This is perfect! We can all play this with our children to help build their self esteem, and promote their understanding that everyone is just as smart as everyone else.
It's worse than that. They don't even have to rationalize that it is the name of a person. They can just make up a short story right there on the spot, and name it with whatever random sting of characters they have, and they have now created a perfectly valid proper noun that is completely within the spirit of the new rules.

Zxggrta: The story of a boy playing Scrabble
There once was a boy playing scrabble. He didn't have any real words in his tiles, so he decided to write a short story called "Zxggrta". Since he wrote the story, "Zxggrta" is now a valid word in Scrabble.
I don't know what Apple you are talking about, but having a green plus symbol shrink a window is not the kind of thing I would say was designed by someone "brilliant at honing user interfaces". The Mac I have sitting here, works just fine as a computer, but it is noticeably behind MS and Linux in UI.
More likely, just like they have done with the green + shrinking windows, they will just convince a small chunk of the population that crappy search is good, and that the people who don't see it are just not part of the elite. As long as that chunk is big enough to make a profit, they will do just fine.
No you can't. Well being is a subjective state. That also doesn't answer the other questions. You are just doing as most people through history have done, and believing that your version of morality is the one true morality, and dismissing the obvious holes in your explanation for why.
If your going to go that route, then every old console and computer emulator out there qualifies. How many platforms does MESS/MAME/Frodo/SNES9x/Stella/UAE/etc... run on?
Yes, but will destroying 60% of the human race be conductive of a happy society? Does having 50% of a society REALLY happy, and 50% being less happy count as a happy society? Is there even an absolute value of happy for a society, or are you just claiming that it isn't OK for some people to be happier than others?
A happy society is definitely not an absolute definer of morality, and even if it was, a happy society is virtually impossible to define.
Since, the choice of monitor or Full HD television is totally unrelated to the number of displays, the real question becomes, is a line running through your vision better or worse than not having that vision at all. Since the first monitor will be their either way, and it is only a question of whether you add the other 5 monitors above, left and right of where your current screen currently ends.
The ultimate setup would be to have projectors on the outside of a box made of screens that you can see the picture on that is projected from the outside, and putting one projector on each side so that you are sitting in a fully enclosed cube where all six sides are a display. Obviously the floor would be the hardest to set up, but many homes being built now have a balcony in the front room, and thus have a two story room that is tall enough that you could put a gaming platform in it to accomplish the full gaming box.
After showing it to my 6 year old son, he thought it was hilarious when I told him that he better sit there all day refreshing the browser screen, so that the world will not be destroyed.
Bingo! The problem with not enforcing the letter of the law not only encourages drivers to have no respect for the law, it also encourages the police and local governments to have no respect for the law. Tickets stop being for breaking the law, but instead because you drove a noticeable car, or didn't look like the police want. It becomes about whether you were speeding in a neighborhood that a city councilman lives in. Of course, I suspect that is the primary reason that we do not generally see strict enforcement. There are influential groups that benefit from lax enforcement. Some of those groups are armed.
Unless this guy has already ripped out all of the electrical wiring in his home, he is generating his own generation. In fact he owns an entire cage of radiation. I would guess that this guy sleeps with his head less than 4 feet away from a radiation source that he owns and that he personally has turned on.
Well, it really should not be, given that if they supply it to you via a torrent, they are well aware that part of the process of running a bittorrent client is to redistribute. It may not be explicit permission to redistribute, but it is certainly implicit permission.
It may be 12/2 and not 12/3. I might be forgetting given that I am almost always at 20/6. If the $20 rate is only for 6 months, then it is even a worse deal to go with Residential.
I must be in that 17%. I get 20Mb/6Mb on my 12Mb/3Mb Comcast Business line a good 90% of the time. I have rarely seen it drop down to the 12Mb/6Mb that is advertised, and in the last year and a half, I have seen it drop down to 3Mb/1Mb for a total of about 10 hours across three different instances.
Now, I do pay $60/Month for my connection which is 3x the cost of Residential Comcast, but the extra $40/Month as been well worth it to me.
No, what is up in the air is if the faked "studies" will successfully convince enough of the population that cell phones are evil and get laws passed against them before the next generation gains enough power to stop it by just ignoring them.
To be fair though, I would say that more marriages than not start out with trying to get laid, and then move beyond that. That includes the 16 year marriage.
There was a Scientology office that I would pass regularly for years. One day, me and a friend decided to go that their "Free Personality Test" just for whoots. At the end of the test, they did their rating thing, and told me that I was very well adjusted, and that that I was doing just fine. They thanked me for coming, and that was the end of it. No sales pitch, nothing. They didn't even offer to sell me a copy of Dyanetics.
I'm not sure if that says something good about me, or REALLY REALLY bad.
So, who should be humiliated? Bill , who got to spend the proportional equivalent money on Bob as you would for a Big Mac, and got to bang the Unit Manager?
Or Malinda, who used it as part of a successful step in sleep her way to being one of the richest people in the world?
That comment pushes me to the off topic thought that it is a travesty that more schools don't offer sign language as a foreign language. Learning a second spoken language is basically only useful for talking to people who don't speak the same language as you. On a day to day basis, this is only useful for a small percentage of the population. Sign language on the other hand, would (just like a spoken second language) let you talk to other people who only spoke that language, but it would also be useful for people who spoke the same primary language. How many times have you tried to talk to someone that is on the other side of a window, in a place so noisy that you cannot easily hear what the other person is saying, or were in a place where you wanted to say something, but didn't want to make sound? It doesn't happen to me every day, but I run into cases where any speech is difficult more often than I run into cases where the language is the barrier.
Even if there was not a single deaf person on the planet, sign language would STILL be a more useful second language than French, yet every school I ever went to that offer foreign languages taught French, and not one taught Sign.

Yeah, it will be good to get back to the days before cell phones when no one drove erratically, and nobody ever crashed.
No your not, your going to just write it down like I did, and it is proven. That is how proper nouns work.

The SDXC spec is designed to handle up to 2TB on a card. That means a whole lot of transistors to fit 2TB on a micro-SD card.

No, this is just a clever ploy to bring back AmigaOS.
You will never see that. Why? Because no one wants to ban radios or kids in cars.

No, they just don't have a moral compass to begin with...
Yeah. I can't wait until they completely ban cell phones so that we can go back to the good old days when no one ever crashed cars.
