I'm no expert, but i'd imagine any fool with the ability to fearlessly navigate to www.google.com
also would possess the ability to type in what they want, and strap in, as they prepare for to click
many a right arrow.
All non fools know where to go for bad things, like the neighborhoods most avoid,
it's always there despite policing.
It's like people just started realizing we're in the information age.
I was on the fence for a while here, alot of good points as usual,
But the split here, for me, is when this piece of hardware

I'd much rather have a man try to hack to my heart the hard way,
my odds are better, and in a separate vein entirely, what ever

Are these "trade secrets" THAT important?
From where i'm sitting, right's are not only being extended, old rights seem
to bring precedent for completely new rights, spidering throughout systems
which no "industry" should be involved in. Excuse the run-on sentences, i do that
when i get excited; I keep reading about the "Entertainment Industry" and find
myself thoroughly un-entertained.
Absolutely, I own a blu-ray player, and can't count the number of times
that i've downloaded a copy of a movie i own, that i can't watch because
the tv is tied up and my pc has no blu-ray player.
Cause in the future, who knows? I might decide to remove the locks from my house...

Nowadays information is unlike everything around seemingly, in overabundance,

What does he do when US Customs decides to take his computer for a year of analysis? How the hell does he get by the TSA? Or is he just one of many influential people who avoid traveling to the USA?
Considering who he is, he could probably go about anywhere provided he is physically able,
and, i seem to remember an article here in the past few days of him floating in a space sim of some sort.
Usually this executive treatment in society sincerely pisses me off, but all things considered, provided
he doesn't go senile in his old age, i can't say i mind it.
It's no different here, or anywhere else for that matter. Haven't read TFA yet, but i'll bet "It's not who you know,
it's who you blow" would be in the right direction, as long as folks are still putting their money where their mouth is.
Just wanted to reiterate what's been established in many of the above posts, in my case in particular,
i've purchased several hundred games from steam just last year alone, what does the new year bring?
Well, i suppose in any given week i only play PC games maybe 4 hours, but when i see these sales
on steam i see value: Games 80% off, Franchise bundles 75% off etc,
and i say to myself, "I can't NOT get that, i'll be playing that eventually, and i'll kick myself when i see the price".
Attention all forms of media: Show me VALUE and point of sale will be
a minor detail rather than an "obstacle to bypass or go around" as you so
often claim. Not everyone is rich, but, if all $60 dollar games had $60 dollars of worth,
Everyone would be broke, but we'd all be happy at the end of the day.
With all the above comments, red flag me as a terrorist or whatever,
but this country has been on the long road downhill for awhile. (US)
Should the protect-ip act get pushed through, we will start seeing all sorts of funky shit happen,
true in the fact that it will be what we've already seen, build a better lock, create better lockpicks but,
in this cycle every iteration gets nastier....
When you've got money to buy judges to protect you're "potential" profits.
Just ranting here, i'm only one person and have little say, i just like to see other countries stand in the interest of their people is all.

My opinion.
The base will build itself with corporate sponsorship. Problem solved.
And from what i hear, once we get down to that Goldium, they'll send us some credits
so we can purchase that beefy drill-head from the shop.

"...couldn't foresee a future in which film had no role in image capture at all"
Badum chhhhhh
Didn't i just update?
That'll be when the government steps in, when guns and ammunition are easily printed.
That is all.
As apposed to their black and white tablet? or is this a racist remark?
Throw in some meat and it'll be "perfect".
The mind of someone with nothing but time on their hands.
and a few Downings
They do already, that's where the warrantless wiretaps come in.
Drm just cost them a definite sale here, but i guess considering they're creating pirates, drm it is, record-breaking sales it is not.
