Next up is Superman. He went to LA and got a sex change. She will remain called Superman, however, Clark Kent is now known as Clara Kent.
Back in the day and still a bit today there were three reasons: one being as you mentioned compatibility. Another being sound quality, obviously. The third, which I found to be by far the most important, was by having a discreet sound card you wouldn't get weird noise from your motherboard in your audio. The cpu would weirdly leak into audio chips via interference that was incredibly annoying. I had one mobo where whenever I moved my mouse (which spikes cpu slightly due to interrupts) it would make the 'whizzzzzzzz' noise the whole time it was moving lol.
It's inflammatory to say they are "banned" rather than "not allowed to be used". Banned implies that you cannot enter the theater with them... but "once the lights dim" implies you are allowed in, just not allowed to use them.

My favorite thing to watch is when two "Freedoms" are in conflict. Such as basic human rights freedoms like gay marriage vs. religion freedoms like oppressing non-members of your religion. The victims of these battles are very rarely the correct ones.
At least if nothing else gay people can stop claiming to be a weak minority... being able to blackmail a fairly famous CEO into stepping down is not a small accomplishment.
How is collecting DNA from dog poop any less invasive than the NSA collecting metadata from cell phone usage. Both of them are used to track the owners and invade privacy. This should be an illegal practice. I hate dog poop not being cleaned up as much as anyone, but this just seems incredibly wrong.
Or we could start requiring a jury to take a very simple entry exam to show basic understanding of the concepts that will be discussed in whatever trial they will be in. No self-respecting jury that hasn't been bribed or threatened would ever vote for a patent troll if they had even rudimentary understanding of the situation.
