Moron. Do you know what the Taliban would do to a person like you if they had their way? They would cut your head off, literally. They consider you an infidel. It is nice to sit in your suburban house and wax romantically about politics, but the Taliban would literally cut your head off if they were allowed to.
I think you just answered your question: your bookshelf DOES NOT hold thousands of books, unless you live in a library. E-readers are great because it is easy to get new content for them (my local library "lends" them for free and so does bittorrent) and you can hold as many books as you practically need. If you use epub format you can transfer your books to any device and back them up. What if your physical books get in a fire or get damaged? You have no backup. Another nice thing about ebooks is you can adjust their fonts, which is much appreciated when you get older.
Seriously? Who actually sees ads at this point? If you aren't running an Adblocker you are just setting yourself up for malware and worse. I haven't seen an online ad in 10 years.
None of these things were considered "toys" when first introduced. Who ever said the "C programming language" was a "toy"??? No wonder this guy is VP at MS. He is clueless.
Yes they want to bypass it. Comcast will disconnect you if they think you have too many copyright violations. It is just another added step to "fine you" to allow your access to remain. This is coming no matter what people think. The days of open Internet are coming to a close. The next step will only allow people to connect to the Internet via "approved" devices.
Hate to break it to you, but most people don't use VPNs and the ISPs are already monitoring your traffic. It is only a matter of time before they start disconnecting/fining people. The Internet was fun while it lasted though!
True...if you run a VPN you won't be detected anyway. I doubt they are that sophisticated. https doesn't matter, they just look at the IP endpoints/ports to determine if you are "torrenting".
Comcast already does this to some degree. They will inject HTTP into your browser requests if you have a copyright violation. It would be just as easy to redirect your web requests to a Rightscorp page until you pay the fine.
It isn't malware like you think it is. The ISP just redirects your web requests to Rightscorps servers until you pay the fine. Comcast already will inject HTTP into your traffic with copyright notices.
Expectations of privacy in a motor vehicle while having sex? Really? There are traffic and red light cameras everywhere. Sometimes I wonder when commenters here arrived on Earth.
More worrying is how many of these H1b people exhibit microaggressive behavior? We need to screen them so we can create inclusive safe spaces for our tech workers.

Yes it would. In SA they wouldn't behead you for that. They would just kick you out. The Taliban is much much worse.

It isn't ironic at all. Drug dealers do the same thing: first hit is free. It works.

The CEO of this company is the Chief Exec of the Jerry Garcia estate. The hippies have grown up!

Yes. But you don't Obama because of his "policies", right? Sure.
So even Italian-Americans are joining ISIS?
OR they could just have the police issue tickets to drivers in the affected areas and confiscate their vehicles. Amazing!
You sound like a real asshole. No wonder she left you.
The job of the US military is NOT global security.
Wasn't that the SAME GUY who planted the explosives in WTC7? Heard it on the Internet...
100% correct. It is funny how people forget it was Facebook/Apple/Google/etc that handed all your data to the NSA/etc.
Will it help Slashdot support Unicode properly?

My Mom installed one in her basement.
Send in the HAARP! Trump would do it!
