No one is obligated to prop up your artificial scarcity dependent business model. Your rights end where others' systems begin. If you don't like it, put your site behind a paywall and find out what it's really worth to most people.
Yup, well his premise does apply to the 'home grown' terrorism here and in other western countries. Radical islam sounds more attractive to westerners under increasing external economic and social pressures to give up more and more liberty for less in return. Of course, fixing this requires washington (and other governments) to acknowledge flaws in their own ideologies, which they won't do until things get bad enough affect the ruling class. By then, it may be too late.
Not quite. That directly depends on how much is being drunk in the first place, along with other lifestyle and biological attributes of the individual in question. I suspect this 'recommendation' has more to do with politics than anything else.
They play in mpc-hc. According to that player, they're 11fps, flagged as mpeg4 SP@L3 yet the res is 720x576. Maybe they won't play because they're mistagged by the encoder. Wiki suggests level3 is limited to 352x288.
That doesn't work for long when you're subsisting on the shit output of all the other miserable workers. Even in the job you chose, you're still being paid and (to less of a degree every day) you get to keep most of what you earn. While not as luxurious, you're obviously willing to live the lifestyle it affords you. It's a trade off you're willing to make. Without that pay, you would not feel fulfilled, passionate, or have much self esteem.
What about the electronics meant to read that RFID tag inside the gun? I guarantee it reduces the environments in which the weapon is expected to function. Those 'sealed' electronics on ships often fail, too, just less often than unsealed electronics. Needless complexity creates needless failure rate. There's a reason ships still keep paper charts sealed in plastic. Charts don't break.
Centralization of control leaves systems vulnerable to manipulation by powerful interests, public and private. It's not like the state has done a stellar job either.
I think both are appropriate responses. Not buying the software only sends the message that the product is undesirable in some way. Breaking the drm repeatedly demonstrates why.
Actually, it's people like you who think you have the right to sell maleware infested garbage as legitimate software and then get angry when people find ways to remove the malware.
Most people always build arbitrary borders in their heads about reality to soothe their feelings. This is yet another example. Actually, I'd use your statement of 'the cold war is over' as another example. Most people arbitrarily declared it over and the threat eliminated when the berlin wall fell and the soviet union was dissolved. Reality is more nuanced than that.

Electronics are fragile and prone to failure in adverse environments. I'd say this applies to modern cars as well.
Car related deaths outweigh gun deaths by some huge factor. I think your priorities are skewed.

Except it ain't mud. It's shit.
illoyalty? Is that some new newspeak word that hasn't made circulation yet?
Your love of fallacy intrigues me. May I subscribe to your newsletter?

Right.. but why increase those chances for the sake of irrational fears?
I didn't do that because I never said or implied that women can't or shouldn't be scientists.
It's also the one pushing similarly silly beliefs about humans and reality for the sake of certain political ideologies.
That's true. Overcomplexity like electronic locks increases the chance of failure to fire.
You might think differently depending where you live.. I'd want BOTH my cars to start AND my weapons to fire, EVERY time.

Nowadays, the publishers give them incentive. Treat paying customers like crap with abusive drm schemes and they'll go elsewhere.
or maybe people like you should get real jobs instead of expecting the state to back your artificial scarcity.

Nah, if you wanted to be the ultimate tyrant, you'd make The People fund their own oppression.

Energy production? Precious metals? Those two alone might make it worthwhile. I never said it was a guarantee. What's with your attitude?
Possibly not. Certainly not in our lifetimes. However, that doesn't mean it wouldn't be good if it did.
