When there are only 3 or 4 trains a day, and passenger use of railway network is reduced to a single line going across the country operated by a single permanently broke company while government built a network of highways to support the greatest waste of energy ever seen by mankind -- sure, people "don't like" the alternative that no longer exists.
The rest of the world somehow managed to keep railway networks continuous expansion since the moment trains were invented.
While IP legal clusterfuck is a problem in itself, it's one of many, many results of puppeteering democracy. Fixing it (if it is possible at all) will not affect the underlying cause.
According to Muslim tradition a person is a Muslim if their father is a Muslim or if they ever repeat the 'call to prayer' (which is apparently a 'profession of faith'.)
A person is a dipshit if he acts within a human society in a confrontational or counterproductive manner, or if his Slashdot user name is HornWumpus.
I would know because by that definition I am a dipshit.
Trains are too Communist for US, they are large, expensive things that provide convenient, non-humiliating way of travel to people who are not "worth" it. Our poor people must only travel in beaten up cars and piss-stained buses!
Who does this target? I'm not aware of any illegal streaming services.
It's for being used in idiotic contrived ways -- such as by claiming that playing your backed up media from remote storage is "streaming", or to rack up charges that would apply if fair use defense fails (included a video into something? If you can't prove it's fair use to some retarded judge, you owe billions you don't have AND go to prison for five years), etc.
Why can't that beacon of democracy, the USA, manage to do it?
USA is a "beacon of democracy" due to complete subversion of democracy in it.
I would go further with that, and say that democracy is now completely worthless and its implementation should not be attempted or supported anywhere on its own, because US politicians demonstrated to the whole world how to effectively defeat it and build what amounts to a feudal society while keeping all attributes of democratic institutions and process. It's has an unfixable security bug with known exploit.
At best, "democracy" is now a minor, and optional, part that can be used to implement all kinds of societies -- oppressive or otherwise -- and people should stop sheepishly repeat US propaganda that promotes it as a cure for all social and economic ills.
Boies. Boise is the capital of Idaho that no one cares about, Bose is a company that makes shitty consumer audio products, Boies is a ridiculously expensive lawyer that has a tendency to jumps into every high-profile lawsuit and mess it up.
I insist on standardizing on the procedure that I have proposed for Microsoft -- a river of blood flowing between hills made of crushed bones of all employees, topped with skulls of executives.
How do you add memory to a large Java application (requiring >12GB memory), which can't be load-balanced without having significant downtime. To take a server down, pull it out the rack, add 8 DIMMs, get the server back in the rack, and boot it will take at least 15 minutes, but more likely about 30.
Process migration was implemented multiple times in all kinds of environments. It never took hold because all those efforts were far ahead of their time.
Then, almost a decade later, people started to use VMs as a replacement for that functionality, yet thanks to dominance of Windows-centric thinking in supposedly high-tech companies, no effort was made to continue on a well-developed but little used path of process-migration-based system/resource management.
So now, on top of accusation of hacking, people will suspect each other in trying to get freebies from game company by pretending to drag in more customers.
And I thought, atmosphere in some... communities could not get any more poisonous.
It would be development effort spent much better if people worked on network and storage migration within Linux instead of mucking with VMs to accomplish the same by fighting against the OS design.
Yes, I realize that nothing at all can be accomplished with Windows unless it's done by fighting tooth and nail against the way how OS works. But that's what you get when you are dealing with the greatest engineering failure of the 20th century. There is no need to drag this shit into better-designed systems.
Linux has scheduler for those purposes -- you can have one server running multiple services.
Of course, Windows admins (and only Windows admins) can not imagine a system that accomplishes that by the virtue of its design, and insist on stupid "appliance images", then squishing them into VMs to run under the second worst scheduler in the world with second worst memory management in the world (first place, obviously, is permanently occupied by Windows itself).
...And I will say that again -- Linux in a production environment does not belong in VM in the first place. VMs are a solution to uniquely Windows problems (lack of package management, broken backup procedures, inflexible storage, abysmal security), and it does not significantly exacerbate uniquely Windows deficiencies (bad scheduler, bad virtual memory, bad filesystem and storage management). While VMs are useful for development, "VMWare jockeys" (or whatever they should be called with this crap) should never be allowed to administer operating systems that they do not understand on the most fundamental level.

Netflix is popular, but almost all its traffic is last mile -- not the backbone ISPs whine about
Series of tubes don't work like that.

People don't like to ride Trains

This does not answer the question.

A more scary thought is :What if the trolls actually 100% believed in what they post?

Some people are stupid enough without any help from their peers.
You are a great example of this.
Oh, they just got rid of trains instead.

And how much of that "manufacturing" is actually reselling stuff built abroad to some other places abroad?
And nooses.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?

If "hay guyz, here is a 1G VM, you can run your crackz and Sony DoS there!" is cloud, I would rather be an end-user of my own dedicated servers.

There is a much better explanation -- immigrants would not expect that food as unhealthy as this would be allowed to be sold in the first place.
This also explains why foreign countries seem to have more corrupt governments -- in US all corruption is at the very top, and is perfectly legal.
This brings up some...
bad memory.
YEEEAAAHHHHH!
War crimes, not just wars. Aggressive war is a war crime. Support for one side of a massive conflict is not.
