HAW HAW HAW!!! My theory remains undefeated and regnant supreme: These environmental regulations, like most other government realms of intrusion, are about getting "useful idiots" AKA True Believers, to line up behind certain politicians in a power grab, and that that, in turn, is to let them wield power to extort kickbacks. Value of the environmentalism per se is irrelevant to the power struggle. That's a meme to get you to behave in ways that support the power grab.
Remember that: I could grant 100% validity to the value of environmentalism's every last bleat, and it still wouldn't alter the power dynamics.
Except in this case they went to far and put themselves over a barrel.
This plot would make a perfect thread to insert into Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. "But we didn't really mean to kill off your enterprise -- we rely on it for jobs to maintain our power. We just want you to play ball."
I estimate a 60% chance of a downmod as some meme defense mechanism activates in the brain of a True Believer, and they downmod to help protect the meme guiidng their actions
Torrents are designed to have many points sending small amounts of data. It's not for giant pseudo-servers. With lots of people, net downloads should be almost as fast.
Hell if you ran the software self-throttling uploads, we'd never have these issues.
That just increases the pool of potential firelings.

So if I live in a "one-party consent" state, I can just record without notifying?
It also says California's Supreme Court ruled that if you talked to someone in California (an "all-party consent" state) you needed the CA guy's permission. How can they enforce that? Extradite? Do other states honor that or do they have their own balls?
Government claims it is drug money. They get to take items used in crime (e.g. a knife in someone's back) even if they never catch, arrest, try, or much less convict someone.
Don't like it? Contact your congressman and mandate it be returned absent real, solid evidence of a crime. If they can't arrest (much less convict) the person carrying it, there is no crime.
I recall a case 10 years ago where a cop on Cops or a similar show, pulled over a Mexican family and found $8000 in cash in a tire in the trunk. They took it as drug money and let them go. (Remember they come from a vorrupt country where something like that is normal corruption.)
Some in Congress stamped their little foots and wondered why no one arrested the cop for theft. Not much happened, I'm guessing.
The Panama Canal is being expanded to handle larger, "Superpanamax" ships. This Nicaraguan one will handle larger still.
The US has raised the value-judgement on environmental issues so high, there are literally several harbors in the US that have been fighting legal battles to merely deepen them by 5 feet to handle Superpanamax (and not even the even larger Nicaraguan ones) for longer than it took to build the original Panama Canal.
I will be modded down by censors, but it needs to be said again and again: environmentalism has taken over from good old fashioned corruption of officials (get in the way to be paid to get back out of the way) as the grinding drag on modern society.
The economy does not care why government chooses to get in the way of anything that moves, only that it does.
I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords. The nation that keeps trade routes open prospers; the nation that turns to lording over its own people falters.
Lawyers: We want people to carry their rights with them, even when operating as a group of people Congress defined as a "corporation" because Congress cannot force them to give up their First Amendment rights.
Scotus (in the voice of Nomad): Logic correct. Opposing lawyers are in error. Must sterilize.
A lot of online storage knows people store music and movies. So they check if it's a copy of a file they have already, and if so, don't really store your copy but just a pointer to a master copy.
Google knows lots of child porn (and violent images e.g. accidents) because they pay people to scan their crawler's found images precisely so they can hide them in returned searches. They probably don't keep child porn copies for legal reasons, but would keep some kind of electronic signature of them so they can be auto-recognized by their crawler software. Their humans would hence only need to check "new" pictures.
MS probably has similar for Bing. Running all their email or cloud picures (for space reduction as described) would trivially let them scan for known child porn. Easy forwarding.
This does make me nervous because such a system could be easily abused in the future to track political issues, pictures, text blocks people forward around. Of course the NSA probably does this already via normal internet server passthrouh nodes.:(
Bloatware on my Verizn phone means when a phone call comes in, or a page, and I view it, the browser is killed off due to lack of RAM. When I switch back, the browser re-downloads the page.
Verizon is pathetic. There's a "kill off unnecessary running programs" feature under task manager that they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to use, and it kills off just one thing, too. Which increases used RAM by 2 mb instead of decreasing, and that program shortly auto-restarts anyway.
Not everyone bothers with these distinctions. To say that the debate is one rife with ignorance is to master the skill of understatement.
Religious people were against stem cells from aborted fetuses because they considered it murder. There is nothing hard to understand about this.
Therefore, a way to do this with adult (or any non-abortion-based cells) would be hailed by the religious.
You should learn what people claim before drawing conclusions. As with the Hobby Lobby argument, stopping implantation might not technically be an "abortion", but it is killing a viable embryo nevertheless, "ensouled", so to speak. People stop being facetious.

Actually...

White: 72% of population
Black: 12% of population
White: 17% underrepresented

I assume they will be hiring three white people for every black person. Well, white chicks that is.

I prefer to think of it as 0.0007 cents per body part closeup.

I heard none of the ultranerd devs had a tightly-coupled mammary.
I assure ypu, Democrats do not want to open the can of worms of "who grants the most rent-seeking" laws and red tape to protect interests.
That's why they seek power in both parties. To get in the way to benefit someone, or extort someone.

Why? Because programmers don't design products -- they throw wrappers around APIs.
Usability testing? Wuuuuuuut?
