Riiight. Explain Mac Guardian then. Or the fact that OSX bites it in pwn to own first every. single. time. Protip: the first one to drop a machine get 10,000 USD so they are gonna go for the easiest target so they can get paid and since Windows Vista that AIN'T Windows. you might want to read this before you start touting Apple security.
The apple lock in he is talking about helps against social engineering. Pwn2own isn't about social engineering, it's about software vulnerabilities. Disclaimer: I would not like a lock-in. I do not use Apple. I am not an apple fanboy. I use Win7 and Suse (although I have used FreeBSD and Ubuntu).
But when you only search African Americans you will only find drugs on African Americans. You will not find the drugs on European Americans, True (Native) Americans or Asian Americans. This doesn't change whether they have any. Percentile far more of them may have drugs on them, but you won't find them.
Got hold of a playboy of jan 1981 a couple of months back (a friend of mine's birth month). There was a 5 page article with Jhon Lennon and Yoko Ono, without pictures.
I was in a Ventura, north of LA, a few years ago and we found out about the ATF. They came into a bar below our hotel and made the drinkers overturn their pints 'cause the ratio of alcohol/food in the bar's accounts was not the same as the licencing conditions. That's an intense police state.
While I am far from defending the US government, this may be quite different from the picture you paint.
Assume there are different licenses for bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
Assume the restaurant license is cheaper (since alcohol is not the main source of income and restaurant patrons have a lower chance of DUI).
This would cause a way to start cheating: Run a bar, get a restaurant's license and serve some snacks (to be able co claim you run a restaurant).
The license is changed to include a specific to determine whether it's a bar or a restaurant.
The bar you went to still claimed to be a restaurant (while not conforming).
The bar was warned a couple of times.
They fine the bar a couple of times.
They probably even told to the bar owner shut down.
At this point you sit down in the bar and they tell the owner to stop selling alcohol immediately and they raise a fuss.
...
Profit!
All this is caused by a bar owner that wanted to save some money in an illegal way.
Disclaimer: I don't know if it went this way. Most probably it didn't. But your anecdote is no proof for anything.
This IS a "bleeding edge part that costs several times more than it's marginal performance improvement warrants" It's about a freaking EUR 1K CPU! A large part of the users will water cool anyway, so why include a fan?
They did so in the Pentium age: they didn't have the process under control yest so there were a lot of errors: some chips had pieces of cache that didn't work, some had a lower max clock speed. They sold them as Celerons I believe.
It's about alpha radiation. As long as you can resist eating the stuff (or breathing it as a powder) you're safe. If you can't resist eating the stuff you are so stupid your genes should be removed anyway. If someone disperses it in the air as a powder you should still have the time to remove this terrorist's balls, legs and head (in that order) before you die.
Did they fix the F6 behavior? In previous versions, when you pressed F6 it selected the address bar. In 5.0 it did something else (seems to do something useless with frames) and I could not find the about:config item to fix it.
Don't load it with an AI, it would get depressed.

For the small trade-off you get cheat-free economy
Cheat-free is only applicable in online multiplayer games. You have to be online for that anyways so it doesn't have to be a problem. However playing a single player offline game shouldn't require a connection.
and you can play both single-player and multiplayer with the same characters
How is having the ability to use the same character for single and multiplayer games affected by this "always on" DRM?
Remember if you limit the game by DRM only the pirates will have the games without limits!
Will this finally mean a decent (really) waterproof phone? The Motorola Defy was good, but it's not really waterproof (my brothers' needed to dry after being in the washing machine). Just fix the damn SIM cards so they do not need to be placed by customers and seal the complete phone shut. Full waterproofing, end of warranty if you open it.
I can remember they did something similar for Gollum in the Lord of the Rings. For the last scene they filmed for the Return of the King they didn't have the time to capture Andy Serkis after filming so they stuck him in the mocap suit and captured him during the filming of Elija Wood and Sean Astin. This saved a load of time in postproduction, and due to the interaction Andy Serkis had to be there anyway.
I think you mean high DC voltage:
High DC voltage can be shorted to the ground with a quite spectacular arc or with a MOV (lightning arrestor).
High DC current can be stopped by using a fuse, but fuses are usually to slow to protect from a direct lightning strike (it takes a fraction of a second for the fuse to melt). The voltage driving said current can be shorted fast enough.

When you build a giant death ray nowadays you have to keep it secret to prevent breaching your contract with DARPA.

Pedophiles think of the children constantly, so I prefer not to. Don't wanna seem like one!
The cop car should have a camera that can be used as proof.

It's inhabited by aliens. They have almost perfected solar power, just like the asteroid in Ender's Game.
400.000 ton is 40.000.000 kg = 40.000.000.000 g.
No need to convert to imperial units and back.
Way more. The Hiroshima bomb converted below 100 mg of mass to energy.

Maybe the government is corrupt and wouldn't like to be overthrown?

Only if the glass is broken. As long as the glass is intact there is no greater danger than another electronic component burning out.
Since silicon is the main element in stone, we are already in the stone age in a way.
