All you know about her, or any of these people is what you see on the TV. Calling anybody an idiot based on such filtered information is ludicrous. She's playing a role, and considering her Q rating, she doesn't seem to be doing too badly. Your bandwagon is no different than the conservatives'.
Oops, got it sideways... What I am saying is that the store/dealer answers to corporate, not the customer/user.. That should simplify the matter. The company will blame lost sales on "piracy" or something.
Sure would be nice(latency issues aside), but it's probably why various governments are outlawing open sharing of wireless signals. It's "stealing" business. Gotta cover all the bases.
You are not the customer. The traders and shareholders are. They didn't buy the company to provide a service. They bought to make a fast buck.. Customer "service" is completely incidental.
It doesn't matter how laughable the idea is. The problem is the psychology behind the belief that it's a good idea to do these things and grant even more authority to the state. Forget the logic of any proposal like this and study the mental condition of the subject.
In many towns monopoly contracts are given to single companies, just like a cable franchise. And soon, if not sooner they will be required to retain data for whatever authority that demands it. The collusion and cross ownership in stock portfolios is extensive enough to consider the whole country under one service. You can't even buy laundry detergent without throwing a few dollars their way. It all goes into the general fund we call Wall Street..
How do you propose we route around a monopoly service provider that restricts your access? We might not need old school distributors, but we definitely need a new school ISP that won't act as their agent. I don't see that happening in the near future..
FTFA - While people have no legal obligation to yield to radar trucks, he said that he felt the amateurs should have given way as a courtesy... it's just polite..
We do encourage that, don't we? Or is it fuck everybody?
What difference with this make? If security actually becomes effective, it will be outlawed. You already have mandated back doors in much of your hardware.. It won't be much longer until you will be required to use a state issued ID card to use a computer, especially on the net.. (See Burma and Thailand)
Like those who enjoy clean air and water, there are some of us who also enjoy peace and quiet. We don't want to hear the constant buzzing and crackling across the insulators as the humidity climbs. Ol' city yuppie's just gonna have to buy a smaller TV
You might want to think twice.. These things have lasers in them and they could instantly vaporize the entire building if they can't connect to the mothership. Remember what happened when Veeger couldn't find the whales...

That "idiocy" put over 12 million into her bank account
I wonder who filed the DMCA takedown on that..

So then, I ask again.. How do you work around it? How do you render them ineffective?

Computer skills obviously... Don't they have a PhD in Internet Shopping?
Using a forum as a call to arms and the blood of tyrants is a pretty good place to start.. We can move to the next level at the appropriate time..
Because WE declare it so... That is all that is required..
Impossible
"For an hour", eh? I'll count that as a small "embellishment".. And you might consider buying a new watch :-)

Say whaa? Yeah, I guess with the scores always so low, you gotta find something to hype.. I think they should light the ball on fire...
Nothing good can come from it

Do they have any of Ozzy's old DNA?
If they didn't cremate him..
Well, we have no idea if making a big deal out of it keeps it from becoming law.
