    yes. it was written by the two major 'content' industry associations, and the legislators were paid to pass it.

    And both democrats and republicans were paid to have it passed.

    sure. go to the FBI with that story: "Some guys I never met before, and don't have a picture of or know their name, came to my house and threatened to kill my family if I don't do this illegal task. I want witness relocation".

    your savings will run out before you get it. and you probably will die [either of natural or unnatural causes] before you get it.

    Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

  11. Re:RTFA? on Ask Slashdot: Can You Disable Windows 10's Privacy-Invading Features? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes. Except you can't turn it off. If you aren't running Enterprise or Server versions, when you set it to '0', the text basically says "fuck you, we are still taking your private data".

  12. Re:Pointless in Canada on In Korea, Smartphones Use Multipath TCP To Reach 1 Gbps · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I got lucky as well, as Rogers started having an annual 'sale' around when the new iPhone was released to get 6 Gb of data $30/month. Then, later, when Telus and Bell got together to build their GSM network, Bell also did it, and I jumped on that. Now, they've stopped doing it and for 6Gb of data, it's still around $60/month if you sign up now.

    To much for "competition".

  17. I'm pretty sure this exact report was created 10 years ago, and has been republished every year since.

    Is it just a way to steal more federal funding for these "studies"?

    The install base is screwed, and nobody wants to spend any money to improve the situation. Profits over everything else.

  24. Re:Baseball - pah!! on A Computer Umpires Its First Pro Baseball Game · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding me? The only parts of baseball that take several minutes are:

    1) waiting for everyone to get ready for the next pitch. Because the batter just has to step out of the batters box, adjust his balls, rub his nipples, hitch up his shirt, work on rubbing out the lines showing where the batters box is, and then practice swinging the bat. Every single pitch.
    2) when the teams switch from hitting to fielding
    3) manager and/or player arguing over the last call from the umpire before being thrown out. For many games, this is the most exciting thing that will happen for the whole game.
    4) the seventh inning stretch. Normally, the second most exciting thing that will happen for the whole game.

    It you watch a daily sports news broadcast, they show all the exciting plays from all the games played that day. Normally, there are maybe half as many good plays in total as there are games played that day. And most of those are of guys getting thrown out at first.
