Because we can get nothing better, and because we cannot improve our situation in any way due to the deathgrip companies have on our government and media.
In other words, we put up with it because we know it's only going to get worse as time goes on, and we might as well enjoy what we can now before they strip it from it.
No, it's more like all of the world, where the person with less clout, power, and money is always at fault, and WILL die. This isn't going to change. Just avoid everything.
Even if you do that, you'll find yourself screwed for life, blacklisted, in prison, or end up dead in a "tragic accident", all of which means homelessness and death within a year or so. People above you have too much to lose. Don't even try for such dangerous jobs.
There is no way in hell there will be restitution for it. He'll be lucky if he makes it out of prison or the courts NOT in the bodybag. People who make a lot of noise often get in "accidents" in prison, you know...
It is the ex-employee's problem if the employer has bigger pockets or the ability to lock you up in pound me in the ass or death by inmate prisons indefinitely.
You easily could, but you're not the one paying the (processing, at least) electric bills, and the huge cost is spread out over hundreds of thousands of contributors, so while it really uses a huge amount of electricity and money, the average user running it is only going to see a relatively small increase in cost of electricity, making it that much more likely that they'll contribute, whereas you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a way to get 68 million for any reason.
More than likely, if it's that bad that you'd end up investigated or arrested or even "disappeared" it's not worth it. If they've managed to keep it hidden, they can cover it up and blame you for falsifying if they want to.
Just don't do it. If they're corrupt enough that what you say exists really exists, they'll either trip up and fall into the public eye, or destroy you and have people rally to their side, not yours.
You can use logmein or other vnc apps to control torrent programs on your computer. Better ban that. You could control it through a webui using safari. Better ban that too. Wait, you could set up a script to control it with a phone call or email! Better ban the phone and mail apps, just to be sure.
Except with the technology the government has now, they can destroy anyone they want with the push of a button. Accidental sex offender registration and said person is likely to be killed by vigilantes, and anyone going against the system, it's just as easy to destroy them.
We no longer have any hope of getting any better. And all governments around the world are now the same.
It's too late to turn back. The common, honest people are fucked.
Either use a properly secure (i.e., end-to-end encrypted, proxied, indirect, padded, anonymous, etc.) p2p network, or better, do it in the open, so you can either disappear silently or quickly be held up as an example and destroyed quickly to discourage others from doing the same thing you did, which may eventually end up being speaking out against the government.
Fixed that for you. If the government is going to crack down on you for using proxies, you'd better bet they'd make as much as an example of you to show what happens to those who toe the government's line.
It's not the government's fault if on the way to court you end up tripping onto a spike through your shoulder, an officer's gun accidentally discharges through your foot, or some guy accidentally spills lighter fluid all over your clothes while lighting a cigarette, you know...
DLC on the 360 is licensed to two things: The first console that downloaded it or has the rights for it consolidated to it, and the gamertag that purchased it.
So you could buy, say, an arcade game on your friend's console, and then still be able to play it on your own as long as you remain signed in to XBL on consoles that weren't the first.
More likely, increased transparency will make businesses more likely to only hire those with spotless records, given that there are so many people out there, and you likely don't need to hire someone who has an imperfect record when there are already so many applicants.
What nation's uniform was he wearing when he was captured?
Yeah...didn't think so. He's not a soldier of any sort; referring to him as such is an insult to those who are. He's an unlawful combatant. He should consider himself lucky he didn't get a bullet to the head when he was captured.
So then, when he did get captured, he should be tried as a common criminal, in a court of law like other criminals, correct? Or is this a special case in which he shouldn't be afforded basic rights for fighting against the US?
I've developed the habit of whenever I am doing anything I know someone will object to strenuously but is fully within my legal rights of printing out the relevant statutes and carrying them with me. Hasn't failed me yet.
Right up until they torch your document and haul you off to PMITA prison.

You think they won't just up and shoot you in the head on arrival at the airport for your troubles as an example?

What the hell happened?
Human nature to screw over each other as much as possible.

Same thing happens here too. If you do it, you end up dead or worse. If you don't do it, you end up dead or worse.
This is why it's best to avoid human contact as much as possible.
Google already does that with Android

Rediculous.
You forgot another hotdog.
Don't worry, Slashdot has people well trained to function in those conditions.
Fixed that for you.

You can't spell retard without r and d!

Of course they wouldn't do that.
They'd use that fact as leverage to extract whatever they want from you first.

but the current "socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor"-system has to go.
You're a fool if you think this system will ever end.
