No it doesn't. To break copyright law you need to actually copy something, but when something is patented, no-one else is allowed to reimplement it, even if they come up with the same idea independantly.
My high school has heavier filtering than anything I have ever come across before (It blocks my whole fucking web host!!). Your point doesn't mean much in that regard.
it doesn't matter how skilled your users are if you have an unsecure OS.
If the OS itself is completely secure then it's the skills of the admin that affect the infection rate.
For example:
User A is highly skilled, (s)he takes all the proper precautions, but a bug in the network stack compromises the computer.
User B is not skilled, but has a secure OS and competent admin. The user tries to run an executable attachment, but because the admin hasn't signed it it cannot run and the computer stays secure.
While a Mac isn't quite that secure, you can see the difference. A Mac or Linux user needs to run the attachment AND either enter in a root password or have a privilege escalation flaw in the OS.
I got my grandparents to get a Mac, does that mean that they are computer-savvy?
How many Windows viruses out there get in with no user intervention? How many exploits do you see for UNIX which let an attacker execute arbitary code with root priviliges on the base OS install?
Being in high school now, I should probably point out to you that not shutting up is usually followed by punishment...and I'm not talking about things like talking too much when in class...I'm not in the US, although i doubt Australia is much different, but my school feels that it can punish students when they are out of school if a member of the staff hears him/her say something that they consider inappropriate.
If I'm in school and a teacher wants to punish me if I say anything in my defence instead of shutting up and taking it then I'm punished more.
Unless US schools are radically different to Aussie schools then kids aren't exactly getting a chance to exercise their rights...assuming they exist in the first place.
From what I understand, the code that goes on an FPGA can also be used to produce an ASIC which could run as fast or faster than the real thing, so don't hold your breath for support from IBM on that one.

The patents will continue.
Not everyone can just drop everything at will, even on a desktop system. Sometimes programs must stay up.
Some warning that my project which was accessible the day before would be unavailable the day of my presentation would be nice though.
This isn't a content filter, my whole ISP's domain just gets suddenly blocked without warning.
How about things like "I have programs open which I cannot close"
But...don't you use autoconf to make it?? That's what I do, and what I thought everyone else did.
That said no-one knows how it works. It's machine generated with macros, what can you expect?
I think if they were moving faster than light then we'd all be hearing about how relativity was proven to be incorrect, and not the solar storm.
Since when is downloading a piece of work I uploaded to my ISP's web hosting misusing my school's resources?
Because ratings are so fscked up that the only difference between them is that you need ID to get into anything over MA15?
It doesn't matter what is used, just that there is no visible branding, etc.

If Airbus's proprietary secrets were making them a monopoly, and they chose to abuse it, then that would be a good deal.
Half that? Over here in Australia Flash costs about $1000.
Do you see Windows encouraging people to use a seperate user account in the installer?

Umm...paper decomposes :|
Because people like to have lives other than schoolwork?
I didn't mention whether or not there was actually any legal authority, I was talking about it being exercised...even if it does not legally exist.

You mean from the perspective of Americans? That would be your poop-throwing primate up in Washington :P

Wouldn't it be 10%?
You'd need people to go through frame-by-frame to make sure that someone hasn't slipped goatse in.
Uhh direct debit?
