3D-printers are actually pretty easy to build even at home and if you build one of your own there wouldn't be any sort of a DRM.

Impossible. There is no way for the printer or the software to know what the parts will be used for. There is no universal definition for "gun-like" as even a simple, straight tube would be "gun-like."

As unpopular as it is, I am in favor of dictatorship as long as the dictator is a benevolent one who actually cares about the well-being of the common folk.

You contradict yourself nicely, there. I, on the other hand, am not ashamed of admitting that I've been known to consume porn in various form and of various genres, including video and still pictures, gay men, lesbian women, straight people of either sex, asians, blacks, whites, BDSM, anal, vaginal, oral, DP, ladyboys, transsexuals, hentai, big breasts, small breasts and oh, so much more. These days I've mostly lost my interest in sex, but alas, I don't really care if my neighbours or family found out about the kinds of stuff I've consumed. It's not like they don't do the exact same thing themselves.

No. Due to wear-leveling and the likes that is not good enough for data that is supposed to be gone forever. The correct way would be for the app to generate a random encryption key in RAM, encrypt the file with that, save the file to the filesystem but keep the key in RAM, and when the app is done with the file it should overwrite the encryption key -- with proper encryption there is no way of reversing the encryption in any sort of a reasonable amount of time (1000 years) without the key.

Say what you will about Kim-Jong Un, but he has shown great dedication in how to have a cake and eat it, too. He has already mastered the latter part of that!

You just explained yourself the whole point with artificially-limited resources: you make the resources scarce, you end up with value, then you sell that.

...in the INSTALLER.

...oh, wait...

It's been around in the form of bcache for ages now and bcache is considered stable -- it is already in production-use. It's a pretty nifty thing, can be configured to your needs to quite a large degree and it's smart enough not to cache large, sequential reads/writes. If you're interested check out http://bcache.evilpiepirate.org/ and http://atlas.evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git/tree/Documentation/bcache.txt?h=bcache-dev

To be honest, DRM is used because it works for controlling the paying people. Companies just like to pretend they're all worried about pirates, but they know perfectly well that DRM won't stop piracy. No, they just don't want to tell that DRM is used to control the people who are willing to part with their money so that even more money can be squeezed out of them -- piracy is just a convenient excuse. In a way you are correct, just for the wrong reasons.

I didn't take any stand whatsoever on the people who do or don't pirate and as such anything you said doesn't rebut what I said: the people who pirate aren't limited by DRM and the people who don't are. Also, do notice that you're just assuming that the non-perfect DRM will increase the number of people who would pay for the product -- the same people could just as well buy the product if it didn't come with such and chooses to skip buying the product because they can't be arsed with serials or such. The thing is, even in the middle-section you mentioned the pendulum swings both ways and there is no way of ever fixing a social problem like piracy via technological means, atleast unless we fit every single living human with a mind-reading device.

That's the whole reason why copyright exists. You have to understand that DRM only makes this more difficult, not impossible, and once the DRM has been broken it no longer limits anyone but the legitimate users.

COBOL.

According to WHO the number is actually 773 deaths, with 8273 cases in total.

Most likely you'll have one USB3.0SS -port capable of putting out the full 100W and the rest will be limited to something much, much lower. Possibly even zero ports that can do the full 100W. Then the manufacturers will be making these highly-expensive, "premium" motherboards that sport more 100W ports so as to gouge money from the people who want that functionality.

Well, good thing, then, that the spec makes the 100W - support optional? Also, it's perfectly possible that the TV will have e.g. 4 ports, but share the 100W between all of them -- if you have 4 devices connected, with each only taking 20W you're good, but if some device requests 80W either it or the other devices will be denied.
