"Samsung has detected that you have placed unlicensed food items in your refrigerator - would you like us to place an Amazon Prime order for DRM-approved produce, or would you like to purchase the Farm-to-Table expansion that allows you to keep non-RFID tagged foodstuffs?"
so $40 for hardware, $20 for accessories, and $210 of training - which would be inferior to a few minutes of Googling due to the speed this niche moves... then call it 55% off and charge only $120, brilliant!
You guys can call it the 'cool stuff dept.' if you like, but FFS don't attach the words 'good deal' anywhere near this.
Adding to my previous comment - in this day and age, any cloud service provider that doesn't have a very up-front bold-typeface statement that they will not release your data without a full court order after notifying the user in time for challenges cannot get any money from me.
essentially they say they will retain your info for duration of your account (which would be lifetime in this case) and will share/sell it to anyone they want to - and will gladly share your files with anyone who claims to have a legal interest in them.
YES- I went full cord-cutter with a Plex server and some automation tools for media collection. My whole extended family got Chromecast dongles for Xmas and they all love it.
i think it would be fair to say 5 years or so, at the lowest, 20 years at the most. Otherwise you would get creepy assholes trying to capitalize on the surge of recognition for the dead person when the death is publicized.
Imagine if right now people were able to use Robin Williams to advertise something he wasn't involved in.
the old idea for this was that since the Speaker is put up by his party members, if they went against the will of the party enough, they would be replaced.
nowadays though, every one of them is too much of a pussy to stick their neck out and try to fix something like this.
so... just to make sure i have the math correct here...
These emails are very close to a smoking gun that could get AG's and the MPAA in serious legal shit.
These emails were pilfered in a hacking attack which is claimed (and some proof has been found) by a group funded by North Korea.
NK instigated this attack on Sony to try and pressure Sony Pictures to halt the release of The Interview, a comedy about journalists assassinating Kim Jong Un.
So if this pans out, fucking Seth Rogan and James Franco will be responsible for the downfall of the MPAA?!?!?!
While i get the gist of your point, i really don't think anyone in the old or new Russia would be any type of foil for this bullshit. Can you imagine them lecturing us on torture?
and you would maybe have a leg to stand on if the telcos and cable runners haven't demonstrated a long history of shady reporting and billing, horrible customer service, regulatory capture, and exploitative monopolistic intent.
No one would be screaming about regulations if the companies involved acted like they gave 2 shits about their customers.
I didn't think it was possible to type while plugging your ears and burying your head in the sand, guess i was wrong.
No one does these things BECAUSE if they tried, the REGULATIONS they are subject to would quickly remove them from their natural monopoly position.
But keep telling us how the telcos would never do something like take massive tax money infusions to build out a better network and then not build anything... oh wait- they did that.. several times even...
The 'theoretical' problems you talk about are either really happening already in smaller scale, or are part of PUBLICLY AVAILABLE future plans. The one the telcos openly admit to having. God help us from the secret bullshit.
its so refreshing when the shills identify themselves with proper references.
Daniel, your argument follows the same barebones structure as the NRA's for the last decade... "this solution isn't absolutely perfect so it should never even be considered". Fast forward to current, and not only has nothing been done about the issue, but the bickering over it has grown into a ridiculous partisan screaming match with both sides abandoning reason entirely.
The thing i see missing from all of the anti-neutrality arguments is the explanation for why all of their parade of horribles that come along with a neutral interconnection policy haven't already happened. We have had a neutral internet (for the most part) by default for almost all users because of the rate of tech adoption being fast enough that no company had time to corner any markets and impose their monopolistic will before the next jump in speeds/delivery methods forced them to upgrade the whole network. Every time neutrality has been broken/bent so far has been a negative effect.
EVERY TIME.
TL;DR - The crux of neutrality is just codifying what has already been the nature of things since the 'net was born. Anyone arguing against it is either ignorant on the subject, or advocating the subjugation of users. Keep the free and open internet.
i'm sorry, but that is just flat bullshit. A performance being public or private has zero to do with whether it was paid for in the first place. Either it is public or private, period. You can then address whether that performance was authorized or not - two distinctly separate issues.
