So PROVE this is what has brought it back and that it wasn't just a natural cycle of the earth. The earth is a hell of a lot bigger than us, and will do what it wants regardless if we are around to predict it or not.
Without hard proof Its all theory, and statistics, which ALWAYS lie..
Larry Niven's Ringworld really should be done first.
And what is with not even starting production for 2 more years.. then what, another 2 to film it.. perhaps 1 more to be cleaned up before its seen.. 5 years away is a LONG time to be talking about it today.
Will take a hit due to this in the long run. Your cute convenient PDF/ebook/mobi/bla format of the month wont be around in 1000 years for our successors to read. Hell they may not survive 5 years since they are now copyrighted digital bits to be restricted, modified and deleted by the powers that be on a whim.
Sure they have their place and i have them myself, but if we lose books altogether, we as a society will lose our link to the future and past.
So a company that sells 'digital condoms' claims everything on the web is out to get us and is bad, and we must be protected from said 'badness' or we will all go to digital hell.. i should believe them, why?
Also what the hell are we doing giving out addresses to nearly inanimate objects? I want my lights to turn on and off, not report back how much they were used to some external entity.
Really, why do i care he had porn? Its not like most of the world cares, and if its to 'insult' him or give him a bad image, those that do care wouldn't believe it anyway.
Considering the minimal resources required to reproduce this, any chance this is running on a VM or something that we could 'take home' as our very own? ( for when this fades into the abyss of time and memory )
Umm no. I'm being serious and discussing tech that exists today, just not in a small portable device format, yet. But if they can be miniaturized, then there is our tricorder.
I also prefer ( and support ) the little people. The RIAA is why small artists rarely see the light of day. They don't offer enough revenue stream to be worthy.
And god help them if they go independent, as the RIAA is out to kill that off too. Its part of why they are attacking the entire p2p concept.
Back to your question of why: if we can kill them off it will let ALL artists bloom on their own merits and talents, not just the big buck "manufactured" artists.
Not on my watch he wouldn't, at least not directly. He would be given a data dump that *I* safely gathered for him. The 2 networks would never cross paths.
Control systems would never see the light of day, so to speak.

Its most anyone that isn't tech-savvy.
What ever happened to interfaces deigned for a *user*, not a techie ( like we had with the newton for example )?
The interfaces should adapt to us, not the other way around.
Since no proof will be offered, i reject the conclusion and the banning only served to line the pockets of those that purchased the legislation.
Once again, the little guy gets screwed.

if done properly, or really really really bad if not.. I doubt there will be a middle ground with this.

Screwed up they are, in America.
Ya, i could commit even more, but if they are worthless bits of poor code, does it matter?
But it tracks your usage of the light bulb.

we called that blitzkrieg in wwii
has this same problem. The best way to fight it is with knowledge.

Ya, and its ruined. ( no, that wasn't sarcasm )
PS, real men coded in 8bit assembler, but ill give you a pass on it since your heart is in the right place at least.
Get legislation enacted to guarantee your revenue stream.
Not when it comes to 'forbidden knowledge'. That doesn't get grandfathered in.
Umm no. I'm being serious and discussing tech that exists today, just not in a small portable device format, yet. But if they can be miniaturized, then there is our tricorder.
Its not just about the RIAA.
Just wait until the rules change and they have retroactive data so can arrest you for what you did a year ago that is now illegal.
At least for your sake that is legal, for now.
Couple some sort of microfluidic sensor with ultrasonic holography and couple that to a online database and you pretty much have a medical tricorder.

What was that.. a flying pig?
I'm not one that blamed comcast out of the gate as i dont think they would ever stoop to that level, but this is really, um, surprising.

Not supporting remote logins is one good reason.
