Because all of the hyperbole and accusations of government over reach has not resulted in the government actually violating a person constitutional rights
Every single person likes it the way it is, except for the people who complain while paying the scalpers to do it again. That's what it boils down to.
The real "fix" would be an auction system where everyone puts in a bid for whatever they'd pay to see the show and the tickets are sold highest bid first when the bidding ends. Instead of paying the scalper $500 for your $60 ticket, you'd just pay $300 or whatever your bid ends up being. Scalpers could bid too, but then they're stuck with tickets that they might be able to unload on a latecomer who missed the bidding.
As it stands though, TicketMaster et al don't have to reprogram their sales system, the show can proclaim how awesome they are for selling out in a few minutes, the humans that manage to get tickets get them cheaper than the people who buy them from the scalpers, and the scalpers make tons of money.
I buy my music on CD, rip it to FLAC, add it to my library (QuodLibet FTW), then transcode the best tracks to mp3 for on-the-go playing in my car or at the gym.
I listen to what I want, when I want, without worrying about bandwidth or ads or monthly fees or internet access.
And that's how we know they're lying: there is no Cancel button. Personally, instead of being a dick waving contest I think they're just trying to save face after one of the engineers clicked the X to close the window despite it being widely reported that this will start the Windows 10 install.
I'm sure it will run safe and sound in the Azure Cloud where the federal government won't require a warrant to demand the data since it's being held by a third party.
in a way that someone walking by on the street wouldn't be able to see
Yet the government doesn't want people on the street to see the cameras, because while I am not permitted to have an expectation of not being filmed while walking on a public street, the government has an expectation of privacy for their cameras they've installed on that same public street.
I wonder what will happen when someone publishes a series of artistic photographs showing off Seattle street life and architecture, each one carefully framed to include one of these publicly posted cameras?
If the government believes that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy on these streets, then why do they seem quite angry when we suggest that the cameras they have installed on the streets also have no expectation of privacy?
These days it seems that scammers just take 4GB cards, reprogram them to report that they're 16GB and just let the thing fail when you fill it up. A lot more money to be made that way than the opposite.
That's the first lie right there. The first thing they do is fence off the leftmost lane to make the toll lane, which of course needs its own shoulder in case someone breaks down, so better fence off a second lane too. Now, the non paying traffic that was packed in a 4 lane freeway is absolutely crammed into two lanes, or at best mushed into three skinny lanes. Unless, of course, the driver pays to drive in that nice wide, fast lane.
But here's the difference between toll lanes and the internet: I get to choose if I want to suffer in the slow lane on the highway or pay the $1.30 to get in the toll lane.
On the internet, these decisions are made for me. For instance, maybe Bing paid $50 million so that anyone going to bing.com gets to take the fast lane. The choice of what quality I get isn't mine, either I go where Comcast tells me I can go quickly, or I go where I want and suffer.
I set up QubesOS on my home computer two weeks ago now, and the only complaint I have is that I had to read the instructions in order to get my usb wifi dongle working, then fudge my own script to get the browser to start automatically when I start the web-browsing VM/"Qube". Everything else I was doing in windows (email, web browsing, rss feeds) Just Worked. I even installed Steam and can play 2d games in a window with the keyboard and mouse.
Five servings of vegetables and three servings of felonies a day. I try hard to keep up with that stuff, but I end up sitting on my fat ass on slashdot all day stuffing my face with delivery fast food.
but about how the system is supposed to treat them.
Yes, it's how the system is supposed to treat them, but then they came up with the idea of using civil forfeiture to be a punishment without having to go through a trial.
Definitely do not share any URLs you want kept private via FB messages.
Don't share them on anything. It's not just facebook. You go to any forum and send a "private" message and only you, the recipient, and everyone with read access to the database can see it.
Eh his argument was way off base in the first place, since the whole point of civil asset forfeiture is that the people having their things taken are innocent.
Your guns will be forfeit, even if the government does not attempt to prove you committed a crime.

We're all playing tiddlywinks now!
I sentence you to 2d20 years in prison. The dice are tested to be fair.
A billing system that prevents fraud? I'm pretty damn impressed.

Tempting, but then you discover that someone has hacked it to read out the decimal value of kernel memory as its random number source.
Liar.
I've got a van strapped to my hip whenever I buckle up. Or is my hip strapped to the van?
But how else am i going to watch tits.avi.scr.js.jpg.exe.com if I don't click Allow?!
BTW, how many more versions of windows will continue to "hide extensions for known file types"?

That's probably why they aren't selling them in the US where people hate mosquitoes AND have money for TVs. And a legal system that frowns on fraud.

Just remember, the same Constitution-ignoring logic WILL be used when it's time to take the guns away.
Prepaid cards (and other debit cards) generally don't have the same protections that a credit card has. They'll probably be told the money's gone.
