... then don't give it to them. It's as plain and simple as that, and goes for any company/person.
Big Box companies that refuse to take your money don't deserve your money.
When you start WGA setup and get to the license agreement page but decided NOT to install...
Doesn't this mean that you do not agree to the license agreement? Wouldn't that also mean that anything in the license agreement that would make this "legal" become null and void, since you did not agree to it?
If you decide to speak out in the future about political indecencies and thousands of people have access to your fingerprint records with sufficient motives to quash your voice, then will you be worried?
The editors should be more careful with their phraseology.
The problem is that most of the news editors ARE careful with their phraseology.... stealing (copyrighted music) is much more visible than violating (music copyright), even if it is not at all the same thing in the eyes of the law.
How can normal, non-technical people hope to have a chance of understanding our new world of today and the laws being applied to it?
Quite frankly, in many cases, they can't. The government (lobbyists) further exacerbate the FUD by choosing slick names like 'Net Neutrality' to make it even harder for grampy to determine which side they are on. This is what the lobbyists want. They make it extremely hard to decide which side you are on, they control the media and the content, allowing them to lead the flock exactly where they want them. Sure a few sheep will get out of line, but in a 'democracy' you only need majority control...
What I *really* would like to see is how many times they repeated this experiment before someone said they have Deja Vu... with the most likely answer being '2'.
The great labs of this era--Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, and IBM's labs--were places with massive budgets, where the world's top scientists were invited to pursue "blue sky" research into areas with no immediately apparent commercial applications.
Companies like these are still around today, we just call them patent trolls...
A problem with this statement is that it is *theoretically* possible to read short-range RFID tags at longer distances. There are already companies (and hackers) creating tools to read at distances of around 25 feet for active RFIDs and 10ft. for passive. RFID Readers can also emit signals out to 100 feet to activate the card, although they cannot read it. Since short-range readers are relatively small, you could work as a team, 1 person pushing out an activation signal at ranges of 100+ feet away, and another person waiting in line or walking next to you to read the information.
And to think, all this time I thought over-sized, over-powered automobiles were the main source of pollution, and the fact that there is absolutely no push to make alternative energy more available, efficient and cheaper was the main reason energy is being depleted, and power is going out on an interstate basis. Thanks congress, for putting taxpayers money on the important stuff: Recommending people buy efficient parts for their computers.
Although a great system, I wonder how long it will take someone to hack this system and send out a shout out to his hacker buddies and their 295 million friends?
Now they need to make knives out of it and have Ron Popeil endorse it!
"For a limited time, I will throw in a Poultry Cooker Ray-Gun. And all for only 13 easy payments of $2,234.99!"
Either way, it's still a crap piece of legislation.
What, from the government, isn't crap nowadays? Gay Marriage, Net Neutrality, Immigration Reform, The War on/in __FILL IN THE BLANK__, NSA, RIAA, DCMA and other assorted acronyms, the Patriot Act... and the list goes on. It would be a hard pressed waste of time to try to think of 5 things coming out of washington that wasn't pure unadulterated bull in the last few months/years. They are all intended to SOUND good, and get passed because the unsuspecting, illiterate and just plain stupid public see words like 'Patriot' and 'Neutrality' and think 'oh man, that sounds great, give me more of that!'. When in reality, they have no true idea of what the bill/legislation is set to reform/change/take away.
There's more than 1 way to skin a cat, and in the end, the cat's not going to like any of them.
Whether or not they stole the phone or not, possession of stolen property is just as much a crime as the actual theft. Thieves like these people need to be sent to a country where the crime of theft is a loss of extreminities. I for one am tired of working 9-5, 5 days a week, only to find that some jask*ss wants to spend 35 seconds throwing a rock through my car window to steal all they can and destroy everything they cannot. I hate thieves just as much as I hate the government... oh wait, they are the same thing, right?

I hope I don't get in trouble for telling that girl the other day that I wanted a Fig Newton.
When you are talking about the US Court systems... yes

I can see a use for this in 2027.

BUT, it had only one program that when you pulled the string you got responses like "The cow goes MOOO!" Long live the talking wheel!

A high-tech game of pick-pocket.
