People can complain that just because Live is providing OpenID identities, that they can't log in to say, Hotmail, with an OpenID.
How is this any different from AOL providing OpenID for their screennames?
Everyone's complaining, but this is only the first phone ever released with Android. Any lockdown with the G1 is by T-Mobile. Nothing's stopping another carrier from getting a model built that doesn't have these problems, or HTC selling unlocked versions.
Another thing you have to compare between back then and now is the total number of websites there are entirely. A 1.5% increase to the same number of total websites may not seem like all that much, but if you consider how many new webpages have likely appeared in the past two years, that's a significantly larger number.
Since you bring up Starcraft (which is STILL installed on both of my machines, after however many years it's been out) I really hope Blizzard makes the right choice and doesn't DRM-ize Starcraft 2 (and Diablo 3, for that matter, for everyone else's sake).
You could say Counter-Strike has the 'Steam DRM', but personally I think it's even better, if I want to reinstall Counter-Strike I can do it whenever I want (so long as Steam isn't open on another computer, big deal) and download and play the whole thing without a disk. Very useful in college computer labs. In either case, Steam isn't a bad DRM as long as your account doesn't get hijacked, Valve doesn't go under (in which case the master servers would go down causing multiplayer to fail anyway), etc.
And you can't disconnect Comcast without destroying the internet economy.
Can you explain how a (temporary, as there are other ISPs) loss of end-users causes the economy to become destroyed? It's not as if it's taking server providers offline.
Or put some change in the return envelope, and when they call you stating they got some amount of change, demand that they send it back to you. (I'd link to the quote but bash.org is down)

Valve's forum accounts aren't linked. They're separate from the Steam Community.
It, too, like most Nintendo products, probably printed money.
Sorry but that AC right above you asked for it first!

Flash 7 has been the only SDK available for the longest time. I think Flash 9/10's have just come out.

Probably because they assume it will be a valid address.
Actually, if everyone but the UK moved to IPv6, wouldn't there be plenty of room in the IPv4 space just for them?

That's no battle station, it's a moon!
"when they are proximate the cursor associated with the graphical user interface."
Considering touchscreen devices don't have cursors, you could probably get around it on a technicality.
Hint: Set up the PIN protection on Pay-Per-View orders. Every STB I've seen supports it. Keeps the kids from 'accidentally' ordering paid content.
My parents weren't very happy I wouldn't give them my passwords, when I was younger.
My uncle in Virginia said they were closing highways and schools at the first sign of snow, when the forecast only predicted about 1/4".
I love to make Yahoo Pipes, but for some reason I never thought about doing that. You are awesome.
That, and by the time it dies there probably will be a new model Macbook Pro out.
Sadly enough, 4gb of RAM probably costs $999 for a Mac Pro.
(Yes, I know I'm exaggerating, but seriously, it's expensive)
I'm fairly certain they could get in a lot of trouble for only saying 'switch to us'.

I have a friend that works at Arby's, and he still buys them, so I'd be willing to bet they're at least safe, if not roast beef.
Without your knowledge, and without a warrant are two entirely different things. Though, nowadays..
Oh, I was under the impression you're forced to use the downloader.
