The problem with using lasers is that they produce light at only one wavelength. This is part of why they're so efficient, they make only one kind of light. White light is a blend of light from throughout the spectrum. You aren't going to be able to make white light with a single laser, you will need at least three (Red, Green, and Blue). To make more realistic (whiter) light, you would want each laser to transmit more of its area of the spectrum, reducing its efficiency and making it less of a laser as the goal of a laser is to emit coherent light. This is why lasers aren't suitable for this kind of lighting.
Sure they'll miss out the US market, but with the way the US economy is going at the moment it's not likely to be a market with a lot of spare cash to spend on luxuries for much longer anyway. You overestimate the financial responsibility of the US.
Yes, they would have the encrypted partition. The way I have set up my encrypted partitions is that the key for the root file system is on a separate micro sd card that fits neatly with its adapter into my sd card reader. Any image of the hard drive isn't going to get that key material and they're stuck trying to brute force 256bit AES. For extra paranoia, you can remove the micro sd card from the computer and hide it in your cell phone, or even in your pocket. The card is so small that it isn't hard to hide.
The only asset that gets taxed in most jurisdictions is land. Other kinds of assets (factory equipment, inventory, raw materials, etc) doesn't get taxed at all. But most factory equipment, inventory, raw materials, etc. don't require a deed of some sort to show ownership. Patents, copyrights, and trademarks do, and they are similar to land because the government is granting you that ownership.
Of course, the issue (at least in the case of the U.S) isn't that simple. You also have to consider the effects of the gradual failing of federalism, etc.
It's not so much that federalism is failing as that it's being supplanted by a more nationalistic system where even the states can't really do anything. It's this additional abstraction between the people and the government that makes it more difficult for people to take control over the government.
An example of this is the DEA raiding dispensaries in states that have made medical marijuana legal.
You shouldn't be trusting your hard drive to secure erase drives either. It has its own sector swapping when it sees a sector that's hard to read, it will copy the data to a spare sector. The old sector never gets erased, and the fragment of whatever file was in that space is now where you can't delete it. If your data is that important, it should be encrypted on whatever media it's on. You can't trust a delete to truly delete every last bit. The best you can do is write random data to all sectors a few times and hope that gets through most of the wear leveling.
If you're actually attempting to prove you own a patent on the RCA connector Actually it's not RCA cables, but HDMI cables that he is being attacked for. The only reference to "Tartan" cables on his site is here: http://bluejeanscable.com/store/hdmi-cables/tartan-hdmi-cables.htm
300 passes is all kinds of overkill. 1 pass is usually fine. 10 passes if you're somewhat paranoid. If you have more paranoia then 35 passes will get rid of, then you just better find some way of properly destroying the drive, because it's never coming clean.
The problem with the fan isn't that it's electric, it's that it's a moving part, and moving parts wear out. Usually when a fan dies, it's not the electric motor that's wearing out, it's the bearings. The fans use brushless motors where the coil wrapped around the armature magnetically opposes the permanent magnet built into the rotor(the fan part) causing it to rotate.

I'm not talking about opening the door, I'm talking about actually getting the fuel out. I tried to drain the tank on my 94 Cavalier, and it wasn't possible to get the hose far enough into the gas tank to siphon. I didn't look too far into it, but I assumed it was some sort of mesh.
Most gas tanks are designed to be siphon resistant, making it difficult for someone to remove the fuel that way. As to turning a car into a molotov cocktail, I'm sure its been done.
From my experience, people upgrading computers really don't know what they're getting, and I've seen that after using Vista, they generally don't like it. However they have no recourse, because they don't know how to downgrade to XP (finding XP drivers for a lot of the new systems can actually be really hard), they either don't know about Linux or have heard it to be some evil, satanic program(slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean), or they don't know where to get it or how to install it, and they had a bad experience with Apple when they used one somewhere back in 1992. So it's not like they like Vista either, they just don't know about any other choice.

I stand corrected
HD-DVD doesn't have a blue laser, it still uses a red laser.

At the University of Illinois at Chicago, looking at porn on a computer in public like that is considered a violation of the sexual harassment policy.

Your DNS server probably still has the old IP Address cached.
Seeing as the site is back up now, they should just be thankful that godaddy didn't pull the domain registration.
You should see what they charge for wiretaps.

Server's in Israel, but WHOIS data goes to Florida, so there's still someone to sue.
Then file a DMCA takedown notice with their ISP. That ought to shut them up pretty quick, and is in a way an even more effective DOS attack.
No, you're not reverse engineering their hardware. You're cracking the encrypted data that their hardware put on your hard drive.
