"it is clear to me that it is the constitutional duty of the Executive— as a matter of sovereign prerogative and not as a matter of law as the courts know law—through the promulgation and enforcement of executive regulations, to protect the confidentiality necessary to carry out its responsibilities in the fields of international relations and national defense"
from New York Times v United States (1971).
Though my favorite gem from the concurring opinions has to be: "For when everything is classified, then nothing is classified, and the system becomes one to be disregarded by the cynical or the careless, and to be manipulated by those intent on self-protection or self-promotion."
That military contractors (DynCorp specifically) in Afghanistan were involved with child prostitution, and that the state department helped cover it up?
That we were threatening to go to war with Iran out of pressure from oil rich countries?
Oh I know, we weren't supposed to know that the British inquiry into the Iraq war was ordered to protect US interests.
Yeah, other things that damage the US were released too, but to quote a judge "For when everything is classified, then nothing is classified, and the system becomes one to be disregarded by the cynical or the careless, and to be manipulated by those intent on self-protection or self-promotion."
How much it is depends on what kind of limits you have. Server power draw can run up against building or power grid limits, at which point every watt counts.
That means that they didn't pick the electricity supplier and price plan which best suits their consumption.
Uh, since when are there actual options for that? I've certainly never had any kind of option in my power bill, let alone a second company to buy from. The gas company did have an alternate plan, but the annual fee was actually higher on the alternate plan (You borrow from the gas company in the winter to prevent those very high heating bills, and pay roughly the same amount all year, but with interest).
He was not asked to stop, at least according to the police report, the woman didn't find out the condom was broken until after they were finished. She is claiming he broke the condom on purpose.
I'm fine with the DRM, what I really want is the ability to sell my used books, to buy used books, and to lend my books out. DRM potentially enables that (by preventing copying but allowing transfer), but is instead being used to prevent it.
It's really not a huge change at all. The difference is, if Google publishes your book, instead of an expensive lawsuit you let Google know to stop that. And you still get payed for your effort, this just limits Google's liability.
Google's mantra of "don't be evil" can't be projection, they aren't projecting it onto anyone (you can argue if its a lie or whatever all you want of course).
A lot of the others are a pretty extreme stretch as well. Seeing Saddam as a brutal dictator who hates freedom was a fairly common opinion, more likely regurgitation of what Bush had been told repeatedly.
The current president of Iran actually *said* that Israel should be wiped off the map (or relocated).
Religions... ok yeah you have it dead on there.
You are also oversimplifying Bias into two categories, there are at *least* a dozen others, off the top of my head.

Assange is going to come out of this a corpse.
The supreme court disagrees.

Preventing legitimate online transactions in a felony where I live, so Mastercard can't really claim to be law abiding anymore.
A little over half were unclassified actually.
Which part was the US not supposed to know?

I am indeed locked out from the DRM books, though I can read them online I cannot transfer them to my digital reader.
Though why a public domain book has DRM on it is beyond me.

I don't seem to have any problem, at least with the free books (I can read online, and transfer to my PRS).
I'm not sure how well that will work when I buy something with DRM enabled on it. I do plan to try once I figure out something to buy.
