I'm a Youtube content creator. I want people to download and share my Youtube content. Does this mean my right to share stuff should be trumped by a vague notion of piracy?
Interesting fact: The micro that runs the blinkenlights on the CSIRAC panel these days has more grunt than the original computer. The things you learn at Linuxconf...
FBI Agents in New Zealand are tourists subject to New Zealand law, not sworn officers of our law. They were told they couldn't have Dotcom's data until the judge had decided, so the difference here is that they are in contempt of court. The contents of that drive are Dotcoms personal data and while this may not mean much in the US it means a helluva lot more over here and foreigners aren't allowed to just run off with it.
But, uh, didn't the US invade their old buddy Iraq for 2 reasons: their oil, and they wanted better access to the Gulf? Count the military bases in the area, and follow the oil money. Oh, and remember the WMDs that weren't.
I think there are a lot of Americans wanting to overthrow an idiotic and oppressive regime with secret prisons and officially condoned torture. They won't have to go very far to do it.
What? We don't keep criminals out of the internet. We make them CEOs, pay them huge salaries and bonuses, and put them in charge of the companies running our communications infrastructure.
They've managed to fiddle the figures to show virtually no taxable profit, so fiddling them to show zero carbon emissions should be a piece of well-iced cake.
And strangely enough, who share the same planet with YOU.
Don't be silly. The experts in the field have found the problem. You're one of the people who denies the problem, and so are not actually in a position to even bother to understand what the problem is.
You too should be worried. Because something bigger than you feel comfortable thinking about may well be about to happen. I have given up trying to change people's minds, and I'm now putting my effort into being able to survive the consequences of the actions of people who think like you. Whatever the possibilities, I think mine is the more prudent course of action.
While it might not make these things, it can make the jigs or tools to do so if you really want to. My guess is you don't really want to that much:) However, in some parts of the world people will.
I've had medical shears taken from me by Australian customs (who are even worse arseholes than the TSA) despite the fact that they are (a) not sharp, and (b) classified as exempt medical equipment.
Basically, if they don't like the look of it, it doesn't go on the plane. You have no "rights" in this respect.
I'm amazed that so few Slashdotters are aware of the Avtobaza ELINT jam/control system that the Iranians now have. It was designed to do just this to drones, and it apparently works quite well.
but this kind of behaviour is not OK in New Zealand. What if someone from NZ snuck over and trademarked "Honour" (or "Honor" on your side of the pond)?
Frankly, I'm fed up with corporations behaving like this then bleating that they are only doing it to secure their profits which justifies anything as you know. Time they got taken down a peg or two.
Like the famous US maglev train, and the amazing US manned space fleet? We get to see who p0wns the top 10 supercomputers tomorrow. China has more engineering graduates than the US has graduates, and real currency to back them up with.

Reprap came first, mate. Makerbot is a spinoff from one of the core members which has now been taken over.
Good luck writing that software.
In NZ, where Kim Dotcom lives, you are allowed to circumvent digital locks on regional content if they prevent you viewing what you paid for,

They're sending drones?
Er, no. Why on Earth would they be?

Give 'em a few years and they'll be out of China, looking for cheaper labour in Africa or somesuch.

The nice thing about 3D printing technology is that you can now build 3D printers with it. See reprap.org
Fortunately, you can print a self-replicator with it.
