The reason Windows "just works" on newer hardware is because the manufactures write drivers for Windows. The Linux community tends to have to reverse engineer its drivers, which means they are sometimes not as good, and take a bit to be released.
So you are afraid that if we are given something, they can take it back. Which they can do anyway; it would be just as easy to remove something without ever actually giving it.
Though some 800 million people on the planet now suffer from hunger or malnutrition, the majority of corn and soy grown in the world feeds cattle, pigs and chickens. This despite the inherent inefficiencies: about two to five times more grain is required to produce the same amount of calories through livestock as through direct grain consumption, according to Rosamond Naylor, an associate professor of economics at Stanford University. It is as much as 10 times more in the case of grain-fed beef in the United States.
As far as I can tell, it is not a fear of death; it is a knowledge that we only get one shot at life: when we die, it's all over. Thus, we should use all of it; and have as much as we can.
I would also say that F.lux (or Redshift for Linux, which works about the same, but is less buggy) is extremely helpful, though I use it because the red tint does not hurt my eyes as much.

Genuine question: Who stands to gain from increasing government (specifically environmental regulaton)?
That's the point. We have already been though that stage (for the most part).

I would guess that they are trying to prevent bots from crawling the whole site, or DDOSing them.
I agree with what you are saying with one exception: the word "literally" should never mean "not literally."

As a relatively left-wing person, I liked Empire. All of the really stupid things were said by people who were intended to be stupid.
The problem is that this is not a law; it is voluntary (for the ISP, not the user). Therefore, it cannot be repealed (by the government).

No it isn't The idea is no non-natural products should be used in the farming of the plant.
And here in itself is the problem; facts themselves should not be under debate.
Oh. I always think of resistive when I hear about old, cheap, uncalibrated touchscreens.
capacitance touchscreens
Do you mean resistive?
The ridiculous number of issues voted on in the USA is a problem which needs to be solved by getting all of the crap off of the ballots
Wait, what? You are saying we should have less of a say in how the country runs?
ummm... The extended universe has a lot of stuff after the 6th movie. Some of it is pretty good!

However, the ebooks and games might have been DRM protected; thus it is not a matter of cost, rather a matter of usability.
Well, it is technically a democratic republic (not that it makes it any better).
And I am guessing you eat other meat. Your point?
How is that different from eating any other animal?
Maybe we need an ansible?
