Firstly, I'd like to note that I'm not placing blame with any particular party or saying that this was definitely an incident where the plane was shot down.
With that said, the plane was in the older Malysia Airlines livery, which has the bottom of the fuselage and engine nacelles painted grey. Perhaps this could contribute to it being mistaken for a military transport by inexperienced or trigger-happy forces, as it would be a similar color to that used on those transports.
I hope the truth of this incident can be found without politics getting in the way on every side. The crew and passengers deserve it.
But because you have castigated and caused to be fired ("resigned", my ass) someone because they dared to express themselves via the previously accepted political process by which people in a democratic society decide controversial issues like this.
Which is democratic process as well. People have every right to participate in the democratic process, just as they have the right to free speech. What they don't have is freedom from the consequences of those actions or that speech. If people, corporations, and organizations refuse to associate with you because of that, that's also democracy at work.
Due to the use of the Creative Commons Attribution license, I'd imagine Sony is quite within their rights to use the movie for their demo. So no, Sony wouldn't be infringing on anything merely by using the video.
Arguably the best measurement is Quality of Life Years (QUALYs). My point being that both quality of life and length of life matter and go hand in hand.
That isn't teaching them anything, because they already would accept them by definition. Also, there's probably much more benefit from being given a flash drive with TOR than being taught not to accept flash drives for multiple reasons (the latter doesn't happen too often, flash drive with program seems much more appealing than a lecture, etc).
3. The ATF is a bunch of ignorant buffoons. Getting up in arms over some obscure thing like 3D printing isn't going to make anyone safer. But their response seems to suggest that the reason they aren't meddling is that the technology isn't reliable enough over time! They could at least be consistent.
Couldn't they just do what some apps already do and require the user to log in to use the service? If it has to have some basic free functionality, they could just make it a viewer for office documents (after all, you can already do that for free).
It's not as if Microsoft isn't popular enough that people would know to go to their website even if they can't link to it.

I assume it was flying away from the missile
That seems like an unlikely assumption given that the crew saw the missile from the cockpit.

"or are consumers going to just get screwed in the long run" That depends. Do the built-in dildos have a monthly fee?

The airlines or even the crew could still enforce these rules if they want to, which wouldn't surprise me.

Exactly. A fact unrelated to the issue at hand that sheds a negative light on the source is still an ad hominem.
Joswiak? Sounds like Jobs + Wozniak.
