The error is that the ticket vendors want to sell them at below-market prices, but not have resellers buy them. The problem is they want to use force against the resellers, even though the resellers are acquiring the tickets through voluntary exchange. This is an unjust use of force.
Yes, I realize that. I was merely confirming that the Kinect driver does NOT use encryption, to further support his point that if Microsoft had wanted to use encryption, it would have, and that clearly they never meant to lock it down. So instead of assuming that I was a retard, you ought to try following the messages and seeing how my reply was actually providing useful information, along with the source code to back it up (citations).
Interesting how it's now great news for a company to not be a fucking asshole and prevent owners of the devices from doing whatever they want with them. Used to, this was just considered what any normal company would allow.
Say what you want about the morality of using file sharing services to share copyrighted material, if Facebook wishes to become a player in the email market, they cannot block content.
They already are a player in the email market. Besides, they're trafficking copyrighted content constantly! As in, all the photos, messages, etc. written by users.
Even better: A Sony Walkman can record and play music in realtime, fast-forward and rewind, and store an hour's worth of music. These tasks cannot be done by the human brain, therefore a Sony Walkman has more power than the human brain.
That would be like me calling up my local lawnmower store looking for a lawnmower - and getting angry that they recommended I by a lawnmower that they sold, and I should buy it from them!
Yeah, but I'm not buying anything from Google; they offer the search for free, so they have no justification for biasing their search results!
I'm still not imagining how this helps. OK, so you've got let's say 64 GB of Flash memory, and say 1 GB of RAM. You don't want to just map all this into each user process, especially not writable, otherwise you'll have corruption. So you only map things in when the process opens the file, where you give it a pointer that it is mmap()'d to. And you can do this with a 32-bit address space as well, as long as the process doesn't open more than a couple of GB of memory-mapped files at once. That doesn't seem like a notable limitation; if it's a media file, it's going to be using normal I/O calls for streaming, not reading it all from memory. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems a 32-bit CPU with some kind of memory controller could map files just as well.
Check this out... I search for "bing", and what do I get? A big Google link to the left of the search box. It's even above the search results, in special colors and everything. Talk about biasing the results in favor of Google services! Even worse, the tile bar... TITLE BAR of the window says "Google Search", even though I searched for Bing! The nerve of these people. The DOJ should come down HARD on them for this clear monopoly abuse.
You can do all this with a 32-bit address space as well. The only thing that must be swapped is the data. All the code can have its own addresses, unless you plan on having more than 4GB of application code on your mobile device. 4GB should be enough for anybody...
I just want to know when Linux is going to offer similar power for its cat utility. I hate having to view ASCII text files without the protection of a sandbox. The slowdown would also make them easier to read as they scroll by. Come on Linux, catch up with the competition!
"Deploying this statute to combat online copyright infringement seems almost like using a bunker-busting cluster bomb, when what you need is a precision-guided missile."
...targeted at the disgusting perversions made to copyright and patent law since they were created. But such an event is purely imaginary, just like the property the laws supposedly create.
Yeah, they're mindless fucking sheep because they were never informed about what juries are. Why would someone mindful automatically know that, no, unlike what the judge said, you can vote to acquit if you feel that serves justice, that you never have to explain your vote, and that you cannot be prosecuted for such a vote? If you haven't studied the history of the jury, you wouldn't know this, and as far as you'd know, doing anything but judging the facts would land you in jail. But no, according to you, that's being a sheep. It's attitudes like yours that continue people being uninformed, because you write them off as being sheep rather than potential students as to what a jury is really for.
Also doesn't appease the God of Sacrifice. Even if we solved the problem called global warming, we'd still have to find a way to make big sacrifices while we had renewable oil. That we could live comfortably is a terrible thought.

How many blog postings to Slashdot before we realize that it's just a glorified blog, with stupid attempts at wit that are just annoying?

I just took a quick look at the driver's code code and there's no sign of any decryption.

You don't have a definite backup until you've destroyed the original and been able to successfully restore from the backup.
Kill the bad laws that threaten property law (real property, physical things you can hold), not the lawyers.
Man, quantum mechanics even has its own version of the usual correlation is not causation.

Not sure whether your cut off post was intentional, but it makes the point nonetheless.

Unfortunately the people above do the same with their liquids, which trumps your gasses.
Wow, I concede to your good points, particularly educating oneself before serving.
And it's the jury's job to acquit if the law is being abused. I highly recommend the book Jury Nullification, which covers the history of juries.

Hmmm, I seem to remember this technology from years ago...
And if imaginary property existed in the physical world, it would actually be possible to steal it.
Error: radio does not work unless both hands are on steering wheel.
Solution: keep both hands on steering wheel while reaching for radio controls.
