And similarily, it wouldn't break any law of the universe to suddenly make something go faster than the speed of light (or other such thing considered impossible, if going faster than light is logically impossible), it would simply mean that we were wrong about that "law" of the universe.
But yes, I realize that "Moore's Law" would be better named "Moore's Observed Trend that is cited way more than it deserves".
When you post to a web forum, you're a guest on someone else's site. Google's ads will only be on the page if the host decides to have them (or, since you're being picky, if a guest copies and pastes some into a post).
Why do you assume that he/she used such logic? Perhaps he/she thought "Hmmm, putting nice images on the desktop. I'm sure other people do that besides me." I guess if he/she thought otherwise, you could claim he/she consider him/herself unique, another "sign" of a selfish ignorant prick.
Summary: whatever you do, there are probably a few other people who do that as well.
"[...] settle the question of whether the "the Hobbit," as the specimen is called, actually is a representative of a new branch of the human family, or not."
"For a number of years scientists have theorized that an impact on the Yucatan peninsula was responsible for the species crash, but microbiological examination of marine organisms of the time indicate life persisted for another 300,000 years after the 'Chicxulub impact'."
Wow, I wonder if there's still life on the planet in question...
Who gives permission? The teachers and administration, who bully students daily. No, they don't verbally taunt them, they just use fear tactics and threats to the student's academic record. If a student talks too much, he gets burned again.
School is a cage where the staff poke through the cage regularly.
That's simple: if the wife enjoys the time spent with you, you were with her, otherwise you were merely using her. Oh, and this is always open to retroactive invalidation, so years from now she may inform you that you were merely using here the whole time.
This would only be somewhat alarming if they were spending time with the computer, as in tinkering with its hardware or making a case mod, something for the sake of the computer itself. On the other hand, if this is time spent using the computer as a tool, then it's a stupid thing to report because by the same logic most people spend more time "with" their eyes, ears, hands, mouth, pen/pencil, book, etc., because these are tools and humans spend most time using tools.
Don't you just hate it when you're sitting in the basement and need to poke your head into the kitchen to see what kind of food is available? The snag has always been that oh-so-short neck, but not anymore! Just plug this extension cord in and be free of that limitation. Wireless version to be announced.
Put another way, if you could do it cost-effectively, the power company would already be doing so (and thus eliminating the peak and non-peak distinction).
Obviously the correct solution to this HDCP problem is to unplug the cables and blow in them, then plug them back in. The NES was obviously way ahead of its time.

"The big question really has to be what next?"
Hmmm... let me think. Another Harry Potter book?
"If the story was about Kleenex, would you complain that Scott Tissue was way better?"
Kleenex and Scott Tissue are both manufactured by the same company, Kimberly-Clark

How long until the bad guys make some that look the same, but don't just show pictures?
But really, putting these things on several bridge supports? Not very smart.

You think Gitmo is bad; breaking the "laws" of the universe really gets you in deep Guano.

"[...] but also nails you for copyright infringment for downloading music or movies."
Fortunately, you can avoid this situation by not infringing on copyrights...
...on your own connection, that is.
"[...] settle the question of whether the "the Hobbit," as the specimen is called, actually is a representative of a new branch of the human family, or not."
Don't you mean old branch?
"2. That said, I would say that 95% of violently anti-pornography people are, at some level, anti-sex."
Yet they keep reproducing! I guess one or two exceptions is all it takes...
Sorry dude, if Google were really spamming, their ads would appear on pages without the author's consent.
"Moore's Law is like the Energizer Bunny. It just keep's going."
Moore's Law is like the inappropriate apostrophe. It just won't die.

A handwritten diary is also digital (unless the handwriting is really bad).
" it's also a reasonable assumption that many people own the PS3 and don't have a single BluRay disc."
Aren't all PS3 games on Blu-ray discs? Not that I'd be surprised if Sony simply used it to push their drives, regardless of whether it would be used.

Never mind that; flying exposes you to increased radiation. Better drive instead (and be exposed to increased risk of being in a wreck).
"You want to incentivize people to innovate, and they're going to innovate on their own nets or a few other nets,"
Bzzzzzt. All credibility lost. Thanks for playing, Mr. Kahn.
Awesome, I can stockpile precious bandwiddddth along with my garage full of toilet paper. Hmmm, what kind of container do you hoard the stuff in?
Does it support that new-fangled touch-tone dialing, or is it standard rotary?
