And for someone like me who doesn't have cable, blocking Google TV (and similar) ensures they get zero ad money. I hate watching shows on a computer monitor.
They can and will go after you if the speech in question is made on the radio or TV and might hurt someone's hears. Look up the ancient George Carlin skit where he uttered some unutterable words on the air and the aftermath. I believe the broadcaster was fined.
In true/. tradition, I didn't read the article. I find your insertion of any semblance of logic and/or facts into this thread in violation of said tradition. I hereby sentence you to 30 months of prison.
This isn't exactly off topic. The parent is comparing sentences of two acts of crime, one of which resulted in death. If that's offtopic in the comments for an article about one of said acts of crime, I really want to know the mod's idea of being on topic.
I'm curious as to what sort of sentence you would get for cutting off someone's power or whatever comm line they use (be it coaxial, fiber, telephone, etc.). If I cut your server's link to the web, would I get off easier than attempting to saturate that link?
You can get less time for killing someone, depending on the circumstances. I seem to remember a police officer who shot a suspect in the back getting 2 years in prison. I don't recall whether he was convicted of murder or manslaughter or what, but still, that's less time for a DDoS against a few pundits.
I thought it was the Japanese who lived longest. This is clearly caused by the use of nuclear weapons on their population. Therefore, I suggest the rest of the world nuke at least one city per country, so that we may live longer.
They could sell actual paintings or sculpture or prints or whatever, not a JPEG that I can copy about a trillion times over. They need to make money off of what is actually scarce. They have no right to meddle with the laws if their business model can't adapt to modern realities.
You perform. Let's say you're a band. You would make your money on concert tickets and merchandise sales. If you're a game maker, you could charge for online access. Because of the nature of IP--there is no scarcity--you have to capitalize on what actually is scarce. I can make a bazillion copies of XYZ Band Popular Song, but you can only get the XYZ Band concert experience from XYZ Band.
Copyright itself also has the ability to lessen the incentive to produce art. Once you've got one popular piece, you can continue to sue all copiers for your entire lifetime. In fact, the way it is now, your great grandchildren can still profit from it.
Maybe or maybe not (that depends only on the eye of the beholder), but it sure as heck doesn't have any scarcity, which is what I believe the GP is trying to refer to.
I didn't know RIP was all that hardware intensive. My cheap D-Link router can run it and OSPF just fine. Its lack of USB ports makes it unable to share printers, though.
Are those Apple supported? If I install xyz with them, does that void any Apple given support? I genuinely want to know. I don't know the answer for AIX either.
There are some long, long flights you can take, and there are some long, long road trips you can make. To get from where I live to my grandparents, it takes about 7-8 hours of driving time. I'm sure a passenger would appreciate a battery that can last that long.
Unless you count latency, which is probably going to be a fair bit higher than just a SATA cable. I think SSDs can also pump out more data than a gigabit port can handle.
There's a few good movies. Moon, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Aliens, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Full Metal Jacket, Serenity (and The show, Firefly). There is a huge amount of B movies though.
Easier said than done. That last mile is uphill, both ways, covered in landmines, and guarded by paramilitary organizations. At least, that's what the lack of progress in this area has lead me to believe
It's funny you say that, because our ISPs in this country operate in a manner that is hardly conducive to a free market. They get money from the state, they get laws from the state that allow them to lay their cables on your property (even if don't want them), in some cases they get (or have gotten) state sanctioned monopolies (sometimes called franchise agreements), and I'm sure the mucking about in the FCC and Congressional telephony regulation probably insulates them from competitors. I think those are where the battles should really be fought, especially the outright monopolies that have been granted in the past.
It has on offline mode, but you have to log in at least once to be able to use it. I seem to recall one issue with it a few years ago when some sort of storm knocked some of their authentication servers, causing you to be unable to log in for a few days. I bought a game around that time. Because of the issues, I couldn't play it for few days after I bought it.
When dealing with matters of personal freedom and politics, it becomes very hard to generate concrete numbers to coolly and calmly decide who exactly is the lesser of two evils.

I don't disagree, except to say our markets are hardly shining examples of free at this point.

You cannot return sane terms forever. Just as before, they can retroactively apply them to anything still under copyright, just as they did before.

Who said that anyone has a right to a middle class livelihood? Do copyright holders, by some divine principle, deserve to be in the middle class?

You still have to get that bandwidth to the last mile. Your backbone can run at 2^64 bps, but if everyone gets to it by dialup, it doesn't matter.
