Anyway, I think it's just peachy-keen that you "your-stereo-is-only-as-good-as-your-stylus" audiophiles now have a whole new technology to deceive yourself over. Gold plated cables, right?
My brother has an HD TV and an HD service, which he is always keen to show off. It's a source of endless amusement to keep asking him if we're watching an HD broadcast, and making him check on the guide. The best part is when he blames his 1 year old top end Sony HD TV for not being able to display the HD content properly. He's just convinced that there must be a better experience to be had, somehow, some way, if he can just get the cabling right.
And the best bit about your zero tolerance policy is that the fines from the strawmen with coprolalia and copropraxia will pretty much pay for all public services.
Do you think that you should be fined every single time you drive above the speed limit, even for a fraction of a second, even while overtaking? Welcome to the world of tomorrow. We might as well just install a coin operated Speed Meter in every vehicle.
If a candy wrapper blows out of your hand, have you committed a crime? Officer Orwell thinks you have, and he's got a record of it.
Hey, sweetie, can I get fries with that shake? Whoa, wait, you're 15? Then why are you dressed like... ah, never mind, here come the Feds to take me to AssSpelunker Penitentiary for soliciting from a minor.
The problem with universal surveillance is that it doesn't allow you to make any mistake, anywhere, ever, without suffering the consequences.
It's not the scramjet per se that's the big problem, it's putting it into an airframe and spaceframe that can carry engines capable of getting it up to scramjet speeds, plus passengers, plus fuel, that doesn't come apart at mach 10. I'll believe that when I see the CEO of Astroturf Inc (or whomever this article is about) put his family in one.
No, bottom of the food chain are fat nerdtards who get their chains jerked by irritated sales reps who have come to loathe them and their smug wheezy cluenessness. And then those nerdtards blog about the one piece of human interaction they had this month, and we waste our time reading it, which I guess makes us the bottom of the food chain.
And bringing a lawsuit (against one individual) is cheaper than turning on referrer logging (which solves the problem in perpetuity for all leeches)? What colour is the sky on your planet?

But can you discount the possibility that your program may already be running (or not running) on a quantum computer somewhere?

Well, they'll be ordinary people, so an ass pounding it is.

But then they all self destructed after 2 weeks.
> in 2 years they could have spent $5000 on content (early adopters are often collectors) in a format which they can no longer buy a player for.
And as a special DMCA bonus, if they try obtain the (illegal) tools to (legally) spaceshift it to another medium, they get to go to Federal prison.
ATTENTION SLASHDOT EDITURDS: Give the parent his own column.
Yup, people eager to line up to pay over the odds for flashy underpowered trinkets are the ideal market for the initial release of this technology.
It is very peculiar. I'm not sure what to make of that. I guess I'll do what I usually do, and wait for RMS to tell me what to think.
What are the DoD going to do; shoot me with a bullet impregnated with a mutagen?

And now what? You didn't do something really, really foolish, like believing the Slashdot headline before RTFAing, did you? Silly hobbit.
Rule #0: RTFA.
You're quite right: clumsy people, stroke victims and such like do deserve to be fined more. Excellent point, thanks for raising it.
Issues for Joe Sixpack.

Then use your local Freedom of Information laws (if any) to demand access to footage taken from cameras in public places.
I think a, but that's just because I read and comprehended the article.
The only reason for the existence of the second lawyer in the world was the existence of the first.
Nice Lexus. When did a professor's salary start paying for those?

So he'll have to pay his lawyer with... stock options?
OK, I will bring Captain Solo and the Wookie to you.

I'm not advocating an arms race, I'm advocating using referrer logging. The slippery slope is part of your deranged delusion, not mine.
