Way ahead of you, I've never bought a new DVD in my life (bought a couple of used ones in the early days), haven't bought any kind of game console since the original DS came out, and I play my DVDs with VLC. I avoid paying for anything that could end up funding the MPAA/RIAA or game companies that use DRM.
Its nothing but pro wrestling kayfabe, where they act like they hate each other then get taken to the same resort by a lobbyist after the cameras quit rolling and find out what they are REALLY gonna do.
I didn't believe this until the big Wikileaks dump came out which showed that the Democrats shielded the Republicans from war crimes charges...although I really should have seen it slightly earlier, when Obama made absolutely no use of the greatest political advantage ever handed to a party in recent history. One of the wrestlers was handed a chair while the other was on the floor and then they flailed around like they were fighting really hard, they called it "bipartisanship."
I'd just say "sure" and walk in a big circle and approach where I want from the other side.
"I'm 200 of my dick-lengths from the center of the polling station now, oddly it's brought me closer in a way, but if I get any further from here I'll be too close on BOTH sides of the planet." B-)
That's basically what I was going with, each computer will activate a relay, and if those two relays are both on then the motor that holds the clutch disengaged is activated.
It might work with good software, redundant controller sensors to prevent erroneous inputs, and ECC memory in the control computer. I'd have it communicate with a second computer, the two can sanity-check each other and either one can cut power to the clutch-disengagement motor if there's a disagreement.
And how is that clutch going to know when to engage? Unless the driver will have a mechanical lever they can pull, there will need to be another electronic system to detect a failure of the computerized steering...
If they wanted it to be safe it could destroy its internals with thermite or something (if necessary, probably not) and then deploy a parachute, but it probably just explosively self-destructs, scattering shrapnel everywhere.
That's what the NSA does, their headquarters building is a giant faraday cage. It's not as simple as painting though, it's a lot of work and would be very hard or impossible to retrofit.
Even if the shielding is crinkled, shouldn't any objects inside insulated from the shielding still be protected? Maybe I'll try that with an old microwave and a digipet or something.
People who think that programming is just a 9-5 job where you punch in, turn on your brain, do work, punch out, turn off your brain, are the bane of this industry. They'd be just as happy washing cars for 18 hours a day, and aren't necessarily interested in solving an annoying problem once and for all. They're just interested in a job, any job, so long as it's doing rote work and getting paid an hourly wage. No passion
Haha sucker. I'm way past that shit. Your long hours, hard work and dedication will never be rewarded, you're just letting them rip you off harder.
In the same league as the announcement of the iPhone's curated app ecosystem. Today was the day that mainstream computing officially set a course for curation.

You might be able to pass one off as a Dell Streak just by modding a touchscreen into the side :-P
A lot of the cheapo Chinese DVD recording boxes don't have Macrovision support, and despite being cheapo Chinese products some of them are decent ;-)

Technically there is no way to distinguish them. The mechanisms are one and the same.
There are no innocent bystanders in drone attacks, any adult men who get hit by a drone strike are considered "suspected militants." Not kidding.
If only Slick Willie could be re-elected and Hillary could be made to eat cake all day and grow a large hairdo, the US would be problem-free :-P

The metal cases generally have gaps bigger than the wavelength of microwave radiation...so, no.
Very fine wires/traces of any kind can be burnt out, like those found in just about any IC.
Even if the shielding is crinkled, shouldn't any objects inside insulated from the shielding still be protected? Maybe I'll try that with an old microwave and a digipet or something.
And people call me paranoid for storing my backup drives in shielded boxes.
I'm sure those planes and hospitals are full of Suspected Militants anyways...
And cars don't automatically crash if the electronics fail, thats the reason EMP is used against fleeing vehicles.

I like how they used flesh-colored cylindrical bars in that graph XD
We need to form a support group. Overworked Lone Coders Anonymous.
'Sup lone codemonkey buddy!
I know I have one piece of code with an apology in the comments -_-

Understatement of the year. Some companies don't like to hire people who are unemployed, never mind those with ZOMGEMPLOYMENTGAPS!

And if the government does it, they'll just grant themselves retroactive immunity.
