Linux would not be a viable option until it has complete support for Windows games. Not ports, but support for. Not Wine...but true support for (or at least...native-speed support, which WINE has never been in my experience). Never said it would happen, merely that is what it would take to be viable for me.
I don't see how profiting off of a video game depicting war is much different than the companies that profited off of the 'patriotic' t-shirts and memorabilia after 9/11.
POPS is built into the PSP core firmware/software package by Sony themselves. All modding the PSP does, is allow it to run unsigned code (read: ISOs of PS1 games). The PS1 games you buy from the Sony store are just repackaged ISOs with some information in the header/encryption. You're just using the hardware/software in a way that Sony doesn't like. I've never done it with a phone, but from what I've read, jailbreaking many phones is done to accomplish the same thing (running unsigned code). You paid for the hardware, you should be able to use it however you like.
Excellently put, good sir. I've encountered far to many ignorant people who think DARE is the end of the road as far as substance abuse education.
If you do a little research, you'll find that alcohol is a MUCH bigger problem in American society (as far as effects to the end user), than most of the illicit drugs are, especially on a use-by-use basis. One of the biggest problems with alot of the illicit drugs, is the market that you have to go through to obtain them, and the people you have to know. Those two things will create bigger problems for the users than the drugs will by far (if used in moderation / recreationally; hardcore physical and/or phsychological dependence is its own problem, which very much occurs with alcohol as well).

I heard that exact line far too often while growing up in Utah..... *sadface*
