Let's note that it's a hypothetical weapon of an enemy of certain interests, much like Iraq's WMD..
I feel a hint of hypocrisy when the US officials talk about Chinese hackers attacking the US infrastructure, when the only documented attack was done by the US..
Why downloading a copy of the same data is piracy when you bought the original (or in their terms, bought a 'license' for the book) already?
What's the difference between paying the company the price and downloading from their store, and paying the company the price and downloading it from somewhere else? (aside from the saved bandwidth)
I read in the article that the cops have to turn it on before responding to a call, which seems a good solution.
Between calls, they can charge the cam and upload the videos in the car.
Using the camera should be mandatory, and cops who respond to calls but missing the corresponding recording should be severely sanctioned.
Credit should be on the civilian's side in this cases, since the cop had the opportunity to provide video evidence of the encounter, but choose not to.
My reply was to silverscarcat's ridiculous assumption that pc gamers like DRM.
People apparently not fed up with it enough to boycott drmed games, but that's far from liking it. And yes, a few publishers are notoriously ignoring it's fan base, and listens only to their wallet.
"Because I hear people going "Oh, DRM isn't so bad, look at Steam, it's got DRM, it's good." and "PC games have had DRM forever now, just suck it up and deal with it.""
Steam is indeed has DRM. I personally hate it. I hate more the fact that you don't own your games you buy on steam (or at least they like to pretend you don't)
That aside, it's the least invasive and annoying DRM I ever saw.
It doesn't mean it's good, it means the others are even crappier.
"No, it's not. Maybe you've never heard of it, but PC gamers call themselves the "Master Race" when it comes to gaming."
Oh, you watch memebase too? Pretty reliable news source.
Newsflash, what you talk about is the loud minority of pc gamers. The rest of us just don't give a crap about what piece of iron the rest of the world is playing on.
I'd like to point out, that this loud minority exists in both the xbox and ps community too, barking at each other.
"Seriously, just google search "PC Master Race" and you'll see what I'm talking about."
Let me introduce you to MEMEs. They do not necessarily contain any reasonable thoughts. AKA: joke.
What do you think, if people turn against the NSA in any meaningful way, how long does it take to a conveniently timed, high profile "terrorist" attack on the US to happen?
