What the MAFFIA is doing is not stopping piracy but attempting to take away fair use rights we had to fight for back in the 80s.
They are not trying to make new goods and instead are trying the fleece consumers in new ways.
This is pretty much an attempt to turn the play button into the pay button.
BTW only a fucking retard or someone in a tea bagging session with the MPAA would ever side with the MPAA.
To the MPAA on wanting to control my ports.
FUCK YOU!
I mean seriously fuck you with an Ares rocket as that should be big enough for your filthy hole.
This is a lets gather up the torches and pitch forks and storm their castles kinda thing.
Who the fuck is stupid enough for b?
I know some real dumb fucks but even they are not that stupid everyone I know feels the MPAA/RIAA are crooks and the copyright laws are broken.
What about c? they'll steal more because they effing hate them or just copy net flix DVDs.
The MPAA's greed seems to know no end and this does violate every law on the books.
Seriously sometimes I wish Hollywood would get taken out a 3000ton meteor or the Russians deorbit something funny onto it.
I hope he enjoys not getting my money as dedicated servers are part of the reason why online gaming is so fun on the PC and utterly boring on the consoles.
Also said surveillance may have ruined the lives of 20 innocent people before preventing that suicide and drove five of them to suicide.
Surveillance societies have very high suicide rates and police brutality rates.
True I expect the UK economy to collapse under the weight of it's security apparatus much like the East German government did.
As for the terrorist problem crunch the numbers the chances of getting killed by one are vanishingly small.
You are more likely to die falling in the shower or making toast.
Bird strikes are no less then 27 times more likely to take out an aircraft then a bomb so lets go after those evil birds.
It's a classic case of risk distortion by the media.
Personally I'd rather be completely unprotected from terrorists then have this type of protection.
You chances of getting killed by a terrorist are somewhere between death by bees and lighting strikes.
But a government with such power will make your life a living hell and the government will become a serious danger as it will go after people who criticize it.
If you trade liberty for secuerty you deserve neither and will end up neither free nor secure.
If I was a provider I would rather cut off the UK then implement their monitoring system.
It is a slippery slope and a lot of historical examples come to mind esp in the former communist countries.
Agreed also what about people who make their own custom interfaces.
Plus it is environmentally irresponsible to force someone to buy a new projector or monitor just because it doesn't include Satan's HDCP or other DRM.
Yah I'm sick of flash it seems Adobe's flash dev team only get worse at writing stable and efficient code over time.
The OSX flash plugin for both X86 and PPC is crap and the linux version a crashing boar.
The people who pass these laws realy are hypocrites.
These same people would and often do bring harm to children if it would farther their career.
They have caused needless wars where children are burned with white phosphorous and poisoned with depleted uranium.
Yes I'm making a stab at the right wing conservative movement in the US.
I agree and it's fantastically wasteful to jail someone just for having jpegs on their harddrive.
When someone is sent to jail for a an infraction that harms no one such as having a few random bits on the HD or possessing a joint it costs the state $25,000 USD a year on average.
This is for a standard security prison Max security is much higher.
You could give 50 needy children new text books and school lunches for a year for that.
Heck you could put someone though a state university for that.
Prosecuting thought crimes is not only as morally wrong as child molestation it also is very very expensive.
The rules on college loans does need reform and the interest rates should be reduced.
Plus the cost of higher education needs to be reigned in to levels that are affordable to the middle class.
Because that would actually make sense and would be fitting of the infraction.
This is Texas we're talking about where logic does not apply.
This law does run afoul of the first amendment freedom of speech.
Besides it's not exactly hard to block a user from your site and delete any posts you are not happy with.
In fact it's normal to have to do this on any social networking site.
If this is too difficult then don't use them.
Also do not put your personal info on a publicly viewed site.
I can't agree more really this should be small potatoes.
A standard restraining order would have done the job.
But it's seems school faculty have no spine and the intelligence of a seaslug anymore no that would be an insult to gastropods.
Really this is the most sicking law I've heard of yet no I'm absolutely disgusted.
If I was from Texas I would be ashamed that such a brainless law was passed in my state.
I bet the waste of carbon atoms who wrote this law was fucking a goat while he/she drafted this steaming pile of dog flop.
It's one is being pestered online it's not like being pestered in RL.
It's not that hard to to block the fuckers emails and messages or just change accounts.
If you are too dumb to do this then don't go online.
Yes this is going to far she's just a kid and does not deserve such a punishment.
It makes me sick what is happening to this country and what kind of idiot laws are being passed.
It also it totally wrong to have a felony follow you for the rest of your life.
Yah I have found a few old systems that still work including Atari 2600s and a morrow MDC III.
But if you really wanted to preserve a system maybe replace the bios flash chip with a milspec one high end flash has a 50 year data retention time and the HD with a flash drive remove any batteries.
Keep at least two copies of bios and flash.
For storage take a lesson from NASA on old Apollo hardware pack it in a container filled with nitrogen.
The ROHS stuff may not last as long as non ROHS.
ROHS was a stupid ass ideal and the alternatives are well known to cause far more damage in their mining then lead ever did but the EU is ran by morons anyway.
Who knows maybe ROHS will be killed when someone gets sued over a critical piece of equipment failing due to tin whiskers and the sub humans who pushed it hunted down.
As an EE I have nothing good to say about ROHS other then it needs to be struck down and all supporters dumped on the bottom of the ocean.
Because someone was stupid and thought it should be on the network that shares data from the experiments
likely for easier maintenance.
The fix would be to completely isolate the network for the control systems from any network connected to the internet.
I'm still in disbelief they made such an epic and obvious mistake.
Why in the hell is something like this linked to the internet are they crazy?
Thats just stupid from a security stand point to have the control computers linked to the internet now days it's not like how it was in the 70s and 80s.
If I was running the program I would so fire the person who setup the computers as that was a colossal f--k up bigger then the LHC it's self.
The anti pedophile crusade is nothing more then a smoke screen for something truly evil inside the government.
Also the truth is these people who do these crusades almost always are criminally sick people themselves and are only doing them to distract the public from seeing there flaws and short comings.
It's best to never buy into these so called crusades just read a history book every time there always was an ulterior motive.
Hitler did the exact some stuff to gain power in pre WWII Germany.
I never bought into it and knew it was bullshit from day one same with the so called war on terror and the war on drugs.
It's all the same BS BTW I don't care what people think as far as pedos go it actions that matter.
They should only concentrate on those who commit crimes against children going after lolicons and other harmless individuals will only force the real predators into hiding making them that much harder to catch.
Plus prison time often will turn normally harmless individuals into very dangerous people because the prison system is so broken one has no choice but to become an animal to survive.
BTW many of the people behind these type of things often are the real deal.

Yes it does run a ground of the first amendment and really should be the target of lawsuits. Really for once I'm tankful for lawyers.
