We should do something about the bullies that are getting themselves elected, so they can take our lunch money, limit our freedoms and torture us from public office.
I wonder what they are going to do to those people who run windows 8. I believe the default option is to logon to your local pc using your windows live id.
Are they going to filter your pc 'for your protection'?
I'm going to take two sticks, on one I'll write TSA on the other DHS. As you wander around the airport, if you bang them together while shouting "I give up my rights for 'security'" it will cut your chances of being involved in a terrorist incident in half.
I know my parents used to watch it, but I thought it died years ago.
Every once in a while I see a short 15 second commercial that looks like those old news shows and they will say something like "Can the food you're eating kill you?!?!?!!? News at 6." This is usually followed by me pulling out my smart phone typing in a quick search and thinking, "no, I guess not, but I'm glad that someone was worried enough about me to pay for a commercial encouraging me to go to the net."
I started the transfer of my 4 domains yesterday 2011-12-29 13:32
I was to the "Pending Registry Approval" stage in less than an hour. That's the part where godaddy has to list the domains in my account control as pending transfer screen so I can hit the yes button.
Godaddy sat on that last step till 09:18 this morning.
I realize they can take a few days sometimes, but at that stage of the process all the hard part has been done and both new and bad... um old, registrars have communicated.
Shouldn't we be able to find someone on staff that can slip in a small clause that changes this rule to cover copyright instead of safe harbors then give him a high paying job later? I almost worked for them....
Lately I've been attempting to put my money where my mouth is and purchase from vendors that 'get it.' They don't waste money on things like DRM that could have gone towards making a better product, they don't use online validation for single player games, they don't extort money from people based on something as flimsy as an IP address, they provide a reasonable product for a reasonable price.
I buy a ton of e-books from oreilly.com, I buy my mp3s (not books) from Amazon, I bought the Louis CK video, I probably will buy the Humble Indie bundle when I get home, I don't buy from EA I probably will never buy another Sony product.
I intended to buy The Witcher when the first post came out, fortunately I saw something shiny and was distracted for a bit.

Who's "Stealing" your stuff?
"often before it even has the chance to be finished and released to the world"
Who has access to the pre-released material?
Either it's someone on staff that's "Stealing" it or maybe it's NINJAS.
We're focused on the wrong problem. It's not pirates, we should be looking for ninjas!
Jobs
How dare you imply they aren't "...as concerned about jobs as they profess to be..."
They are greatly concerned about jobs, their own jobs.
New Product Idea

Simple solution
Just make it illegal to be un-employed!
TV News still exists?

Chilling thought

Righthaven with the power of SOPA.....

Where do the seized domains go?
I may be mis-remembering, but don't the seized domains from the government shenanigans get sent to godaddy?
To me that was a stronger indicator of their involvement in all of this than words put out by marketing and sanitized by lawyers.
Charitable Component
"Yes, in this case it's after-the-fact, but it's still cool."
I would say that since it's after-the-fact, it's way more cool than if it were used as a pre-sales marketing point.
That was close...

It does show that the sCarrier IQ process is subscribed to each keystroke event and receives the data. (Keystrokes, URLs and Text messages Collected)
Its been shown that sCarrier IQ does connect to it's home servers and send/receive data.
I guess it's up to you if you trust them to do nothing with data they've collected.
