The funny thing is that all those "If you want to... , it won't." statements are totally false.
If you really WANT to do something, you WILL do it. This just makes what you have to go through to do it more difficult.
You can make a general-purpose computer do whatever YOU want it to do, so I really don't see how making a recording with a computer and copying it infinately (with non-sanctioned software of course) is technically infeasable.
Hey, you were bitching about using non-renewable energy to power it and I offered a solution that doesn't use non-renenewable sources: light and water, which we seem to have a lot of.
You seem to be quite the extremist, even when offered solutions that you complained didn't exist.
How do you make hydrogen?
Electrolosys powered by solar arrays.
If we DON'T venture away from this rock, then I really don't see a future for humanity at all.
This is like Plato's 'Allagory of the Cave', once one of the men got free and saw what the world was outside of the cave, he realized that he had in fact been a prisioner in the cave.
We have seen and ventured into a bit of the universe away from Earth, and it's an amazing and hostile place. But to hold ourselves back would be denying one of our most basic instincts of discovery and exploration that has made us what we are today.
It would be sad to see humanity stuck on Earth, in the same monotony for the rest of it's existance.
If string theory is true (or as true as a unified theory can be) the smallest feature will be about a Plank length, which is the 'size' of a string, as well as point particles like photons.
I doubt that conventional electromagnetics would apply at such small sizes though.
'Rocket fuel' for the Soyuz craft are liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The main biproduct of combustion is WATER and because of the heat ozone is actually PRODUCED.
There's no CO2 produced at all from the viechle, but I guess you could say the ground veichles/transportation train produce some pollution.
Also, humans NEED to have a future in space, and we need experience now. We can't just wait for 'sometime in the future' for spaceflight, because with that attitude it will never happen.
Actually, just so you know, a more diverse spece is more likely to survive a devistating disaster.
A "pure" spece would be extremely prone to plague and genetic diseases (like how hemophilia was so common in inbreeding royal families).
Well, any propulision system will require input energy that will eventually run out. You can't build a perpetual motion machine, because that input energy is transformed into the craft's kenetic energy.

Smaller systems would probably have more survivability just as small insects are much more difficult to injure than larger animals. The smaller sizes of componants would mean that relative forces would be much less than on their larger counterparts.
I have converted all of my mp3's to.ogg and now use cdparanoia piped to oggenc for ripping any new CD's to preserve quality. I encourage people to use Free formats and protocols, and most of my friends now use vorbis instead of mp3.
Well, I'd assume that MS would use CPRM if it was available, but only for the marketing and PR people. They have to be able to present an image of "we want to stop copyright infringement", or they'll be seen as hypocritical when suing the hell out of companies for liscence errors.
If someone sees a problem in open source software they're using, they'll most likely report it to the developer because they themselves are at risk of that problem. This problem will then be fixed by a submitted patch from the finder, or from the developer themselves.
If someone sees a problem in closed source software, they're most likely looking very carefully for it, and are looking for an exploit that they can abuse to harm other's systems.
Security through obscurity is no security at all..
Hiding the mechanisms in a black box just means that when a problem is found, it will most likely be exploited before it will be fixed.
The funny thing about these people/corporations is that they expect to get trust without giving a reason for it. They expect consumers (we're not citizens) to put exclusive trust in them while telling the consumer exactly how much they don't trust the consumer.
Only for selfish reasons.
Under CPRM, one master disk cannot be used by OEMs to load windows on thousands of systems. Each must be installed by hand (or script), making the process slower and more costly.

between the actual files and apt should go rpm (the program) and dpkg, which actually do the work on the packages.

A ratio, by definition, is relative.
That means it doesn't matter what units you use.

Here's a fitting quote:
We might as well close the patent office. All that can be invented, has been invented.

Not necessarily.
You could use non-GNU tools with your Linux kernel, or even write your own shell/tools.
