Exactly! For counter examples, see worthless brainwashed drones like Copernicus and Galileo, who nobody even remembers any more because of their inability to produce any useful work.
No. There should be an exemption in the DMCA for Fair Use/Dealing, but there is not.
Your rights over the protected content are irrelevant; bypassing the protection mechanism is a crime of and by itself. This is just one of the many enduring horrors hidden in the pulsing pustule of pure poison that is the DMCA.
With all due respect, everyone who survives off of the charity of others is a basket case. Any inbred hillbilly hicks who are too cowed and spineless to demand fair prices for their time and effort, and are instead prepared to beg handouts from the state, are going to be boned when the zombies come.
I agree. I just scrape the ice off and drive off right away. Of course, then my windscreen fogs up on the inside due to chilling from the airflow over it, but fuck you or your kids if you happen to walk in front of me: better you die than I "waste time or gasoline", right?
... and in future, we can expect all hacks to be stealthy and more robust.
I'm sure it's working out for Microsoft financially, but they'll always lag behind the exploits while trying to secure the client or play whack-a-hack.

Here's an adage that I like to bear in mind:
If you choose to trust your client, then you are planning for failure, because any successful client application is going to get hacked.
I guess it's a simple economic calculation: by the time your client has a large enough userbase that someone takes the time to hack it, you've already made your profit. Screw anyone who buys it after the client is owned - they should have got in at launch.
That's a very unfair characterisation; there's much more to kdawson than just Microsoft bashing. Specifically, if you have some shitty snake oil vapourware that you'd like to peddle by shilling an advert thinly disguised as an article, he's your guy.
I think the conclusion that we can draw from this is that we'll be safe as long as we keep all 30-something-playing-20-something peroxide blondes with bad implants away from the LHC.
Mmm, quite. I groaned as soon as I saw his bootlicking of Scott McCloud, the unmarried-marriage-guidance-councilor of comicdom. Here's a hint: if you learn anything from statements of the bloody obvious, then you're in the wrong field to begin with.

Just so we're clear: you're renting the ability to play. When, not if, they go belly up, you've just got a hard drive full of random bits.
Don't get me wrong, I use and love Steam (it even works well through Wine on Ubuntu) but I'm under no illusions about ownership.
I'ma tell my crew about it tonight after we execute every single one of those goblin mu'fas, take all they bling, and use it to buy mad straps.
AROOOOOGA! Imagination detected in sector 7G. Initiate emergency synaptic lockdown.
I'm pretty sure that demanding 7 weeks off work because you got busted playing World of Warcraft in your cube would be a career limiting move.
If you think you can do a better job, do it.
I'd just like to thank you for specifying your units there.

Growing all the time though, both individually and collectively.

Social security and the welfare state are taking care of that pretty well though.
Mmm. What the XBox Ban-a-Thon shows us:

That's a ridiculously superficial assessment; there's also a lot more porn around.

Dude, it's right there. Of course, now we don't know how fast it's going.
Well, They say a lot of things. You shouldn't worry too much about Them; They're rather an eclectic group.
"it's" is a contraction of "it is", not a possessive.
Sorry, you were saying something funny about high school education?
Really? You have to ask. Let me draw your attention to...
Further comment would be superfluous.
Probably just trying to get some free publicity when California bans it.
It was rocket science 40 years ago. By now, it should be do-able by anyone who's seen Mythbusters.

I named my fists Kirk and... well, the second one doesn't need a name. Kirk wins. You want to go again? Kirk wins again.
