Using a computer used to require some skill and understanding of the design. Now any moron such as your self can get on the internet and spread his odious opinions. Im more worried about people like you who think they are oh-so-smart.
I wish more people understood that we are at the point where any decently educated person can build and design new products that appear to be wildly innovative to the lay public, but are really just the 'Taco Bell' approach. (spinning off countless finished products using variations of 8 basic, well established ingredients)
You really should stop talking about governance and law, you are in WAY over your head. Do not understand that bittorrent has SUBSTANTIAL non-commercial uses? Even on the commercial side, Blizzard Entertainment uses Bittorrent to distribute its (very large) patches and has for years. Most linux distros are available via bitorrent. These are not insignificant use-cases. Further, HTTP is used to facilitate a vast amount of piracy as does FTP, IRC, email etc so on and so forth. Should we ban them too?
What is flawed is thinking you can develop a perfect justice system. When you wield life and death, it will ALWAYS be better to let 9 guilty go free vs imposing your tyranny on one. Why on earth would we outlaw an extremely well thought out tech to prop up THE ARTS?????? Seriously, fuck off you luddite.
I have media players from China that will play most popular video formats and completely ignores any DRM scheme including Cinavia. I paid $40 for it w/ free shipping and no tax. It has no network port, doesnt rely on servies or logins or fees. You put movie files in, movies play out. Copyright as it stands now will not be able to weather ubiquitous computing.
What he means by 'guise of convenience' is stuff like this "Users trade privacy for functionality" - Melissa Meyer, Yahoo CEO. Companies are designing everything to phone home, and are limiting functionality unless you fully submit.
1) the same way PCs makers have been doing it for decades. You bork the box, its your fault. Learn to fix it or pay up.
2) dont sign up for services that dont allow you to cap the amount spent. Pretty stupid to walk around with a comms device that has the potential to financially ruin you without taking proper precautions.
3) As long as I tell you 'hey i altered this phone, it is sold as is' everything is A-OK. If i tried to pass it off as a brand new unaltered phone, you could of course sue me later, civilly. There is no need to put rubber bumpers on the world to solve these minor issues.
Strawman.....
Gas pumps are monitored by the county weights and measures division. If you suspect fraud call them, but dont try to put rubber bumpers on the world. If a man can build it, another man can hack it, thats why we have people who do honesty checks.
No. Regardless of the RIAA's opinion, it is not a crime to rip your CDs. Regardless of the MPAA's postion, format shifting movies is also not illegal.. Where you run into trouble on the DVDs is breaking the encryption. If you do bit for bit copies of DVDs, you are in the fair use safe harbor.
OK i have to say this about Intel GPUs. I just picked up a Ivy Bridge Celeron 1610 for $35. And yes, it plays Crysis, and Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Torchlight II, TF2, Fallout 3 etc. I was pretty much shocked at how powerful it is, relatively speaking.. Haswell w/GT3 is going to be interesting.
Please explain what you mean by you wont tolerate it? What gives you the right to stop me from collecting photons in public? In what way is your privacy greater then my right to collect photons? Do you tell the gym or the pub to stop recording on security cams you when you walk in the door? Because the vast majority of them are recording you. Further, the vast majority of places you mentioned, almost every single person is already carrying a recording device via cellphone. If im in the pub and i use my cellphone clipped to my shirt to record something, are you gonna get mad at that too?
It is a total non-statement. They could be considering the cloud saves as 'complex calculations'. If you read the word usage, you can see they carefully made sure to not get painted into a corner.
Im really confused about the ambassador thing. If a biker gang in the US, with 125+ heavily armed assailants attacked ANY embassy on US soil its a good chance they are going to get in and kill the ambassador. I would genuinely like an answer as to why everyone thinks its the current administration's fault he died.
Age of Information means that encoding it and categorizing it is just another part of the process in spending from the public coffers. If you spend public money, we want a searchable index of what, when, where, and how. This is not an unreasonable request.
Then funds should be set aside so that all FOIA relevant material be categorized in a way that is easy searchable and accessible. It should be SOP that any non-classified information be formatted in a way that is easy to disseminate electronically for anyone to view.
I really want to see that Bosch car radar system put on all new cars with a mandatory speed/distance check to the car in front. If you are following too close the computer recognizes it and applies the brake lightly to put the car into a safe following distance.
Well society is going to have to fucking get over it. Cameras are literally going to be everywhere, hell they are NOW. Unless you plan on frisking customers, i dont see how you plan on stopping it and any attempt to do so would have serious civil liberties implications. If i can legally capture photons with my eye, its a safe bet i can also do the same with a CCD. That is the reality we face now.
ATTN HEDWARDS: You are now notified that you are recorded in public most of the time. It makes no difference if it is the establishment or an individual person doing it. I have absolutely no obligation to stop capturing photons because it makes you squeamish.

You are probably the type of person who thinks only LEO should have guns too.
Why not just do that on real workstation hardware and tap into it remotely?

Until they cracked the atom a few times, we mostly ignored them They have become much harder to ignore now.

I had it on my Palm Pre Plus along with 3 wireless charging docks. Its nice to have but i wouldnt make hardware moves over it.
