Those doctors then were no different than the paid shill AGW denialists (or politicians spreading factually wrong FUD about cannabis) today. The negative health effects of smoking were known since well before WW2, mainstream science never considered it healthy. In both the cases of denying the dangers of tobacco and outlawing cannabis (at least since the safety of cannabis was first properly studied and legalization was officially recommended, sometime back in the '70s IIRC) it is stupid because we were acting against our best knowledge.
If something so easily available is more addictive than cigarettes that's a really serious problem. Do Facebookers get the shakes if they go a long time without status updates? Would they step outside into freezing cold weather for a Facebook break if they couldn't get a signal indoors?
And backwards, and horrible. To think they'd uphold the integrity of a mere law that was clearly wrong in retrospect over the integrity of a good person...disgusting.
Even the PC isn't safe. If anyone can find a seeded torrent for the first Spy Hunter remake (2001) please email it to me.
I'd like the version of Terminal Velocity with the hi-res textures as well, I can buy that at any EBgames right?
I may also be the only person in possession of a fully patched copy of BattleZone II: Combat Commander (I bought the original game and have all the patches), many years ago the developers removed all copy protection with a final patch so I don't think they'll mind if I share it.
I've also been trying to find the NTSC version of Destroy All Humans 1 for the PS2. I found the PAL version but it doesn't work properly in the emulator.
I've done calculations to show that picking up giant diamonds from the surface of Mars with a very optimistically priced robot wouldn't be profitable. The only possible resource that could be profitable to bring back from space would be He3 from the moon, for use in fusion power.
Facetime voice/video chat at least, is regular SIP (using H.264 codecs) connecting through a central server that allows you to look up SIP URIs from phone numbers or email addresses. It's not regular SIP like Ekiga though, it first does a lookup using HTTPS (from user name or email) which then returns the SIP peer name to be dialed, from that point it is then a regular SIP call. It should be possible to implement an open Facetime client though, codecs aside.
Oh I'm pretty confident that it's possible to make something untraceable and unblockable. There are some darknet sites that surely wouldn't be up right now otherwise.
And the only other way to stop piracy is to roll the dice and send SWAT teams into homes with high bandwidth usage.
I dunno about temperature (probably no problem outside of extreme temperatures) but nothing inside your body will affect your chances of being struck by lightning (unless it makes you taller or compels you to stand outside in thunderstorms). It could affect the path the lightning takes through your body though.
Plus without Wolverine's super-healing it would be useless. You'd just take organ damage instead of getting broken bones (let's assume joints won't be damaged), and then you'll die because you don't have super-healing.
It is extremely heat resistant and you could in fact build a very impressive engine block out of it... and be able to tune you motor by adjust combustion until your ignition color went blue (indicating complete optimal combustion.)
Well you'd have to peek between the oil and coolant passages to get a good look inside the cylinder...it would mostly look like the slushie machine from hell with some flashing lights inside.
The only thing preventing Bittorrent from becoming un-killable is that the transition to darknets is hard, much like the IPv4-to-IPv6 problem, but even worse in that you wouldn't be able to keep the same domains in the transition. However if there was some big effort by torrent users to switch to Bittorrent-over-I2P, piracy would be un-blockable and un-traceable. That is, un-killable.
But the "cheap and DRM-free" AKA "compete with piracy" argument has been around for about a decade, I wonder if none of the execs have seen it or if they're all just rock-fuck stupid?

I remember this guy, he was a total moron. A total moron who committed a crime went to prison. Seems fair.

Well this is inconsistent:

signal 'sink rate, whoop, whoop, pull up'."
To be fair I don't think I would have listened to a juggalo computer either :-P
Yes what would we ever do without swarms of HFT servers sucking the value out of the market within milliseconds, before humans could ever react.
btjunkie certainly had a wider and older selection than TPB. If you needed something old or obscure, btjunkie had it.
I was thinking the same thing.

They won't blow you they do give short handjobs...
Same here. I've even seen that argument used *on slashdot* where the aerodynamics of fecal matter are supposedly poor.
That's another witch hunt approach, not as physically dangerous as raiding high-bandwidth houses but just as inaccurate.
Apple looking at the source code of apps sold on its store make me feel safer.
They don't do that, that's why a tethering app was able to slip through disguised as a "flashlight" (show a white screen) app.

Oh yeah I've seen that one. I'd like to see the same device inside a DI interference engine.
Shit, good point, admitting homosexuality was the cheat code to quit the military. Now what is there?

I still want one though! :D

They became DMCA-compliant and didn't see this coming? The sites practically killed themselves.
You forgot a Steve who is going to throw a chair at you.
