It's not your computer, it's your cell phone. That's more dangerous. If you saturate your cable modem, only your family notices. If you saturate LTE by disabling a cap, then your whole community notices!
Jailbreaking was cool when there was no Personal Hotspot mode on the iPhone... and other things Apple's App Store didn't allow at first. Thing is, what's in the Apple-disapproved and really useful file for the unofficial app stores to offer?
This war is one that might never end... there's two groups who seem to have equal claim on the same territory, and there's no good way to split it in half or otherwise avoid it... what are we in the USA supposed to do about it:? Doesn't seem like a problem we can solve right now.
Limits exist in the Verizon backbones, so they can't sell a truly unlimited plan and let everybody use it. This isn't the switched line network, it's the packet switched network...
The problem here is that parents/kids don't have enough authentication to block purchases being made by the wrong person... there really should be better security like face recognition to say "Uhm, kid, that costs money!" or "Parent, you can't spend your kid's money for them!"
You had an amazing winning streak. You see, there's a "broadcast flag" developed in the DVR software that is really the "can't copy flag" that would take away you ability to move that file around. So far, none of the programs you tried to move did that. Try that with a PPV movie, an HBO/Showtime or similar movie. Try that with HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher... it won't work.

1. Oops, we weren't expecting that... gotta unplug the service. 2. Okay, service is back but we're missing everything anybody asked be removed. 3. Oops, some of this stuff got removed right because there was something wrong in the request, we shouldn't have followed "all requests". 4. Now it works... and anybody who sues gets told "You should have gone to this URL to do that!"
And BTW, I've noticed on my local cable system, The Weather Channel has been replaced by the lamer WeatherNation... could you guys check your TVs to see how big a region that is?
Looks like the problem here is that most rural/farming users can't understand high-speed Internet, and don't buy what they can't understand. Therefore, it's just not worth dedicating the bandwidth to this project.
VCRs always needed to use "analog hole" methods and unencrypted signals.... DVRs were not allowed to move programs without permission. "Default allow" is common in the world right now, but there are some things you can watch through a TiVo that you can't record.
They seem to need more rights than they have in the current contracts at Dish Network... Dish is always the service getting into trouble, DirecTV always gets its contracts right.
Yeah, the problem here is that ATSC's module for mobile correction information doesn't exist on broadcast systems at this point. It's written, it's part of the spec, it just isn't being transmitted. If this was done right, Aereo could be obsoleted by an ATSC chip in most phones.
Yep, a 6-3 ruling means that 1/3 of the court thought Aereo was okay... this one may need to be looked into. At this hour, Aereo is still online in Boston....
Yep, that's their problem... even if they had the license from the local channels, the networks are claiming the local affiliates don't have the right to give that license.
You can't capture an over-the-air signal and relay it without permission. This is the legal mess Slingbox is in... they have to pay copyright holders in advance in order to exist, and that's part of what makes their devices expensive.
Uhm, that "landlord" will get the veil pierced... they also need to provide mail delivery and space in which to live in. Sorry, that argument doesn't work.
Yep... Aereo's model was "community antenna" which is a legal model that worked in the 70s, but eventually got converted into the satellite-fed service that we now call cable. I'm a subscriber to their Boston area service... but I guess this one was too good to be true.

Well, to interpret that correctly, it seems that Aereo brought an invalid argument to the SCotUS... shutting down Aereo doesn't end the technology, it just says they've gotta pay more and therefore charge more.
What they're essentially saying is that Aereo didn't have the contracts it took to run its service, therefore it's in copyright trouble. This doesn't ban the technology, it just says that Aereo's implementation under law wasn't quite right.

There hasn't been a legal NES game emulator yet.. Patents have lapsed, but nobody's done it without stealing code.

Please do so... we need this list!
Why do you need root access? What are you trying to install that isn't already there?

I'm not sure this is a bad thing... but if it is then it's too close to election day for the US House to get away with it.

I think "right to be forgotten" is in the face of my "right to recall what was said about you!"

Google's takedown request policy is...
1. Oops, we weren't expecting that... gotta unplug the service.
2. Okay, service is back but we're missing everything anybody asked be removed.

Okay, but don't forget to blame Big Weather!
