You're ignoring the circumstances of the situation. What's next, if you kill yourself in a car accident, it's your fault? Even if the seatbelt broke because it couldn't take the force of a crash? And it would have saved your life if it was engineered properly?
Or how about if you jump off a plane to your death, it's your fault. So your parachute didn't deploy... Who cares? You killed yourself.
In both your situations, your dead.
What the hell has this got to do with a game controller
Completely different, this is a case where people are using the controller too hard in a confined space when there is no need to do so.
If they used the controller properly, which is to say, if they moved in normally without throwing their arms about like a lunatic, there wouldn't be any broken TVs or injuries.
That's misdirection, it doesn't matter when the student is using it, what matters is that the teacher is spreading false information and punishing a student based on lies and their own biases.
No it's you who can't grasp it. She says quite plain a simply.
"For example, in South Korea, Warner Brothers is combating piracy of its DVDs by releasing a watermarked version online, instead of a DRM-protected DVD."
They're releasing the DVDs online themselves and then claiming people have pirated them. If you release your own product on the internet then it's not piracy.
It's interesting that a lawyer can know so much about this. She's obviously the most experienced person to know about this stuff..

How is it piracy if Warner Brothers releases it? Aren't you a fucking lawyer?! You should know this!
For example, leading digital fingerprinting company Audible Magic expects a turn-key system to cost around $100,000 for a large university this year.
and I assume Universities will be forced into installing this black box on their network monitoring all their traffic, because that isn't weird in a 1984 kind of way..
For example, less than 1% of the Olympic coverage viewed this past summer was pirated.
So what? Most of us didn't watch it on purpose out of protest. Correlation doesn't equate causation.
Some campuses have taken measures to create their own tools to combat piracy. The University of Florida is a great example. Once they realized the huge cost that piracy was creating on campus, they developed their own tool to combat illegal file sharing. This tool, called âoeRed Lambda,â helped bring the Universityâ(TM)s number of infringement claims to almost zero, and the infrastructure and bandwidth savings were so great that the University was awarded a taxpayer award for the savings generated.
So rather then buy a $100,000 system they rolled their own and got paid for doing it? Nice to see those taxes aren't going to waste.
Digital fingerprinting and watermarking would not be possible if net neutrality is enforced in its harshest form.
They don't work now, she even says so in the pdf that watermarking doesn't work and what does network neutrality have to do with this at all.
She should stick to her own profession instead of thinking she knows things about computers.
If net neutrality is implemented in its strictest form, with carriers not being able to distinguish between any packets, prioritizing more time-sensitive traffic such as video and VoIP traffic, we will have lost much of the innovation that makes the internet great, and may lose what progress we have made.
The reason the internet is what it is because it is network neutral. They'd be no Google if it wasn't for network neutrality as well as many other companies.
Her reasoning is that VOIP and video is more important because big companies want to turn the Internet into cable TV and Phone.
She can not comprehend the Internet as a communication tool used by all, she can only see money to be made.. Typical really, she is a lawyer after all..
Take for example materials that have been created by companies such as IKeepSafe. One recent initiative taken was the creation of a new online adventure: âoeFaux Paw and the Dangerous Download.â This book and animated adventure helps explain to kids why piracy is bad, and encourages them to only download from trusted, legal sites.
Yes lets brainwash the kids, that'll ensure your cashcow internet is a success. Don't download from our competitors stores, only our trusted website.
I am grateful that government has acted in an appropriate manner, incorporating piracy education requirements in the Higher Education Opportunity Act.
Why? You're the FCC Commissioner however the more I read the more you sound like a fucking RIAA sleeper agent and "incorporating" isn't the word I would use, "slipped in" sounds more appropriate.
Some of you probably attended public schools that were connected to the internet through a program administered by the FCC, the âoeE-rate pro
Slashdot Mirror
In both your situations, your dead.

I don't think posting AC is going to help because you're the only one on slashdot that:
a) Has a wife
b) Has a wife that reads slashdot
This is the dumbest thing I have ever read.
It just shows you have no idea about game development.
This is Adrian Kingsley-Hughes we're talking about. He's a Microsoft fanboi and probably on Microsoft's payroll.
The only question I got is when are we going to get some real benchmarks and not marketing dribble reposted by this douchebag.
Great, however "going to" isn't "already support".
Just like when they had a warrent to raid the minister of parliament's office?
lol, yeah like not having a warrant has even stopped them.
yet it doesn't matter because the article has been updated to include another flaw which does effect IE 7 xp x86.
The other 0 day exploit for Internet Explorer works on XP.
I wouldn't hire anyone who "just knew word", i'd expect them to be able to learn any program they were given.
If you're using Linux or have Linux experience then that shows your ability to learn new things in my book.
Welcome the FFC commissioner!

Looks like that piracy education is being put to good use by stopping those Linux pirates.
That's misdirection, it doesn't matter when the student is using it, what matters is that the teacher is spreading false information and punishing a student based on lies and their own biases.
That's not true though, you only have to give source code away to everyone if you give it away to someone.
haha, you don't happen to be the same person that's posting about Civ IV on the wine mailing list would you?
No it's you who can't grasp it. She says quite plain a simply.

Read what I said next time, jackass.
Whatever government shill, why do you fuck off back to your recording company now? Thanks bye.
How about instead of asking this you just go read the article posted hours ago about the creator of c++ and his views on education?

They went bankrupt, that only thing that is still the same about Atari is the name.
No they aren't like you because everyone else knew you could run CUDA on ATI too.
I can also make a query which makes MySQL look better the PostgreSQL. What's your point?
The police are too busy raiding game developer buildings with shotguns and listening in on Skype calls.
Couldn't you just buy one to begin with and then use that German bank account to buy the rest?
I thought this could be interesting discussion however it's comment after comment of "waa waa waa no linux drivers, broadcom sucks"
Yeah, like complaining on slashdot is going to help.... *rolls eyes*
...and why did you waste your time writing this on slashdot instead of your government a letter (those paper things)?
