Seriously, you have the option of FiOS and you're complaining about your non-FiOS connection? Upgrade, and consider yourself lucky that you have the opportunity to do so!
In western liberal democracies we used to believe ourselves immune to such scare tactics as we are educated enough to see the false threats from the real ones.. so politicians didn't really play these games. But since 9/11 people have lost all concept of this and so when politicians play the boogie-man card people listen.. whereas before 9/11 they would mock.
Well, so long as they use the information for covert purposes nothing will be done.. it's only when they use it to mount a coup that something will finally be done about it, and by then it may well be too late.
it doesn't need years of training No, just decades upon decades of research and development.
Which costs money.
Which has to be recovered from customers.
just a software upgrade. Whereas if I want my housekeeper to do something different this week I just tell her, and with minimal explanation, she does it.
Plausible deniability is a two way street dude, they can't prove there is more information on the drive and you can't prove there isn't. And no, the burden of proof is not on them.. it's on you.. the court has ordered you to turn over records relating to X, if you refuse to turn them over, you are in contempt. Unless you can convince the judge that the records never existed then you're screwed - it's just as bad as if you had shredded them.
If copyright violation didn't have a criminal component to it, you might be right. But it does, particularly since the DMCA specifically criminalized copyright violations of digital material. Streeeeeeeeeeeetch.

Guy making proprietary software of a trivial nature is outraged that someone dared to use his code without his permission.
Boo-fucking-hoo.
Have you? Its actually a complete rewrite with a few copied images and sounds (which are not even used).
Seriously, get your decompiler out and have a look.
bad summary.
Seems there are duplicate files in the SWF files of each. So although the code might be new, the content isn't completely.
I decompiled it, there's no similarity.
All the graphics are different.. you don't even need a decompiler to see that.
Here's the main routine of the Chinese game.
And here's the routines from the other one.
Even without understanding action script anyone can tell they are completely different.
And besides, why would you bother ripping off the code for something so trivial? Any decent Flash jockey could re-write this game in an hour or two.
yawn.
I can't say I've ever heard an American say anything good about public education. You get the feeling that they would rather it was abolished.
Pretty-much everywhere in the world has recognized the importance of a free education, except the US.

I'm pretty sure I could enter the US or Europe on my brother's passport.

Politicians have learned that "we can keep you safe" sells these days.
I'm paying $66/week.. through an agency, who provide liability insurance.
Read the rest of the thread, he's a moron.

If he have a housekeeper who complains about anything, fire them and get a new one.
Same with if you expect they might be stealing.
you're a retard.

Although I would contend that many songs should be illegal.. including this one, I don't think that term means what you think it does.
They are cheaper than any robot, don't need constant supervision and are actually available right now.
WRONG. Maybe they're investigating someone else's crime and believe your machine has evidence on it.
Are completely unaware of the difference between civil and criminal law or are you just disingenuous?
