Alternately, manually load the DVDs into the players, no autoloading needed - if you want to watch a certain movie, you're rented the player that has that DVD in it.
I've got an IBM T221, 3840x2400 22.2", 204 ppi, and it's only fan cooled (and the panel isn't what needs cooling, the FPGAs that do the video processing are).
The problem is, that's not actually what's happening with the healthcare "reform" in the US commonly known as Obamacare.
What's actually happening is that the US is mandating that all people above a certain income threshold buy health insurance from the existing robber baron capitalist system.
#1: The carriers that are tolerant of unpaid tethering tend to be smaller, and often have poor coverage areas. The carriers that aren't, collude. #2: Phone exclusivity. In many cases, if you want a certain phone, you go to a certain carrier to get it. #3: The bigger carriers have enough money to buy off the FCC.
It's estimated that there were 5-6 million Apple IIs sold in its entire run.
As of the//e's launch, there were 750,000 units sold, so subtract that to remove the ][ and ][ Plus.
That leaves the//c, which was considered only a moderate success, and the IIGS, which was gimped to keep it from competing against the Mac, and was most often used as a faster//e anyway. (And, in fact, the//e was sold for a year AFTER the IIGS was discontinued.) The//e was considered a wild success, too...
And, actually, Commodore Business Machines didn't make any computers at all until they bought MOS, and their computers before the Amiga were all descendants of MOS designs, so it could be argued that everything from the KIM-1 (which was pre-CBM), to the PET (the first CBM computer), to the C128 were all MOS machines.
(The Amiga was bought from outside of Commodore, so...)
And, the CMOS 65xx variants were designed and (I believe) manufactured by Western Design Center, not Western Digital Corporation, as well as manufactured by various second sources. (Well, that's not completely true - the W65C816S was designed by Sanyo, because the original W65C816 sucked ass, and Sanyo had to redesign it to fix the bugs, when they needed a 65816 for something they were designing. But, this was very late into the IIGS's life, and too late for it to be much of an effect on the IIGS market other than for hobbyist accelerator overclocking.)
Depends on your interpretation of the first amendment.
If you take a literal interpretation, the DMCA itself runs counter to the first amendment. (The other question is, does the first amendment override the copyright clause?)
Well, I am of the belief that there'll be a massive civil war within our lifetimes, and all sides (actually, I suspect that there'll be nearly as many sides as there are people) will be scrambling for as much firepower as they can get, all the way up to nuclear firepower.
The intent of OtherOS was to allow you to run your own software. (Although, some say that the intent was to try to get the PS3 legally considered as a computer for taxation reasons.)
There are two groups that were wanting to hack the console: Those wanting full access or access at all to the console's hardware for their own software, and pirates/cheaters. The pirates/cheaters are basically script kiddies, though - in other words, they don't have the technical ability to actually hack it.
I believe there was minor progress, early on, made towards using more of the console's hardware within OtherOS than Sony allowed, but not much was done with it.
In any case, Sony's attempt to get the PS3 classified as a computer failed, so they removed OtherOS from the PS3 Slim.
That pissed off the people who were wanting more access for their own software, not none whatsoever, so they began hacking the console, to see how to get OtherOS back onto the Slim. An impractical exploit for normal use, but one that exposed more info about the console, was used by Geohot.
That scared the crap out of Sony, and that's what caused them to remove OtherOS from existing consoles.
If you have a Gold account, you can vote no matter what.
If you don't, you have to have a console associated with your account, and nobody else can vote with that console's ID (unless they have a Gold account).
Or, the other thing is, he could pay the judgement as quickly as he could, while maxing out credit cards left and right to pay for normal expenses, and then wipe THAT out every 7 years, to live, even if a massive judgement didn't get wiped out.
Of course, if things got to that point, most people in such a situation would start exercising their second amendment rights, I suspect.

First sale rights no longer exist if the product was made outside of the US, as far as the US is concerned: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/12/supreme-court-lets-ban-on-gray-market-imports-stand.ars
There is another way to do it.
Make hateful comments about every single person you know, and get them pageranked high.
Have everyone on the Internet do this.
Then, there's too much noise for the signal to be destructive.
Pretty sure there were commercially available 200+ ppi displays for PDAs back then, too.
But, I wasn't sure what Nokia was doing in this case - after all, Nokia also made computer displays.
You can get a reasonable priced laptop with 2048x1536.
The problem is, it's gonna be a 5 year old laptop, and you have to swap a 6+ year old new old stock panel in.
Alternately, depending on your definition of reasonably priced, not too hard to get a 15.6" 1920x1080 laptop, brand new.
How many years ago was this?
I've got an IBM T221, 3840x2400 22.2", 204 ppi, and it's only fan cooled (and the panel isn't what needs cooling, the FPGAs that do the video processing are).
Well, abusing the system for personal gain may accelerate its collapse, and may be the fastest way to fix it...
People can't drive worth a crap, and they pay someone else to do their taxes...

It's actually been reported that Sun suggested it, to convince Oracle to buy Sun.
Multiple reasons.
#1: The carriers that are tolerant of unpaid tethering tend to be smaller, and often have poor coverage areas. The carriers that aren't, collude.
#2: Phone exclusivity. In many cases, if you want a certain phone, you go to a certain carrier to get it.

Of course, the Z80 had a 4-bit ALU, IIRC.
And, the CMOS 65xx variants were designed and (I believe) manufactured by Western Design Center, not Western Digital Corporation, as well as manufactured by various second sources.

Which then results in Mexico - the people getting raided also get more firepower, and then get MONEY, and then just BUY the police.
Well, I am of the belief that there'll be a massive civil war within our lifetimes, and all sides (actually, I suspect that there'll be nearly as many sides as there are people) will be scrambling for as much firepower as they can get, all the way up to nuclear firepower.
Nuke beats M249.
Depends on whether the people whose doors are getting kicked down exercise their second amendment rights.
If enough of those raids backfire, then maybe the cost will be seen as too high.
Nitpick: Not all FWD vehicles are V6s, especially not GM 90 degree V6s.
Well, the second amendment was intended to be the last check and balance against a failed government...
That's 1.21 GJ for 0.8 seconds - a watt is a joule-second, so it'd be a mere 0.968 GW.
Department of Justice is executive, not judicial, branch.

Or tie it to both consoles and accounts.
