... take someone's copyrighted work without paying them for it. Or, abet the taking and distribution of copyrighted work. It's really very simple and has nothing at all to do with freedom of speech. And someone posting on the internet that it DOES have something to do with freedom of speech or otherwise rationalize that it's o.k. to take copyright work without paying for it, doesn't make it so. And if you DO think like that, then I hope you enjoy your date with that French model you met on the internet.
N.O.T. All software has vulnerabilities. No system if safe from hacking and attack, especially spear-fishing. So, it's news every time some dipswitch downloads pr0n and gets infected? Or opens an unsolicited email attachment and installs malware? Please... post something that's actually news and stop the "bashing every company just because" merry-go-round. Who's next to be bashed incessantly?
There's no software available that will protect against the weak link in the chain... the nut at the keyboard. I've been using MSSE for years and have yet to get a single infection. I'm sure I'll slip some day but so far it's been a good backstop for me.
You couldn't be more wrong. In the USA pirating movies and music from the internet is considered no different than if you walked out of a brick and mortar store with the DVD or CD without paying for it.
...... does not confer upon anyone else a "right" to use it to communicate with me. No one has a right to force their communication on me using MY PERSONAL PROPERTY. Likewise the fact that I own a parcel of land with my dwelling on it does not confer upon anyone else a "right" to place signs on it for the purposes of communicating with me.
The tin foil hat concession in the room when these people rant about privacy. You should realize they're all in their own little tizzy because they can't stand being out of the limelight and for the sake of income. No drama = no $$.
That should read "which Android version is the one their device will run or has been allowed to upgrade to." It's not like anyone with an android phone running Froyo can arbitrarily decide to upgrade to Jelly Bean.
... the U.S. Post office retaining copies of all letters sent by USPS for two years. Tin foil hat theories aside, it's not workable or affordable. It's a poorly thought out knee-jerk reaction.
Talk about grasping at straws. Oh wait... no... just ambulance chasers keeping the $$'s flowing. In other news everyone on the Jury has bought either a Samsung or Apple product or product containing a Samsung part at some point in their life and obviously tainted the jury.
And I load the OS (Windows 8 Pro) clean... no bloatware no crapware. But there's no way the average computer user will do anything but buy off-the-shelf machines loaded with bloat/crapware.
... how much Samsung stock the judge in this case owns. Is the UK legal system so under-worked that this judge has nothing more important to do than grade apologies?
... NOT. All the fuss about zero day exploits and the only people who ever use them are the ones who find them and the engineers who plug the holes. No big take-down of masses of people, no crippled companies, no nothing.
... and the sky is NOT blue, water is NOT wet, the bear does NOT poop in the woods, and the Pope does NOT pray. In other news... juvenile ranting fanboys and haters invade/. and make intelligent conversation obsolete as they derail threads with innuendo, fantasy and opinion not backed up by facts or references.
... are just looking for an opportunity to cause drama and get their 15 minutes of fame. People like her would also be first in line to sue if a terrorist took down the plane her daughter was on claiming that TSA security wasn't intrusive enough.
Internet access, like transportation and cell phone service and cable or satellite TV and food and shelter, are commodities we purchase. While they may all be necessities in many people's minds they simply are NOT human rights. A human right is something you're born with and no one can take away. Someone may "violate" your human rights but they can't take them away and human rights cannot be bought and/or sold.
They both grow in dirt (organic and conventional), they are the same plant, they don't, on balance, have more or less of anything than the rest of the fruits and vegetables. Bottom line if you want to pay 3X as much for your food buy organic. If you just want to eat and get the most nutrition for your $$, buy conventional. And don't forget, we can't feed the world's population organically. Can't be done!
This is just another call from people with no imagination but a burning desire to try to profit from those who CAN innovate by copying other people's ideas and tweaking them for a market. The solution is to pay licensing fees instead of litigating, but the lawyers don't make as much from that strategy.
