Isn't Catalan the main language in Barcelona?
Uhh in gtk and qt apps you just up your text size and the whole ui grows. All modern browsers support full page zoom.
Only if we are going back to a Roman Citizen type culture where freedom and democracy is important for people who are in, but absolutely forbidden for people that are 'out' (in this case, the Vietnamese).
The issue isn't electrons and photons through the air vs. electrons and photons through a wire; it is photons through the air vs. electrons and photons through a wire.

Link to some that don't. You can't, because there aren't any.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't saying it impressed him because it was awesome; he meant it was impressive because Apple had done it first and given the idea credibility: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/next-gen-ipod-patent-has-touch-surface-on-back-259271.php

And it didn't require a Magna Carta-style "we've got you at gunpoint" uprising in order to occur, as the AC claimed has always been the case any time any state anywhere has ever given up power.
I guess in the Anonymous Coward book of history, the bill of rights weren't amendments, but were part of the original constitution.
To be sure, no government in history -- democracy or otherwise -- has ever significantly, permanently, and willingly reduced its level of power or revenue.
Nice fantasy world you have depicted there AC. I guess in that world the decision to ratify the woman's suffrage amendment wasn't a government run by men giving up power? You believe it was forced at gunpoint by the women?
