Of all the sports I'm familiar with, I honestly can't think of one where being smart, quick thinking, and strategical isn't an asset.
How about bowling? Seems like the only real asset is skill.

It's because his outspoken political views are not just unpopular, but based on premises that have little relation to reality.

There is a fine line between genius and insanity.
Bobby Fischer erases that line.
There is a useful legal concept which distinguishes crimes which are malum in se and crimes which are malum prohibitum.
Things that are malum in se are wrong in and of themselves, i.e., they are illegal because they are wrong. This would include murder, stealing, looting, and other things we widely recognize as morally wrong.
Things that are malum prohibitum are wrong because they are illegal; in other words, they are laws which do not prohibit immoral action, but serve to allow society to function smoothly. The classic example is the law that says you must drive on the right (or left) side of the road. There's nothing immoral or inherently wrong with driving on the other side of the road, but it is made illegal anyways in order to make traffic control possible. For obvious reasons, it's much easier to be granted a legal excuse to violate the latter rather than the former.
Unfortunately, some newer crimes like hacking are difficult to categorize. Are the actions more like breaking and entering, or are they more like speeding?
Games. Games, games, games, games games. It won't work, unless Joe User can play the latest, greatest games on the box without having to hack around with Wine(X).
The answer is because the public airwaves, being an inherently scarce resource, are held in trust for the public interest.
That's why cable/print/internet is a whole different ballgame.
No, you're the wrong who is wrong. "Broadcast speech" != "public speech." The key difference, according to the SCOTUS, is (a) radio frequencies, being an inherently scarce resource, are to be used in the public interest, and (b) you cannot prevent radio frequency broadcasts from penetrating your home.
I've thought of this too. If you already have real weapons, modding them to use MILES gear should not be terribly difficult, as I believe it operates by sound. It would be about as realistic as you could get. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that you can buy it anywhere.
If you want the "hicks, red necks, and vengeful religious fanatics" to stop bitching about PBS, then how about you STOP FRIGGIN' SPENDING THEIR TAX MONEY ON IT! If they're helping to pay the bills, why shouldn't they get some say as to what is broadcast?
I hate to break this to you, but technically, 33 bit is double 32 bits.
I hate to break this to you, but the parent didn't say that 64 bit is double the integer value of 32 bit, he said it was double the bits. Which it is. Why are you nit-picking something the parent didn't even say?
As long as they never promised secure locks, then what is the problem? Who are you to tell the consumer they may not have easily picked locks? You can inform them, argue with them, persuade them, but if they're just too damn lazy to get a different model, why is that the manufacturer's fault?
An even better analogy would be: you buy (let's be even more realistic: steal) an ink pen. The package includes a warning to keep the cap on when you're not writing with it. You ignore that and stick in your pocket, capless, anyways. You get ink on your shirt. Tech support, your pen-using friends, the media, all stress putting the cap on. But you don't. Finally, you blame the company for staining your shirts and switch to pencils.

Fancy that, Americans care more about reality than appearances.

Only thing I can suggest is HOME, SHIFT+END, DEL.

You're right. It doesn't concern us. Why should it?

Just use the element from an electric dog training collar. Unless your heart is directly between the two electrodes, it should not be dangerous.

Rather than having CIA pay a bunch of intelligence officers to monitor this guy, maybe the DoD should just hire him first.

I'm not sure how MS misleads their customers.
Erm...the users?
Using the Managed DirectX Library in C# or VB.NET is super-easy.
