It think it's more of a "what if" mentality. Over the last few years the US has become increasingly militant in its spreading of "Democracy and the American Way" to all countries that it decides need it. People are worried about the US suddenly deciding that because of its actions, Iran doesn't deserve internet access, or North Korea, or anyone that upsets them, come to that.
It's like the US's anti-comms satellites - sure they're not using them now, but what if they suddenly change their minds? By then it's too late to do anything about it.
Correction, GTA:SA and its predecessors got an 18 rating from the BBFC, not ELSPA. ELSPA ratings are an advisory system, whereas the BBFC ratings are legally binding.
You'll also notice that nobody seems to really care about the Hot Coffee debacle in the UK anyway - the most we've seen are a few references to the "outrage" in the US and Oz.
Of course the counterpoint to that is that by hiding the information, the government can get away with not replacing the faulty body armour on the basis that nobody's going to find out about the flaws.
Which contractual agreement is that? I didn't sign anything, or even tacitly agree to any terms.
Now if they sold the catridges with a deal whereby if you return them to Lexmark you get a rebate, then that's fine, but this so-called "prebate" has (had) no basis in law and was just Lexmark relying on people being well behaved and returning the cartridges.
How exactly does refilling a cartridge infringe on Lexmark's patents? Do they have a patent on refilling ink cartridges? Perhaps they have a patent on "Saving money by not paying exorbitant fees to Lexmark every time your ink runs low"?
The 9th Circuit could have just been honest and said that "refilling ink cartridges infringes on Lexmark's right to make money off you and we clearly can't have that now, can we".
The chance of somebody contracting CJD from a blood transfusion donated by someone who'd visited the UK for 6 months is essentially negligible, but it only takes one case for the media to turn it into a circus and blame the government for not protecting people.
They're suing Google for indexing images off *other* sites that are hosting their copyrighted images without permission. They basically want Google (and A9) to police their copyright for them.

I'm actually going to see it tonight at the Birmingham (UK)preview screening, which sold out within a day. Every review & preview of Serenity that I've read has been excellent, with many tipping it to be one of, if not the best film of the year.
For a film that's hardly had a huge marketing campaign, it's generated an awful lot of hype in the movie-going community.
Take a big company with several thousand Win 2000 machines.
Take an idiot user with a laptop and Win 2000.
Idiot user gets infected off their home internet connection, takes laptop into work, connects it to the network and infects every other machine within minutes.
The Sky News website is great for "News we just made up". After the recent London Bombings their stories were full of "facts" that they pulled out of their asses and attributed to "Unofficial but reliable sources".
The ED2K rating system is fairly basic at best. Firstly you have to have the file sitting on your machine in order to rate it, which isn't too practical. Secondly it doesn't differentiate between filenames associated with hashes, so somebody might rate a file down because it's porn and not the movie they were looking for, but what if you're looking for porn? Finally, there's nothing to prevent people from spamming crappy/excellent ratings on files.

Sadly, most of that will now go towards his bandwidth costs.
Fine then, I'm going to build my own internet, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the internet.

Can't it be 1 and 2?
Well that's kind of the point, it's not funny in context.

He wrote a program specifically designed to infect somebody's machine and steal information from them and then sold it as such.
It's the same as making and selling "Break & Enter" brand crowbars, "Guaranteed to get you into anybody's house to steal all their stuff".

That would require companies to spend time and money training said graduates to do the job.
They'd much rather require 3+ years experience of zOS to get the position, with crappy pay, and then wonder why nobody applies.
It's more stupid than that.

The "education" still involves exactly the same crime as a real exploit.
Well no, it doesn't, as they don't collect the information you provide and empty your bank accounts with it.

So, not a fan then?
Well yes, but to be fair to Microsoft they weren't intentional backdoors.

And nobody will dare oppose the bill for fear of appearing to support child porn.
