Oh don't worry, the same companies that control TV also control our internet, and how much of a "Netflicks surcharge" we have to pay. And what the caps are set at. I'm sure they'll do fine for themselves; it's amazing what board position can do to hold back innovation; look at MSFT.
I've never been offered a job that didn't direct deposit my paycheck and I've been working since high school. BoA has a smartphone app for depositing checks by taking a picture, and usually I just hand off cash or keep track of debts on whiteboards/Google Docs with my friends and take turns paying. Never heard of a money order except on those cheesy TV informericals. I got my first checking account earlier this year. Move money around from various accounts via HSBC online. They even have an option to pay someone, they'll either direct deposit or mail them a check -- you just put in name, address, and amount. It's how I paid my rent last year.
Part of it is I basically refuse to deal with dead-tree paperwork, but I've never really had to compromise this principle. If you shop around you can find all the services you need. One reason I'm pissed about this plan is I expcet to see required windows-only crapware installed just to do tasks I've become accustomed to.
All these services are available in the US, though they're not really secure at all. I've never been to a 711 in my life (it's a gas station right?) and do all my banking online.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the defense spending, but looking at the rest of the money I'm pretty content with where it went. I'd like a bit more to STEM and a bit less to corn, but then I am an engineering grad student; were I a corn farmer I might feel differently:)
They can turn part of the company non-profitable if getting it out of the way makes some other part of the company more profitable. That's the idea here.
...to stop piracy, let's treat our customers who access our product legally terrible and blame the dirty pirates! Surely this will turn public opinion against them. It's the pirates' fault we can't have nice things.
I am unable to believe that the authors of that video had any expectation whatsoever of it being taken seriously. It is clearly a parody of the heavy-handed system and ridicules the current state of affairs.
My suspicion is that few scientists would actually publish something they knew was false at the time (sure sure Wakefield, but I don't think they're the norm). There's a good chance that someone/extending/ your work will find it false, even if no one recreates it. No, scientists who fake data fake things they believe strongly to be correct to save the time to actually run the data. This is very helpful, eg, for being the first to discover the Hugs boson or whatnot that theory predicts: you publish and hope the community proves you right. Bad science is eventually wrung out. It can take embaressingly long but the odds are still good it'll happen in your lifetime. And then you're done. You'll never work in R&D, let alone academia, again.

Lower bandwidth caps. Problem solved.
Isn't MITM fraud? and felony computer hacking Or do you consent in the EULA?

Non-invasive refers to the fact that the electrodes are not implanted in the brain. After all, Citizen, removing your Cap is counterrevolutionary.
Also more lag and pagination so users have to look at more ads and click more.

You backward canucks still get your slurpees in stores? In America we order and enjoy them online! No need to leave the sofa and no mess.
Thing is the GNU foundation doesn't make large contributions to various political campaigns, so it's products aren't MSXZYJLAMP certified.

when, in your rush to surrender, you trip over your own shoes.
I use Python for everything. But I'd take C++ over Java any day. Don't even list it on my resume.

And how many more trials you need to run to achieve a given certainty level.
by Arthur C. Clarke? Not so much in what is happening, but by the older generation's bemoaning thereof.
And whether or not I agree with this comment...wtf does technology have to do with it? Last generation it'd have been a book.
This. Only way to be sure you remove all infringing links.
Also the cartels can lobby too. And they sure don't want legalization.
