Why the false dichotomy? You can do interesting and adventurous things without going to theocratic shitholes, in fact it's probably harder to find interesting and adventurous activities in such places.
This is the second man of Iranian descent sentenced to death in Iran while visiting his family there in just the last few months. If you're Iranian, don't go to Iran to visit your family, they'll find some reason to kill you. If all else fails they can call you a spy.
Now that's closer to FreeNet. It could work if the total storage is tallied and peer failure stays below a designed maximum tolerable level. FreeNet just doesn't do either of those things and basically only keeps the most popular content.
Hardly. FreeNet is about as far from self-healing as you can get (if your content is unpopular, it just goes away). What Samantha's talking about sounds more like Bittorrent - which can suffer from the same popularity problem, but unlike FreeNet the files are always available as long as at least one person has a copy.
You'd have to break the shit out of the laws of physics first of all. Then they'd be regulated tighter than firearms. No preteen kids roaming around with more firepower than an attack helicopter.
Well you have to remember that this connector was originally designed for use with the heavy steel beige boxes of the late 80s/early 90s and it was updated to eventually work with razor-thin phones many times more powerful than those beige boxes. That it was done with only 2 smaller industry-standard connectors (one effectively replacing the other - miniUSB wasn't popular for long) being created in the process sounds like a success to me.
Huh I thought my 2009 model laptop was one of the last with only VGA output (which is fine for me, because I don't have any shiny new TVs, and my 1080p monitor and any projectors I may use have VGA-in).
USB and the mini and micro variants are a success story if anything. The plugs are electrically identical, just physically smaller, and they're industry-standard. Meanwhile Apple was coming up with all kinds of crazy stupid proprietary shit (going so far as the infamous Charger Resistor Trick) and many other manufacturers were making proprietary connectors for individual device models.
And there's no need to worry about that, because any file that requires HDCP for playback still won't work over a DVI link without an HDCP handshake.
But then HDCP compliance is only relevant to your needs at all if you're a noob and a sucker. My gaming PC is HDCP-compliant but the feature will never be used.
Electrically HDMI and DVI are equivilent, but HDMI has a smaller and more robust connector.
They don't have all the same pins. HDMI can carry audio while DVI can't, and DVI can carry analog video in addition to digital video while HDMI can only carry digital.

Exactly. If he had shareholders to appease he'd be in a world of shit right now.

You have only 100GB? My home backups are over 4TB.

She was referring to government and cooperative society in general, rather than personal privacy.

Lots of us do but few are willing to admit it ;-)

Exactly, I'm surprised the change was so little. I bet quite a few waves of buying and selling went on before the GP saw the price.
They don't need the money... what can they buy with it that they already can't afford?
Small private jets run 20-100M, airliner-size ones can run up to 0.5B.
Or some kind of Borg mind-link system.
Not at all, it's about context.

Exactly, it never made sense to put VGA ports on video cards (or other output devices) once DVI was introduced.

Meanwhile Apple was coming up with all kinds of crazy stupid proprietary shit (going so far as the infamous Charger Resistor Trick) and many other manufacturers were making proprietary connectors for individual device models.
I see a lot of people complaining about reliability, is it just because the dumb little plugs come loose or is something else wrong with them?

Really? Every video card I've had since the early/mid 2000s has had a DVI port. My gaming PC has 4 on the back right now.
DVI is capable of all the same DRM bullshit as HDMI. The only capability HDMI has that DVI doesn't is the ability to carry audio.
It's not even an adapter, it's a converter.
