On the jury thing... that's not actually a legal reason to throw out a verdict. Juror privilege protects them from allegations of misconduct, and the testimony of a juror is not enough to impeach the verdict. Basically, hostile and/or biased juries are known to be a weakness of the jury system, but it's just one we've decided to live with. If the defence could not get the case thrown out before they deliver their verdict, the verdict stands.

Taking the lane when it gets narrow is the safest way to deal with that situation, it's taught by riding instructors everywhere and is totally legal. In fact, taking the lane is just the safest policy all round - even safer than using bike lanes (which are there to increase rider participation rather than safety).

Honestly, you just need to sack up. Driving a car in traffic is pretty intimidating too until you get used to it, and you don't notice the haters after you get used to the idea that you are riding where you are supposed to be riding.

Your boycotting EA is not going to change the fact that the always-connected DRM model is going to be significantly more financially successful than the securerom one.

That's a dubious "fact" there. It assumes more effective DRM = increased sales... A content-industry fantasy that has not been observed in the real world.
