It's likely that 50 years ago (during the cold war) there weren't many Soviet admirals walzting around the Nautilus. So we can assume he was doing this to fellow officers only.
Only because other companies offer tools/services to compete with apple (likely against the ipod license agreement) due to the company's high costs.
What happens when it costs more to staff a repair group for older Ipods than the repair money brings in? Apple will discontinue support for replacing older batteries, which is pretty far from "readily available"
We can't do anything to the environment. This whole thing is about "save the people", not "save the environment."
The earth evolved from a "great molten mass" to the veritable paradise that existed before man came on the scene. It can take anything we throw at it, short of perhaps blasting the planet apart from the inside.
And if you're not going to let people run things because they "don't act like human beings" you run into another sort of idealized nonsense called Despotism.
You state that "people only respond to the cost of something" but argue that it should be done regardless of what the people want. That kind of goes against the spirit of a democratic society.
And you should probably be careful with that "anything" qualifier. Mass genocide would really cut into carbon emissions solely by reducing the number of people who could cause carbon to be emitted.
Duh, we'll just have to pass a bill through congress that implements a carbon tax in China and India only!

My power supplies don't smoke (stop working), the ball bearings just get bad and they start making a grinding sound when I first boot that takes longer to go away the more I put off replacing.
My latest system is a dell (instead of from the chinese guys up the corner), so hopefully I won't have this problem again:)
Yes, I noticed the warmth aspect now that I have two machines:)
However, I find the random clicks of a hard drive spinning too distracting to fall asleep with. They're much louder with the fan (I have no problem falling asleep to a constant sound).

I don't think I've ever had a HD failure because of that (I think the one that was smoked was probably a design flaw), but I replace power supplies on a fairly regular basis (at least once per computer, sometimes twice). For me, saving the wear and tear on that takes priority.
I don't get the new cult of never turning your PC off. If I'm away from my computer, it's usually for an extended period (IE - a night I'm not downloading crap, or a full day of work). Doesn't it make vastly more sense to not have the power supply fan running for those 8 hours? Or the HD randomly going idle and then spinning up again? When I'm done, I shut the machine down and turn off the power strip. Interested in why others don't, however.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
Actually, that's exactly what it means. This arguement is retarded. If you can be imprisoned for doing something, you are not free to do it. Hey, blacks were free to vote in the early 20th century too! They just had to watch out for those "consequences" at the end of a tree branch!
According to the other posters here, it seems Canada does not have freedom of speech.
Being insured is a state of the driver, not the vehicle.
And siezure laws are worded very carefully because of that. You aren't guilty of not registering, the car is. And since it has no due process rights... yoink!

That said, what an ass.

You really have to take the PS3 sales figure and double it, though.
Cuz each PS3 sells twice. Once at the store, and then again on ebay...

Good point. Not much use sticking around anyway without steak.
The way I figure it, you can always put more clothes on/build more shelter if it gets cold. Harder to get more cool than "naked", though.

Nah, then he would have said "moebile"
No, your (truthful) examples mean that the US does not have freedom of speech either. We just say we do. It's likely no country has freedom of speech.
How stupid do you have to be to act like that with your successful business partners?
Vanity... definitely my favorite sin.
if you find it report it to the cops (or your MP) as evidence of a possible crime.
Problem: Even if you accidentally stumbled upon it, it is now in your cache. That means you are also guilty of the crime.
Why not allow them to block obviously illegal material?
Guy: "Your honor, I beleive my site has been blocked unfairly. It is not illegal."
Judge: "Sure, let me just check it out on my lapt-- oh, wait...."
or actually commit genocide against certain specified groups
It's good that they codified that. I was unsure of the legality of genocide in Canada until they cleared it up.

Given that there exists such a thing as unlawful speech, you'd be hardpressed to find objections to blocking it
I think that expecting people to have moral opinions because of what the law is is amazingly strange.

Everybody knows that the one who does the technological breakthrough will be executed so the technology does not fall into "the terr'ists" hands
Fixed.
They don't that.
The idea is to fish for as many crimes as possible to increase their score. As we all know, arrests raise your rank on the server.
Step 1: Provide incentive to commit a crime
Step 2: Profit
Step 3: ???
