And this is exactly why we need to move to IPv6 asap. So that every computer, every device on the Internet can be a server. Then we can provide services and information independent of service providers and big business, like Google et al.
And I simply told you why the days of piracy are not over.
I never said I want any control
Yes - you do. You're saying that ISP should not allow illegal downloads. The only way to do that is deep packet inspection. As a result you (the ISP) are controlling what users can do or can not do.
And just to end this discussion right here and now - It's all about control. Media companies are losing control. That's what this is all about. The Internet was built as de-centralized network with nobody in control. And govts and hollywood are not able to deal with that. They are desperately trying to hold on to their "power".
Content creation used to be in the hands of a few. Now with the Internet everybody can create content. And media companies and govts are afraid of that.
Which is one reason why I strongly oppose tablets - tablets are consume-only devices. We, the people, need to be very careful and aware, that we don't lose the ability to create content with powerful desktop computers running proper desktop operating systems.
And do you really believe that this kind of behavior by the "entertainment" industry is going to make me buy more of their crap?
Keep dreaming...
If I buy something then I decide where and how I will use it. Not you, not the "entertainment" industry can and should decide and control what I can or can not do with the stuff I paid money for. Get it?
And after I bought the movie or music, stop treating me like a damn criminal with your stupid FBI messages about piracy.
But No - you have to control each and every aspect of your crap with drm, region code and other technology crap.
Nowadays copyright and "intellectual" property is one big mechanism to control what users can or can not do. And I will not participate in that!
They've had the name since 2011 and suddenly today it's a problem?

Looks to me like somebody exerted pressure onto somebody else. Same as in 2006 when the US threatened Sweden with trade sanctions if they wouldn't do something about TPB.
no requirement that any private entity accepts your cash.
Well - u know what?
You don't want my money? You don't want my cash?
Fine. I will happily take my business elsewhere.
When will companies realize... we, the people, don't need you. You, companies, need us customers more then we need you. I can simply take my business elsewhere. Or simply don't do it at all. That way I get to keep my money and you get nothing. I win, you lose.
And webkitgtk is at 1.10.2 now, but this particular bug is still not fixed.
Yes - you can "fix" this by compiling webkitgtk against gtk3, but then the audio and video tags are messed up. They are transparent and have no slider.
What really got under my skin was the feeling that apple had a remote kill switch capable of disabling software on my computer, and that they had used it.
I left that support call convinced that Apple had hacked my Mac.
Like I said before - this shows you have no understanding of what's running on your computer.
Vendors (Apple, Microsoft, McAfee, Avast, etc, etc) all run programs on your computer as part of their software that automatically check for updates and installs them. If you don't like that, either don't use their software, or find a way to disable these automatic updates.
And as a result of these automatic updates, which most people don't disable, vendors do control your computer.
If you don't like that, don't buy their stuff. It's that easy. Use an OS that does put you , the User, in control.
In addition to releasing new versions of the system software at regular intervals, Apple also releases a stream of free software updates to enrich your computing experience. Mac OS X automatically checks weekly for software updates provided you have an internet connection.
geez - set up a blog !?!?!? For what ??? Because you don't understand what YOUR computer is doing ???
This is exactly the same as Microsoft's Windows Update - it's a process running on YOUR computer that checks for updates on a regular basis. This has nothing to do with some company hacking into your computer.
If you don't like this, you should be asking the question how to disable this auto update service, instead of complaining that some company is hacking into your computer.
Now, on Microsoft Windows it's simple enough to disable Auto Updates and check manually whenever you feel like it. I don't know about Macs.
Yes - companies may include stuff in these updates that you don't like, but it's still YOUR computer downloading and installing these updates. Learn how to take control of YOUR computer instead of complaining, Sir.

Well - the main question that comes to my mind is: how are you going to migrate users from iv4 to ipv6?
And I am not talking about geeks on/. and other network experts.
I am talking about regular users who have four or five devices at home that connect to a dsl router at home either with Ethernet cable and/or Wifi. All using ipv4.
How are you going to migrate all those users to ipv6?
Is somebody from the isp going to visit every customer and migrate them to ipv6? As in - the technician from the isp is going to change settings and/or install addtl. software on whatever OS and whatever device the user may have at home. I would think not...
So what's the plan for this?
And don't mention tunneling and dual stack and all that stuff. That's not gonna do it for regular users, who simply turn on their laptop, desktop and smartphone and they simply get connected to the internet using ipv4 dhcp from the dsl router.
What's the plan/strategy to migrate these users to ipv6?
And I am not talking about regular users in a derogatory way.

You can download Firefox for Android right here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/23.0/android/
Yahoo and Google have both publicly stated that they do NOT do this.
Yeah, they said that, all right. They also said that artificial sweeteners were safe, and WMDs were in Iraq, and Anna Nicole married for love!

Ok - so where is the shop that I can go to with my usb stick and a certain amount of cash and buy your game?
It doesn't exist. That's the problem.
You assume everybody has a credit card. Many people in the world do not. etc etc.
It's included in Slackware 14.0 and Slackware current.
But there is a bug in "htpasswd" (bug 54735), which has not been backported to the "2.4.x" branch yet.
Yeah - I saw that too. There is something fishy about this list. As if there is data missing.
Nothing there ...
I am using Firefox w/ NoScript. The so called "full table" is one big white space.
Stupid web developers. They can't even publish a simple list of countries without using Javascript.

This is how it can be done. A simple image.

A generation ago, dealing completely in cash was still realistic; at this point it's a little bit tough to imagine
Why? In the country where I live, we buy houses, cars, etc. with ... yes ... believe it or not ... Cash. Wads of Cash. Works very well.
No Cash, no deal. Very simple.
You - and I mean people in the West - let it come this far. You didn't resist.

And I thought that uefi was supposed to make this a better and more secure world.
Now this ...
And uefi can not boot iso9660 file systems. So no booting from a cd or dvd without jumping through hoops.
And uefi relies exclusively on the fat filesystem for its efi partition. That seems kinda backward to me.
Looks to me like we're losing functionality by using uefi.

The UEFI specification explicitly requires support for FAT32 for system partitions, and FAT12/FAT16 for removable media;
