Oh look. A clueless fucktard heterosexual. HOW SURPRISING.
Did anyone force him to be gay? YES. It's a genetic predisposition. Nobody chooses to be the target of frat-boys and jock-boys. Nobody chooses to be the target of screaming maniacs who justify their hate in the name of Jesus. Nobody chooses to play the role that Jews played in the 30's (complete with people like Ravi who intend only misery and death to their targets).
People like you, who obviously believe that gays are their personal punching bags and rightful targets of ridicule, are why these laws exist. You think it's okay to abuse others over their orientation. The law says it's not (though this 30-day sentence makes me think that dealing with people like Ravi with a noose rather than a judge is much more appropriate... if the courts won't defend gays, then gays must defend themselves by any means necessary). It's people like you who are the reason I carry a gun.

The band Lightspeed bought is low-power ground/space. Lightspeed is free to use it for low-power ground/space communications all they want, in accordance with its current usage rules.
Lightspeed gambled they could con the FCC into allowing conversion to a different use, and to hell with the harm to anyone else. The FCC never promised that they would do so, allowed experiments to see if it could be made to work, and the experiments failed. Well, Las Vegas doesn't give refunds to gamblers either.

Given the poor record that medical device manufacturers have with regard to device security (about as bad as automotive manufacturers have with securing the wireless devices now common in newer cars, e.g. keyless entry, tire pressure sensors, cabin climate sensors)... yeah, I'll have a SPECIAL show for you, Jordie.

There has never been a Nazi-like government in Canada where this law would be in effect
Tell that to an Anglophone in Quebec, or a member of the Iroquois or Cree, or the family of anyone who lost members in the wake of the Grand Civilization Act and the Indian Act of 1874, or forcible sterilizations in the early 1930's.
Canadian history is just as brutal to its native population as American, and nearly as brutal as The Country Led By The Man In The Tiny Moustache. Canadians don't get to pretend they're better behaved - they're not, not ever have been.
Not that the "First Nations" are any better - they were just as brutal to each other. Goes with being human. There's no such thing as a saint.

Correct. Liability provisions in EULAs and other contracts can be nullified if the liability is the result of gross negligence, culpable negligence or criminal action. Note, however, that "gross negligence" has a very specific legal meaning that is not necessarily "I don't like it so I'm going to call it 'gross negligence', 'terrorism', or whatever other outrage-word I can call up". A finding of "gross negligence" would have to be far more than "it's buggy".
