Consumer(home) has the absolute cheapest hardware possible
Professional(work) has standardized hardware across lines
When you buy 30 Dimension desktops, there is no guarantee that they will come with the same hardware, even with the same configuration and date of purchase.
When you buy 30 Optiplex/Precision, they will be exactly the same hardware for the same configuration, even if ordered a year apart.
Not particularly. The bible, in that particular section, uses a measuring system derived from the length of body parts. Nowhere does it say the measurements are exact, as they did not have exact measuring abilities at that period in time.
If you don't want to follow the laws of the US, don't use.com, use the country that has the laws you agree with. Would you be screaming if MegaUpload was hosted in the US and the servers were confiscated? Why do you think it is any different for MegaUpload.com domain name than it would be for their physical servers? It is a fact that Verisign has offices in the US, therefore it has to do what US law says.
Is SWITCH a company located in the US? Verisign is in the US, and therefore has to follow the laws of the US, so the answer to my first question is the answer to your question.
You may not like the laws in the US, but that doesn't mean you break US laws when in the US. When someone buys a.com domain name, they are submitting to US laws, if you don't like that, don't break US law, or don't use a US TLD.
If it was to move, it would have to be determined where it lived. Would you want it under NATO? The UN? Some other country? It is where it is because it always was, with these items there is no reason to change it unless something better comes along.
So far, the US has never abused this. The US has only gone after domain names in the US TLDs (.us,.com,.org,.net,.gov), not other nation's TLDs. If you don't want to fall under US law, then don't have a US TLD. If you run a site for people who like free stuff and you live in Sweden (TPB), than get a Swedish TLD so that your site doesn't get shut down (domain name revoked) in a nation you are intentionally breaking the laws of.
.xxx TLD was for porn sites. The porn companies were asking for this, as they don't want children looking at their porn; just like the US government. The porn industry wanted an easy way for filtering companies to filter them out so that there is less accidental porn popping in on normal searches, and for web filters for schools and such.
If non-porn companies are buying up the.xxx domain name of their.com domain name, they are frankly retarded.
Your example fails to take into account checkpoints, as these make so much money for the state, and can be done without a person driving badly, they are happening more and more.
But, absolutely,.08 is not drunk, that is like 2 beers in an hour.
Wouldn't that be lack of freedom on the other extreme? In the US, we are all equally free, my freedom to not have my freedoms ever taken away doesn't become more important than the government's rights to remove freedoms occasionally when there is a legitimate need seen. There has to be a balancing act between anarchy and fascism/socialism(or whatever you want to call it). Or else no one has any freedoms.
I have never heard of this happening. I have heard of however lawsuits against church displays on public property, but only when they are Christian displays, Jewish and Muslim displays are perfectly acceptable.
Can you point to evidence of this happening in any other way?
I also find it kind of funny that they support the depiction of Moses and the 10 commandments that is in the supreme court, but any other court trying to pay homage is slapped down.
Look how that "prohibiting the free exercise thereof" has worked out. The church now has to pay for abortions and birth control, something they find akin to legalized murder.

As well as missing the fact that the female is like 8 years old...
What about the battery?
And fought against the reptites?
Yes, but the only plans ever available with those were limited. 4GB was the limit I think when I looked into it.
In that case, they are committing false advertising yet again by advertising Netflix working on their network.
and Microsoft and Apple are nothing but patent trolls selling products to hipsters.
Funny thing about that is that it pretty well sums up Apple...
In the Dell lines the difference is pretty stark.

Were there ever 120MB laptop drives? I don't recall. Did you possibly mean GB?
This does a bit by bit copy though. There isn't a break of the encryption until the device that attaches to your TV, which was licensed.
Partial to Kaylee myself...
Wasn't that part of the joke?
(or at least implying it)

Been nipping on the antifreeze again?
The establishment of the agency in the first place was yet another stupid George W. Bush decision.

The Aviation and Transportation Security Act, passed by the 107th Congress on November 19, 2001,
At least direct your anger towards the correct people. This was passed by the Democrat congress of that time.

Do any countries not do this? I have been in only a couple countries and got the impression it was pretty widespread.
