Does the law actually say it's illegal to buy something that you suspect may be stolen? Your common sense may not equal mine.

This is too true... my school decided to teach its 200-level programming courses in Java because "that's what we'll best be able to get entry-level jobs with when we graduate." Oh joy.

Actually, at 3:46 it really does look like a couple of the guys walking around have an AK-47 and an RPG. Considering the reports of taking fire from this area, it may not be that unreasonable for them to have engaged.

Someone was "identified" as being armed with "AK-47's." From the video it looks like the guy was just itching to shoot something... I don't know how you can mistake a camera for an AK-47. Pretty disgusting.

Hey, if it means they actually try to have a secure system it's a million times better than trying to be simply "compliant" yet still insecure.

When I first moved into my current building three years ago, there was only about 5-10 networks in range. Now I can detect around 20-30.

What's interesting is that probably 85% of them are secured using WPA... and of the ones that are unsecured or using WEP, the signals are too weak to be useful.

So if I drive around town while my horn is honking, and I get pulled over by the police and ticketed for needless honking, can I sue?

Umm... wow. This doesn't even sound fun to begin with. In fact, it sounds so un-fun that I'm specifically going to avoid playing one of these! Obviously, if the demo gets progressively less fun, one can only assume the same thing for the full game.
