I dunno bro, torrents are pretty legit. Why get hung up on the legality of it? I've been torrenting for like half a decade now and have never been noticed.
And yeah they are related, since the options are not just buy blu-rays or pay for streaming, you can also download pixel perfect br rips. Sure you can be against piracy, but pretending that it doesn't exist is kind of retarded.
if they could create a 2D printer that wasn't a crotchety piece of shit, then people would be more excited. I don't look forward to trying to unjam some 3D printer nozzles full of melted plastic.
when we run out of IPv6 addresses? It's a serious and pressing concern, like what happens when Intel runs out of nanometres to cut off their processors. Fools, the lot of them!
But I can barely use a pen any more due to spending all my time at a keyboard. When I find myself in the rare situation of having to write things out manually, my hand is cramping after a page.
So in your world, two gay people in a committed relationship wanting the same rights as a straight couple is equivalent to incest, marriage for green cards etc? What's next, marrying our pet dogs, you might ask? Get the fuck out of here.
Oh boy I can't wait to rip all my... oh wait I haven't used the dvd drive on my computer in like five years. I don't actually think it's connected because I needed the power connector for another hard drive.
That is basically dropping the charges. You can't go back to 1952 and make the case disappear, but they can say that they regret what happened. It's entirely symbolic anyway since he's long since dead, and would be even if he had lived to old age.
Although I seem to recall you needed a violent civil war to end slavery in your country, whereas we ended it in ours and our colonies with a couple acts of parliament. But please do lecture me about your country's stellar history of cultural integration.
I've been living in this flat for about four years now, I got a couple packs of energy efficient bulbs for free not long after I moved in from my electricity company. I'm pretty sure I haven't had to change a bulb in that whole span. In the future I think that changing a lightbulb will be one of those hilarious things people used to do in olden times like rewinding a tape or using a floppy disc.
Are you quite sure you don't have a monarchy, or at least a ruling class? For example if Hillary Clinton had won the Democratic primary and won the 2008 election, the last 20 years of the presidency would have been held by just two families.
And that's just the political ruling class, not even going into the stupendously enormous wealth gap and the power the 1% and 0.1% wield. Citizen's United means that a billionaire holds a hell of a lot more power than your one vote and 10 dollar donation. I would posit that you do have a ruling class, you just don't dress them up in robes and a crown.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they think. It's somehow our fault that they spent the time we were industrialising, sitting growing rice in paddy fields. They for some reason must now repeat all our mistakes like overuse of coal and dirty industries and every middle class family owning multiple cars... because?
Right cos those were soooooo effective at stopping anyone like the NSA tapping every wire ever. Or is this one of these things where it's ok if a government organisation does it, like how the US army can't commit terrorism because they are the "good guys"?
I pirate because the uploaders provide an infinitely better service than the cable companies or even Hulu/Netflix etc. I get DRM/region free ad-free files that work on any device, at great resolutions and quality, barely minutes after the episode has aired.
Why the hell would I go back to their terrible services when that option is open to me? Now yes i'm not paying for the content, but often that's not an option anyway, (see The Oatmeal's comic on trying to buy Game of Thrones online). As has been voiced a million times, if these companies fired all their old idiot suits and brought out a 'Steam for movies/tv' that had all the added value that Steam brings it would take off like a rocket.

Call me crazy, but why not just build tornado-proof houses instead?
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

What is bittorent? You don't need a blistering fast connection at all.

That's a good point, but why bother when the refining infrastructure is already existing, and transportation of oil is so cheap.

Everyone knows the only true OS is Windows 3.1, I see no reason to upgrade from that.

Region lock multiplayer games so I don't have to play with Russians on EU West servers.

As the owner of a luxuriant chest pelt but thinning head of hair, wake me up when they can tell your body to move hair production to different areas.

Besides, according to 4chan, the Pentagon is already all over this shit: http://i.imgur.com/pjRJSe0.jpg

They also commissioned a study on whether water is wet and if the pope is Catholic.
I heard the purchase price was $247 million, but he bought $3 million worth of pens to qualify for super saver delivery.
