I was an 11B. I humped 80+ pounds whenever we went to the field. We would carry 3+ days worth of MRE's, personal ammo, water. We would split up the radio operator's spare batteries. The spare ammo for the 2 M-60's our platoon would carry. We would carry IV bags, medical supplies, spare clothes. Demolitions, Rope.... the list goes ON AND ON. Point being, when all this crap added up you barely had enough room for spare socks.. forget a sleeping bag, even in 32 degree weather.
Now... on top of all that, they want you to hump a helmet camera? a small back mounted pc? They better include a powered exoskeleton because there is no way that is going to happen in any realistic combat scenario.
I had a CCP in Virginia. It requires a gun safety class, and a criminal background check.

Your earlier point reads like a grumpy old man saying that you should walk to school uphill both ways.
From machine code -> C -> C++ etc. They were all developer to make OUR life easier, and turn out code quicker with less bugs.

On the surface yes, but in practice no. I live in Washington DC and have an option between Comcast cable, or DSL through Verizion (or speakeasy etc by using Verizon's lines).
So, 2 options really, and the DSL route requires a 1 year contract with a 300$ breakout fee. I can't see myself having much recourse if my ISP starts to shape traffic.
Guess I could always go back to dialup.
There are many needs that I can think off of the top of my head. I was tasked to write a small footprint browser in j2me a number of years back, and xhtml makes it MUCH MUCH simpler to do so. Also, for parsing your own content to apply decorator patterns and what not. Maybe doing a mashup with google maps and your local municipalities crime statistics (scraped from their pages). Tons of reasons.
And I am guessing you used regex hacks? What if it had been simpler because people used something easily parsed? Would you oppose the car because the horse is "good" enough?
I take it you are not a programmer? Have you ever tried to parse a website for content? With HTML you are stuck with REGEX or some such hack, xml is simple, you run it through an xml parser and bam, you have a complete DOM tree.
I'm using 3.5.1 level "a" in opensuse 10.1, and didn't have a problem with shade / iconify making my window disappear. I would have lost this post otherwise:)
Depends on your needs. You can power it by Wall Wart, or LiPo batteries, really anything you want so long as it provides between 3.3-6v (depending on your hardware combinations).
Drugs, illegal firearms are black and white. Determing what is "violent" porn seems a bit gray to me. Hate to see the government making morality calls like that.
Sure, load them from a properties file, db, xml or whatever you like. You only need the extra slashes to get around the compiler. You dont need them if you load them from someplace at runtime.

Did you read the article? It is not enabled by default, at least till all the drivers get ported to it.

Following your logic, anything beyond assembler or the abacus would be overkill to.

This is covered in the article as others have pointed out.
10 centimeters on a side isn't much of an issue for a robot maid, or a lawn mower.
How about a smallish blimp?
Try damaging your processor and see if you notice an arm or leg missing.

I have been playing with these for a while now. You can hook up a LCD, and tiny X is part of the buildroot. Check out their expansion boards.
DC too, a couple of different ones.
