Using stuff that's cheap because it's left over doesn't meet the goals. It certainly could. This problem seems easily solved the same way we do in the engineering competition I participate in... use whatever you can get your hands on, but it needs to be available for purchase from somewhere, and you have to apply the full retail price against your budget limit. Then you still create a product that is reproducible within the design constraints, but you didn't have to spend 100% on your prototype.
Laws against underage drinking and smoking encourage underage drinking and smoking. Laws against murder do not encourage murder. That's the big difference.
You don't use the D-Pad to control the cursor. It has an actual optical mouse installed in the underside of the pad. The A and B buttons act as the mouse buttons. You can control the velocity of the pointer just as easily as any mouse, and you certainly don't do anything with your thumb.

He was at Washington University at the time, trying to get included in a debate at Arizona State University. It wasn't "their" property in any shape or form. The argument he's making is that because the next debate is on public land (at ASU), financed by public funds, he shouldn't be discriminated against. Makes sense to me.

Saying that OS X has "the power of Unix" is like putting whippits in my glovebox and saying that my car has "the power of nitrous".
When I was first learning about electronics, I was trying to find a simple way to convert DC to AC. I asked the RadioShack guy if I could use a bridge rectifier in reverse. "Maybe." Argh. Now I know better... what a waste of a dollar.

Hence the FLOSS acronym: Free/Libre Open Source Software.
Page and Brin may be married, living in northern California and all, but they certainly don't have wives... if you catch my drift.
