You know absolutely nothing about the Middle Ages, which is understandable since you're a clueless fecalmasturbator loserboy nerd. An education outside the Church was impossible back then not because it was illegal but because of costs - and the fact that your average peasant had other things to worry about. Reading and writing wasn't necessary to the populace anymore that mastering astrophysics is now. The education provided was completely outside the needs and wants of the majority. You would need it if you were a nobleman or a member of the Church, but that was it. So it was either being born noble or become a Church member. No Thought Police needed at all. The situation was unlike what we have now where wilful ignorance is rife and knowledge of certain topics may label you a "terr-ow-reest". It has more to do with Stalin's USSR than with the European Middle Ages. But you're a fecalmasturbatory zitfaced basement dweller so you can't know it. Shit on your own face and drown in feces.
What is information good for, if you can't act on it? Go on, do something, they'll scream "Ill-ee-gul!" or "teh CHILDREN!" or "ZOMG TERR-OW-REESM" and pepper-spray you out of the way. Sitting in the dark knowing you have no control over your life and having the evidence that spells it out on a screen is not "power", just as it is not "power" knowing the exact mass of the hammer that is going to crush you into a pulp.
Yeah, but who will want to pay an outrageous price for your tablet if it's just a picture of a boring old ziggurat?
iPad buyers settled for less than that. Go figure.

SOPA is the kind of escalation that will have consequences the proponents of that bill do not understand... yet.
Unless those consequences include selective assassination of those proponents and their families, wholesale destruction of their property and massive extermination of the personnel working for them, they do not care. They simply have to bribe the lawmakers into making anything not beyond a paywalled garden illegal, and they will have their cake (paid by us) and eat it too.
Nice fantasy, fecalmasturbator loserboy nerd. I bet you wish it could be true, while you jerk away in the darkness typing on a semen-encrusted keyboard the accounts of your fictional life.
Then aerobrake, you loserboy nerd. Jupiter happens to have a ginormous atmosphere that kinda lends itself to stunts like these. You'll need fuel anyway afterwards to circularize your orbit and then transfer, but it's your run-of-the-mill rocket science.
Again, the solution is simple. If you can't match the corporation by financial means, use the alternative: violence. Target the corporate heads and their families, there's no amount of money that can raise the dead. You can't lobby very well when you're six feet under.
There's worse. When you place a dwarf hamster in a cage with other dwarf hamsters, they immediately perform a blood test on the newcomer. Any reaction at all, they torch it.
Did I ask for your opinion? DID I ASK FOR YOUR FUCKING USELESS OPINION? You turdbrained pedophile geek, you can't even spell properly and yet you feel the knee-jerk impulse to spout out diarrhea that you probably believe are the product of rational thinking.
High tech fiction? Higher-tech events? SF is not about TECH, it's about SCIENCE. Do you believe we should classify as "not-SF" all the Golden Age literature because it didn't have teh interwebz? Probably yes, because you're a stupid kid endlessly masturbating in your own feces while jerking off your PSP with semen-encrusted fingers. I was about to suggest you read some Bradbury, but you're probably unable to read.
SF tales that require massive amounts of energy, antigravity and so on also provide at least an attempt to explain them in scientific terms. "Lasers that can be dodged" only belong in TV and movies and are a SFX trap. As I suspected, you're nothing but a fecalmasturbatory nonperson who thinks a "book" is the printout from a Kindle file.
Yes, BSG is set in the past - more than 100'000 years ago. Now bend over backwards and piss up your nostrils while I shit on your face.
Good science fiction should be nothing more then a compelling and interesting plot set at some point in the future, period.
So, The Terminator (set in the then-present) and the reimagined Battlestar Galactica (set in the distant past) would NOT be SF? You stupid, stupid, stupid loserboy nerd. SF is not determined by the time period the story is set in, it's determined by the fact that it's a story about people (when it's good narrative at least) in a situation different from the here and now, in which said situation is scientifically plausible. You fail Heinlein, you fail Brown, you fail Simak; in short you FAIL. Wedgie yourself, I can't be bothered.
Ah, the Twike... You don't know if you want to love it or hate it. It's got this lean, aircraft-cockpit shape that makes you want to take one for a ride - a black, finned one, of course - and see how it feels. On the other hand, you have this urge of taking up a M2 and pump it full of.50 cal death, screaming "DIE, YOU BASTARD, DIE!" and then torching the remains and axe-murdering any survivor.
Europeans are monsters. Beneath the oh-so-civilized façade lies a slavering wild beasts waiting to tear apart and rip to pieces anyone unfortunate enough to come nearby. It's like the Thing from The Thing, without SFX. Ah, and by the way the EU did not prevent any war in Europe - the fact that the USSR would utterly devour the whole of Western Europe given half a chance kept them in check. That and the lack of a casus belli.
Ha! Loserboy nerd, try to program on the MITS Altair 8800! No fancy keyboard or VDUs, real jocks enter their programs by throwing switches and read the output on blinking lights!
I can't wait for 99% of IT workers to become redundant. Their new, exciting jobs as burger flippers and trash haulers will cause the rest of us much mirth.:)
Yeah, right. I personally think they should stop providing free emergency calls to people who happen to be in danger, especially since the danger is in no way the responsability of the provider. Allowing people to dial 911 for free is KOMUNYZIM.
"You have a truncheon/gun, I have a camera" leads to "I have a broken skull, you have a truncheon/gun AND a camera". Violence - especially state-sanctioned violence - trumps everything. Unless you're armed and prepared to use your weapons, the moment a cop/private security agent comes along and demands to have your camera, your only choice is to comply or get beaten up.
Face it, unless you're very well prepared, and you have a smartcamera-like app on a phone, and hence you're streaming the video for someone else to record, your evidence will be seized and destroyed - along with yourself. And even then, there's plenty of ways to jam the wireless, and those ways will be used. There's only one way to meet violence, and it's with more violence. Gandhi is long dead, and so is the age he lived in. The free press has long died, the Fourth Power is in the hands of shareholders who decide what you will see and know. The internet is going to be reshaped into intermarketnet. Today the likes of Gandhi would be "disappeared" quietly and the word "terr-ow-reesm" would be used to silence any opposition.
You want change, you target the people responsible for this state of things and you KILL them. Them and their families. No amount of money can raise the dead.
Ah, the NutterTroll. Wondered where you had been. But just out of curiosity, why hide behind anonymity? If you want to enrage people, get a proper nickname and give them someone to vent their impotent rage against. Come on, man up. And try to bring up some new arguments, I don't even use the old "beat up nerd and shit on their faces afterwards" that much anymore unless I want to do some vintage stuff.
Chump change. Arrest any fecesbook official in Germany and deport them to Bergen-Belsen. Occupy all European countries hosting anything related to fecesbook, round up the persons involved and deport them as well. Let them taste Zyklon-B. Send a Totenkopf Death Squad to the US to apprehend this Zuckerberg guy and deport him. Work will set him free. This is the German thing to do.
The US is 'an armed society' and my impression is that it is anything but a 'polite society'.
Switzerland is both an armed society and a polite society. Of course, they also have better education and a militia army system, which means people actually know how their firearms work.

Don't underestimate the cluelessness of the average buyer and the Hitleresque convincing ability of marketing.

Ow. That was kind of low...
Not as low as he would fall if he tried to get up.
How many zebras, antelopes and gazelles do you want to fit into one, seriously?
they collect money for sheet music too.
Yeah, not just for shit music.
