Everyone should watch this movie just as an act of patriotism.
I concede that patriotic was not the best word choice for what I meant. What I actually intended was broader, the ideals of freedom shared by many free countries in the world. To me, seeing this movie as a statement of support for its release in spite of the intimidating threats and actions aimed at squelching it is valid.
The things you mentioned are not mutually exclusive with supporting freedom of speech.
I do find freedom of speech worthy of support. If you find that problematic, oh well.
It irks me to no end that my comment two days ago on Slashdot (below) about wanting to see this movie as a show of support for the USA and freedom of speech was "moderated" down to insincere flamebait and trolling. Well, I don't seem to be the only who feels this way, you pompous jerks, as evidenced by the throngs of people going to see the movie for the exact same reason!
So go ahead and repress my freedom of speech again. Moderate *this*.

It's utter B.S. that my comment has been marked as flamebait, which means it was not sincere. You may not agree with me, but I am completely sincere in my feeling of wanting to support this movie just on the basis of it being a target of repression of freedom of speech.

It's complete B.S. that my comment has been moderated to flamebait, which indicates it is not sincere. You may disagree with me, but I stand by my feeling of wanting to watch this movie out of solidarity with Sony and support of freedom of speech and expression.
I guess freedom of speech has been curtailed here as well.:/
Europe, Japan, Korea, etc passed the USA for most tech a while ago. The USA is no longer the latest and greatest but instead go for cheap knock offs.
Generations of paying people bottom dollar for hard work and top dollar for doing nothing.
Asia, sure, could be. But no way is Europe ahead of the US in tech. There was an Internet tech conference in Paris this year where they had a session that was literally just telling stories about what those crazy amazing businesses in California were doing with the Internet. Like paying with PayPal at the cashier!!! ATM's that email you!
They even already have customer traffic profiling in Europe (which is usually a year or two, at least, behind the US in tech). https://business.styloola.com/
"While we do hope to see the release of The Interview across the globe, for the time being this is limited to the USA only. You can only purchase the movie with a US card, and can only stream it from a US IP address."
Grrr. How will the North Koreans see it and get angrier?
Yeah, until the AI mistakes my home-designed gun-shaped sex toy for a real gun, and I can't get off. Don't judge me! Different strokes for different folks.
Block all home-made designs and do-it-yourself makers?! That's where the potential of 3d printing revolution lies!!! Required "signed" documents only and you cripple that.
Besides, we've seen these signature certificates compromised time and time again (SSL, code signing, et al.).
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that reaction. Unintelligible drivel!
Here are my favorite excerpts: -- "There is nothing particularly new in Jonathan's post and I thank him for facilitating a conversation [about nothing particularly new apparently]." -- "Image security is of the upmost importance to us. For these reasons, we've [reached] many of the same conclusions [that there is no image security]." -- "v1 is not v2. v1 has a flawed design. we have a draft for v2. v2 will be better. v2 will be much more shiny. when you have v2, you will forget how insecure v1 is. until then, we recommend you use v2, because v1 is not secure. v2 is still in draft." -- "THESE AREN'T THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR."
IIRC, it didn't jam the radio signal at all. The in-house wi-fi system simply issued packets under false pretenses, causing clients of nearby hotspots to lose connection to those hotspots.
Exactly: "[They] used features of a Wi-Fi monitoring system at the Gaylord Opryland to contain and/or de-
authenticate guest-created Wi-Fi hotspot access points in the conference facilities. In some cases, employees
sent de-authentication packets to the targeted access points, which would dissociate consumers’ devices from
their own Wi-Fi hotspot access points and, thus, disrupt consumers’ current Wi-Fi transmissions and prevent
future transmissions."
If you just rigged up a box full of AP's and clients that are set to maintain a high-capacity, high-availability connection to each other at all costs, wheeled it in like it was a cart of otherwise normal trade-show gear, then fired it up and let it catch the attention of that disrupt-all-competitors system, it would basically be a massive packet sink and would bring down the disruptive wi-fi system.
A few things are worth noting about the original case. Marriott agreed in a plea deal to have improperly used "containment features" of FCC-licensed equipment to block Wi-Fi hotspots, and this was performed in conference facilities, not the hotel.
https://www.fcc.gov/document/m...:
"Marriott Hotel Services, Inc., will pay
$600,000 to resolve a Federal Communications Commission investigation into whether Marriott intentionally
interfered with and disabled Wi-Fi networks established by consumers in the conference facilities of the
Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, in violation of Section 333 of the
Communications Act. The FCC Enforcement Bureau’s investigation revealed that Marriott employees had
used containment features of a Wi-Fi monitoring system at the Gaylord Opryland to prevent individuals from
connecting to the Internet via their own personal Wi-Fi networks, while at the same time charging consumers,
small businesses, and exhibitors as much as $1,000 per device to access Marriott’s Wi-Fi network."
Organize into folders chronologically first! Add other keywords to the folder names and you can search on those to dynamically extract groups.
But trying to pre-group in advance will cause you nothing but headaches... Picture on a trip with grandma in Hawaii. Does this go in "trips" or "grandma"?
No, it goes in: "2013-03-04 trip to hawaii with grandma".
Good advice, but I would tweak it thusly to trim the unnecessary text file: Since you are organizing chronologically, you probably have folder names that are dates... So just add the location/event/people tags to the folder name. E.g.: 2014-04-03 Birthday with Grandma in Las Vegas. =)

If only this technology had existed to create bowls of green-only M&M's when I was a teenager, maybe I could've gotten laid!
One practical application of the sorter could be creating a bowl of M&Ms — with all the brown ones removed.
Wow, and to think that until I read this line, I was thinking to myself, "How useless."
He not only lives there, he's also the president..
He does have access to Slashdot, so either that or he's part of the hacker corps. =)

I live in North Korea you insensitive clod!
Playing along, you could still go see it as a show of resistance to N Korea's neurotic, obsessive insecurity.

Oh? Please show me a country in western Europe where I can order online and pickup in the store!

Yeah, because being a farmer is such a cushy gig.
Downtown Paris has maximum speeds ~800Kbps in parts!
Hello Paris? This is 1997. We'd like our ADSL back.
