Product placement isn't neccesarily bad; it's lame to drink a generic drink labeled soda. It's only when they go out of their way to fit the product in that it sucks.
yes, that is a problem IMO, however at least the post may still be read if your threshold is low enough, so it is better than the aforementioned systems.
The reason only unstable morons sell it is because they are the most eager to break the law by supplying the demand. Cigerettes for instance are sold by businessmen who are not typically considered unstable morons. Joints would be the same if they were legal. Not liking those who sell it with regulations in place doesn't justify the regulations.
R_ij-(R/2)*g_ij=8pi*G*T_ij where R_ij is the Ricci tensor, R is its contraction, g_ij is the metric tensor, G is the gravitational constant, and T_ij is the stress energy tensor(for a stationary object in zero potential the time-time component is mass; the others are zero)
Congrats!!! You discovered the concept of solipsism! Would you like a candy bar?
I never said I exist.
Yes, things cannot be proven absolutely, as we hopefully all know. This does not mean I am merely assuming-- I am looking at evidence, and of course my existence is testable and I am observable.
Just because you can observe yourself does not mean you exist. There is no reason a nonexistant being(such as the ethereal dragon in your garage) cannot observe itself. You have to assume you exist in order for the evidence to be seen as pointing to your existance.
Again, why is proof necessary when facing the non-existence of something? What would indicate that this thing does not exist? When something exists, it effects the world, and obviously there will be indications as to whether it exists, whether it be indirecly (say, a footprint) or directly (directly experienced by our senses). If something does not exist, obviously no such indication (evidence) is possible.
You are assuming you exist. Do you affect the world, or do you just imagine affecting the world? Whether something does or does not exist has no impact on whether you can experience it, if you don't exist. Even if you do exist, maybe you are just hallucinating.
I, for one, would welcome our open sourced DRM overlords, than the MS "trusted computing" counterpart. Besides, we all know Ogg is superior to WMA, right?
Security through obscurity is pathetic enough for closed source software. With open source software it won't stop anyone. That would kind of render DRM useless.
Contracts can take away the rights of those who sign them, but both parties must get something in return. Microsoft's EULA's obtain all their validity from the fact that the can afford a prolonged legal battle better than you. The GPL grants the right to copy the software, distribute it, and more. Under copyright law you need permission to copy it. EULAs only take away rights and thus are invalid almost everywhere. The original reason for EULAs was a loophole in US copyright law, which was fixed quite some time ago, that didn't exempt copying a program to memory from copyright law, so permission is required to use the software. Recent court rulings supporting EULAs have upheld them, because it is 'standard industry practice'.

I find it oddly hilarious that an organization who's sole purpose is to stop the Soviet Union from taking over the world, still exists.
wrong
It can easily be transalated through frequency analysis

If the 'damages' exceed a certain amount or the violation is for profit it is criminal, otherwise it is civil.

electric fields propagate at the speed of light, so thats not a problem
I doubt it. plancks constant is so small compared to the earth's energy that quantum mechanics is almost precisely the same as classical physics.

No it would be tax deductible to give code back to the linux community, much like ordinary donations are tax deductible.
But matter is energy.

The constitution grants the states the power to decide, US law is irrelevant.
Both Bush's won Florida with TONS of evidence of voting irregularities.Where is the evidence that the first Bush rigged the election?
Unfortunately it is protected as Diebold's trade secret. Since the FOIA applies only to government agencies I don't think this would work.
Which section is that in? Title 42 is a bloated piece of ^G; I'm not going to look through the whole thing.
I could burn it a lot faster than that.
No it is viral, but it causes open sores(like many STDs), not cancer.

I think you mean trying to replace freedom with security.
Saddam had nothing to lose from using them, that he wouldn't have lost anyway. So why didn't he use them?
And why not use them if you have them? They weren't an effective deterrant, so why not put them to use?
A memory shortage? No, I don't remember that. I guess I must have a memory shortage too.
