I have to say the second list looks almost as alien as the first one to me and from the few artists I recognize in the second I would choose the first.
Why the hell do you think "everyone" is in quotes, I'm well aware that IE isn't (and hasn't been) used by everyone on the net, yet that is still the popular belief and it will take some time for this to sink in outside of those most interested. Now think of a situation where you can only reach peple by "outdated" communication methods (non-DRMed anything on the net is spam by default, if you are allowed to connect at all): will you be able to convince them to abandon the computer that "just works"?
I was talking about willfully allowng DRM'd hardware in my office. I can communicate just fine without it.
Yes, so far other hardware exists you can. If there is no demand for DRM free hardware there is a high posibility that all hardware you can buy will be DRMed. Wasn't that what you were taling about?
Hell, some people communicate without computers at all.
Some still do, but I would find the need to do so crippling even now. When "everyone" (think "everyone uses IE") is on the net there will be a significant portion of people and institution that you will not be able to effectivly communicate without it.

I choose neither if the choice is between 100% smoking or 100% non-smoking.
I think that other screens would be too disatracting in a fast FPS game (never played any Halo). Why do you call a splitscreen game 'LAN' anyway?
I'd rather play on a tiny DS screem than 1/4 of a TV screen.

Now everyone is into explrer style file managers. This would be very nice with Nautilus.

A video game defying the laws of physics!
Yes, the numpad is so difficult, no one would ever use that... Touch typists may have finger that bend diagonaly, I do not.
Why are the keys still arranged like on a typewriter and not in nice vertical columns?
Even a blinking twelve is correct twice a day...
I'm not effective with a phone :-/

I'm not talking short term nor worldwide.
You don't have to communicate?
They wouldn't say they use it if they would be breaking the license. Most of it should be pretty standard stuff: zlib, jpeg, png, vorbis.
On the other hand: getting all the euipment to play LAN Halo 2 vs. meeting anywhere, just bring a DS along.
If you are looking for a dictator to tell you what to use I can help: you are only to use Slackware and lesstiff GUI applications, enjoy your stay.
They have technology patents now along with their bussines idea patents?
It might be a touched version that isn't public domain.
So he is against outlawing DRM removers?
DRM is technology -> DRM is an issue for customers every time DRM restricts them.
