The answer to your question is that actually, in fact, they are far, far more horrible than that. While in this case, the poster was merely not looking hard enough, the truth is that the horrible crime to which you alude has not come to pass for the sole reason that it would be 'too small time' and 'not evil enough' for the dreadful orchestra of malevolance that is the American telephone industry. No, their minds are far too occupied with plans even more incomprehensibly vile.
You're changing the situation by using the fake twenty to buy something.
If I made an exact replica of the twenty dollar bill and then brought it home, kept it there, in a drawer, for personal use, never to be involved in any sort of financial transaction, then who have I harmed?
This should affect retailers, not consumers. The liscencing is an issue, and as such it should be illegal for a retailer to either sell the game from an outlet outside the one it's region coded for, or to ship it from a location in the region to a consumer outside.
What it shouldn't affect is a consumer physically travelling to the region in which the product is legal for sale, purchasing it, and bringing it back home with them. That's just ridiculous.
Just out of curiosity, would your opinion differ if Person B is a stinking, filthy corrupt cop and I instead said "Don't you fucking dare give this to any stinking, filthy corrupt cops."*?

No, it's Fedora. These are developers, developing a product that will be released in the future, not the present. Fedora resembles the version of RHE that will be shipping when their product is released far more closely than CentOS. CentOS just looks like a crappy, year old version of the OS their product will be running on.
'Who's to say'? Well, Blizzard for one; they've stated that they don't intend on making any more instances for groups larger than 25 people. Not that they couldn't go back on their word later, but they've said this is what they intend to do, for what that's worth. I'm sure someone can link to the exact quote.

Not to disagree with the main point of your argument (which I, for the most part, agree with, other than trivial aspects I'm far too tired to address), but you must not played much WoW - to correct, there is NO XP penalty for death.
In other words, your PS3 uses network bandwidth and electricity you paid for with your money to calculate who knows what and send it God knows where when you're not using it and anyone who tries to stop their PS3 from doing this is a horrible person who supports cancer.
There's a tool called AutoIt that lets you script various things in Windows that I use to accomplish the same thing you're asking for. Basically, I have a looped script that runs on low priority in the background... whenever it sees certain applications running it changes their priority to the level I want. In some cases, it might kill one application or another depending on whether it sees certain other applications running - for instance, I used to have it set to kill all my P2P apps whenever it sees an online game start. The script can be compiled to a standalone.exe and dropped in your/HK/LM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/R un list or Startup folder, whichever you prefer. The basic structure of my script looks like this, with ProcessManager.exe being the name of the compiled script itself:
ProcessSetPriority ("ProcessManager.exe",1)
$c = 1
While $c = 1
If ProcessExists ("arbitraryApplication1.exe") Then
ProcessSetPriority ("arbitraryApplication1.exe",0)
EndIf
Sleep (30000)
Wend
Add additional entries for every additional application you want to have deprioritized to 'low' (that's what the 0 in ProcessSetPriority Means, 1 is BelowNormal, 2 is Normal and so on) and you should be good to go.
Exactly. The real insight hear isn't that it should be a crime to steal bits of data, but that it should not be illegal to steal money since it is only a representation of data.
I think there should be an in character police/town guard/law enforcement faction of some sort that should punish in character crimes with appropriate in character punishments. Preferably the police force would consist of other players rather than mobs.
You 'work as a security engineer in a datacenter' and 'had never heard of this site' before this weekend? That's the least believable thing you've said so far. About the only person working in a datacenter that can believably claim not to have heard of this site would be the janitor. If you ~do~ really work in a datacenter, you should be fired.

I heard that a big computer company everyone really likes just came out with a phone without it just the other day.

Yes, that's exactly the comparison the author made in the article.

Or possibly even have it randomly change frequency within a range of a couple hundred mhz at random every few seconds.

Or, alternatively, they could just go after us with a Linux tax.
It is Microsoft.
>What is a certificate good for other than to show that you can think inside of that particular vendors box? You nailed it in one.
Is Miscrosoft just going to copy Apple again?
Mac OS X is a proprietary layer on top of an open source BSD core.
Will the next Windows after Vista be a proprietary layer on top of an open source Linux core?

What's the difference?
Because at least ten billion lines of code have been written that define variables using int and expect to get a 32 bit space.

What, patent something they're doing in the microcode? The microcode is software! I thought we were against software patents?

In character action = in character consequence.

He said "on non-computer topics you feel strongly about.". Maybe he doesn't feel strongly about this topic.
