Even if it is not an option for most. It IS an option for some. This is not about OR/OR this is about AND/AND.
Most of the time I do use it on one monitor. Sometimes I use it on multiple windows. I like to be able to choose when I want to choose, not when the developers think I should.
Belgium has it. The source to read them is available. IDs must be on your person at all times.
However the abuse that goes on is not about these cards. It is about police officers abusing the database and look into famous people or more troublesome, ex-life-partners.
The fact that this is known to the public is already a step in the good direction.
There are others out there. Has it finally come to it that people can only gasp the concept of pro or contra?
And isn't choice a GOOD thing?
I don't run either as a Desktop and am grateful there are others that do what I want it to do. I do run KDE and GNOME programs as well as any other that does what I want.
as long as I am not able to select my own login AND password. I have a multitude of different logins that were given to me and that I can not change. I have been given a multitude of passwords that I am unable to change, because I am not the only one to use that specific login.
Also have more then one security key.
Oh and I need to change some of them each month. I could easily remember a 32 character password. But not if I need to change it every month AND if I need to remember anywhere between 10-30 AND need to know what login it belongs to AND some can't be that long.
So sure, you can blame the human. However that IS a factor that will not go away. And as long as logins and password are basically a "Hey, I tried to protect the data, so I am safe"-thing for IT people, nothing will change.
To often I see people that are resposible for the security try to find a technological solution for the social problem. Security is not a technical issue. It is a social process.

Please do not underestimate goodness of the copyright system. If it were not for that, we would not have had the great and original stories as told in I Robot, I am legend, Total Recall, Starship Troopers or even Cinderella
I mean, who else but those companies could come up with such great stories.
When is it a good idea to inform the FBI of a crime?
I would say: never. Once reported a child porn site and I had to come to the police office where they wanted to charge me with obstruction of the law, spreading child porn and and fraud.
They asked to come by calling my employer and telling him they needed to speak to me concerning a child porn case. Yes I had used the companies computer to report it.
Luckily I could convince the police they were idiots and luckily the people at my company where intelligent enough to understand what was going on and even offered a lawyer if anything would come of it.
If it would have been anybody else, they might have been convicted of a crime not done or at least lost their job, because of how the police informed them.
The company even told me (after a 20 second explanation) that if I wanted, they would protect my identity as long as possible.
The police (and other law institutes) already think you are guilty. They will be even more convinced if you tell them anything they think you should not know.
I could imagine that if there is a No-Fly-Zone and a War-Zone, they turn it off. If there is a civilian aircraft in that area, being accidentally hit by another plane is least of their problems.
won't post their prices, because they're not anywhere near competitive.
I would say they ARE competitive.
A guy walks into a store and asks what the price for potatoes is. 2,50EUR a kilo. "That is crazy, the store around the corner only ask 25 cents a kilo". + "Go buy there", says the store owner. - "They don't have anything left" + That's just crazy If I don't have anything left, my prices drop to 15 cents per kilo
Say I am a kidnapper. Do you think that I would care whether your kid has ID, a cellphone and a personal tracer? I will still take your kid. If it is for money, those items will be easier for me to determine the price. If it is for personal lust, then those items could be seen as trophies or as lust.
In Belgium many kids have ID cards and phones. Kids still disappear. The majority because they run away from home. Then there are those that are kidnapped by the other parent.
The absolute minority gets kidnapped, raped and murdered (single digits in numbers, not even percentages) by strangers.
Most abuse towards children AND adults is by people they know. There also those cards won't help anything.

Before that there were tapes. Before that, music sheets were copied.
The music industry is not loosing. It is playing the underdog that it is loosing an industry they created on the basis of imaginary rules.
Before that people just copied songs all the time by hearing them and singing them together.
Batch processing is available. Scripts will be re-written for 2.8

You think I have a girlfriend? You must be new her.
Ripping by companies? Perfectly OK.
Ripping by people? Shoot them and take their money.

You sure? I only got the last words: Burma Shave.
Yes, they are worried about Google as well. People can worry about more then one thing.
Worst is that we don't even HAVE a government that we can overthrow, like e.g. Egypt.
They clearly want to have the cookie AND eat it too.
Silver stock just went up. Thanks for posting this.
