To the trademark lawyers, we're a really insignifigant portion of the population - most people really know next to nothing about computers.
I personally think that's a crazy statement. 10,20 years ago that might have been true, but almost all of the people I know, know enough about computers to at least install their own OS's and most definitely would know the difference between Apple Computers and Apple Communications. I dare to say that 90% of the population of North America has installed RAM, soundcards, CD drives, etc in their own systems before, and that all of them have had experience installing at least Windows, if not some Unix variant. Most 5 year olds I know understand how to hookup audio and video equipment, and have at least poked around the inside of their own computers (if their parents let them).
The statement that most people really know next to nothing about computers is just simply not true anymore.
If this stuff's gonna require line of sight, why not use wires instead then? (Wires won't let u go through two different rooms, but neither will this...)
OK, well I guess you could move around a single room easier....but then you have to worry about where you move, and not to go behind things that could potentially block the signal...
So if it costs 25% more to mill the corn, then why not just donate less corn but milled so that the resulting cost is the same? Better than not donating at all right?
What I would like to see is the 12AM and 12PM thing changed. Why in the world does it go from 11:59 PM to 12 AM? Wouldn't it make much more sense to get rid of the 12 and use 0 instead (0 AM after 11:59PM) or change it so that 12PM comes after 11:59 PM (and midnight is at 1AM)

Yeah, well I'd rather be in 5 non-fatal car crashes than 1 fatal plane crash
Argh, you know what I meant.

and how does gold have real value?
Do not install your programs to it. But wouldn't I have to reinstall most of my programs if I reinstalled Windows anyways?
