Let's take a brief look into the mind of the supporters of the death penality. A BBC reporter investigated a few scientifically proven humane ways to kill a human being, and offered them to Robert Blecker, Professor criminal law and constitutional law at the New York Law School:

So, with people like these on the spearhead of the pro-death-penalty movement... can we expect a humane death penalty?
You do realize you're talking about CD Project RED... who run the biggest distribution system for DRM-Free games on the planet? So, yeah, obviously the original Witcher was a learning experience for them. That was fucking 7 years ago. Get over it. These people are the good guys that brought us gog.com and are just about to release a Triple-A-Title without DRM or copy protection. I mean, what the fuck are you complaining about? That they're not a charity, but an actual company of people who want to earn a living with this?
That is only partly correct. GEMA indeed owns music written by their members. If you beome a member, you basially sign away all rights of all music you have written in the past and will ever write in the future to them. You literally no longer own your own compositions.
As a return, you get paid according to a convoluted fixed tariff system that heavily favours top-40 producers, deducts up to 80% of fees, gets paid out with up to two years of delay - and the exclusivity of the deal leads to absurd situation like artists having to pay for your own concerts.
In addition to that, GEMA also acts as a collection agency for foreign copyright organisations who have granted GEMA collection rights through IFPI.
Because skilled directors and camera operators have learned in the last 100 years of movie making history which kind of camera movements work, and painstakingly avoid those which don't work with low framerates.
Like in the old days.

I think it's only fitting, keeping in mind, that in the old Amiga/Atari days, booting directly into your games was an absolutely normal thing to do - hardware resources were scarce, and the last thing you wanted was sharing RAM and precious CPU cycles with an OS running in the background.
You could as well ask "how to deliver a vinyl record online while avoiding piracy". The answer is simple: If you want your business to survive, you don't. You should rather develop a new product that actually makes sense on the medium you are about to move your business to.
Have a look at SOGo. Comes with native Outlook and active directory support, can use any IMAP/smtp server as backend, supports funambol for mobile device support, has a pretty slick web interface... unless you have some VERY specific requirement for single Microsoft novelty features, this is your exchange replacement right there.
Postal services around the world have been delivering anonymous mail for centuries, and never has any of them ever been made responsible for the content of anonymous letters.
But somehow, in the digital world, everyone wants the messenger shot, comparing a bunch of ones and zeroes with drugs and bombs as if bits could kill.
The problem is not that name and phonenumber have suddenly become secret information. It's all the other information they are linked with. The phone book only lists your name and your number. It does not know anything about your marital status, your religion, your friends or which brand of condoms you prefer. Facebook does.
"The Plague Dogs" is the third novel by Richard Adams, author of Watership Down, about two dogs who escape an animal testing facility and are subsequently pursued by both the government and the media.
There is also an 1982 animated film based on the 1977 novel of the same name by Richard Adams. The film was written-for-screen, directed and produced by Martin Rosen, who also directed Watership Down
Rowf (a Labrador-mix) and Snitter (a smooth fox terrier) are two of many dogs used for experimental purposes at an animal research facility in the Lake District of north-western England. They manage to escape, but initially relieved and eager to experience their new freedom, the dogs are soon faced not only with the realities of life in the wild but with another more terrifying realization--they are being hunted by their former captors. As they wander about aimlessly, the army and the media are roped into the pursuit, driven by rumors of the pair carrying bubonic plague and murdering sheep and even humans.
I'm not criticising the US for their environmental efforts. I'm criticizing a misleading headline. And yes, I agree, the economic growth rate in China is an environmental time bomb.

No. Next :)
Nope, the deal is exclusive, so one you've sold your soul to GEMA, your "Urheberrecht" is gone. Here's the contract: https://www.gema.de/fileadmin/...

"Aren't they also losing money by working with inefficient, outdated systems?"
No, they're not, because these days, newer versions of a software are commonly less efficient than the old version.
Oh, is the Oculus Groinal Attachment finally out of closed beta?
In fact it has been on the market for almost three years now: http://www.realtouchinteractive.com/
And yes, there are open source drivers. Here's the git repo. https://github.com/qdot/librealtouch
Now go, and make some awesome 3D haptic VR porn :)

Reality check, pretty please?
Ceiling Clippy is watching you masturbate!
Congratulations, you have just invented the iPhone Shuffle(tm)!
... why he slams Android is that it does not ship with REVERSI.
... very entertaining propaganda movie :)
The police will LOVE this!

You'd think that avoiding war saves more lives. Or is that solution already patented?

... Microsoft will be sponsoring Wikileaks, too?
So, what happens to those who are afraid of the fear detector?
Well, they are not. If they were, it would be legal, wouldn't it?
Then do it with furry porn.
