Any site that comes up with a list of a dozen or more sites that I have to permit requests (RequestPolicy) and scripts (NoScript) to function screams we're more interested in tracking you than providing a usable site. Next.
The question implies that EVs aren't successful, yet no one argues that hybrids aren't successful and EV sales are ahead of where hybrids were at a comparable point in their adoption. It takes a while to get people convinced to adopt something new.
It has to be a debit card; since Paypal stopped doing virtual cards, I don't know of any debit cards that do them any more. I have Discover and Citibank credit cards specifically because they do support them, though that doesn't help here.
And actually, they do brag about being PCI DSS certified in their "Security" section.
Which doesn't mitigate the fact that they are setting up a phishing gold mine: "click here to enter your debit card number and receive some free money!"
I specifically *avoid* the "News Feed" *because* it weeds stuff out. Maybe I'm weird, but I actually want to know what my friends have to say - that's *why* I'm on facebook. I don't want anyone else blocking stuff, especially when it does such a crappy job as facebook does, blocking way too much, yet not blocking the crap like "games people are playing" and "trending" that *facebook* sticks in there that I couldn't care less about.
And speaking of "anyone", one of the defenses against snooping through people's postings is "it's a computer not a person", meaning "no one will know what we find". When you get to a certain level of ai however, there's not a practical difference as far as the privacy issues people care about are concerned...
I've said this all along: if cell phones were as dangerous as people make them out to be, accident rates would have skyrocketed over the last couple of decades...
We have a certain amount of processing capability, and the danger isn't until you cross the threshold. Talking generally doesn't do it. Texting usually does, though mostly because it's an inherently more cumbersome user interface.
Yes, the times are different. That doesn't excuse JJ from turning Star Trek into a cheesy, unbelievable, action flick that will be forgotten tomorrow, instead of exploring today's issues that people will remember 50 years from now. He even started with a premise that had a huge amount of potential for providing the sort of moral dilemma X-Men has been good at delivering and throwing it away with a cardboard villain (the one who was the real villain). You can have good, believable, action with a good story too, they aren't inherently mutually exclusive. This movie doesn't have either. The only thing that saves it at all is the character interactions.
Bittorrent breaks the distribution problem, but doesn't help the money problem.
There are subscription trackers that can solve that problem as well. Many people use bittorrent because it's the easiest or only way to get content, not because they don't want to pay for it. There are those that don't of course, but they're not going to pay for it regardless, so they don't really count. Make it easy to get and easy to pay for and you'll get paid as much as, if not more than (no need to give others a cut), you will through other means.
Anyone making an extensive run from the law and leaving a trail will make the news, e.g. the "barefoot bandit" who was a nobody.
If I'd been handling the gurney when he "woke up" just in time to say "not in front of the press", I'd have turned him around and sent him back to his cell.
...it's always been broken doesn't mean it's not broken now. If it is used to block competition that is not actually stealing real, non-trivial, IP, it's broken.
The US has a lot of influence over the internet because it started here and a lot of the people that grew it and are highly influential are still around, but operation is international and no country "controls" it. The whole idea of "passing control" is bogus, since there's no control to start with.
Apache is the one in the wrong here, and they're the ones who should be getting excoriated over it. Do Not Track *should* be the default, and the browsers should be doing everything they can to minimize tracking. This may be redundant, but I don't think it can be repeated enough until they get it through their thick skulls.
Actually, I've been debating the question, as I all too often see chrome say "waiting for adblock extension...", however until ads stop being intrusive, disruptive and obnoxious, I will block them. Which effectively means forever.
Yes, they "lost revenue" when I bought legend of the seeker, sea patrol and a couple of other dvd sets after torrenting the series because it was the only way to get them (at the time) or just to see if they were any good... foot meet gun
A corollary to this is to make sure you have a local physical nameserver configured in all of your systems. Basically, go through a cold start power up sequence and figure out what you need in what order to get things back online. Testing the resulting procedure would be good idea too;-)
destroying their ability to connect with women, and therefore threatening the future of our entire species.
If the result is a population reduction, that can only be a good thing, for the short to medium term anyhow: there's too damn many people on the planet as it is...

It seems to work well for me...

The book is still on Barnes & Noble, who also uses standard epub format instead of a proprietary format, and a lot of their books don't use DRM...

The point being: support businesses doing it right...
When the entire ISP gets blacklisted for this or that reason, causing users to leave in droves, they'll see the error of their ways...
It's "rarely acknowledged" because it's just a given...
Free, trusted, certificates from https://www.startssl.com/ - no excuse at all for using self signed, at least until DANE/TLSA is deployed.

A right is something you can do, not something someone else does for you.
