In the US, at least, we've managed to trim back access to such powers by separating church from state.
I thought that the US constitution said something like "..shall make no law regarding religion...".
But doesn't this imply that a _religion_ should not be given tax exempt status? I could understand a charitable branch of a religion being given a tax exemption, but not the whole organisation. So, how does that work?
I suspect Disney have already seen how difficult it is to introduce a comprehensive DRM scheme when the pre-existing alternative has no (or easily circumvented) DRM.
So I suspect they will be looking to introduce DRM-Lite with only moderate restrictions.
Once embedded into the marketplace, they will then be able to increase restrictions and gently introduce the "view at our discression" limitations.
If a joystick really gave you better control, they would be using them in racing cars, where every advantage is sought. I suspect the primary disadvantage is the lack of feedback. In driving a car at the limit you need to be able to feel what the steering and suspension is doing. Simulated feedback doesn't cut it.
Unsprung weight needs to be controlled in motion by suspension and steering. So, geater unsprung weight has a negative impact on the handing of the vehicle.
Not so much to do with acceleration and braking (though wheel weight and rotational inertia does come into it).
As you point out, there are some advantages to the motor-in-wheel design which hopefully outweigh the negatives.
Exactly! These odds are meaningless.
For a start, the numbers are so large (chance so small), that people cannot mentally process them.
Secondly, why is there uncertainty and what does that mean for the outcome?
Are they uncertain about the mass, the velocity, the chance of an impact with another body first?
There is also the "legal issue" of setting a precedent by officially recognising the consumer's right to format shift the content they have purchased.
I'm sure Sony don't want that albatross around their neck.

Then, they'll expect to get paid when others use that new technology.
These guys have got to be the worst patent trolls ever!

I'm not certain, but I would think that these would still work normally if the engine stops.
Now, if you have electrical problems, you could still be in trouble.
which would compensate for that effect
I think you misunderstood.

Sharp nails and powerful glues are under the feet? Call me old fashioned (and it won't be the first time) but I'll walk around naked, thank you.
Lifeblog is a perfectly cromulent word!
If practicing writing helps retain the skill, perhaps this would help.
But it would be fun to put it on your dog or cat!
I think it works like this:
Win 7 is really Vista SP2
Vista SP2 was really Vista SP1
Vista SP1 was really Vista 1.0
Vista 1.0 wasn't ready for release.
They target civilians.
When you say "They" I take it you mean "those brown-skinned people who live in another country" aka "the terrorists".
Better us than them.
You wouldn't happen to live in the USA would you?
Here's a clue... It's not the "freedom" that people from other countries hate...
Not yet, but they are going to start on this guy...
Step1. Obtain a working Large Hadron Collider...
in the best tradition of American innovation
But how can this be innovation if no-one is making any money from it?
There was room for a backup of the data on the SAN
So, the plan was to put the backup on the same device as the primary?
Ah, so they were going to use the "What could possibly go wrong?" strategy!
Remembering, of course, that RAID is not backup!.
As a bonus, you could report all of their crimes yourself and rake in the dough!

I thought all hail was either "small" or "the size of golf-balls".

you will lock yourself out of an increasing number of games for the platform
But don't worry, you can download a hacked version of those new games from the internet!
the anti-particle of awesomeness
Isn't that called a zune?
Yes, that's exactly how they do it.
Also, I have evidence that aliens control McDonalds.
And Obama is really a woman.
I expect MS to heavily promote the "home digital hub" solution theyve been talking about for the past 3 or 4 years.
Oh, you mean this digital hub?
