You're wrong. They've confirmed that you only have to buy one of the games to have all 3 races for multiplayer.
The Terran Legacy pack contains the same units, upgrades, and whatever else you need for multiplay. The only thing that it won't have is the campaign for Protoss and Zerg.
The rumor is that each game will have a campaign the length of the original SC, and if that's true, I'll be willing to pay for it.
Also, your assumption of a $60 price is insane. PC games aren't $60 when they come out, they're closer to $49.
Okay, so for your analogy to work, you would have to have ALL THE FOOD IN THE WORLD by default. You've selected a few things you disagree with to not serve. The problem is that there's a lot of food you don't know about that's still pretty dangerous to eat.
By saying "We filtered this dangerous food out," you can now get in trouble when dangerous food you missed or slipped past your filter gets served to people. Hell, you can get in trouble for specifically NOT filtering it out, and that's the trouble Verizon is headed towards if they don't say "whoops, this was a mistake."
It doesn't matter how difficult it is to do it, by filtering ONE thing, they're saying "Yeah, we can filter stuff." So, now they have demonstrated that they CAN and WILL filter content, meaning anything not filtered is stuff that Verizon is okay with.
Oh god, I've downloaded shows without checking the filetype and have been nailed by shit encoded in REAL. Seriously, it's 2010, who's still encoding for realplayer?
It's actually WORSE than a demo, because when you're playing, you're grouped up with people who have bought the best in-game items with money, while you haven't paid anything. It creates a negative first opinion of the game.
Just because it's a model that works in other places doesn't mean it's a model that we should be welcoming with open arms. The idea of a 'free' game that you have to pay real money to not get wtfpwnd every time you play is insane. You'll end up paying over the cost of what a 'paid' game would have been just to stay on an even playing field.
For desktops, build your own. For laptops, it really depends on what you're willing to pay, combined with what features you want. I've been using a Macbook Pro since late 2006, and I've loved it, though.
One of the policies at the hospital I used to work at (it may be law, I don't know) was that if you were on-call and got called in, there was a minimum amount of hours you got paid for. I believe it was three. The genny broke down and the head maintenance guy had to drive in, and the site administrator was pissed when the maintenance guy left when he finished, because she had to sign off for 3 hours, even though he had only been there for 15 minutes.
I have a lot of experience dealing with various nursing unions (the mothership hospital and the small branch I worked at operated an off-site renal unit which had staff from both hospitals working together), and from what I've seen, the issue isn't that specific teacher's union. It's the majority of them.
When a ship gets close enough to you for you to be able to visually signal them one of two things are happening. One, the ship's radio is out, and when they get into visual range they'll respond to your visual signals. Two, they're pirates about to assault your ship.

Windows 95:
"Official system requirements were an Intel 80386 DX CPU of any speed, 4 MB of system RAM, and 120 MB of hard drive space."
You're a special kind of crazy.

How long until the drones start leaking oil?

Those madmen wouldn't ever do anything, it doesn't matter if we have missile defense tech or not.
I love how people make 100 .rars for a 700 meg dvd torrent.
It's probably because the story is old.

This. For every single HUGE leak story in the past couple of years, there's been a torrent and links to it everywhere.
First thing I do when a family member gets a new computer is install a 'clean' version of Windows.
"As of May 6, 2009, Eve Online has more than 300,000 active subscriptions and 45,000 active trial accounts."
World of Warcraft has over 12,000,000 active subscriptions and hundreds of thousands of active trial accounts.
The tomtom thing has nothing to do with this. Saying that Microsoft should lose for 'revenge' is just silly.
And just like bittorrent, it will be mostly used for the illegitimate purposes.
How long until there's a monthly subscription that keeps your ping below 700ms?

In MA it's already considered a tax. It's either $250 or $750 for not having insurance, I forget which.

The last time that joke was funny was when your UID was considered 'high'
