Your name exposes a certain bias, that when weighted with your comments lends doubt to your objectivity, which i expressed quite eloquently above. It is ironic that you accuse me of ad-hominem attack with an ad-hominem.
If this were true,the entire American Populace could sue Congress for extending copyright on works ex post facto. Public domain status is payment for a limited monopoly. Once Congress changed the rules, WE THE PEOPLE lost a good chunk of the social bargain. The door swings both ways.
Horseshit. You are purposefully obfuscating the matter. The vast majority of people get their OS pre-installed, which means the computer maker made shady deals with MS to rob you of your rights, its the same thing.
Colonization IS thinking about survival in the long term. It is not ego, nor the drive to explore that pushes us into space, but survival itself. What is the point of curing all man's ills, only to have the entire species wiped out by an errant piece of rock?
Trip to the moon, 3 days, trip to mars 3 months in the best possible scenario. If the moon landing was a scam, the USSR would have absolutely 100% for sure called us out on it.
Then we are doomed to extinction. We HAVE to get off this rock and establish viable colonies both off world and out of the solar system. You think so small.
Wow. Nintendo is the fucking Prime Evil of gaming. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10NES
They pretty much implmented the first very wide reaching DRM system.
Ok hold on cowboy. Wired and wireless are NOT directly interchangable. Airplay will never be as robust as a physical HDMI cable. It requires logins and setup and networking etc. Full disclosure: I have 3 Apple TVs fed from a 2011 mac mini using ipads and iphones and it STILL doesnt work all that well as a whole. Airplay works decent enough, but i would NEVER rely on it alone and ignore the robustness wired brings. I even have the mac mini and the appleTVs and all the iDevices on their own VLAN and it still doesnt work 100%.
Its amazing how hivemind it got in here. Safety > Liberty, even when scientifically unprovable either way, got it. Thanks for the re-education, comrades.
This TOTALLY misses the point. I want to have a library of 32 GB cards that my DVR spits out every few weeks. So i can make choices on the go, instead of other people making choices for me to prop up their advertising model. I want HARDWARE designed to gracefully fail, not choke when there is no network.
Seriously? You went with 'they cant fit it in'? These guys constantly yammer on about how they are advancing the art of manufacturing devices, and yet they cant figure out an elegant way to let people use SD cards?
I too am completely PISSED at the ongoing effort by manufacturers to steer us into the cloud by eliminating convenient local storage. Its ridiculously obvious.
Thats all well and good, but our Governemnt doesnt work on that principle. Liberty ALWAYS comes first. The FAA needs to provide proof of their claim or shut the fuck up. Anything less is tyranny.
The existence of myPlex is all i need to know if its phoning home or not. Any 'service' like that exists to keep you in their garden and to report what you do.
This is intel saying' we want to get in on the 'make money but produce little bandwagon.' So we'll make some user hostile hardware that you big providers can use to exploit new opportunities in consumer lockdown.

My cousin refused a job offer at a CA college because of the loyalty oath thing.
I was disappointed that i could get Dungeon Defenders for Linux from the Humble Bundle, but not Steam.

I have full suite of Apple gear(mac mini, ipad 2, iphone 4S, ATV2) on the maxim "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer"
You'll pardon me as I use your name to discount your entire post.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Batman should be in the Public Domain by now, rendering all of this moot?
Genesis coupe and Infiniti G35 coupe are also VERY similar.
Ill take the Universe option, with a chance of transcending spacetime for $1000 Alex

There are a million ways to skin this cat and this is the method you choose?

Because this is the thing geeky cautionary tales are made of.

Well, at least half your name is right.
