The vast majority of grade school and highschool teachers I know or have known of that are well versed in a specific field are not teaching that field because it was requested by someone with more seniority.
English graduates teaching math, math teachers doing gym instruction and gym instructors teaching health class.
And just like your friend can photocopy the book and hand it back to you, but you trust him or her not to, lending a game is not implicitly a Copyright violation.
Aside from the rest of the garbage you spewed which most everyone else already criticized healthily:
Lets say you start a company. You own the company, it is your property...like your skateboard or television. You have the right, because you own it, to do with it as you see fit.
When you start a company, its either a private sole proprietorship (your local labelling may differ) in which case the company itself does not exist in any real legal way -- it is simply a license for you to do business under a name, or it is incorporated in which case it is a separate entity all together. In the first case, your points are irrelevant. In the second, the company exists by the will of the people, via the government and legal frameworks created to allow the "personification" (if American) of the company and the protection afforded the owner(s).
As a result, the people, and the government have every right to tell you what your limitations are as you are granted the/privilege/ of doing business with limited liability to yourself by the state and the people who created and elected that state's leadership.
If you don't want to limit your liability and operate a business, please contact a lawyer cause you're nuts.
A lot of the ability of one company to hire workers and pay them a decent living wage and treat them fairly is the inability of their competitors to wipe them out using slave labour practices to get ahead.
Fair labour laws allow you to compete with other companies who would be less scrupulous in their handling of employee relations.
... and the people in many of those countries have more freedoms, not less. And more paid vacation time, not less. Oh and don't mention higher rates of equality, happiness and health.
But hey, feel free to continue defending the American experiment.
I honestly don't play the same games on a console as I ever did on the PC. As far as shooters go, while I thoroughly enjoy them, I actually prefer them on a console. No, not for the gamepad but whether or not my competitor has a better PC than me shouldn't be a determining factor in what is ostensibly a game of skill.
That doesn't even begin to get into cheating of course.
I refuse to run to answer a phone anymore. I have voicemail and I have caller ID. If someone wants to leave me a message, they're free to do that and if they didn't, I can see whose call I missed and call them back.
When I pick up the call and its silent after a second, I put the phone down on top of one of my floor standing speakers without hanging up for a few minutes.
I bit that bullet last gen -- PS3 and Linux everywhere else (well, Linux on the PS3 too). The PS3 cost me what my new video card for gaming would've cost, so it was really an excellent investment.
Now I've got a solid streaming HD media center without having to share those duties with my PC as well.
Within an album there is. If I know your [relative] and she tags a bunch of photos as "RiotingPacifist" in her Christmas Album, I can click "RiotingPacifist (photos)" to see the rest of the photos tagged that way (of hers, in that album).
The chatroom should be in IRC or some other CHAT program that has been audited for security around CHATTING and any linkage should be done externally so that perhaps the PDF would load #pdfopen-word2008docs on irc.adobe.com in your IRC software, but embedding chat in a PDF is just silly.
I'm sorry, which part of the world wide web's hyperlinking system don't you understand? Linking to related relevant content is the DESIGN of this beast. Linking to random cruft just to increase your search placement is link farming. Wikipedia is not the latter.
More importantly, I don't believe the RIAA wants to try and win in the courts at all since they have a very good chance of losing to a good defense -- thus the substantial "discount" offered for settling out of court.
I make sure to explain to my daughter how to be nice to people even if they don't fit her social conventions. Having geek parents helps with this understanding of course, but somehow she ended up being the popular kid in her class.
I'm not avoiding the rest of your post, I'm just not awake yet:-)

You're assuming a reasonable and logical opponent.
Unfortunately, the 'opponent' keeps believing they can make an unbreakable DRM scheme users will put up with.
Ditto :-)
I have several shrink-wrapped games I never opened because I bought them after beating the downloaded copies.

Report them as criminally harassing you. They have no right to effectively collect on a false debt.

You waste my time and I waste yours.

Ironically more people seem to get kicked off Facebook for posting breastfeeding photos of themselves than for posting lewd sexual photos.

Wikipedia contains a huge amount of excellent content on a very wide range of issues, and this is rarely debated by anyone who isn't just trolling.
The links are also not random, they are the first occurrence of each subject that also has a Wikipedia entry.
For example, in the article on Apples you'll find links to fruit and trees and probably farming as well.
Its pretty moronic.

It really is stupid. Although interesting.
I think "iTouch" makes a great brand for a baseball bat :-) Especially one designed for home security.
Say it as often as you want but some people will try.
You, my friend are why "Ask Slashdot" exists. Those suggesting Samba meanwhile obviously didn't understand the question.
What ogdenk said.
Using Access in this manner is crazy and a huge performance issue all on its own, not to mention data integrity.
Good luck.

Both are correct with different implications.
That specific operating systems shouldn't be required for school probably escaped the school administrators.
