Strictly speaking, it's not even clear what "open minded conservatism" would suppose to mean...
It never has been open minded, cannot be - the basic tenet is cherishing a conviction how things simply persisted & always worked; fairytales of how the promoted and supposedly everlasting state was good, hence it must be universally & eternally.
All the while to only sure thing is transformation of societies; and the little detail how, contrary to many opinions at least since the beginning of written history, the "moral & intellectual demise" of youth haven't destroyed the civilisation - in fact, although life is still shitty for a lot of people throughout the world, it's safe to say how, overall, times are better than ever.
What might possibly influence the perception of some past conservatives is how the efforts were directed mostly @external & acknowledged threats (real or only percieved, no difference) - but now there's not much else to do except to take on their own society, head on. Add societal dynamics not diverging too much & too quickly in the past, yet, away from conservative comfort zones and there you have it? Throw in perhaps inescapable, to some degree, "in my youth politicians were noble..." for extra effect;p
And intelligence doesn't have anything to do with it; it doesn't preclude variations in the need for solace / a wish to dispel uncertainty of the unknown.
the united states government is composed of the will of the people. to some extent (but not the whole way, and not insurmountably), that isn't true...
It can be easily argued how this "exception" also represents the will of the people - what you're almost saying outright; as long as that will is understood not as some empty declarations of repulsion, but as actions. Put it another way - if one of those good, common, passive folks gets near to having a slice of the pie, how often he will really end up opposing it?
It is my impression that such "passive" honest folks are natural beneficiaries, given the opportunity; personal level actions speak better than declarations when determining what's valued, cherished. What gets passed into general system of governance.
Though it's quite unlikely they're staying in a traffic jam of 62 miles...which is simply almost exactly 100 km; just a nice round number for news headlines, meaning "somewhere in the range of 100km" - and translated to miles with pointless precision.
Wouldn't really work with an exhaust confined to the atmosphere; a bit like blowing into the sail of a boat in which you stand.
If not for that small problem - we finally could have some use of all those nuke stockpiles... (nuclear detonations on west sides of steep mountains near the equator would be probably the closest to practical method)
PS. Aren't we launching space rockets primarily in the "wrong" direction? Did I find the culprit?;)
Uhm, all the better reasons why this small place should matter more... A place which generally did demonstrate the capability to sustain complex biopshere on quite long timescales (well, at least so far as the issue of time goes. Rapid destabilisations of equilibrium tended to take their toll)
Seriously, we don't have to be afraid of "mutated strains from space" too much. If some would be indeed different, that would simply mean adaptation to their particular environment - which also means less suited to Earth one & when brought back: typically outcompeted by "terran" strains.
Which doesn't change much on the scale of civilisation; pretty much the only one that matters in the end.
Don't kid yourself otherwise (too much - admittedly, it's fun while it lasts). Or - what can you tell me about your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother? You know, the one from the side of your father, then grandmother, great-grandomther, great-great-grandfather, great-great-great-grandfather, g-g-g-great-grandfather, g-g-g-g-great-grandmother, g-g-g-g-g-great-grandmother, g-g-g-g-g-g-great-grandfather, g-g-g-g-g-g-g-great-grandmother. Since I don't want to intrude too much into your family history, basics would be fine - like, a century in which she lived, continent, or language.
Some crucial "low level" differences, variants of biomachinery not seen on Earth (quite possible - there are few variants even on Earth after all), would be still a good hint.
Also, the summary goes too far - yeah, it would be good to depend, for life support of terraforming, on bacteria which can easily survive exposure...but typically they do that as spores, in a non-active state. So not exactly very active about what they usually do; "just" surviving.
Might get even more unpleasant if Oracle will be able to demonstrate (hey, don't dismiss anything in regards to legal system) that the purpose of Dalvik was to appear different enough while doing essentially identical thing, too. You know, law & its intent, letter, etc....
Sure, it's not uncommon for distros to use patched kernel, but that doesn't mean they develop it further in a separate branch. Typically any successive distro release takes again what mainline offers at a given time, and adapts it slightly.
Android can't do that at this point. It's essentially a fork. And sure, it's one of ideas behind open source - who says it's not? But it makes kernel of Android something slightly different.
Thing is - the kernel of Android is developed in a branched tree, separate from the mainline. Past contributions to the latter were neglected and deleted; Android is doing things which wouldn't be accepted upstream. As it stands now, Android has forked the kernel; it's Linux-derived, but not strictly Linux.

Just to wrap it all up, you should have mentioned how it's not about piracy, it's about losing control & a world which needs labels less and less.
It's about how Sweden is the only place with sustained physical sales - but labels prefer to ignore this because it's not via "their" music.
(not a bad write-up about the issue)

Or Amiga; not much of "afforded" in this case, too...
2000 years?! Heretic!!!

...mostly teleoperating (when it's needed) a mostly autonomous fleet of robots nearby.
Well, their clock does tick slightly slower...

"Go back"? You know, dismissing fantasies about the past would help a lot, too...

Time finite? How? (when comparing with some practical & very short base period of course - for example, "timespan of our civilisation")
Or do you live in a fantasy of n future quarterly statements?
One can always ignore maintaining those servers at some point (thankfully that never happened, eh?) and give subpar support.
Usually not that many people are really taking their cown compliants to heart.

IIRC Google Trends are also about searches; Insights for Search is simply newer / more advanced / generally still the same thing.

Then that's what Android is now.
