have you considered the possibility that you're simply an unpleasant person? certain types of people can illicit some pretty extreme reactions, and if you speak the same way you've typed throughout this thread, i can certainly understand why someone would suspect it was impossible to reason with you.
yeah, it's sounding more and more like license plates aren't the way to go if this tech is going to be ubiquitous rather than banned. something's gotta give.
a fellow once gave me some good advice/insight. he was in a band from canada that had just totaled their van (because of some asshat - legit not this band's fault) so i would imagine that HE would be the guy freaking out. but we talked for awhile and he pulled my neuroses from me like a surgeon and then said "a lot of poeple complain about the cities they live in, but really, their lives are stuck in a rut. it usually has nothing to do with the cities they live in, but the patterns they've established for themselves."
goddamnit some kid in a canadian grind band with a wicked mullet just laid it out straight.
i got a kindle paperwhite a couple years ago and it's literally seen daily use since then. i also bought and sold a tablet during this time. there are lots of hacks for kindles (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=150) including third party reading software. add to that calibre's ability to do whatever you want with an ebook file, and you're good to go.

yes, this. if open sharing became normalized, there would certainly be a backlash from ISPs, MPAA, NSA, etc., but there would be no way they could actually, successfully atomize IPs.
i share my AP and i'm proud!
false conflation. sharing wifi used to be fairly common. i regularly connected to some neighbor's open network called "fuckin_theif" and i shared mine when i could afford to pay an ISP. it's the threat of legal action, not selfishness, that's changed the culture.

Seriously, HBO's model is so fucking stupid. It's like they hate money.
That smog is from manufacturing your dumb bullshit. God forbid the smog you caused comes near you.
It really is such a boring show. It's depressing that most peoples' idea of fantasy is the same old same old that's been boring for at least 50 years.

the word you're looking for is "ideology." it can be pretty ugly no matter where it rears its head, not just when it threatens your worldview.
flip phones don't look nearly as tool-ish as a fucking 7" tablet against your head.
when CMU isn't busy deanonymizing tor hidden services, they're publishing nonsense studies. that place is the lamest thing about pittsburgh.

this analogy doesn't work because U2 always sucked.
That makes sense. I could have sworn I had installed CPU-Z. I guess I did.
