    Who? who goes to Jail? the shareholders? the majority shareholder? the CEO? the Lawyer? The Engineer?

    It's a corporation, they understand money. Fine them 250 pounds per impacted TV. Give them 30 days to enable preexisting feature or fine them again.
    It will solve this problem, and it will mean other competitors won't do it.

    Putting people in jail for this is a waste of time, money, jail space ad will accomplish very little.

    to break feature the preexisted the new firmware update should not be allowed. Maybe a fine off 200 dollars per TV they disabled.
    They should put the policy up front, and if people decline they just don't get any new features, just bug(manufacture defects) fixes.

    Saying 'period' in no way strengthen's your point.

    I'm glad you like it more as a social game, but you don't speak for everyone.

    Now, if I had said period after my sentence, would that have changed you mind? made me right?

    stop doing it, it's condescending and makes you look like a non-thinking ass.

    "The English language is fluid and ever changing."
    Stop and ask yourself why that is? IT's because there was little communication, no standards, libraries where not widely available or well stocked.
    So changes happened.
    We are no longer isolated. We have the internet. SO there is no need for language to change due to ignorance.

    "who are you or I to say that it is wrong?"
    smart people who don't want ignorance to dictate how we speak.

    no. It's not the stupid ages when each city and community had little communication with each other, so changes happened.
    We live in the age of the internet. Their is no longer a reason to let ignorance dictate changes in meaning.

    You can NOT have competition without regulation. What you have is a single monopoly.
    This isn't selling 10 dollar t-shirts, it's infrastructure. How do you propose the market would solve thins? how would you want to ahve everyone who want to compete to have to dig up your yard and street?

    You idea is foolish and naive at best. It flies in the face of history. There has NEVER been a similar situation that when unregulated goes well fore the consumer.
    Read more history and less Fox.

    TO anyone who has read the history of the markets, you statement look stupid.. no not stupid, fucking stupid.

    I know far too many adults who saw it when it came out, in 77's, and still disliked the prequals. They where boring, and the parts that weren't boring where poorly done.

    Jar - Jar was close to being a great character. if he toned it down a little, and if has accident that save the day were intentionally done. That would have made him the smart outsider, instead of the Trix Rabbit.

    "Star Wars movies were great because we saw them when we were 13 years old, and they were filmed to appeal to 13 year olds."

    they where great for all ages because thy where ground breaking. They won academy awards, the first run was months, adults where lining up and waiting hours.

    In 1970s, no one spent millions making a movie for 13 year olds.

    I've seen picture of Chinese floating lanterns which are clearly 50 feet away(reference point: trees) and people say it' a UFO miles away.

    "According to eyewitness testimonial, sighting was with clear, blue, cloudless skies, no aircraft in sight, altitude unknown but definitely above airliner cruising altitude."

    So no reference but thew new the altitude?
    The testimony is worth exactly nothing. This is a common problem with 'UFO seekers' they have no idea that they can't actual give a distance with any accuracy without reference.. So the 'distance' they see something is set at whatever the bias of the viewer wants it to be.

    The person who took the video refuses to believe it's acutally a Balloon and thinks Google is lying. So idiocy abounds.
