If the DRM supporters weren't liars, they'd be forced to support the DMCRA instead of oppose it - or else they'd be inconsistent.
See, they claim DRM only stops infringing uses. Even with the DMCRA, it would be illegal to circumvent any DRM that doesn't restrict non-infringing uses.
They claim DRM doesn't do that (a lie). If it didn't - they would have nothing to worry about.
But they know DRM does, and they like the fact that it is illegal to exercise fair use (which is NOT infringement) if in doing so one circumvents DRM.
They like decimating fair use.
By opposing the DMCRA, they will be exposed as hypocrites. If they do not, they will lose their power over us (beyond what copyright with fair use allows them to do).
They could make it a Federal felony to use a modem, and make the phone switch auto-detect non-voice traffic (this can be done with current technology) and automatically shut down the line and alert the authorities who will come by and immediately seize your PC, smash it to bits, revoke your civil rights (including voting, running for office - so you can't even try to change the system) and sentence you to 5 years in Federal prison where they will ensure you are physically violated by a hard core criminal inmate.
Clip off the voltage spikes and AGC circuits won't be confused and Macrovision detection ciruits which disable recording won't know it was "protected" content anymore.
So we'll keep using the graphics boards, and buy about $20 of components to strip the Macrovision out.
The guy (Randal Schwartz) also was actually convicted of a felony! Likely if it had been in Nevada, he wouldn't have been guilty of anything (but would have been just as fired, obviously). In Nevada, one is presumed to have legal authorization unless the employer makes it very clear (in writing, perhaps signed even) that one does not. Legal authorization as in you aren't committing a crime - you can still be fired for it.
Could they have put some pressure on the judge, jury, etc to get him convicted?
They have a lot of clout in Oregon, and could impress upon their employees to tell their friends, family, etc, who could include the judge, jury and/or people that know the juge, jury, etc to support them or else they might leave the state, which would hurt the economy, cost jobs (mass layoffs and unemployment going through the roof).
Well, at least the chips shut down or slow down instead of burn down when they get too hot, unlike a certain competitor.

Wiping out the gene for insulin resistance would be a better idea.
Without that gene - you could be 500 lbs (227 kg), and/or eat 1 lb (454 g) of raw sugar and lard a day and not be insulin resistant.
Insulin resistance is a necessary (*) part of type 2 diabetes and a big contributor to heart disease.
(*) But not sufficient. One also needs a weak pancreas - wiping out that gene is probably completely safe - having a pancreas which fails under adverse load is useless.

Old versions of Dreamweaver were really bad for compliance.
Newer versions are much, much, better and actually generate decent HTML.
There was a group called the "Dreamweaver Task Force" which pressured Macromedia to clean things up - which they did.
How old a Dreamweaver are you using?
The no-copy bit on CDs. :)

Macrovision is easy to defeat however.

Here it is in 8 bytes or 7 if you leave off the trailing newline
:)
:)
echo -n
Beat that!
Or this
#!
(no newline)
2 bytes, and it works!
Just a space and we are down to 1 byte!
Heck, I've gotten it down to zero bytes and it still works!
Beat that!
Save a few K: echo "main(){}" > true.c && gcc true.c -o /bin/true
/bin/true
Your sig is wrong, on my Linux box I get 16 in $?
This works and only takes 715 bytes total size compiled:
echo -e '.globl _start\n_start:\nmovl $1, %eax\nxorl %ebx, %ebx\nint $0x80' > true.S; gcc true.S -nostdlib -o
Don't worry about oxytocin being used by the right-wing to oppress people.
Why?
Because oxytocin can induce labor and hence abortion.
People on the far right would thus never use it.
You planning on living billions and billions of months?
If so, let me know your secret.
Can I have a Beowulf cluster of those?
Oh wait...
The poster meant where would one get the electric power needed to run the electric car.
:)
From oil, as solar power doesn't work too well in the UK.

That shouldn't be too hard.
Too bad it isn't accurate.
I have a personal name site and a community site that are both
Ignoring an SSL warning when you are on an SSL enabled bugzilla or somesuch is one thing.
Ignoring it on your bank's site is quite another. Even if it is just a misconfig, that speaks very poorly of their competence and hence security.
SSL warning on connecting to my bank means I don't login - I call the Online Banking or security department.
A big hospital here in Vegas just got hacked. No one is safe.
It is illegal to broadcast encrypted HDTV.
Hence the "need" for the broadcast flag and the associated legally enforced prohibitions that the flag entails.
Comparable to genetic diversity?
So with people, everyone's got a different set of diseases.
With software, every project has a different set of bugs.
Let's hope it is more successful in that than in its attempt to change the C++ language.
Remember named return variables? I wrote code which used them and now I get fatal errors when trying to compile it.
Why a fatal error instead of a warning for an old feature? Don't break people's code!
Richard Stallman is leading the "free software", not the "Open Source" movement, as he himself has said.
Open Source leaders are more moderate.

He's financial doing well, but is he happy?
There are rich people who are so unhappy they even kill themselves.
Getting back to Billyboy, if he was truly happy, would he be so ruthless even though he is already so rich.
Heck, I'd be happy with only $5 billion.

Linux is getting bloated beyond belief.
It used to run well in 4 MB.
Now it runs badly in 128 MB.
5 years from now you'll need a full 4GB.
10 years from now, you won't be able to (or it will be PAINFULLY SLOW AND CRAMPED) run on a 32 bit chip.
You'll need at least 4 TERABYTES of disk and 16 GB of RAM on a 8 GHZ 64 bit chip to run it well.
Linux: You need to stop and reverse the bloat.
How many 100,000 instructions are run on a mouse click now?
I am a Linux supporter, and am disappointed in seeing this happen.
Some say he did, and that his grand unification formula was what made the Philadelphia Experiment a reality.
Gay people have been around a LOT longer than pollution has. By over 2000 years at least.
