This needs to be held up on appeal to the 9th Circuit Court, and we can celebrate. Otherwise this is a smart District Court Judge's ruling that is only persuasive in other cases.
That is why something like this will almost never be appealed. The MPAA doesn't want to create any "bad law" for themselves.
And of course the winner can't "appeal" even if he wanted to create the precedent.
If you ask permission from the site to pen test, they are probably going to say no.
If you are a "so called" ethical hacker, whatever that means, and do it anyway, who is to say you don't find something valuable and keep it? May be you are only "ethical" when you don't find something valuable and then use the experience as free advertising.
If it wasn't for watching live sports, I would cut off cable right now. Unfortunately, live sports make that pretty difficult to do if you are a fan. I use a Centon cable card tuner with Windows Media Center. This is a pretty good setup for live TV, I just wish there were some other Windows Media Center Extenders besides an XBOX 360. That thing sucks so much power, I hate to leave it on all of the time.
WMC is a perfectly good DVR, but I find myself using XBMC along with Sickbeard to watch other TV shows. Sickbeard will pull the no commercial version of the show off of Usenet within 15 minutes of it being posted, and those scene guys post things pretty fast these days. I could usually watch Game of Thrones withing 30 of it airing on HBO.
I really wanted to not complain about the DRM

But after not being able to play a single player game for the last two hour because the servers are not working, that is pretty terrible for a launch day.
No matter how unbalanced things might be at the start, you have to be able to PLAY the game!
Sounds like a VPN proxy in the US would do a lot of the things you want. You can get pretty decent ones with very little drop in bandwidth and very little added latency for about $8/month.
I find the argument that using the internet is more dangerous than actual speak because more people can "hear" it a bit silly. These laws seem to have been created to prevent immanent violence based on racial hate on the street, but because the internet records information it is much easier to prosecute these type of "crimes".
Ah, so that is why this looks like it works so well the first time one a trip. I guess you would not get this neat of a video the next time though the same area.
Currently, law enforcement can track cell phones historically via cell site information. This can be useful in breaking an alibi defense, or loosely grouping a band of people together over time. This only problem with cell site information is the fact that cell site info is only recorded as the cell phone is being used. This new info has the potential to tell law enforcement where the phone, and likely the owner, was at times when the cell phone was not even in use.
As with all things cell phones, most states require a search warrant to use anything off of the phone.
Wrong. A school may forbid conduct that would "materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school.". See Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969)
Basic economics doesn't really have a model for an expensive product that is expensive to produce but trivial to copy. The only solutions are patents, copyrights and trademarks. That works, sort of, when the copier has an incentive not to make the copies. i.e. the threat of being sued. Against corporations, this prevents copying of formulas in drugs and other thing, like the original hand-held calculation, until the patent or whatever wears off. But in the movie or software business, the consumer is the one making the identical free copies and doesn't care about being sued. Your whole economic argument breaks down at that point because the rational consumer would rather have something for free than pay for it.
What is the alternative? Either fossil fuels or really expensive energy. I hope you like paying for those higher energy costs. And don't forget that those energy cost affect all manufactures as well, so those costs of your daily necessities will be passed on to you as well.

It is too bad they are retiring igoogle and google reader, the two things I have as my start pages because they work so well without interruptions.
But I guess those interruptions is how google makes money and they want to force users onto those other platforms.
Maybe it makes up the difference in some but not all situations.
And how may TOP GUN type dog fights have American jet fighters had in the bast 20 years?
This is American military thinking. Spend 100's of billions of dollars on something that used to be relevant.

Really? You have to really reach to find TV's over $1k. Maybe your one big screen is more, but how many TV's do you need over 50"?
He found me.

The nominal fine seems reasonable.
My Verizon Fios encrypts nothing that I subscribe to.
i.e., will those grandfathered unlimited plans still work on the LTE network?
As may have said, "don't blame the jury, you help pick it". Samsung should never have allowed this guy on the jury.

I still get them out to play a game or two of Boccie any maybe Frisbee golf, but those were the only games that were any good.

If fingerprints so inaccurate, doesn't that speak to the further need of DNA to identify criminals?
Pretty accurate. He doesn't say every arrest is guilty, only most. That sounds about right.
