Maybe these publishers should just stop publishing their books for public consumption and become a team of oral instructors for hire. That would be a great way to guarantee a revenue stream.
"You want to know about the Periodic Table of elements? We'd be happy to tell you for $400. And if you forget, we'd be even happer to come back and tell you again for the new low price of $250!
In the end what's the point of rigging a piece of equipment like that so securely that an error could brick it, however temporarily? It's no surprise that theaters are taking the easy route, and punishing the movie watching experience as a result.
Why isn't Sony thinking of all of the corn farmers who will be out of work because of their great strides in making theater-going such a crummy experience?
Whatever our Presidents say on the stump as candidates are just words compared to the power that we have endowed them with. All it has taken the past few decades is some rhetoric about "security", and an enemy to point a finger at and even the most humble leader believes in their heart that they trample our liberties in order to save us from the monsters under the bed.

YOU CANNOT PROVE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT WITH AN IP ADDRESS!

FF peaked at 16 bits. Ever since, the franchise has focused on the visually stunning, but somewhat banal, whingings of androgynous protagonists between combats involving weird monsters and your weirder allies.
I mean really FF13? Two robo-chicks who turn into a motorcycle? I may be getting too old for this.
If we followed the Sterne's Sytem of election, folks of a certain age would stop voting for candidates, and start voting against candidates to leverage their negative scores.
Not to mention that experience is not a blanket attribute. While I am sure many of our current Senators have plenty of experience in politics, they appear to have zip when it comes to modern technology.
