but athe Chinese-controlled entity (read: all of them) submits code to the kernel, it better be not just put under a microscope, but sent through a freaking MRI. Trust but verify? No; just verify three or four times.
ISPs will know who to shakedown for ever more cash. They will threaten to cut off access to Netflix (or just throttle them below HD capability) if they don't agree to spiraling fees, ala cable cos and tv networks.
This is why I'm amused when I hear people saying "I dropped cable TV; I just get everything online now". Until that self-same ISP / CableCo starts capping them below what is needed for Netflix, Hulu, et al. The end result being a monthly bill (after upgrading to a higher cap) within pennies of what they were paying before 'dropping cable'. Folks really think they'll be allowed to get roughly the same amount of media at a cheaper rate from the same vendor? Har-dee-har-har.
How is this even legal, given they are security updates? Plus, we now have to seek out the more obscure 'clean' update to prevent the Adobe Download Manager (DLM) from infecting our browsers. Adobe is really starting to feel like a virus.
I assume it's universal, but on my Cox On-Demand channel, all the shows now have ads. The ABC shows have Disney DVD ads, ad nauseum. Oh; and they are massively louder than the shows they interrupt. No doubt in my mind, this channel will somehow be exempt from the recent FCC commerical sound-level mandate (assuming it survives the November election results).
Except that Google News has a Fox News infestation they don't seem to give two figs about. Any story remotely political (US political), and the headline GN picks will be propagandistic drivel written by the minions of Roger Ailes.

SAP doesn't have an FBI-compliant backdoor.
this is due to their new product Google TV? Just the thin wedge of the big G censoring all of the net prior to allowing it onto the TV?

But only to lovingly admire its potential, not to actually use it!
I called the Federal 'regulators' responsible for forbidding such shenanigans, the phone would just ring and ring and ring.

How long can you go without subconsciously rubbing your eyes?

It's a U.S. vendor (with huge, deep, monied pockets); that's the point.
When piston bores are horizontal, they will wear more at the bottom quadrant due to the weight of the pistons and connecting rods.
