Well, we do know from looking at the interactions between objects that there is something pulling things together. We call it gravity. We may not know what exactly it is, or how/why it works the way it does, but we know something is there and so we gave it that name.
No, the choice for most people will be Windows (comes with the comp they got at Best Buy), OS X (comes with the computer they buy from Apple), and Linux (free if they bother to download and install it).
People will often choose the path of least effort, as well.
No, but perpetual copyright does imply that three thousand years from now people will be struggling with a very similar issue regarding the works of, say, Hawking (should he write some more). I'd hate for future archeologists to have to track copyright on the rare documents they find before they revealed it to the world.
Just because bad ideas don't hurt us doesn't mean they're still not bad ideas.
How about video games where the main character is a criminal and he shoots policemen? That's a pretty vile and disgusting idea. Should there be a law that bans these videogames?
Ubiquitous where you live, perhaps, but not across even the nation, let alone world. I can point to a number of areas within an hours drive of me where dial-up would be the only available net access. A sizable chunk of the USA is, as you put it, "10 years behind the times".

I wish I had mod points right now. The left-turn you took was possibly the funniest thing I've read all day. :)
They're working on that.
I find that Netjak is a good site to read reviews from; if nothing else, they're not afraid to hand out the sub-5/10 ratings when they're deserved.
No, you're thinking "Chrono Trigger".
No, but that doesn't mean they have to chang the name. AT&T is still AT&T, even though they don't do telegraph anymore.
You'd think if he had a time machine he'd bother to actually get the first post...
Okay, so they're cool. Great. Now make them practical so I can buy one.
I've heard that Cisco is basically using Linksys as a testing ground for products before releasing them under the Cisco name.
Not entirely sure if that's true or not, but that might be it.
No, just trolls.

Yeah, those screwdriver-wielding midgets have been out of my price range ever since they unionized.
Great. Now I'm trying to imagine high-def solitaire.
Yeah, I'm sure the "death of the Playstation division" announcement is coming up pretty soon.
I personally wouldn't mind being known as "that guy who can open the pickle jar."
Not that I *can* open the pickle jar, I'm just sayin'.
We do have a couple of the professors at my college looking at Moodle right now. Gotta be better the POS WebCT stuff we're using now.
Ah, but BadDeedsDone should be subtracted from GoodDeedsDone in the original equation.
Stereotype much?
And the Web 2.0 response is "Post a comment on my blog.".
I, for one, welcome our new headless overlords.
Fortunately, none of the Best Buy drones are bright enough to know the difference.
