I see no false dilemma.You choose to be fondled and groped under tenuous authority in exchange for your definition of livelihood. Are you saying your ONLY marketable skill involves air travel?
I wasnt excusing it, i was merely pointing out that a bullet to the head might be a bit extreme considering the stress level of the checkpoints. When going through a checkpoint, its obvious they are looking for bombs. In moments of stress, its not unreasonable for that word to pop up in a very nervous persons thought stream/utterances. Some people literally do this
Friend A: So what did you do last night?
Friend B, in his head: "dont say 'your mom', dont say 'your mom', dont say 'your mom'"
You obviously are not human and never had said silly things while stressed. For some people, the TSA security checkpoint is a giant source of anxiety. Couple that with the fact that what they are doing is not strictly Constitutional, you can understand why people are going to be silly sometimes.
And this is why i'll never step onto a commercial airliner again. I absolutely refuse to enter the TSA point-of-no-return. I rarely enter anywhere i cant leave easily and at my own discretion.
Stop relying solely on Windows to handle disks and files, it is absolutely terrible unless you work the command line. It chokes on lots of little things and as you said, has weirdo restrictions. Use Linux if a disk is tricky, make scripts to search your data, get a NAS and consolidate your data. Separate OS data from personal data. Honestly your problem is your huge data set and lack of organization. Data > hardware.
This is a mostly moot argument. If you are relying on one drive for your data, you are doing it VERY wrong. In a proper setup, the user would restore from backup and move on. If the drive had high value data, and no backups, you send the platters off to specialist recovery. The only people your scenario would affect are ones who deserve it.
Drugs have an active and hot war against them. I read the prosecutor's remarks in that case, which included some huge leaps of logic like ~'if you see $800,000 in cash, its OBVIOUSLY drug money.'
Were you see threat, i see opportunity to explore new ideas. There is always going to be someone slurping up private data, learn to know your enemy, instead of shrinking away.
Those are your EXCUSES as to why you feel you HAVE to be connected at all times. So tired of the hypothetical 'emergency list' justifying moronic and unhealthy behavior.
Thanks for this. I knew it had 'copy-once' which i thought meant Win 7/Tivo Prem. wouldnt record it at all and i didnt have HBO to test it. I went the opposite way and gave up on the TiVo Prem. and built 2 WMC recorders. Core i5 and 16 Gb RAM each with 8 network tuners. If one falls over a VM on the other WMC starts up and takes it place. I dont allow them to be used as anything other then Windows Media Center boxes aside from the virtual machines in the background.
Check your terms. Copyright infringement can in no way be construed as theft under the current legal framework. Theft has EXTREMELY specific legal meaning and you sound like an idiot when you try to call IP infringement 'stealing'
Minimum $45 digital tier cable + $15-20 for HBO + cable box rental $15+ $5 guide fee (cant record HBO on CableCARD). $75/mo is probably the cheapest you can get HBO in the U.S.
Yes, but do you understand that current copyright ALSO helps and hurts. There is vast amount of 'wrong' on both sides. No one can claim the moral high ground of the current IP situation.
For someone not versed in UX, the summary sucks. We get it now, 2D has a special meaning in UX design versus the more common meanings. Do not yell at the reader for the article's shortcomings.

The reality you chose. You CHOOSE to do that, do not make it out to be involuntary, unless you are a slave. Are you a slave?

When they came for facebook, i didn't care because i didn't have a facebook account.
When they came for reddit, i didn't care because i used throw-aways
When they came for 4chan, there was no one left but slashdot....
When they came for us, there was no one left at all.
SSDs are going to sweep them away in five years for everywhere but servers. HDD is pretty much a dead end at this point.
You dont trust ANY 'disk drive'. You backup and recover, just like any other storage medium. Trust doesnt even enter the equation.
Their hybrid nature does not affect data recovery. All the onboard SSD does is cache data that exists on the HDD.

Indeed. If the FTC used the same leverage and power the anti-drug agencies have, this would already be over.
Are you a moron? There is nothing illegal about BUILDING a robocall center. Its the USE that is illegal.

A $200 Win 8 RT tablet could be compelling, and I hate M$.
Well then their definition is wrong. An abacus is a literal computation device, a computer.
