You're not pirating the game if you bought a copy.
The license allows you to install one copy of the program onto your computer for the purpose of using that program. It does not specify that you must use the disc you purcahsed to install it. What your son did is entirely legal, and the kind of case which needs to go to court so this whole "AMAGAD P2P IS TEH LOOZORX!!1 Piewacy iz killinz teh bizniss!!1" tripe from major corporations can be thrown out, as it should have been before technology like BitTorrent ever existed.
Posted speed is either a revenue generation scheme, or an indicator of hazardous conditions (urban area, sharp bends, downhill slope etc). Either way, that's all part of "the conditions"
State maximum is revenue generation. Pure and simple. On a UK motorway in my car, I can hit 110mph very easily. I don't do it, because I can't control the car at that speed. I don't have enough time to react. It's nothing to do with the speed limit imposed by the gov.
Large vehicles should drive slower as they have longer stopping distances. They need to look further ahead than smaller vehicle drivers to pre-empt hazards, and that distance is finite. At 140kph, stopping distance for a car (1.5t) is 158m a 6-axle articulated lorry can be up to 40 times that mass. You think that can stop in 158 metres too? Driving too fast for conditions.
Kind of road is road condition. Narrow streets, lined with houses, near a school. You drive slowly so you don't kill a dumb child who runs into the street, because children are dumb enough to do that. It's not rocket surgery. Everything you've stated is covered by "too fast for the conditions."
If they can somehow output the scan results to anything but a secure archive, this system needs shutting down and those involved in its design need stripping of any professional accreditation they have.
The policy was implemented out of cultural respect and to keep harassment claims at bay.
Firstly, I understand the cultural differences regarding Mid-East religions and Western values. I'm not talking about that.
I'm against privacy invasion as much as the next freedom-loving guy, but allowing a security checkpoint to scan through my clothes to make sure I don't have 3 x 150ml bottles of water under my jumper doesn't really bother me.
Male or female, they can look all they want. I'm no prude, and it's not a "Let's point and laugh!" situation. These people will see hundreds of people "in the buff" a day. They won't remember you. It'd be like insisting that a Gynecologist wear blinkers so they don't see the size of your thighs.
Perhaps some of you folk need to stop being so self conscious. People come in different shapes and sizes; You're no different.
Debian = not home user Cisco Aironet 1200 (first Cisco AP I found): £60 = not home user (Router + AP + cordless phone = free on BT broadband + phone tarrifs) Netgear Gigabit Switch = not home user
Tell me again how this helps me get BitTorrent to not crash my consumer networking gear. Please read the question.
I've done just that. Passthru of BT port to my PC, and it still shits itself with any more than about 20 peers.
I eventually manually limited BT to 10 peers total, which essentially made it pointless to use. All because my router couldn't handle the packet load.
Note that downloading ISOs using a multi-part download resuming app to saturate my downtream from one source does not cause this issue. It's P2P-specific.
If you were to take the fraction of a second of audio "stored" in the wire between the stylus and the amp, and the amp to the speakers only, would it be recognisable as a portion of the copyrighted work?
Would the 1.2s of audio stored in RAM be recognisable?
This question also would cause issues for any company which used anti-skip technology in a portable CD player (play from cache), up to 10 seconds of audio in a lot of cases. That would be MORE than recognisable.

Pedantic troll is a pedant.
I have this... Increadible feeling of... Deja vu...

Offtopic? This thing consumes oxygen when it charges.
Mods must be having a bad day, or just not reading TFA. Oh yeah, this is SlashDot. Par for the course.
A fair point.
:)
I guess I should maybe, you know, open a window, or open an air vent?
Neither, it's vapourware.
Thank you, thank you... Try the duck, the veal is off tonight.
Yes, it would be extremely dangerous to use this near any source of ignition.
At least, that is unless you had some kind of highly complex extraction device to remove the oxygen build up.
At least it's two days. Any earlier and Uwe Boll would have time to ruin the franchise for everyone; Consumer and publisher.

Was xp pro 64bit, Q6600 processor, 4GB RAM, 1.5TB HDD, 8800GTX graphics.
Not tried with Win7, though.

The part where you sent the detailed complaint, and the reply you received, to the local press.
"Boo hoo you called me a bad name and I'm leaving!" solved nothing. You needed to take this further. I agree with VeNoM619.

BusyBox? /proc/sys?
telnet in as root?
echo 5120
Does that all mean that I can't use BitTorrent without purchasing more hardware? You can guess why home users don't seed, can't you.

You already have +5 Insightful, so I'll say "Bravo, very well put" instead.
My clocks are 24 hour, you insensitive clod!
BitTorrent has similar issues. You'd have thought they'd realise that multiple sockets = fail for most home network equipment.
I mean Grandpa's BT HomeHub, not a high-end enthusiast router with custom Linux build.
A translation into Lay Man:

All clear now?

Gaaaaaaaaah!
I think I just caught colour blindness.
It's Microsoft that's doing it, and that means that it is filled with the evil of Beelzibub and Xenu!

Are you trying to say that Jesus wouldn't want you to "Live long, and prosper"?
