I'm an embedded engineer, and this what you are saying is completely non-relevant. RF noise generated by processor/IC noise is absolutely negligible when compared to noise generated by Wifi and other antennas, which happen to operate at different band frequencies than those used by commercial airplanes (I would imagine, barring awful design decisions).
Actually, Obama blew out McCain. > 7% of the popular vote and almost 200 electoral votes. One of the more lopsided elections in recent history (about the same as the amount Clinton won by)
"Also, you can use HTML code to prevent your photographic works from being used as public domain."
What does this even mean? Sounds like you are talking about HTML-based photograph DRM, which I can assure you either a) does not exists, b) does not work
Alright, you almost sound ready to make concessions so I'll ask you:
Do you think patents (and their duration's) are more appropriate in some industries than others? You jump to talking about the pharmaceutical industry but do you think new smartphones and tablets would stop appearing if we no longer allowed patents on software and aesthetic design (x inch rectangular tablet with rounded edges)?
I got through SFO all the way on to my plane back to Seattle with somebody else's boarding pass once. When I pointed out that I had someone elses boarding pass they freaked out and treated me like a criminal.
In fact I'd almost say that flagging/reporting without removing the post brings more attention to the comment then it would receive normally, as they are clearly distinctive and stand out.
It's almost like flagging it brings it to the top of search results, so your auto-complete comparison is IN MY OPINION flawed.
And now I'll stop before anyone points out how I'm being swept in to an argument with a likely troll. There's no argument like no argument.
It says this comment was flagged by the community. It hasn't been removed, and most people (myself included) choose to expand and read them. Even though the comments themselves are irritating.
People(myself included) buy music/art even when they know they have the means to obtain that music/art for free. I sure as hell don't pay for it out of fear of legal retribution.
I'll also opine that you missed the man's point. Your argument is littered with fallacy.
It seems like its happened days ago. I'm just going to guess that "ratings" and other numbers relating to the Olympics are going to be very poor for the USA this year and they'll end up blaming it on piracy. I've noticed a ton of people aren't following because they have no way to watch it, and as a result of that the hype is pretty low.
We have basic cable, which only has one channel covering the olympics, and which tends to be some event I do not want to watch. Thanks NBC
Let me start of by saying I've owned every Blizzard game since the original Warcraft. That said, D3s DRM is a pain in the ass. If you follow it, the DRM really hasn't done anything to stop cheating either. The RM Auction House seems like a huge failure, mainly because of the practices / types of people and bots its attracting to play the game.
I got sick of D3 very quickly, mainly because it was D2. There have been duping hacks, account takeovers, invincible heroes, and a ton of irritating server issues. Plus you can't play true single player which was a huge issue at my last house where the internet sucked.
D3 is probably the last Blizzard game I ever buy. The real money Auction house was a shitty idea that came about because Blizzard didn't want to make a game that was good enough to demand a subscription fee, but still wanted some extra sustained income (pseudo-subscriber model). Before I stopped playing I cleared through Act 2 on Inferno. It was still pretty fun but I couldn't afford anything and I had a number of disconnection issues (when primarily played alone)
You think the Framers intended songs to still be under copyright 60+ years after their release? If you're going to act like a constitutional scholar, provide some reasoning.
Something being lawful is different than it being moral, economically stimulating/useful, or acceptable by society.
Re: What I pay for
To a lot of people this sounds like what you are paying for is "better service." In this case better means "without tracking and advertising."
imho

You might work in the "Aviation Industry" but you don't know anything about physics or engineering. Don't pretend to.

Unfortunately in the two-party system, a vote for the Green party will statistically be a vote for Romney. (or maybe .6-1 vote)
