You'd have to read it to know if it mirrors federal law or not.
It doesn't, and you haven't read it.
And after trying to discuss certain issues like whether bus or taxi drivers run afoul of AZ's sb1070 on AZCentral (by "transporting" them), I've determined that people in favor of it are thick and stupid.
SB1070 is bad law badly written.
Also, explain to me what an illegal immigrant looks like, because the last one I saw was German and overstayed her visa.
That's because metamoderation has been broken for quite some time and nobody does it anymore. So bad moderators don't get spanked.
With regards to your comment "just use Debian" I use Ubuntu because they generally have good defaults and I spend less time in/etc/. That's about it. Otherwise 10.04LTS and Stable are nearly interchangeable.

Books.
Without them, we'd have to rely on oral tradition. Look at what happened when writing was invented. Look at what happened when the printing press and libraries (even before the printing press) democratized knowledge.
I don't know what your problem is, but you lack a sense of history and can only think inside your pathetic little box.
>The point is that you don't need to download more data than your brain can process.
That's what computers are for. To augment the brain. They are growing in capability that will eclipse our puny biologically driven brains pretty soon. Maybe not as soon as Ray Kurzweil thinks, but probably within the next 100 year for sure.
You know what...
You are limiting your imagination, deliberately. You are ignoring the entire history of storage and bandwidth saying "Nobody would ever do that"
People have done so, and continue to do so.
If we lived in a multiverse, and had drives large enough to store entire universe copies, we would store them, and given the bandwidth, we would share them.
While I said what I said with a twist of jest, you really didn't read what I said or think about what I implied.
Back in the 20MB drive days, "media" was ASCII, and *maybe* some midi files and small games, if that.
Nowadays Blu-Ray disks hold 50GB (dual layer for motion-picture length). A 1TB drive can hold 20 of these if you dd the images (assuming real GB and TB and not base 10 "Salesman Counting").
You can most certainly fill up a 1TB drive. Easily.
And don't say "Oh, nobody copies whole disks." People do. They've been doing it since they've been copying floppies, CDs, and DVDs to hard disks. What makes you think that copying a Blu-Ray disk is any different outside of (cracked) DRM?
>Now I can watch videos in real time, without saturating my connection.
Which leads to "we will find ways of saturating the connection anyway" with other media or other things.
I see you have no problem with my statement that your butt expands to fit your chair.

A. Internet for people who know what they're doing
B. Everyone else.
I am not sure if I am against this or not. Part of me rages about the censorship. The other part says "meh, it was better when it took actual skill to hook up a modem and set up a BBS"
If I want to perform the ultimate denial of service - get the servers ripped out - all I have to do is create a stir in the press from the same hosting company that I want to target for my denial of service attack.
Slashdot Mirror
They have to show they have /something/ that takes away the impression that the next "real Nokia phone" is going to be released sometime Q2 2012.
But to everyone else with two brain cell to rub together knows that a mock-up is not a product.
Elop is an idiot. Not only did he piss everyone off including the developers and every single customer, but he /also/ did an Osborne.
Where is the outrage? Where are the shareholder lawsuits?

Your first part is not even an argument.
Your second part is false.
You are narrowing the subject down to video.
I said "other things"
I can fully saturate my bandwith with file sharing. I can fully saturate it more with more file sharing. While not always legal, this happens.
With multi-gigabit bandwidth cheap, we can also saturate the channel with VR games and whatnot.
Usage fills the space allowed. Always.

1. Data will always expand to fill drives no matter what size.
That data will be 90 percent porn. Higher capacities mean higher def. - ASCII in the old days to 3D High Def Stereo today.
2. Throughput will always expand to saturate the bus bandwidth.
That data will be 90 percent porn also. Higher capacities always meant higher def. From ASCII to gif and flv to 3D High Def Stereo.
Butts expand to fit the chairs they are in. This is what you get when watching porn all day.
