There are plenty of us cheering them on in their quest to fix copyright. I have no problem paying fair value for the enjoyment of other peoples' creativity, and I'm sure most people feel the same.
The taxpayers partially subsidized the infrastructure for our utilities and telecommunications. It was wrong for the government to grant monopolies over that infrastructure. There couldn't be a better example of why government involvement in the market ends up badly.
I did the CLI-only thing for a while in college. I felt very l337 browsing the web and watching movies via framebuffer. Then I got a job and got busy, so I started using Macs.:D
Anecdotal evidence is fun! I know a lot of devs that use Macs. This just in, the network of people you are connected to have things in common with you.
It's a matter of the new definition of what is covered. By grouping this technique in with other surveillance techniques, the bar went from none to low.
Yeah, I am aware of the I2 project. According to them IPv4, IPv6, and others are supported. Also, their list of 213 participating universities would make that about 5% of the total number of universities. It also begs the question of what subset of the participants are actually running IPv6?
The researchers suggest that anyone with a video camera might earn some spending money by agreeing to have unobtrusive corporate logos placed inside their videos before they are posted online.
More like Google will insert said logos into said videos upon your posting them on YouTube.
You assume that people are going to spring for new equipment just so they can get IPv6? Not likely. Perhaps in five more years the equipment of today will be making up a significant portion of equipment in use.
I would be. Maybe some of the leading high-tech universities, but almost certainly the minority rather than the majority. Most educational institutions aren't going to spring for more expensive IPv6 equipment at this juncture.
Typos aside, what AC meant was 'authenticate' is a verb. To use your earlier sentence, "the biometrics would identify you, not authenticate you" (emphasis added).
I have always found this very strange as well. Someone probably had the bright idea to "increase screen real estate" just a bit because they could. The product caught on and then it became the standard.
I wonder if the price to produce a plasma television is just inherently much higher than LCD if the already generally lower prices on those were being fixed in many cases.
As for television, I've found all the outlets to be socialist biased (they assume only government can provide a solution)
I think you meant statist. I found both candidates to be flavors of statist—whether it is in order to further a militaristic or socialistic agenda. As such I wrote in Ron Paul.
If you are saying that Ron Paul is actually a classical liberal, then you certainly are correct on that point. Not sure where you're going with the "crazy constitution-reinterpreting" bit though as he is one of the most staunch constitutionalists around.

It's nothing Mr. Orwell didn't predict long ago. We're closer than ever to making it a reality.

I'm wondering why geeks give one a pass while they rabidly fight the other
It's called rooting for the underdog. It happens everywhere, not just in tech.

The GPL is about protecting the end user, not the developer per say.

We're one step closer to the replicator.

Whoa, that took a second to parse.

I thought exactly the same thing. We really need to stop reading so many Big Brother technology stories!
All that you changed in your argument was which person you considered reasonable.

This is yet another proof that 99.9% of consumers^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M people are sheep.
Fixed that for ya.
I don't have anything custom installed on my Wii and the update failed for me.
