The guy HAD a leg to stand on. It's about how viciously loosely DMCA is worded. If only government could be sued, they would be quite likely to lose, despite all signs pointing to them owning the intellectual rights to the software.
Note the guy didn't sue them for making/distributing illegal copies (because they were legal), or for not paying him money for them (they didn't owe him any). He sued them for copyright protecting device circumvention (cracking time lock). The fun part of DMCA is that NO-fucking-BODY is allowed to circumvent the lock. Even the owner. You can get your own sources and modify them, but if you lose the sources you can't reverse-engineer your own binaries to write a crack for software you wrote yourself. Evil, and evil squared, but still there. They did copy-protection circumvention and on whose software they did it is moot. If they weren't immune to DMCA as a whole, they'd be found guilty (and possibly pay a compensation as the violators, to... themselves as the victims - but also any other fees and such.)
Then DO run it at 512MB RAM. Just not the OS alone. Let them launch Photoshop, let them try to open a bigger document in Office 2008, or do any of dozens of tasks that are not a problem on a 512MB XP machine.
An operating system that leaves less than half the available resources to the actual applications is a serious mistake.
Operating system should be a piece of background noise behind the actual applications, a tool to switch between them arbitrate conflicts and manage resources. If there's no room for applications left, what good is the operating system for?
A train, or a further car of a tram might be a problem but the driver has a non-stop connection to the HQ and they have a hotline to the Police. It takes minutes at most for the Police to arrive at an expected 'meet-up point' and the driver simply won't stop until they arrive there - so potential thugs would have to jump through broken windows on the run to escape or get delivered to the cops. It's the driver's duty to have an eye on the vehicle and report all incidents (and you can always shout for help if they overlook it), plus quite a few buses and trams have cameras installed.
There are exceptions: football (soccer) matches. The fans returning home form gangs of dozens and more, and while usually carefully monitored by the Police, they do cause 'accidents'. But people here just pay attention to sports news and don't travel during major 'conflict' matches.:)

This is another proof that Iraq attempted to produce nuclear WMD.
By radiation. Small-to-medium bomb would easily fit in a SUV. Shielding that would prevent detecting it even with a medium-quality counter would require an 18-wheeler truck.
Still, you can either disguise it as a legal load of an 18-wheeler, or produce enough false positives (with unshielded depleted cheap radioactives) so that the real cargo goes through just fine. Or just contain the radioactives alone in a SUV-transportable shielding container and build the bomb at the target location.

I have one of these, a BMW seat mounted on two thick wooden blocks. It's extremely comfortable and the total cost was something like $20-$30 - the seats are dirt cheap in car junkyards, as something that occupies lots of space, hardly ever breaks requiring replacement and is very brand-specific. Especially the comfortable seats from more expensive models of cars - very little demand.

1) Sub budget powersupplies are NOT your friend. Lack of any good reliable circuit protection could easily fry a motherboard. It's generally safe to spend a few extra bucks here as power supplies don't change often. After swapping out a few $15 units, you might as well bought a $45 unit.
OTOH used good quality power supplies ARE your friend. People replace working 200-300W power supplies with stronger ones and there's a surplus of old good quality standard strength power supplies. They WILL die faster than normal but they are cheap enough and easy to replace, and I always keep a spare.
2) Sub budget motherboards are NOT your friend. Without tripping the power good line, you do risk your chip.
Only if you intend to tinker a lot. If the setup is to stay for years unchanged, these are reasonable.
3) Sub budget memory isn't your friend, though it won't likely fry anything, intermittent problems will lead to troubleshooting for hours, days, weeks.
I disagree. Memory is easy to test thoroughly and breaks by itself only in rarest of cases. Just make sure you can return it if the test fails.
4) Sub budget and old hard drives are your enemy. You're hard pressed to find one to live more than a year, and they tend to develop problems over time. You can try to troubleshoot software for months while the hdd is guilty.
It's all about networks. Many (most?) users have clients for all networks.
Bittorrent - you want one particular thing. It may be common or exotic, but you're pretty sure you know what you're looking for. (search - good. scope - very good. browsing - sucks. speed - directly proportional to popularity)
Edonkey - you search uncommon, rare, exotic stuff, or 'all of' certain domain, say a few thousands Stepmania songs. (search - very good. scope - enormous. browsing - poor. speed - slow)
Direct Connect - you browse for a new, common easy afternoon leisure time waster or other common stuff in the local hub of your town, ISP or school. (search - so-so. scope - poor. browsing - good. speed - huge)
Gnutella - no clue, really, haven't used for ages.
I was the kind of admin who supported a lab of 50 users. Not a single one of them had the same setup. There were five different SUN machines, there were all kinds of MS Windows and a few DOS boxes, BSD, Linux, most machines dual-boot, some triple-boot. There was random hardware attached to random computers as per need of individual users, and what could be made shared over the net, was shared. The infrastructure was extended as budget allowed it and needs dictated, without any centrally managed system of upgrades.
The users would simply not accept stripping access to their machines, not that I ever tried to. They all had very various specializations, and very specific needs. There was a some of specialistic, expensive software, there were hundreds of trial versions of what was being released new in the domain and the users had no other way to stay up to date with state-of-the-art. As I understand you, in your domain one admin for 50 users is not cost-efficient. One for 500 may still not be. In my domain, the work done by the 50 users was well worth my salary, and giving them freedom to do whatever they wished to their machines while smoothly fixing all errors as they happened, was essential to smooth operation and produced more revenue than savings on the IT dept would produce. These weren't number-typing drones, these were creative people who needed all the freedom. So maybe your approach makes sense where you work. At my work your career would be short.
I found out a somewhat different approach pretty efficient:
Assemble the computer from the '$30 class' computer parts. It WILL cause trouble in places. Return/sell/dump parts that cause problems, replace them with the '$150 class' parts.
It's a good middle ground between buying extremely expensive stuff from the start (I can't afford it) and troubleshooting cheap unreliable parts endlessly (I just don't have the patience). If it proves reliable, keep it. If it fails, replace it with a better one.

If you don't need tools, and you can circumvent by hand, it means your hand is the tool and should be taken away from you.
Actually, it's your head where the decryption takes place, so decapitation seems adequate.
