They state that if you don't listen to his "imaginary friend", you get a cargo-container condo on a sunny corner of Cuba, because you're obviously a terrorist.

I think what the grandparent meant was that most of the attractive people are stupid.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you regarding environment's role in intelligence development, etc; but I live in a college towm, and every day I see some dumb hot chick, staggering down the road completely wasted on a Tuesday afternoon or driving on the sidewalk.
I believe that you can get firmware for the linksys WRT54G boxes that let you throttle guests...
Yup. It's called HyperWRT and it runs on the WRT54G version 1 through 4 and the WRT54GL (which is basically just a rebranded v4; the v5 doesn't use Linux cause Linksys figured out that they could charge extra for making something hackable) and the WRT54GS. There's also a version for the WAP54G access point called HyperWAP.
It lets you do QoS, boost wireless output power, telnet in to change settings, and all kinda of other cool stuff that you'd never think that little blue box could do.
Check the forums for the latest releases; the official maintainance has been really slow lately, so other people are picking up the slack (I use a build by a guy named tofu)
Just like I can write a windows application and not get in trouble for it not running on Linux.
The problem with that example is it would take more effort for you to port the application to Windows than to leave it as Linux only; however, Skype actually spent more effort to restrict the platform that this particular bit of functionality operates on. If your program already compiled under Linux, but you specifically coded it so that it would not run on Linux, no matter what, then that would be a similar circumstance.
Not implementing functionality because of platform incompatibilities/incapabilities is one thing; specifically disabling functionality based on only the manufacturer of a platform is another.
How anyone can conceive of this sort of law being "representative" of the people's will is beyond me.
It's representative of the people's will. Just, not all the people. Only the ones running multi-million dollar corporations or representing some special interest. It represents them fine.
Unfortunately, there's the other 99% of the population to worry about...
Hate to burst your bubble, man, but it only says hold a cup of coffee afterwards, meaning the coffee cup is still intact to use after "the Eagle has landed".
Your coffee still goes all over the poor little grandma that was walking under your balcony at exactly the wrong time.
Maybe something like Steam could be worked out, so that the plugin talks to the client, makes sure the music is authorised and then lets it play. If there was enough platform support, this could go a long way.
Then we have the same problem as the Steam distribution model:
What happens when the servers go offline? Where does our music/games/pr0n go, or more appropriately, how can we access them? What about when I'm on the go and want to play my music on my laptop away from an Internet connection?
I really don't see this going a long way, or maybe it's just I hope it doesn't.

Yes.

I have an incredible urge to dig out my Alpha Centauri disc now, wherever it may be...

Thank you sir, for contributing to a failed grade in Computer Science 210.

It makes you wonder...

What's the use of a cell phone with vibrate capability if you only keep it in your pocket?

Intel chips do tend to out perform AMD cpus on programs that are optimized for SSE3.
Wouldn't matter. The latest A64s (Socket 939 and up?) have SSE3 support, so it's a moot point, as far as extensions go.

None of the stuff we deal with as Windows users has nothing to do with weak code.
So, everything we deal with has to do with weak code?

the populace of the United States has some serious issues that are a direct result of reduced social expectation of individual responsibility.
You, sir, are a prophet and a wise man.
