Not just insanity. Immorality. Especially when they get laws passed as an end-run around your rights, making it illegal to space-shift what you already bought (something that's supposed to be legal).
Has it been so serious a problem so far that it warrants a drastic reduction in civilian oversight capability?
I mean, has there been a huge rash of hostage-takers listening in and reacting badly, so much so that it's worth blocking 350 million people from having the ability to keep tabs on who's keeping tabs on them?
Somehow I doubt it. Sure, a few criminals might be using this capability, but I know of another technology that is FAR more often used to aid the commission of crimes.
"How many consumers have a female USB cable, to power a device with a male USB jack. Yeah, OK, they could include the power cable and AC-DC power adapter with this hypothetical gadget. But then it is larger than a smartphone, and you have to ask, why would I use this gadget instead of my smartphone? Answer: You wouldn't.
Or, you could spend the dollar to GET a USB cable with a female end. Or they could package the thing with a small 25 cent adapter.
But who would buy a cable? I mean how likely are the kind of geek hobbyists who would want to use this device to have or buy a cable?
Not a chance! No computer geek *I* know would ever buy a cable. Too technical.
Actually it hinges on "YOU could be crazy" (The "you" being the GP)
But it could easily be me too. If I think a magic man in the sky is very concerned how I touch my penis, me being crazy is probably the more likely explanation than there actually BEING a magic man in the sky concerned about my penis.
I know a little about religion. I know a great deal more about mental illness.
To be blunt, there is far more evidence of mental illness than there is of gods. We know for a FACT that eyewitness testimony is unreliable because people can: be delusional, be confused, be misled, be mistaken, have brain attacks and seizures that can cause them to see things, can misinterpret what their sense are feeding them, and lie.
In fact they do all of the above very frequently. That's all the evidence I need to deal with your claims, unless you come up with something more concrete than 'I know because I know, and the evidence that I know is that I know."
Which one of the TV channels is "The Not Stupid" channel? Because I never found it. Even the "science" and "documentary" themed channels like History and Discovery spend plenty of time on blowing shit up, credulous UFO shows and ghost hunters, not to mention "the science of Jesus" kind of bullshit.
What scares me is that a character from a freaking TV show has a far better, more fleshed out Wikipedia article than many (most?) prominent scientists. Not to mention other worthwhile people.
You could probably come up with a way of encrypting the whole file and keeping it as video (static).
Post it to youtube, link in your whatever to the tool to decrypt it. Use a youtube downloader, etc.
Probably could even automate grabbing the 15 minute segments and restoring them into say, the length of a feature film, if you had some home video of that length.;)
he only way to effectively insure that the current copyright laws are not widely ignored would be to set up a global surveillance system to watch what every single person does online.
So yes, slavery. Or if that's not the best word, totalitarian oppression.
Homeopathic doctors are STILL too expensive considering the fact that they aren't actually doctors and their procedures are more akin to taking communion than they are to medicine.
In short, $450 for a quick realistic medical procedure, while wildly overpriced, is still not nearly as overpriced as $40 "water with memory" treatment that us useless, fraud, defies every known law of the universe and can be equated with dowsing, speaking in tongues, "channeling," reiki, astrology and kissing the Pope's ring.

Stop watching Fox.

Wheels.
Do away with 'em.
Or maybe it will make him more likely to accept the non-fatal outcome the negotiator is offering him?
Who knows. Never can tell how things work out.
All I know is from where I sit (Oakland) the idea of cops finding another way to hide what they do is alarming.

...he's doing exactly the same thing as every Facebook user. and twitter user. and foursquare user. etc.
AHA! You are hereby charged with destroying evidence! You MUST be guilty if you're shredding everything that comes in right away.
So what you're saying is, even when it's not winter, it's still nice and white.
I moved TO California. Glad I'm here. Glad you're not.
Really?

In my limited experience, CEOs like this are brought in to wax the car before it goes in the sales lot.
n/t
(No this is not a fricken defense of HP, I could give a shit if HP shoots itself in the head.)
So you're arguing that an employee of the company (the CEO) should be more protected than the owners? (shareholders)
What are you, some kinda commie?
I always referred to playing WoW as "running errands."
Oooh. Modded down from 3 to 0.
Someone has cops in the family.
By the cops?
I never carry a gun or knife, never have. But I'm willing to bet that in the event some cop shoots me, they'll "find" a dangerous weapon on me.
Well you win. Boyscout training beats law enforcement training when it comes to remembering the law.
Seeing as warrantless wiretapping is clearly unconstitutional, it's thoroughly inappropriate to be doing it at all.
The windows are all rendered in pastels.

Is google obligated to link to them?
Maybe Google can charge them to have them have links on Google's site?
IP is a knife with no handle that cuts in every direction.
