It's fairly easy to get out of, if you get out quickly. Both places I've been, you're pretty much either out of the front line phones within a year, or you're stuck there practically forever.
Pretty much all of those things (called "gateways") have an option to put them into bridge mode, making them act as just a normal modem (or in some cases, a modem + hub or switch) so you can use your own router or lack thereof.

If the book is available new - buy it If the book is available locally used - buy it (I prefer reading an actual book over reading it on a screen.) If neither - download it.
We're not building nuclear power stations for one simple reason: We don't know what to do with the waste byproduct yet. There are very few places on this planet that we can store it, and even then there's doubts.
France seems to have a good handle on it. They generate almost 80% of their power from nuclear and reprocess the waste.
Ethanol works just fine when done right. Problem being, due to sugar tariffs, corn subsidies, Detroit not making effective engines, etc. it is pretty much deliberately being done wrong.
Doing it properly requires 2 things;
1. A proper feedstock. Corn sucks for this, period. Sugar cane or sugar beets are far, far better and can be grown domestically just fine.
2. Proper engines. Current flex-fuel vehicles pretty much just replace fuel line components with stainless steel (high concentrations of ethanol will dissolve many rubbers) and tinker with the engine timing, amount of fuel injected, etc. This results in highly non-optimal use of the fuel, as it maximizes the downside (lower energy density compared to gas) and doesn't take advantage of the upside (extreme resistance to knocking). Ethanol has an extremely high octane rating at about 114 (compare premium gas at 91). This allows you increase compression (and thus engine efficiency) significantly without the problem of knocking. To use ethanol properly, you need forced induction (supercharger/turbocharger) and lots of it. combine forced induction and ethanol and you can easily match fuel economy (miles per gallon) and get a nice boost in torque and horsepower (or allow for the use of a smaller engine with the same power/torque.)
Not to mention at the high end of the income spectrum (~350k+), US taxes can (depending on which states/provinces and municipalities we're comparing) actually be higher than they are in Canada, in addition to the not-provided-by-the-government stuff you mention.
Their next project is to extend this to trans-life communications, but they're having difficultly deciding which afterlife implementation to use for testing.
The new thing with this seems to be the automatic temperature control. It maintains the optimal temperature (~65C) for making a smooth weld and thus minimizes charing/scaring/etc.
Real competition or real regulation, pick. Also, it would seem incredibly likely that there will not be any real competition in the absence of some regulation to put an end to the regional monopolies that Comcast and the other cable COs frequently have.
You might take a look at the new vuze 4. They've changed things up some to make it more like the 2.X series and it seems to be far more lightweight than the 3 series (Kinda like comparing firefox 2 to firefox 3). I've seen 3.X versions sometimes use over 200MB of RAM. 4.0 currently taking 45MB with 14 seeds up. not exactly utorrent's runs-on-a-486-with-14MB-ram trick, but it works fine for a relatively modern system.

1 Gallon of gasoline = ~33 Kilowatt-hours.

1. Legally, yes.
2, Legally, they're not required to even make the book available ever for it to be copyrighted.
3. They can if they wanted to.

Securerom fails horribly at even that smaller objective. Spore was cracked and out on public torrents 4 days before the release date.
I'm not going to be buying it, but that doesn't seem to be solving the problem, as they continue to push this crap.

GroundWork is doing a very good job of spinning this so people report "HP don't want everyone to know they're expensive"
Why would they be using NDAs if the latter is not the case?
It's called Canadian raising and if you speak in that manner, you don't notice it.
No, they just used Comcast "HD" for the tests.

You evidently haven't been playing any popular online multiplayer games. The stupidity of many players will drive just about anyone to kill.
Are you quite sure you're not getting Celsius and Fahrenheit mixed up?

Nope, they (The thingy is made by 2wire) release their source. Another guy upthread pointed out the download page.

According to the New Yorker article on this, she was getting help.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure that only exists for spouses, not brothers, sisters, parents, etc.
I presume you have experience in these matters. ;)

According to their FAQ, utorrent is not open source and likely never will be, which the GGP states as a requirement.
