What the heck are you tinfoilers afraid of, people gaining illegal access, or people investigating you who have warrants? Pick your battle already.
Given that the LAPD was caught subpoenaing grocery discount tag records for people who bought too much hummus, and that NYPD officers were caught distributing security camera footage of a suicide to their friends for a laugh, I'd say both.
I hope you realize $120/month is cheap cheap cheap for health insurance. Even employer-subsidized for a young nonsmoker with no chronic conditions. Your experience does not equal everyone's. And for those of us who do not have an employer to subsidize health benefits, the options are pretty painful. "Overpaid consultants" my ass.
Sell it in the interest of parental control. Get the CDC/FDA/FTC/FCC involved through the same logic that restricts advertising during children's shows (although hopefully more effectively). Hell, get Jack Thompson involved as a way for him to save face.
We agree about what should be done, but your evaluation of Microsoft's accounting is dead wrong. It's only costing them money in bizarro world. They lost a sale, yes, but losing and gaining sales is how capitalism is supposed to work. You know, competition and all that. Windows licenses are a commodity, and the market does not believe they are worth what Microsoft wants to charge.
plants such as tea or coffee which contain caffeine that have not.
The breakfast beverage of choice in lower-class/peasant England before the industrial revolution was beer. With the advent of the factories came the necessity of a workforce synchronized to clock time, and the morning stimulant/evening depressant convention we know and love today came into being.
I just want to point out that a photographer preventing you from copying the wedding photos they took is within the bounds of the original short-term copyright enshrined in the constitution. If you want to buy the negatives, buy the negatives, but if you agree to buy prints, don't sit there and bitch about it.
I think it's spurious to consider niche software. Aren't there high-end graphic artist type programs that are Mac only?
Very few these days. Quark is the only one that comes to mind besides Apple-branded and Apple-bought apps (Final Cut, DVD Studio, Shake, etc.).
Also, Autodesk has been something like the 3rd or 4th largest software company in the world for quite some time now. There are literally millions of seats of AutoCAD out there. Just because you don't see it where you work doesn't mean it's niche.
Got bored at some ridiculously high level and never touched the Zapper again for years. Shooting things had been reduced to the level of 'solved problem'
It's all about skeet mode, at leat 6'-8' from the screen.
You mention CO (Carbon Monoxide), but the original poster is talkiing about CO2 (carbon dioxide), which may or may not be a typo by you. Your statement is correct as applied to CO, but as the OP says, this is not the issue. The issue is CO2, and If CO2 production from combustion goes down, the percentage of other nasty pollutants goes up. Pure C02 and H20 is the ideal exhaust of a 'clean' internal combustion engine, and the purpose of a catalytic converter.
A lot of low-end kiddie crap on TV is CGI. You have an up-front investment to build the models and sets, but once those are up and running, you can turn out a LOT of animation with very few new assets per show. If you use motion capture for the animation, and don't care too much about the animation quality and lighting, you can turn out each 21-minute animated show in a week or so.
Actually, there's a device for viewing a black and white TV in color that's cool and dangerous enough (involves viewing through a 31" disc spinning at 600 RPM) to warrant some serious consideration as a DIY project.

I bet I could make a graph that represents how the quality of movies is characteristically inversely proportionate to the amount of CGI effects in them.
...but isn't the number of kids turning 12 and signing up for myspace roughly similar to the number of kids entering college and signing up for facebook?

That's 12 dimensions for a good ol' game of Quake 1.
Not too hard to implement a return to the store/cable company on the grounds that your TV/cable box is broken, too.
Well, people are doing things about that, too.

Fair enough. "losing sales" != "losing money," and we agree.

Remember, the licenses aren't copyable the way music/software is, so the doctrine of first sale isn't even a grey area in this case.
One is an obvious application of established copyright law, and the other is a gross distortion of its intent and scope.

Oh, and sideways, John Woo style.
Oh, and with a 40-oz in the other hand.
Funny, I recall Space Jam both sucking and flopping.

Will your graph account for Pixar?
I don't really see how facebook isn't vulnerable to exactly the same thing.

Because DirectX chokes horribly on non-gaming 3D, like wireframes.
