x86 based Windows 8 machines will be able to boot any OS you want them too. Only ARM based Windows 8 machines will require secure boot, and that's only if the OEM wants to have the Windows 8 sticker on the machine.
Secure boot is only required for the ARM version of Windows 8. MS has explicitly said that you'll be able to install any OS you want on x86 based Windows 8 machines. Do some research before you make accusations and you won't make yourself look like a fool.
You seem to have missed the part where the Senate has to vote to accept any treaty. Clinton signed Kyoto, but the Senate unanimously rejected it anyway.
Except he may have signed it as an executive agreement and not as a treaty.
There are many issues involved with President Obama’s signing of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement — which occurred in September 2011 — and whether or not it should be treated as an executive agreement or an actual treaty between the agreeing countries. With an executive agreement, the President does not require the approval of the Senate, whereas, with a treaty, Senate approval is required. That, however, is not the issue, especially when you consider the initial zeal with which the both houses of the U.S. Government supported SOPA and PIPA.
Most SSD drives are hardware AES encrypted with a key generated at the factory. When you do a secure erase the old key is destroyed and a new one is generated. Sandforce drives do this in under 3 seconds and the data will be unrecoverable. To prevent someone from just sticking the drive into another machine and reading your data you set a drive password in the BIOS. The Intel branded SSDs have this feature too and I am sure most other brands do too. It is a very effective scheme.
But if you're a homeowner wanting to protect your home from home invaders in Chicago, you're outta luck unless you break the law, because you're not allowed to have a gun there
Unless you are asked for a passphrase when you boot the system there is no actual encryption password. There is a decryption key on the USB stick that is read at boot. And your IT department must be run by morons since it is trivial to configure BitLocker so that IT can recover a lost key. In fact they should have ordered machines that have a TPM chip so that you would have no risk of losing that key.
No one is going to get rid of their expensive TV subscriptions.... ok I actually do but I know I am in the small minority here. I never liked TV ever even as a child.
You'd be surprised how few people actually subscribe to paid TV these days. It is a dying industry, why do you think the likes of the MPAA is fighting so hard to stop the change from happening? Streaming content is the future and it is here to stay.

Most of the complaints about Vista were due to hardware manufactures not releasing compatible drivers. Once they did most of the complaints went away.

Barnes & Noble is still alive and well here in the US. I think subby doesn't get out of the basement too often.
This is why you password protect your keys.
Obama already signed ACTA last year. And since he signed it as an executive agreement it does not need to be ratified by Congress.
You can if you're smart about it, go straight for their napalm manufacturing and storage depot.

You're not going to bankrupt any corporation in small claims court, the maximum damages are far too low.
Give them a taste of their own medicine.

That's part of the lobbying game.
How are you using the system if all you are doing is watching a live feed?
You act like anonymous is an organized group, they're not. In fact they have no leader and no members list.
And this is why lobbying and campaign contributions need to be outlawed.
you want fucked up legal system? Come to Britain!
Ah Britain, where the police will flag you down while you're driving and make you drive yourself to the jail.

Not true at all.
The second amendment has been dead for decades.
It's more alive than it has ever been.

TV stations make most of their money from advertising. They can still do that on the web.
the TSA are not police officers. In fact they have no more power of arrest than you do.
There is no detonator built into a round of ammunition. Your weapons firing pin is the detonator. The primer is a primary explosive.
