Stop right there.
unwarranted having no justification, groundless
American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language
There's no need to split hairs. If the cops had grounds for a warrant, and could justify their reasoning to an independent magistrate, they would have a warrant. A warrantless search is an unwarranted search.
They warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every male. They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. And they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword. And the people of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, and they took as plunder all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods. All their cities in the places where they lived, and all their encampments, they burned with fire, and took all the spoil and all the plunder, both of man and of beast. Then they brought the captives and the plunder and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the chiefs of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp. And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war. Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live? Behold, these, on Balaam’s advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the LORD in the incident of Peor, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.
And before you mention the Supreme Court - it is part of the U.S. Government. It is part of the problem. To have the U.S. Government pass a bill, then sign it into a law, then rubberstamp it "constitutional" is as illogical as letting Microsoft's Board of Directors decide whether or not it violated antitrust legislation. NO organization should self-police itself.
Yes, but that computer wasn't competing with lighter devices. If you wanted an IBM PC that could be easily moved, the Portable PC was (or was close to) your only option. Now, we have laptops, netbooks, tablets, pdas and so on. If you were a field engineer/scientist, and had, say, a ADC PCI card or a General purpose GPU that you needed to use, there are options. Niche options
But the lighter a computer is, the more often it will be carried around. Even eight pounds can be a burden, presenting the user with a choice between having it around, and leaving the heavy bag behind.
I know that many textbooks are heavier than eight pounds. But consider whether you instinctively carry around a few volumes volumes of The Art of Computer Programming on the slim chance that you'll be able to enjoy it over lunch?
Suppose that a bank employee carries around a laptop that allows him access to mortgage records. And this laptop is stolen, and the TPM key recovered, in time for other thieves to go and and edit records.
With the power to edit records safely in hand, the thieves sell your house, your car, your children out from under you... Even if the plot is foiled, the mistakes reversed, cleaning up from the fraud can take some time.
TPM is not DRM. I suppose it can be used that way, but conflating the two demonstrates naivete.
'near impossible'. Shouldn't that be 'near inevitable'?
No. Consider a strongbox. The best strongboxes, or safes are rated to withstand X minutes of attacking with Y Tools, with the idea being that within those X minutes, the security guards or the police will have responded and arrested the guy patiently drilling holes in the wall. Even though safes have been successfully manipulated, drilled, pried, lanced, or detonated, manufacturers still design strongboxes to thwart burglars, changing locks, adding glass discs, experimenting with new alloys, new shapes, and so on. Inevitably, some thieves will figure out a way to thwart these safeguards, and design begins anew.
It's not as if the burglars have won, and a burglary safes are a quaint anachronism.
The TPM should give administrators time to disable credentials in the case of a stolen laptop. But "secret forever" was and probably shall ever remain a pipe dream.
Under the law of the United Kingdom, high treason is the crime of disloyalty to the sovereign amounting to an intention to undermine their authority, or the attempt to do so. Offences constituting high treason include plotting the murder of the sovereign; having sexual intercourse with the sovereign's consort, with his eldest unmarried daughter, or with the wife of the heir to the throne; levying war against the sovereign and adhering to the sovereign's enemies, giving them aid or comfort; and attempting to undermine the lawfully established line of succession. Several other crimes have historically been categorised as high treason, including counterfeiting money and being a Catholic priest.
Very broad, and historically a means of keeping down democrats. In the United States, treason was defined narrowly, so as to forestall abuses. The crimes of sedition and espionage have been used to fill the void, though if Michelle Obama wanted some action on the side, that would be her business, not the state's.

Moby Dick was published in 1851, and recounted events "some years ago." So, Ahab died sometime before 1850. Edison patented the light bulb in 1879. Edison bulbs (and the necessary infrastructure) competed with gas lighting, not whale oil.

People criticized the LotR movies because the story was stripped down, moved around. I don't think that a straighter adaptation would have mollified all criticism, and in that respect LoTR is unfilmable.
If LotR was filmable, its appeal would depend on the appeal of the source material. Since you described LotR as a counter example to the rule "Novels are Unfilmable", it follows that you believe that films are faithful adaptations of books you nevertheless hated....

Wow! Your family has been paying off a mortgage for 220 years? Can you still pay in slaves?
Of course. But for political reasons, I'd like to see that any semantic difference between the two words dissolves.

Use it to break into a laptop and hope that the secrets obtained won't have expired in the meantime.
