Tell that to H. Beatty Chadwick. He was jailed for 14 years for contempt of court for not handing over something he claimed he didn't have. He was never actually charged with committing a crime. While 14 years isn't holding you forever, I think many would still classify it as rotting away in prison.
I never said that there weren't limitations. There obviously is...it's an 8 bit platform running at a clock frequency less than I think what my watch runs at.
But seriously I find much more enjoyment, even now, playing old retro games from my childhood growing up with a NES and SNES than what I do playing modern games. I think the games were more original with better stories even if the graphics and sound were inferior.
It's much like how a well written book is far superior to a high def movie. My eyes may not see as beautiful of an image and my ears may not hear it, but my imagination more than compensates for even the best vision and hearing.
Boo fricking hoo. Learn to develop a game with what you have and quit yer bitching.
The best damn video game console ever was 8 bits, ran on a single core (usually), at 1.79 MHz IIRC. Gamers then logged just as many hours saving princesses, shooting aliens, and stacking blocks as what gamers do today. And guess what...they loved it. They fucking ate it up and went back for seconds and thirds. No, it wasn't photo-realistic 3D video with dolby-i-don't-give-a-crap sound and 87 button LCD-screen force feedback controllers. We didn't need it because we could have fun with what we had and didn't worry about frame rates or pixel resolutions or how many cores a OS management thread ran on vs graphics cores vs whatever.
Game designers these days, spoiled rotten little twerps that whine about everything.
If asked like that, you're going to get skewed results in most cultures. I'm somewhere between an atheist and agnostic. However I was once Christian but I've also attended other religious services as well. And even now, I'll attend a service, say a wedding, although I may not believe or agree in what is said in the service. So I wonder how I would be expected to answer that question...
Perhaps. Remains to be seen what the long term effect is. What happens when the NFL is "forced" to go cable only. Or worse, shows games on an uber-expensive channel/package a la Sunday Ticket. Is it better to require fans to purchase cable tv or an "NFL package" to watch the team that their tax money often goes towards?
Blacking out games has always been the NFL's idea, but it use to be even worse. With the original policy, all games in the home market were blacked out, even playoffs and championship/superbowl games. When teams first started broadcasting all their games, there was a very large drop in attendance as a result, hence the "need" from the teams/NFLs point of view for the blackout rule.
It wasn't until Washington was denied viewers in 1972 and Washington's politicians missed watching their team that things changed. The Attorney General requested the NFL adjust it's blackout rules, and when the NFL refused, it was suggested that the NFL's tax exempt status could change. Congress in 73 passed a law that lifted the blackout in home markets if they sold out more than 72 hours. That policy has since been tweaked to allow a sometimes 48 hour or rarely a 24 hour deadline if a team is very close to selling it out.
The NFL sometimes does point to Congress/the law and says in effect "don't blame us, it's not our fault. It's the law." but it really has always been them. It was the law that changed the policy from awful to just bad. And now it's the law that has changed it from just bad to it's-all-on-the-nfl. And with many teams looking at the local community to chip in for stadiums, I'd expect a large amount of backlash should stick their hand out for begging for money while simultaneously blacking out games.

Is it right? No. Is it legal? Almost if not everywhere? Yes.
NSF Awards $10 Million To Protect America's Processors ... The National Science Foundation and the Semiconductor Research Corporation announced nine research awards to 10 universities totaling nearly $4 million...
One of the first things they are going to research is how to properly add numbers.
Don't forget extra fees for the monthly rental of the disabling/locating device. Plus installation costs. And then removal if you should happen to pay it off before they can repo it.
I'm going to bet that "those guys" won't even send you a printed catalog for the same $100 that the kickstarter campaign is looking for. So the cost for detection is going to be orders of magnitude different. But you're going to have orders of magnitude more accurate results too.
That being said, you're right although I probably go with a 3rd grader. The kit diagram wasn't draw in crayon but it does look like the pencil was traced. It really looks like a primary school science fair project.
I was thinking something similar, although not just dumping it elsewhere illegally. Don't want me to throw out my compostables? Fine. I'll grind them in my garbage disposal and wash them down my drain.
I can't imagine that food wastes comprise that large of a percentage of residential waste that such fines are necessary, but maybe I'm wrong. For a restaurant/food service establishment, yeah, the numbers are going to be different.
Underwater vehicles have never matched the extraordinary agility of marine creatures. While many types of fish can travel at speeds of up to 10 body lengths per second, a nuclear sub can manage a less than half a body length per second.
That's ok. Marine creatures have never been able to match the capacity of underwater vehicles either. A nuclear sub can haul 140+ people around, fire torpedoes, and launch guided missiles simultaneously. Thankfully aquatic creatures are some distance away from being able to do any one of those things, let alone all of them.
That's just it. They are YOUR laws and your sovereignty, not Netflix's. YOU are crossing the digital border into the United States as Netflix doesn't appear to maintain a physical presence in Canada. Don't like it? Tough. You'd have the same response if the US tried to enforce it's laws and sovereignty on something that was wholly Canadian but possible to be consumed in the United States.
Because if you say the iPhone comes with Gorilla Glass, you've locked yourself into a single supplier of a trademarked item. If you just say ion-strengthened glass, you can use any supplier that can meet your requirements, not just Corning.

Have you tried contacting Google?
Does your domain have SPF and/or DKIM set up? Does your server have a correct rDNS entry? Is your server on a static IP address?

Way to go out on a limb with that though.
You forgot:
6) Apple obtains GTAT through bankruptcy proceedings in lieu of being repaid for cheaper than what it would have cost before #2
7) Apple vertically integrates a component of supply chain using change it found in their lobby's couch cushions.

I'd venture a guess the reason why is that you don't need 50k watts when the speaker is about an inch from your eardrum.

And if you use a HDD, you still should have a good backup as well.
Don't feel bad, it's ok. You'll catch up with the rest of the world soon.
Does any other industry have similar legal restrictions? Or is it just an antiquated law that hasn't kept with the times?
Probably a lot less then what would go wrong if we tried to live in a completely sterile environment.
