At #2. Following becomes an aggressive act when the follower initiates assault, not before. Following in and of itself is not a crime, nor overt aggression. Following someone you think is engaged in a crime can be considered the duty of every citizen. Self-defense came into play when Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman bashing his head into concrete. At that point Zimmerman had no retreat and was suffering from life-threatening assault. Self-defense clause kicks in, and we have the result we see today. Zimmerman was stupid, but not guilty.
DO you honestly think these things are coincidence? The US government is HEAVILY involved in current telecomm design. They are no longer suggesting, they are ORDERING networks to be built in specific ways to be easily tapped.

WRONG. Until the law is changed to reflect male choice in the matter, you are wrong. Its not jsut a woman's body issue if the man is forced to pay for a child he doesnt want. Everyone worries about forcing women to have kids they may not want, but never say a goddman thing about the men we jail for missing child support payments. We put people in jail for DEBT. Men should have at least SOME say in the decision or at the very least be able to walk away if the woman decides to keep it. Until a man can be absolved of responsibility, its our issue too.
I love that piece of paper in Washington that says no King owns me. The end of the divinely appointed king and the beginning of the divinely derived citizen.
They will eventually. You would do better if you used the terms 'mobile' vs 'workstation' instead. Tossing out 'tablets' as just toys is going to get you flamed.
Hell i run a small minecraft server and a VM on my HTPC's 4GB of ram. This is on top of the recording 4 HD channels at once and then compressing them down every night.
Just to address point 2: Hey buddy, here is a flash drive that i paid almost nothing for. It contains a bit for bit backup copy of my Avatar DVD, which i lost in the house fire( but still have the receipt for). Go home and insert it into your HTPC and watch it.

Sounds like every streaming video device should have enough local storage to hold at least one whole movie. Streaming isnt the problem, its the implementation that sucks. Every one of the streamers should have local caching ability.
You are correct, but in an age where copying is trivial, we HAVE to find new ways to fund these things. Further, the arts currently are encumbered by vast costs that dont take the current reality to heart. The ability to make one piece of art and expect to be able to sell it to 7 billion people needs to end now.
Are you european? Because its usually only EU people who bring this up. The browser bundling thing was the very tip of MS's malfeasance. Microsoft has a bloody history of being completely ruthless to the point of abuse. Yes, this Apple thing is bad, but it still doesnt even come close to the evil MS has fostered. There was a time when the future of computing looked like it was going to be windows forever, and it was bleak.
This argument is a bit like saying 'writing was never designed for privacy, we should build a language that obfuscates by default.' There is nothing wrong with sending in plain-text by default, as long as you have methods to go private when necessary. Its a trust issue, not a technological one.

Wrong. Neither following nor confronting someone are cause for a physical altercation. Confront does not mean 'talk with your fists'

So this is how far Slashdot has sunk. Keyboard latency? Fuck the submitter and the mod who approved it.

My worst fears of how deep spying has gone keep getting confirmed. Pretty much every single major vendor is backdoored by the NSA one way or another.
We ALL knew they were spying. What has changed is that they are no longer even bothering to hide it.
WE have known this for a long time, the average citizen has not.
Companies cant design truly secure communications because government thinks that should not be legal. This is a fundamental problem.
They will eventually. You would do better if you used the terms 'mobile' vs 'workstation' instead. Tossing out 'tablets' as just toys is going to get you flamed.

This is why i love my chinese made playback devices. $40 and it plays EVERYTHING, incl subtitles.
I wish i had mod points.
If a company is failing to serve a market, they should lose copyright in that market. Use it or lose it, but you cant lock up culture.
You can copy DVDs bit for bit, thus not breaking encryption. You argument falls apart there,

I dont see books as a luxury.
The 'correct' price is a cost to produce plus minor profit. Anything else is abuse.
Once you collude, any price changes are 'artificial'. Thats the whole crux here, the conspiracy to not compete. THAT is the crime.

Yes, now actually engage it and see if it works.
