensive power loss, etc. But then this question would become the age-old, boring "What if civilization collapsed?"
No. Porn would simply find new channels. Porn is always one of the first adopters of any technology that can be used to distribute it. It's not the type to cling to old distribution channels (unlike some industries), and neither are the consumers of porn.
The problem is that the profitability of giving it for free is inversely proportional to the number of places that do so, which pretty much ensures there will always be one place left that gives it for free.
Fines are a lousy motivator. Fines simply make sure corporations don't break the law for small sums of money. If the profit from foul play exceeds the punishment, then it's logical to play against the rules. Hell, if p > (1-c)f (where p = profit, c = chance of getting caught, and f = fine) then it still makes sense to do it if you're inclined to do a little gambling (and business people generally are).
Could work. Having investors lose their investment (even for a limited period) would make them think twice about putting money in a corporation that may be doing shady business.

OK then, I wish the standard would actually be adopted.
Then you use a list separator, dumbass. Preferably a semicolon so there's no confusion.
I really wish it could be standardized with the decimal separator being either a comma or a period and the thousands separator being neither.
No, I think he means 115 Euro as 11500 Euro (thousands separators are more trouble than they're worth).
I use 7 bit ASCII on a PDP-10, you insensitive clod!
It's a right to buy.

A great idea, but I'm pretty sure subjecting someone to elevator-music for the rest of their life counts as a "cruel and unusual punishment".

Bah. It's robots. The rest is irrelevant details.

I agree with you. I have had vista on my PC for a while and I like it except for annoying security features.
Seriously guys, he called everyone who doesn't like video games a nazi. If you can't see it, you're not trying interpret his post hard enough.
Hey you, you don't get to make posts until you learn to spot humour in a purely textual medium.
Just don't try to "first post!" from Mars...
and Microsoft is recommending that all users disable the add-on.
Well gosh, that "unable-to-be-disabled" feature seems really quite stupid now, doesn't it?

So that he'll feel obligated to actually do stuff.
You just can not prevent someone from copying and distributing it in the manner that they want as well.
My memory is a little hazy. Could you remind me what the guy did here?
We let them punish normal people, so why not corporations? I fail to see the problem here.
