Wait... wouldn't requiring a credit card to login make it a lot easier for phishers like you to steal credit card info? I'm beginning to suspect you might have some ulterior motives for this "security" suggestion. Either that, or you are an utterly brilliant troll.
I created accounts for my imaginary friends... this makes it very easy for me to remember how their pictures are captioned! Now if I can just get them to stop criticizing my status updates, I'll be all set!
Monster Cable is missing out on a lucrative opportunity -- their customer list of people stupid enough to pay big bucks for crap like this would be worth a FORTUNE to most other companies!
If you can type reasonably fast then the only time you would need it is when you're typing one-handed... and that's the time you'd be least likely to want other people to know what your facial expression looks like!
It seems to me there should be at least 1 seat in every theater for which the focus distance and convergence distance is the same. I always try to sit in the exact center of the theater. Note that by Murch's standards, stereo sound in a theater doesn't "work" either!
Everybody knows the dating sites all hire professional models and photographers for those "actual member" photos used to publicize the site. Why would they want to ruin their reputation by using some of their real member's creepy photos?
So you're suggesting that the movie studios intentionally leak copies of their movies that when it gets to the "good part" suddenly cut off the audio and/or video? Hmm... that does sound perfectly legal and even moral. The question is, would it increase movie sales?
Don't most torrent sites have rating systems or comments? Don't most downloaders actually check the rating before downloading? Sure, anybody can post a file, but it only takes one downloader to notice that it's crap and alert all the others. The torrents actually downloaded by users are seldom fake. Of course, this report is probably FUD by rights holders in the first place.
The new company pursuing the claims, GCB, is a dormant company that was "borrowed" from a friend by none other than... Andrew Crossley. It's real owner, David Fisher, now disavows any connection and advises anyone who received a demand letter from GCB to ignore it. (See the techdirt article for more info.) So while publicly proclaiming he was "no longer persuing" file downloader, Crossley was in fact still persuing them, but trying to obfuscate who was actually responsible.
Fault-tolerant computers have been around since 1951, and are already used in the Space Shuttle and many other applications. All I'm suggesting is scaling them to use a higher number of smaller, less reliable components to achieve the same level of reliability.
True; the first thing I have to do with every new prebuilt computer is uninstall the Norton 30-day trial and install Microsoft Security Essentials. But does the bribes the company gets for preinstalling trial software really exceed the money they pay for the Windows 7 license?
A new Chevy engine can be removed from you car and resold for a significant amount of money. Try reselling the Windows license that came with your computer and see what happens...

But... all the picture on my page are pictures of people's butts, and quite frankly, I've forgotten which butt goes with which name!

Chuck Close, is that you?
Holy shit, facebook makes people mouth-breathing stupid.
You appear to be confusing the cause and the effect.

ROFLMAO...
You mean you haven't yet assigned keyboard macros for all possible lengths? What a wanker!

I think the author(s) of the article are confused... they very well may be confusing "uploading" with "seeding".
I'd just like to say, "thank you!"

The "eleven" isn't a sequence number, it's Clooney's penis size...
They are planning on using the performance capture technology from Avatar to superimpose Keanu Reeve's face on somebody who can actually act!
My strategy of never having either a PayPal or Facebook account appears to have paid off!

I'm so fugly there is no way they would ever choose my pic for an ad... plus, I don't even have a Facebook account!
Sarah Palin uses Twitter... what kind of people do you expect to find there?

You damn smelly hippie! Why don't you cut your hair and get a job!
