This's very interesting, but there's another point.

Being in a hw and sw developer company, our desktop are always full with compiler, debuggers and all sort of stuff a heavy developer runs to do his work.

how that can impact? I know that there's suspend and hibernate but due to hw issues (and OS issue, if using linux and we do), not always
is possible...

So, how long before the tech companies in USA are being investigated for assisting the evil EU to curb free speech of their citizens? And what chances there are for the Europeans among us to kick Mr. Frattini out of his office before it's too late to even talk about it in the Internets?
