Renting in the traditional manner provides no protection against copying, and leaves them at a competitive disadvantage vs those who rent online. In a DRM free market those who chose to take their ball and go home would quickly be replaced by those who adapt to new realities. It's really not that difficult to understand.
No, without DRM, the "This rental is currently unavailable in your country" videos wouldn't be available anywhere.
If they don't make their videos available, they don't make any money. They're in business to make money, therefore they would make their videos available.
RTMPDump should be able to capture these streams. It's not exactly pretty, but it can be done.
However, there's not a lot on Hulu that's not already available on BT with ads ripped out. Personally, I wouldn't mind viewing Hulu's ads if I could do so from XBMC. But Hulu doesn't want my eyeballs apparently.
My comment was to the immediate parent who was upset about a clone of "Cannon Fodder" that used neither the name nor assets from the original game.
As for the fellow in TFA, he's at least using the name without permission, and possibly the artwork. So he's in a bad spot if someone chooses to protect the lemmings brand. I wouldn't be surprised if he got C&Dd over this.
Maybe my reading of it is wrong. I thought it would be an extra button you had to click in order to save, instead of automatically saving any and every time you click a link. If it's the latter, that is pretty nifty.
Looking at the extensions site, it looks like click to save doesn't display the page in firefox. I'd want both, show me the page and save it. Save all tabs could be very useful though.
That takes additional effort to save something for later. Failing to close a tab takes zero thought on my part, and negligible system resources. So I just let them pile up.
I like to think of each window with tabs as a stack. One page leads you to another, push another tab on the stack. When you're done with that task, pop the tab off the stack. Bookmarks are too permanent. I may never need that tab again. But I might, so I'm glad it's there when I get back to it. Lots of times I'll come to a stopping point and close a bunch of tabs, going back a week or more. Then I'll dig up some tab that I had entirely forgotten about, would not have cared enough to bookmark, but it serves as a good start for more browsing.
There's nothing illegal or unethical about making a clone of a popular game. As long as they don't use the same name, or any of the same art or code it's just fine.
I'm pretty sure whatever law enforcement officer said that didn't think anyone was dumb enough to think he was talking about speeders. Guess he was wrong.
And then the pressure builds up behind the top of the wellhead, forcing oil through the porous sandstone compromising the integrity of the sea bed possibly causing a complete rupture of the ocean floor leading to the entire contents of the oil deposit rushing into the gulf. There's a reason they quit trying to top kill it. There's a reason they removed the broken pipe at the wellhead allowing more oil to flow into the gulf. This is bad, but the alternative is far worse.

The implicit promise was that you could keep your FREEDOM to choose a plan you liked.
Most people never had the freedom to choose a plan they liked. Either take whatever crappy insurance your employer chooses or nothing at all.

The kill switch is not to protect against an attack from outside. It is intended to stop an uprising from within.

That's probably why he worked for Monsanto and not in academia.
Nah. It's been working out for me so far.

You can fast forward or skip through ads on Hulu if you've recorded the show with RTMPDump.

I find your mother and grandmother easy, fast, and efficient.
Sorry, I could not resist the setup.

10-25? Try 100-250. I do that with no problem at all, thanks to NoScript and Adblock.
Context matters.
The hole is leaking.

Did you learn about erosion in geology class?
It's not supposed to work. It's supposed to encourage legislators to pass laws that will allow them to fine or shut down websites they don't like.
Those posed little risk of causing strabismus. Mainly because there's no way anyone would use them for longer than 15 minutes.
That you think you can find a representative sampling of criminals in prison is even more stupid than the statement you are protesting.
Are those users really worth $3.72 each?
I'm pretty sure whatever law enforcement officer said that didn't think anyone was dumb enough to think he was talking about speeders. Guess he was wrong.
I really hope you're right, but I think you're neglecting the damage months of erosion at high pressure will do.
