No, he said popularity is a useful sorting method when trying to pick which of four gazillion videos to re-encode first. Or did you think that the videos are already all in 60fps mode and only send every second frame when you view them?
That was my thought as well. This is the perfect excuse for Google to shrug and say, "Welp, we can't do that ourselves now and we don't want to pay the license. Sorry fellas, ThePirateBay hits the #1 spot for 'disney movie' searches."
Holy crap, even the afterlife is cutting corners now. Used to be 72 just a few years ago. Maybe too many muslims died and they're rationing the remaining virgins?
Wasn't there a case not that long ago where a judge allowed a summons to be sent through Facebook because that was the only way of reaching someone? Combine that with this and you have a rather scary scenario.
The first thing to spring to mind about false positives is they'll (in most cases, one would hope) be pulled aside and questioned, while the Glass runs a more in-depth analysis of their face rather than just the quick scan necessary to look out over a crowd. Various science-fiction movies and shows already give ideas in this regard, I believe. It's not like computerized facial recognition when a police officer looks at you is a new idea.
Not entirely sure what you mean by downloading offline, whether you mean pirating for offline use or buying at a store.
Yes, let's go back in time twenty years to when brick and mortar stores were all the rage rather than following technological evolution because a few powerhouse ISPs want to have their cake and eat it too.
It's not just movies, though Netflix has been the visible player in all of this.
Imagine if Valve and Comcast can't reach an agreement. Whoops, suddenly your Steam library downloads at 10 KB/s. Or that MMO you play, their latest 10 GB download for the next expansion comes down at that speed because you're with Time Warner. Wanna try out a beta for a game? No agreement signed, you'll be ready to play in a week.
This is not just solved by RL rental stores or pirating. Oh, and if this non-neutrality goes through, rest assured that P2P can suddenly be throttled to effectively a trickle.

So switch from one import of power to another? I think that's kinda defeating the whole point.
This is not about DVDs or songs.
This is about hacking into the social security database and downloading the whole thing possibly with intent to sell to the highest bidder.
70 Virgins?

IF $height>220cm THEN drive straight into it.
So it smells like your average public men's restroom?

Let's see what we can come up with of insults based on that name. Hmm ... Maybe that you're making light of the problem?
So is North Korea.
Of COURSE wireless carriers are draconian.
They transmit everything through the air. Dragons fly in the air. Therefore they're draconian.
Where does Game of Thrones fit in that list? Or do adaptations of books also count?
Which means it has been like this for ALL OF THEIR LIVES.
At least old people have the excuse that it's relatively new to them.

the computer networks of the U.S. Army and several tech companies
It's right there in the summary.
No, those are the hottest things, not the coolest.
What if you can't recall the name of the program, but you know you'll recognize it the moment you see its folder in the ... oh wait. No Start menu.

how do you identify these rouge, unlicensed website operators?
By catching them red-handed.
Whoosh.
