Depends on the state. In my state, cyclists are required to keep as far right as possible. Not that I bike on roads, because I'm neither suicidal, nor fond of changing my tires mid-ride.
Any attempt to ban encryption would be met with huge pushback from many sectors, and there's a very good case to be made that encryption == speech anyway, so a ban likely wouldn't stand up to a Constitutional test.
The only reason these tactics work, along with other horrible policies, is because there's no powerful voice giving pushback in the public arena. Perhaps it's about time for the EFF to start making commercials, or for a consumer group to be established to lobby and donate and advertise, like the NRA or MADD. I may not agree with those groups' policies, but I cannot argue with their effectiveness.
Your demographic is too small for MS to worry about. And, unfortunately, most of the people demanding/buying the next console will be too young to understand or care about the advantages of physical media. They, or their parents, will buy it anyway.
I doubt he's lying. I'm sure at least 1 person has used either a phone or a hotspot and uses it as his primary internet connection in a location with a strong signal. My LTE gets up to 22MB/s at home. I wouldn't even have to use that full time to hit 2TB, and that's not including upstream, if I were torrenting. The number of people who have done that may be one or two in a million, but they have millions of customers. I would actually be more surprised if he IS lying than if he isn't.
That said, yeah, his response is overly emotional. Just remedy the problem, no need to throw a tantrum about it.
The line is a perceptual one, though, not a physical one. If someone sends me a picture through an IP-based chat program, and I copy it to my computer, have I just "tethered?" What about if they do the same with a video? What if I ask them to send me the video first? What if I formalize those requests using a protocol? Where does one draw the line? It's all fundamentally just data being copied and requests being made.
So it's just a question of perception, and perception is subjective. If you're going to run a technological service, provide objective, technical definitions. Structuring a contract with subjective terms is foolish.
Probably TrueCrypt, given that's what Snowden told Glenn Greenwald to use, and Greenwald is probably pretty close to the Vice news guys. Also, anyone wanting to protect their data from government surveillance would have been looking at the Snowden story very closely, so it's at least plausible, but very likely IMO, that ISIS uses TrueCrypt as well.
To be fair, outside of Japan, that watch pretty much screams social ineptitude, and terrorists are nothing if not socially inept.
Come to think of it, that watch might be single-handedly responsible for the decreased birth rate inside Japan. It's like a birth control watch. Well, if it had hands anyway.
a finding that...could shed doubt on the "heavenly" origins of the holy text.
No, it can't. No one who believes in supernatural events will be swayed by scientific evidence. At best, it shows that god works in mysterious ways, at worst, that science is flawed, or that science is anti-religion by trying to discredit holy prophets. There is no shortage of mental gymnasts among the faithful.
Any modulation that can be used on OTA transmissions can be used in an isolated medium, whether it's fiber, or coaxial cable, or waveguide, or what have you. The question is the medium, not the media, and isolated mediums will always be more efficient. Always.
Moreover, any OTA communication has to be reduced to an isolated medium for processing, so even if, magically, we could get faster speeds through OTA, we'd still be bottlenecked by those pesky endpoints.
Right, so far it's just bit players like Comcast and TWC. Maybe someday the major consumer ISPs will support IPv6, but that day certainly isn't November 9th, 2011.
If you shake someone's hand and risk bringing some respiratory disease back home then perhaps divorce is in order or maybe time spent with someone in the mental health industry. Have a Great Day ma'am.
Mostly true, but it's not that much more difficult for men. Those women are having sex with someone, after all, and I'm pretty sure it's not all the same guy. Be confident, but not a dick, a good listener, semi-romantic, don't waste time on girls who aren't interested, and you'll get more than enough. Most guys are their own biggest obstacle, particularly those who get hung up on "the one."
If inconveniencing a few million people is worth saving a few hundred lives, then inconveniencing a few hundred million people is worth saving tens of thousands of lives, yes?
So let's ban driving.
Shall we continue, or can we agree that line of reasoning would lead to all sorts of unintended consequences?
"National security," needs to be reserved for existential threats. Terrorism is not, and has never been, an existential threat, and it should be treated proportionally, as a crime.
People who choose to sacrifice themselves for others are lauded because what they've done is extraordinary, heroic, above and beyond what can reasonably be expected.

YouTube is asking people to prove a negative. Their system is set up for showing that the uploader owns the copyright on a work, but when no-one has that copyright it breaks down.
Exactly, and that's the opposite of reality. Everything is in the public domain unless someone asserts their copyright.

Actually, Win10 updates are distributed via file-sharing by default. I believe it's a variant of bittorrent, but I could be mistaken.

That's probably true in the US, at least from what I've heard, but is it true everywhere? China? India? South America?

Hopefully, they will never gain entry to the EU unless and until they get rid of Erdogan and his Islamofascist rabble-rousers.
Exactly. I mean, when Sean Connery is your voice and people still hate you, you might be doing something wrong.

This sounds like great news, but I have to ask why we're focusing on feeding sea birds instead of people?
No, it can't. No one who believes in supernatural events will be swayed by scientific evidence.
