is the most broken idea in the TV landscape. With current systems, its hard to know if there really isn't anything on or if you're just missing out on that one thing you always wanted to see. I need TV to intelligently learn what I like. Just because I watch that one lousy infomercial that drunk night after the bar doesn't mean thats all I enjoy to watch.
On the other side, I don't need to talk to my TV or flail my arms like an idiot trying to get it to flip channels. I don't see anything wrong with the remote as it exists as an interface tool.
Simple answer? Say 'No' a few times. Design it with one mission, secure critical systems for us. Screw the researchers, college students, thats what the public internet playground is for.
Should the government really be trying to manage security across the ENTIRE internet? Would you rather plug 10,000 holes in an old barrel or just build a new barrel? Maybe I just don't understand the issue enough, but wouldn't a separate Government/Military/infrastructure internet be more viable and easier to implement on existing systems thus costing less? And if you really needed access to the public internet, you could control the points of entry and monitor them much easier and more effectively.
I was an XBL Silver member, never having played a game over the XBL service. I used my system for single player games and local multiplayer. In order to get updates for your xbox, you are required to have an XBL account (or buy a game that has the updates on the disc many months later). I also enjoyed modding games with my PC, so my system was modified. Last week I found I was banned and thus am unable to obtain any further updates on my system.
If this ban wave was made to keep the XBL service free of people altering gameplay in multiplayer games, then why would they bother banning a system that has never once been involved in a multiplayer game?
The manual advises, however, that staff should 'decide if the solution would cause more negative publicity than if the demonstrators were simply left alone.
With the President's approval ratings in the 30% area, why would they even care about negative publicity? Might as well throw some of those pesky dissenters into Gitmo while you're at it. Hell, start sending kids to war. I'm pretty sure the last 30% of the nation is so brain dead they would probably be behind anything the president said.
With the RIAA, even if you win, you lose. Not only do they fail to pay their content creators reasonable amounts of money for their intellectual property, but they laugh in the face of the American judicial system by throwing a fit when they have to pay out a relatively small amount of money to someone for a frivolous law suit.
The studios actually thought about your method. They ruled it out after realizing people would just wait until the DRM uses up all of his kicking power. If used incorrectly, the DRM may only take a hand full of days to be 'cracked'.
Well, what about the benefit of the doubt in cases like this.
AOL has to protect its members from all sorts of attacks, and included in these are phishing and URL redirection that often come from email solicitation. AOL could simply have had a filter that would not link to anything with AOL in the URL except from specific sources (you see where I'm going with this...).
Sure, there is always an air of Big Brother and evil corporations trying to oppress something... but its not always the case.

Awesome! I'd gladly pay a monthly fee for that (depending on quality of service and selection of course).
We'll do that when the Brits give us access to BBC iplayer!

Its not my favorite music, but I do like it. Keep up the good work. I tempted to buy just to support someone like you.
I can finally take up smoking again!

Sounds like you are from the Holland area as well. Everything you said is true. Too bad we had to shit up our state via our elected leaders ....

I just wonder how long till they decide to let big blue play. Only problem would be figuring out how to get a urine sample from a super computer.
