Actually, it would the little island of Great Britain. The UK refers to the whole country, which spans many islands, including GB and Northern Ireland.

That was different- they never advertised *just* the wii or ps3- they advertised their bundles as the only way to get it. Accessory attachment is perfectly legal (and I would even say ethical) so long as it is clearly advertised as such.

It's no longer concealed at that point, and with your intentions clear, it's brandishing. You make it harder for me to lawfully and respectfully keep and bear arms. Thanks.

Your consent IS required to install updates to firmware and system software. Buying something once does not give you the right to buy a replacement in the future with the exact capabilities.

I'm surprised that as an ex-LED-backlight designer, you state:

LED are Light Emitting Diodes. Diodes function as a switch- once you reach and surpass the 'turn on' voltage, the brightness of the diode remains constant. The only option is to apply the voltage to the diode as a wave.

Try it. Block the outbound port connecting to Steam. What? You mean you can't play your game without phoning home? I thought if the servers were taken offline, you could play?
Never rely on a promise to protect your rights. For all you know, they could go under, get sold to a new owner in bankruptcy court and the new owner could shut off the servers but not give up the licenses.

Shockingly wrong. You can invoke your right to not self-incriminate on a question by question basis. Otherwise, stating your name for the record would be waiving your 5th amendment right. Granted, I don't disagree with being compelled to give up encrypted files. I think a better comparison is showing them the shed where the bodies are buried, then refusing to give them the key. In this case, the cops can't use bolt cutters, so it is reasonable to compel you to provide the files.

This kind of garbage is why Patrick Moore, one of the Greenpeace founders, left the movement. "By the mid-1980s, the environmental movement had abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism. I became aware of the emerging concept of sustainable development: balancing environmental, social and economic priorities. Converted to the idea that win-win solutions could be found by bringing all interests together, I made the move from confrontation to consensus."
