2b. We embargo them. Station a carrier group in the Straits of Hormuz, and use airstrikes to cut all overland pipelines. China won't like it, may lead to WWIII.
The vendor will probably cite MAI Systems Corp. v. Peak Computer, Inc., where a federal court ruled that the OS is making a copy whenever it loads the program from hard-disk or other storage into RAM in order to run it (probably more copies as bits of it get cached on the CPU too).
Watergate had nothing to do with classified information/national security
Sure it did. Daniel Ellsberg leaked classified documents about the Vietnam War to the New York Times; and the Supreme Court refused to block publication. Nixon was so infuriated that he ordered Liddy and Hunt to fly to California and break into the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist, hoping to find some dirt they could use against him. This burglary, along with the one at the DNC offices, was part of the Watergate Scandal.
Since hurricanes mostly hit Southern states anyway, start using two names after we use up all the single names for the year. By October we'll get hurricanes like Bubba Earl, Ellie Mae, Joe Bob, etc.
Actually the U.S. owns Baker Island (0 deg 12' N, 176 deg 29' W),
12 nautical miles N. of the equator, and Jarvis Island
(0 deg 23' S, 160 deg 01' W), 23 nm S. of it.
So if we built an offshore platform on the equator near either one, we could claim it as U.S. territory (since it'd fall within the existing 200 km exclusion zone).
That would certainly make detective novels quicker. "The murderer had to be one of the 12 people in this room... so rather than waste any more time on it we've decided to arrest you all."
More like, "All 12 of you deliberately helped to conceal the murderer's identity, so we'll arrest you all for aiding and abetting, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice.
IANAL, but how does that jibe with the Chamberlain vs Skylink ruling? Skylink, a third party, manufactures and sells remote controllers which circumvent the "rolling code" access control on Chamberlain garage door openers. The Federal Court ruling specifically stated:
Again, this implication contradicts 1201(c)(1) directly. Copyright law itself authorizes the public to make certain uses of copyrighted materials. Consumers who purchase a product containing a copy of embedded software have the inherent legal right to use that copy of the software. What the law authorizes, Chamberlain cannot revoke.
Yes, just a big rock, chock full of raw materials we need for your trip to Mars,
The main requirement for a trip to Mars are volatiles for fuel and life support, and the moon has almost none of those.
Sure, there is lots of metal oxide laying around on the moon for building an empty ship out of ; but even then, the standard processes we have for making steel or aluminum require large amounts of carbon (to reduce the oxides) and water (to cool down the molten metals afterwards). Again, the moon just doesn't have those.
If we could find a Near-Earth asteroid with abundant volatiles like water ice and ammonia ice, it'd make more sense to build a base there than on the moon.
Joe Sixpack seems willing to spend quite a bit on pay-per-view fees and on stadium construction bonds. How much could we raise from zero-gee boxing matches onboard the Space Station? Or moonbuggy NASCAR races? Moon golf? 1/6 gee basketball? etc. etc. etc.
Much more painful to pick up CRT and take a picture. I know I don't want to move my 19" monster anywhere...
For the CRT, wouldn't the view be of the inside of the tube and the case? You'd have to get them to manufacture one without the phosphor coating, take a picture of that, then replace it with a real monitor...
People like to own things. They want to own their car, their house, their toys, and, likely, their computer.
I don't know that I could ever reach the point where I'd trust a giant company out there to always give me my information and allow me to use the things I want to use.
Do you keep your life savings hidden under the bed, or do you trust a giant company to always give back your money when you want to widthdraw it?
Now, if I'd asked that in the 1930's, a lot of people would have said no, and for good reason. It wasn't until we had deposit insurance and so on that people became comfortable with keeping their money in bank accounts.
Likewise, we'll likely need improvments in privacy laws and encryption before we get the same level of acceptance for remote personal-computing services.

Yes. They can also ride horseback and carry rifles, according to this documentary.

To an audience in Bangalore, no less. WTF?

So in other words, you got served? Does this mean -it's on- ?

No, the HMS Enterprise (1705); where it can't pose any security risk due to the lack of computers.
Yes, and by using Google + phrases from Zero Wing,
we soon find a peaceful solution to this conflict.

Too slow! Eat them cold. With some of wrapper still on.

Now, now: there'd be some public-domain television
shows (from 1948 and earlier) if copyright hadn't been extended.
"Candid Camera"
"Toast of the Town" with Ed Sullivan
"Texaco Star Theater" with Milton Berle
etc.
But no, not "Desparate Housewives" or "American Idol"
for another half-century.
Firefox 1.0 has barely been out six months; I wouldn't expect a large corporation to embrace something that's still 0.whatever.

Yay! Now we can make the future of Xenozoic Tales (aka "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs") a reality...
They're still pissed that Minitel didn't become the standard instead of the Internet.

Be sure to read 'Configure' magazine beforehand.
And after you finish reading 'Make', read it again
(but just the Install section).
True, but presumably the inhabitants will be stoned and listening to "Yessongs" most of the time, so they won't notice.
