And in the case im talking about, all it takes is a proverbial one bit switch to go from limited record to always on, so one should assume they are ALWAYS on.
"Im absolutely sure God exists" is faith alone and has no scientific merit. I wouldnt even say "Im absolutely sure gravity exists" because im not 'absolutely' sure of anything at all.
Fear of the unknown is still fear. The religious generally assuage their fear of not knowing with falsehoods. Science is certainly not devoid of humanity, thats jsut stupid. Sagan, Einstein were both HUGE humanists. Thats the important part, recognizing the humanity of the situation.
The point is, that if they wanted to, altering the buffer circuit to continuously record is trivial. Its a software change, and so in that sense, they ARE recording at all times, because the option to exists.
Blu-ray is limping along compared to DVD adoption. Optical discs are most definitely on their way out. Very few people give a shit about 1080p perfection. They just want to watch a movie, now.
God Damn It!. 'Real work' is not the exclusive domain of workstations. People do REAL WORK everyday on phones and tablets etc. Your dismissal of non-workstations as toys shows your ignorance on the subject.
There is no cloud 'hype'. Big storage folders on the net is a giant BOON. Just dont use it in stupid ways, like thinking that its a backup or private.

I hate to break it to you, but iPhone is the new MS windows in terms of ubiquity. It carries BY FAR the biggest inertia and is almost always targeted first in mobile dev. You can decry the state of affairs all you want, but the the fact remains iOS is the current de facto standard.
All bets are off when it comes to olympic IP. They force countries to actually modify existing IP law to suit them as needed or that country doesn't get the Olympics held there.
Right, because corporations as people isnt a silly overreaction. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Obvious and wanton abuse of the legal system for profit should be a punishable crime, severe enough to discourage others from trying it. We put people to death for less.
They are ALL going Global Thermonuclear WAR! Bring it, society will only tolerate this for so long and the call to kill all patents will begin. Its gonna be bloddy, but the time has come.
And most likely your ISP monitors that and injects ads when you type a bad URL in. There is no escape from being data collected, you can only try to limit exposure.

Do you know WHY we have the right to bear arms? Its supposed to be so the Government FEARS us. That is its EXPRESS purpose.

On the gaming front, XP is being phased out. I think BF3 required Vista+

Cliff Huxtable is that you?
No rest for the wicked. Some of us CANT turn it off, btw. If we could, we wouldnt be geeks.
You are probably the kind of guy who wont let his clothes dryer run when hes not home either.

nice aspersion there at the end, enlightening. (see i can do it tooooooooooooooo)
It has the same face, and I grew up during the Cold War, you'll pardon me if its hard to see a distinction.
I dont think its a well formed and cogent thought, so i passed.

Combat communism is a euphemism for control the populace, nothing more.
There are a million things that are easy for me that I jsut dont want to do. Does that make me incapable? Your 'put up or shut up' rhetoric is tiring.
Because oil is money, thats why.

The chances of humanity going extinct (every human dead) by our own hands is EXTREMELY unlikely.
Because hardware is cheap and data is valuable. Thats why.
