The great majority of DRM schemes are simly trying to control playback, restricting access to content only, not preventing complete copies from being made.
I wouldn't put up with it. I can probably hear this thing too, and I'm over 30, my hearing is weird. Would you put up with lights designed to burn the skin of certain people if that was possible?
If you don't want people loitering, tell them to leave, if they don't that what the police are for. Another invention to let people avoid dealing with people.
You miss the point entirely. It has nothing to do with recording, its about distribution.
Furthermore before the FCC decided to get rid of Class D licenses, there were easy ways to be a broadcaster on the public airwaves(in the US at least).
It is a lot easier to do this then any previous methods of recording live broadcasts
You seem to think this is about putting information on a device
You mean "recording"? That's what you just said it was about.
It is about any body with a computer
And an internet connection.
being able to get an audience, to be able to broadcast any information they like without controls.
Uh, the internet's been around for a while now. And BBS's before the mainstream net. How about those WITHOUT a computer? Public access TV predates the internet.
It is about the people who create broadcasts.
How? Anyone with a will to publish in any medium will find a means. It isn't about people, its about a new jargon for "tape recording". Seriously, explain to me the difference between this and a radio tape recorder unit on a timer? A method I have used for 25 years.
In short, you have a small mind.
All the effort you put into a post and destroy your whole argument with a personal attack, well done.
Thing is, it's still just a scheduled task, nothing wonderous or fantastical in any way really. Delikver it to the iPod WITHOUT needing to plug it in to anything and you might have something slightly more novel there.
How about fishing then? Competative eating? That a sport? Notice I was replying to the assertion that anything is a sport simply because it has rules and metrics.
I've probably been gaming longer than you've been out of school.
I was turning over arcade machines before there was "competative gaming".
Fatal1ty is one of many, let me assure you. He's at the top of his game and good for him. I still don't think he's an athelete, neither am I. Even if I am probably faster than you.
I agree that sports are not meant to be careers but thats humanity for you.
And having played all manner of video games since the beginning of them all, I can assure you there's more to button mashing to beating a skilled opponent. Many tradition sports have great mental aspects to them. Baseball pitchers and batters are a good example. There's more there than thowing and hitting.

Let them go ahead and say the NSAs SE-Linux isnt trusted.
They could care less if you could copy it!

Massive bonuses for meeting release date (something like doubling your salary I hear) certainly can't be to blame.
Yes, but unfortunately, water soluble. Dry clean only.
1. Because they are stupid.
2. See item 1.

Yeah, its a shame it would stop being effective on them when they get to the age that you WANT them to leave the house.
You might be violating my grandfather's patent.

Model? What, like "Weird Science"?
Looks hard to wipe your ass with to me....
A model is NOT a functional engine.
"Dick Pound, head of the World Anti-Doping Agency"?????
Ah, but see there you are playing pool while engaged in competative drinking!
Played pool for almost 30 years now, and yes drinking and smoking is nearly a prereq, but its not a sport (more an art) and I'm not an athlete.
Sounds like a better test of his skill would be having him play on never-before-seem maps.
Having many cyclist and bike messenger friends I've heard far more than I ever wanted to about the Tour.
There were seasonal races around here by the messengers that were ridden while they drank. Athletes no, silly drunken free entertainent yes.

Golf is a game.
Bowling is a game.
Darts is combat training/a great way to lose money.
Snooker is an art form.
By that deinition competative crap-taking is a sport.
I would still say the participants aren't atheletes.
"exploiting the game"
Says it all.
Sounds like life to me.
This is nothing more than an electronic version of any extreme sports or x-games type of star, no big deal, nothing really unique.
Everything you touch on can be answered by looking at people like Tony Hawk.
