You do understand the joke the GP was making, correct? DropDB is the command to dump the entire database. If your inputs aren't properly sanitized, then the user agent string DropDB would cause you to lose your entire tracking database.
It's similar to the old yarn about the student in college who kept righting on their test after the time limit was up and when the professor started to chew the student out and explain they were going to throw their test in the trash since they hadn't stopped on the bell, the student asks if the professor knows who they are. When the professor responses that they don't, the student just shoves their test into the middle of the pile and runs.
The ones that died had wings, could shoot laser beams out of their eyes, and could mind meld using their ponytails. And all we got was 'intelligence' and 'humor' and looking over the unwashed masses, I see not even most of us got that. Bah.
That only works when the States actually do their job, which in the majority of the cases I've seen the Federal Government step in over, they haven't.
The only difference between State and Federal is state corruption is has a bigger mix of players and more out right criminals as opposed to company lobbyists.
That's because you blinked. At the start there were a few that relied on copying the disc to the hard drive but a firmware revision patched it. On the other hand, the point you and another made is valid. The one glowing beacon of the gaming industry's attempt to 'prevent piracy' is the console. Too bad even here they do their best to kill the used game market by using 'only time only' content that can only be enabled once per disc.
The right to loan books out is covered by the First Sale Doctrine, which in fact is the "English" of 109a. So no, he's not talking bullshit. You just need to read a little more. Why not try your local library, they often have wonderfully accessible 'public law' sections for the lay person.
There are people who consider ripping games 'their game'. It doesn't matter what game it is, they do it for the cred, not the love of the game itself. Which is why DRM (especially the cookie cutter stuff that comes pre-broken for them by virtue of being already broken on the last game it was released with) is pointless. The only real function of DRM is to to tie the game to the first user as tightly as possible so that when they attempt to resell it on the used game market, it's worthless.
May not screw too much with the recording (audio and video) companies other than pointing out the ridiculousness of their monetary damages claims. But it really should be shoved in the face, and hard, of the video game industry and the bunch of whining assholes who keep pushing DRM on physically sold games under the banner of preventing piracy but actually just to fuck over people who peruse the used game market.
Seriously, name one game released since 2000 (and sold more than 10 copies) where the copy protection has prevented it from being pirated. One.
Only in a small group of countries for a small group of authors, primarily non-US authors. Since paying US authors seems to stick in the craw of most non-US governments.
If they are facts then the sources of the facts are not the people speaking to you but elsewhere. And the whole point is if you are being talked to someone like this, it's because they are trying to get you to start thinking about the 'facts' you've been taking at face value.
Rest easy then, because he didn't. Like many things, the article was slanted in order to get you to respond to the non-factual material being implied rather than the actual items being presented. Read the linked PDF paper.
And when did this become a philosophical movement? I see no one anywhere suggesting the government should lead us down the path of the righteous and good.
What I see is someone saying that the best way to deal with conspiracy extremists is to provide them the facts in a manner in which they are willing to evaluate said facts without dismissing them out of hand because they assume the source is tainted.
We did or we didn't land on the moon. We did or we didn't assassinate our own president. We did or we didn't assassinate a charismatic leader of the civil rights movement. We are or we aren't being controlled by a non-profit organization that purports to have the mission of seeking world peace through providing non-partisan, measured, responses to world governments concerning their issues.
Damn sand always gets in my underwear and leaves me doing the "Elaine dance". Screw Saudia Arabia if you were to just drop a couple of nukes to glass the place, the whole problem would go away.
Is it subversive to send a White House talking head to various news/talk shows to hammer home the government's talking points? If not, then it's not any more subversive to send someone into a chat room to do the same.
And if your outrage is over the fact that these people are boldly stating "I'm from the government" when they talk, then fuck you. Cause I really am an eighteen year old nubile young woman interested in a little one on one talk with you, if you know what I mean, *wink* *wink* *blush*.
The only way this goes bad is if the people the government send out start lying to break things up. And at that point, all I have to say is if you are the sort that listens to something some pixel jockie tells you and you aren't trying to verify it for yourself, you deserve whatever you get, whenever you get it.
Realism is calling, it wants you to acknowledge that most paranoid delusionists aren't going to decide arguments on their merits but on how closely the argument feeds their own paranoia.
This is a good idea/bad idea moment.
Good idea: Infiltrating said groups and using facts to undermine and destroy the leadership's control over the group by disproving their theories.
Bad idea: Infiltrating said groups and using lies and manipulation to undermine and destroy the leadership's control over the group by pretending to disprove their theories and by smearing their reputation.
The problem is, Good idea can slip into Bad idea quite easily. That's not a failure of ethics, it's a failure of judgment.
[the Sheriff has said he'll cut out Robin Hood's heart with a spoon] Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe? Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more.
So what you are saying is love is affected by the uncertainty principal and to observe it or attempt to quantify it in a meaningful manner fundamentally changes it?
Because of course, you are so much more likely to wear the helmet when you are going 20+ mph if you've grown up thinking wearing a helmet is for sissy's back when all you could go was 4+ mph.
Sometimes it's coddling the kid, sometimes it's trying to instill values in them that will actually protect them when they grow up. It's a lot easier to teach them when a mistake just means a bump on the head and not brains leaking out.
So really all you specifically need is two addresses, one assigned to you directly for your home gear and one on loan to you from your company for their gear.

That's the sound of Microsoft embracing and extending robots.txt, or you missing the joke the OP made... one of the two.

Complete transparency is great for financial workings, policy making, and driving.
It's not so great when dealing with radical groups who are already convinced that anything 'the man' says is a load of bullshit.
