If Microsoft turns a deaf ear to angry consumers on the issue of collecting data, the federal government has every right to nail them to the wall for it, especially if it interferes with our health and banking privacy.
But they won't, if Microsoft decides to bribe them big sacks of cash not to. Money talks in U.S. politics, and MS right now sounds like a jet engine at a rock concert.
For that matter, you could use the umpteen million pounds (or kg) of trash filling up the U.S.A.'s landfills. Plenty of pre-diamonds there. The only challenge is balancing the cost of diamond creation with the cost of new landfills.
Of course, at the bottom, where the pressure's highest, you may already have real diamonds...
Nope. If you want to program anymore, you're probably gonna have to do it the Microsoft Way(tm).
Lesson 1: Pay Microsoft $400.
Lesson 2: Listen to/read Microsoft Jibe that makes Nazi propoganda look halfway reasonable.

Not neccessarily... if you can buy them at $20 for a pack of ten, would a short lifespan matter that much?
As long as the lifespan wasn't inconveniently short, the cost may mitigate those problems.
Not to mention, if they do die of faster than CRT's, producers may be more interested in making them, knowing that you'll be replacing them (and paying the manufacturers) more often.
Microsoft, I'm sure, would be more than happy to take that load off their hands. http://www.usatoday.com/money/columns/maney.htm

That might not be a good idea - normal speakers have rather large magnets (do flat-panel speakers have a large magnetic field?) and I KNOW that magnet+hard drive=BAD.
But, if you can find speakers with shielded magnets that aren't too bulky...

Those are the two scariest words put together in the English language.
And I just know someone in Redmond thinks in exactly these terms.
And 640kb is enogh memory for anyone :)
Just goes to show, always plan for expansion, whether you can see uses for that expansion or not.
