Just because he has the PC doesn't mean he uses it regularly. He can only drive one car at a time too, but I bet he's got several. Part of the lifestyle of the mega rich. Loads of toys you never get to use.
For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 3:15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 3:16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; 3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 3:18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 3:19 and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Blowing up civilians is terrorism. Blowing up the soldiers of a foreign occupying army is not.
Unfortunately, the current US Govt and media do not make the distinction. In doing so they put their forebears in the same category, which is the point I was trying to make.
For that matter neither they nor the SOE supported French Resistance were not averse to killing people they saw as "collaborators" - just like the current insurgency in Iraq.
Could you include:
The act of vandalising ships cargos by throwing them into the harbour?
The idea that it is the right & duty of every citizen to throw off an oppressive government?
Or perhaps the idea that kharma can take a long time to resolve...
Not only that but groups like Al Quaida RELY on the internet for putting out those videos of people being beheaded, etc. They are quite net savvy themselves and know how to use it for their own purposes. Terrorists from the American Revolutionaries through the French Resistance, the Zionists and the PLO never blew up stuff they used themselves.
It's not that AC is safer at high voltages - both will kill you. It's more that you can easily transform one voltage into another using AC. This allows the use of large centralised power stations generating at high voltage and then stepping down as required. It's not easy to do that with DC. DC power needs to be generated at the voltage you will be using it at, limiting the length of the wires that can be used and forcing you to use a lot of small generators instead of one big one.
Having said that, a system for stepping the house power from 240V (or 110V) to 32V or 24V on a house wide basis has a lot of merit, given the number of low voltage devices in use today. In Australia we have a standard for 32V AC plugs and sockets intended for low voltage lighting, but it's not widely used. It could be resurrected as a way to provide power to low voltage devices without the need for a wall wart.
Perhaps the limitation to this is the cost of extra wiring that would be needed. especially since at 32V it might need to be quite thick to reach all over the house.
It used to be the case that a "song" was limited to the amount you could fit on a 7" 45RPM record. That approximate length became the norm for a long time - driven by the limitations of the technology.
In Australia, this wouldn't happen, because the cost of providing the free transport would be subject to Fringe benefits Tax (FBT) at the highest marginal rate of 46.5%.
Instead of this, companies offer cars on salary sacrifice arrangements that get taxed less the more you drive them. Hence lots more people drive their car to work, and the traffic and public transport systems both get worse.

Wait six months or so. You'll get your wish.
This may finally kill off traditional encycleopaedias. No more looking it up in yer Funk'n Wagnalls.
We don't have RDS yet,
you insensitive clod!
Yet you have time to hang out on Slashdot? :)

Yay! London to New York the long way around!

...and when you do, you be locked up with the other Terrorists.
To be fair, it does have an MA15+ rating in Australia and probably had to be edited to escape an R18+ rating.

Yoda you must think like, if effectively these calculators you wish to use.
I never got the RPN hang of

..you'll still be able to stop it with a phaser, but only once before it adapts.

Were they throwing chairs?

Just wait 'til you get the power bill for that extra fridge.
At least they won't attack their reflection aand crap all over the balcony in the process.
If they changed from monarchy to republic. Or else create some little Elvises in the cities where the problems are.
They wouldn't have made it here. I knew there was a good reason.
That's so you can buy all those movies again for your new player, just like you did when DVD came out. :)
