You twisted what i said. I don't steal media files, but i dont want to spend my time making my devices believe me that i didnt steal it. I just want it to play the file without questioning me. Theres a difference between impeding my fair use and crippling my media's portability. I have a network, for example, and I dont want to have to explain to every one of my 20 computers that I own a file that I use from my server.
theres a difference between wanted encryption and unwanted encryption. I do not care to explain to every device in my computer that i didn't steal a media file. I want it to just obey my orders and play the damn thing.
bad of course. it goes against everything Libre Software stands for

Perhaps corporate funded software isn't where it needs to come from then, if something that the majority of the population who know how to infringe copyright online do it. The will of the people should be considered above the needs of corporations.
which is ironic because US military bases are considered american soil for many purposes. i was born at the US Army hospital in Berlin and i was born a US citizen (yet i cannot become president because i was born in germany)
actually i was going to remark on your grammar...it seems to me that making a point eloquently would make far more sense than making one i could not make eloquently. no offense intended of course.
what happened to the day when people would post a simple note pointing to an article rather than giving the whole damn thing away before you read the RFC? If I got sent a link to WOM (write only memory) or CPIP (RFC for carrier pidgeon IP) that gave away the whole damn thing i would be pissed.
I have used the 2003 beta, and i got confused as hell. it gave me errors far more cryptic than a command line ever has, and this is once i even mangaed to find the function i needed. Say what you will about command lines, at least then I don't spend all my time wondering why what looks like it should work doesn't. With a command line, if it gives me an error it either makes an effort to tell me what it cannot find, or confuses me in a way that enough other people have been confused that its easy to google for the answer.
close, but until you can run MS servers strictly off a command line and do anything you need to from there, then they will have figured out what a server is for. I shouldn't have to remote GUI (or even have a GUI) just to fix or run a few things in their cryptic little world.
while i could do this, there isnt much point when i can just run a mod chip. I already have a dozen consoles hooked to my TV...the last thing i have is space for more than i have to have
yes, internally. but she got them to start procedures for switching to Linux and Apache for at least serverside...hopefully it worked, but i know the incompetents running the servers were fighting it tooth and nail.
my wife used to work as a web developer (until six months ago) for a logistics company and they were too cheap to upgrade anything...NT4 everywhere, including the servers.
close, but not exactly. this makes it easier for those of us who boycott such items. While I agree with you that it will be used by the ??AA's to say that it legitimizes copy protection, it should be made clear if passed that it is a stopgap measure for while we try to get copyright laws fixed and fair use returned to the consumer.
last time i checked, screwing kids over from a young age makes them more likely to bend over and take it when they get older...personally i prefer a kid that will rebel against injustice.

Its bad enough that once a war is over we don't just declassify that war's stuff, but delaying this is ridiculous.

its not a matter of parental rules, its a matter of technological restraints. theres something scary about a population used to being tracked.
