A 1.8Ghz G5 is physically identical to a 2.0Ghz G5 is physically identical to a 2.5Ghz G5 (except for the die shrink). What IBM does is test the whole batch of chips at 2.5Ghz and see which ones are not reliable or producing bad results. These chips are demoted to 2.0Ghz and the test is repeated. Any chips still doing badly are tested at 1.8Ghz. Any chips that still don't work are truly defective and get discarded, but the rest have now been sorted into the 3 speed categories they will be sold as with warranties.
Apple took the chips IBM certified would run at 2.5Ghz for the high-end G5s, and added the cooling equipment necessary to keep them within the required temperature range. OCers can get away with violating the manufacturer's guidelines because they don't care about support or reliability.
I expect that if people evading bans becomes a problem, they'll simply start banning by gamertag. That will cost you real money to replace, since you'd need a new subscription code.
Unfortunately, you are in a very small minority. I'm sure that at least 95% (giving your faction a very large benefit of the doubt) of downloads go to people who have no intention of ever buying the product even if they like it.
A copyright holder has the right to declare the conditions under which someone else may obtain a copy of their work (this is the definition of copyright in the first place). It is well within their rights to have one of those conditions be "I am given a certain amount of money". By making a copy of their work without meeting this condition, you are violating their rights.

If they want it to replace TCP, it will have to be completely unencumbered, and that includes viral licenses. Under BSD, commercial adoption would be possible.

If they don't use BSD or some other non-viral license, it will never replace TCP.
The problem with that attitude is that some people's faces and hands are sensitive to temperature, and those are much harder to clothe without impeding functionality.
Given the reality of how easy it is to find pirated content online in the real world, respecting copyrights is already for all intents and purposes a choice. Some people (like me) choose to pay because we believe in the original system that has been twisted but not entirely destroyed: The creator should be compensated for their work, and giving them 10 cents or less through the ITMS is still better than giving them 0 through Kazaa.
(That, and it really is more convenient to use iTunes than P2P.)
The iBook has always had integrated wireless support. That meant the actual wireless card was an additional $80 hidden cost. There were always some models that came with free wireless cards, and some that didn't, but with this rev Apple is putting cards in all computers sold.
The number of monitors a Mac II (or any computer) can drive is only affected by the number of video cards in it. My G4 can drive 4 unique monitors and TV mirrors of 2 of them.
Do you record all your phone conversations?:P And do you think Galileo had historical importance in mind when he didn't destroy his letters? He'd probably think today's historians were invading his privacy (which they technically are, even though he's been dead for thousands of years).
IM is fundamentally different from email in the same way that passing notes in class is fundamentally different from printed mail. It's far less formal, and the fact that it's real-time allows for completely different styles of communication (nobody would ever write a printed letter, and very rarely an email, consisting solely of "how was your day?", and if they did it would not be very important for posterity). More permanent methods of communication (email, physical letter) aren't going to disappear anytime soon, so you can still use them if you want.
they have been predicting this exact situation for the past couple of years. As one who has coded and worked with several web services, Bull Shit. It's not going to happen anytime soon, if ever.
Interface Builder on OS X can sort of do this, with the new Controller objects introduced in 10.3. There was apparently a demonstration at WWDC where the guy built a bare-bones but usable web browser entirely within IB.
This is essentially the same stance as "We shouldn't blame the virus writer for infecting your computer, it's your fault because you're an idiot." It's irresponsible to release a product with no safety features, or one which does not obey common sense (like the rule that if a particular user installs a program, that program's entire domain of operation should be restricted to that user unless explicitly expanded).
At this time, there is no guaranteed, quantifiable return on investment from going to Mars. If there was, big business would have been there decades ago. However, there is always the change that such a thing would be discovered if we risked the resources to go there. That concept has underlied most of the major exploration efforts in human history, whether to that group of strangers on the other side of the field or to another continent. Space is the same thing, just a larger magnitude.
The cost of space operations will inevitably go down, and the cost of resources on Earth will inevitably go up. Sooner or later, space will become a real possibility and a relatively promising investment.
The OP is absolutely correct- A lot of P2P software was obviously written specifically for copyright infringement, with many features meant only to make it difficult for law enforcement to trace its users, and yet it gets defended almost as zealously as this spam program is being attacked. You can't have it both ways, either it's the software or the end users.

They can and will ban Xboxes that don't match the default configuration from the factory. A software mod is still an alteration.

VRAM is not what prevents the iBooks from using Core Image/Video. The Radeon 9200 is not a DX9 chip and doesn't have the features CI/V require.
