If he votes against it, this Republican will rethink his assessment on whether Obama is a total fascist. Not that I'd vote for him, ever. And I never thought I'd be proud of Russ "Anti-Free Speech" Feingold either. If he filibusters, mind you.
So what if he's impeached? Will that solve anything? Will the other entire government then turn around and impeach itself? Will voters stop trying to rob each other via the ballot box, and vote for Constitutional candidates? No. Have fun with this while not actually doing anything about the underlying issue...
"For the Republican Primaries, last names could easily be used. Ron Paul was excluded. His last name is too common. Using his full name is not a good solution either, because he had massive popularity on the Internet, becoming a meme of sorts, which did not at all correspond with his actual successes (or lack thereof) in the primaries."
So, in other words, any data that contradicts the hypothesis will be thrown out.
It seems to me that sub-notebooks aren't designed to be as general purpose as full notebooks, and are closer to information appliances than full-blown computers, at least as far as intended goes, so the Windows compatibility concern becomes much less severe. The only real concern would be getting whatever is on the sub-notebook to be modifiable on a Windows machine, which should be a default feature.
I've read that in the 70s, 4-function calculators went from high-margin, luxury items to throw-away promotional items. The only calculators I've bought are a financial calculator, and a scientific calculator for basic statistics; all of my other calculators are freebies. It took a bit longer, perhaps as the product is far more complex, but are we seeing the same ultra-commoditization of mobile computing devices?
You want to do away with the profit motive, fine. See how many people are willing to provide you with the products you desire for nothing in return. Although you might be too busy trying not to starve to death to notice, but that seems to be something socialists look forward to.
You want FiOS or AT&T, move. Don't whine that multi-billion dollar corporations aren't dropping everything just to make you happy. Talk about unwarranted self-importance...
Of course there is competition in the internet department. You have dial-up, satellite, you could lease a T1 line, etc. Your straw man argument that competition is the same thing as "murder," which is quite another type of activity altogether, doesn't hold water.
"Is this anti-competitive? It sure seems like it."
As everyone knows, taking actions to further your own prospects at the expense of others, i.e. competing, is anti-competitive. Only Special Olympics-style "competition" is allowed in our infantilized society.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be support available, I'm saying that selling only support raises questions about the quality of your product. Imagine a car dealer giving away cars, but selling maintenance and repair services. Wouldn't you be rather concerned about the car?
Why does it matter how familiar they are with "tech" issues? The position of President is an executive position. His job is to execute the laws that he deems Constitutional, not dabble in legislation. That anyone is asking such questions speaks to the fact that the US is in a state of prolonged decline, with a war of all against all.

Um, he, along with McCain, have done the most damage to the freedom of speech in my lifetime. What point are you confused on?

Clearly, the author is living in a world of 19th century physics. He may even be from an alternate steampunk universe.
Maginot Line? So you're saying their efforts are doomed to failure through sidestepping?
They are just copying China. We'll see if the Great Firewall of France is sexier, or spits in your food.
Disabling transportation seems like a good way to entrap dissidents and resisters, no?
I suppose, might as well be good for that.
Problem: Democracy. Solution: Delegitimize government.

Oh, no, try getting support on a good deal of the products you buy, not going to get any.

Last thing we need is a game created by a jurist with absolutely zero discernible legal philosophy to teach "law."

...isn't that an implicit admission that the product you are supporting is buggy, flawed, and/or has insufficient documentation?
...because, and I'm serious, when one thinks of Google, one thinks of an amoral to evil enabler of totalitarian Police States.
...of course it's going to suck.
