You don't even have to go that far in making an analogy.
Movie theaters ask their customers not to talk during the movie so they won't annoy the other customers. And will kick you out if you don't comply. That's never been considered an infringement on free speech.
What's the difference between that and ordering a telemarketer not to call people because it annoys them?
That should be: "how to set up a wireless network" "Setup", "login", "logout", "logon", "logout" are nouns. "Set up", "log in", "log out", "log on", "log out" are verbs.
"Literally ~90% of all radio stations (guesstimate) are owned by Clear Channel"
Are you sure it's not more like 17%. There are 42 stations with moderate to strong signals listed at . ClearChannel's website lists 7 radio stations in Minneapolis.
Fry's employees are useless, but I've had good luck asking questions of other customers. For example, the Sunnyale Fry's is next door to AMD. One day I had a question about a motherboard. The guy standing next to me looked like an engineer, so I asked him if he knew the answer. He turned out to be a chip designer from AMD.
More than once, I've overheard a Fry's Employee giving a customer some completely wrong answer to their question. I usually interrupt and give the customer the right answer.
Huh?! Do you think child labor, prostitution, and tobacco weren't around before capitalism came along? Child labor, prostitution, and tobacco aren't found in communist countries?
Are you bored by your college major? If you are forcing yourself to study some area that you aren't interested in, don't do it -- it'll end up being your boring career when you graduate.

Unfortunately, at least if you live in Kansas, creationists don't share your "without any outside force" premise. No evidence from the natural world matters to those who believe in the supernatural.
I'm still trying to get a grasp on what it means to "own" a song I bought from the iTunes Music Store. What legal restrictions does Apple place on your ownership?
For example, if I buy a CD, I can sell it to somebody or give it away as a gift. Can I do the same with a song I purchase from Apple?
The "Terms of Service" says, "You shall be authorized to use the Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
Seems like giving a song away would violate the "personal" part and selling it might violate the "commercial" part.

When the iTunes Music Store opened, I couldn't wait to try it out. But then I started wondering whether I really own the songs I have purchased.

Aargh! Why did they have to give it a single-letter name? How are you supposed to do a Google search for "D"?!
In fact, I wish they would make it a feature of the language that you can't have a single-letter variable name. Every try to grep for all uses of a variable named, "c", in a C or C++ program?

That's what Apple was hoping would happen. But a whole lot of 500-pound gorilla Mac applications have been ported to Carbon. As far as the companies that develop those applications are concerned the port to OS X is done. No way are they going to spend additional time and money porting to Cocoa.
They showed one of these robots on the TV news. It seemed to be pretty noisy. My first thought was that the Al Qaeda bad guys would be able to hear the robot sneaking up from several hundred yards away.

A bit dishonest, but the guy was onto something.

Forget the dash. Why can't they make a GPS with a heads-up display!

Looks like they're trying to re-enact the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.

Carbon is going to be around as long as OS X.
