It's also lengthy and hard to read so the user won't read it, and the publisher can include objectionable terms deep in the HIGHLY UNREADABLE ALL CAPS SECTION, so the user will accept them unread!
This is why DIY PVRs will be the best choice. A home-built recorder running on open source (GPL preferred) on one's own PC, with tv listings pulled from a reliable, public source, and with NO spying of any kind, will be the answer. I know there are various projects like that out there on sourceforge etc. - perhaps someone can create a nice component-shaped device to do all this?
It is about liberty. CBDTPA, SSSCA, and others are affronts to our freedom. There is no compromise that would make them any less palatable. Just say no!
In the event you do not wish to accept the reduction, you must advise the Human Resources Department immediately. The Company will then take the appropriate action, which may include the elimination of your position or the termination of your employment."
Divine employees, read this carefully. It means that you'll be fired if you don't accept the paycut - which means, at a minimum, that you'll collect unemployment. If you refuse the paycut you are NOT quitting.
I switched to Mozilla a couple of weeks ago (which sucked ass when I tried it before) and love it. Better than IE or old netscape, mainly because of one killer feature: popup killer. Now I would love to try other stuff that is as reliable and easy to install - GIMP and OpenOffice would be great if they work as advertised, as would a reliable, working, non-shitty, ad-free Gnutella client - so for me this cd would be quite useful, if shipped for win and mac os 9.
But let me reiterate what others have said: it must be EASY to use. No editing text to config. No compiling. No weird choices between tools nobody outside the free software world has ever heard of. Just a small, coherent set of useful applications that just happen to be free. Do that and you'll be amazed at how many people use and distribute this.
Parts of Nevada are quite beautiful. I go to Black Rock City every year, and enjoy views like this and this and this (the last is Pyramid Lake, about 50 miles south of BRC). Anyone who claims that Nevada is a wasteland is just fucking wrong - it's well worth the visit for the scenery alone.
Liability for software "security defects." Some court will find that this includes defeated copy protection. Then the class action lawyers will strike.
Flooding tech with lawyers at every stage would be really really bad. Just wait until Milberg, Weiss is hammering the Apache project because someone handed out some warez using it.
Schneier is smart and knows a lot, but this is a stupid idea.
Encrypted random data won't compress. So if you wanted to send fake ciphertext, you would have to somehow render it uncompressible - or, better, encrypt a bunch of random garbage.

Except for Interstate 238, which is an abomination before God and man.
I haven't been to Climax (MI) but IIRC their high school football team is called the Trojans.
Seriously. I bet this is just a MPAA stooge feeding "news" to the increasingly desperate Drudge.
c'mon, this has got to be a red-meat article thrown out to get everyone angry, posting, and using up pageviews!

You can buy region free players at places like DVD City.
I'm no Replay hacker but you'd think there could be some way to prevent the release from being loaded.

I bet we see that in the Oracle and Sun ads within a week.
seriously, NSCP is pretty fuckin' buggy. switch to mozilla, it works well now.

that this is a really crappy article. Do not read this article!
is religious spam from a porn site!
You have lots of friends. Fans, too. Maybe your friends and fans just practice safe email?

i love it. who would have thought that the "dying" troll would live so long?
What are you talking about? There are tons of small banks, as well as big banks. Unless you're not in the US.
