Tell that to the President.

Google has been pretty good about discussing compromises and offering a host of 2FA techniques. Google is in no means 100% transparent, but after the Chinese hacking attack on dissidence, and the Snowden stuff, Google has stepped up on security options and access notifications.

It's because pirates weren't customers to begin with. With out piracy the alternative to 99% of people pirating is just not seeing the movie.

Also, because they have the patent, no other company can make a phone with that feature even if they wanted too (well with out paying apple), thus locking the entire market out from having the safety feature in their phones.

It's all about physical isolation, and mass.

1. Stagger your studs on shared walls. This will mean that the sound hitting his wall and your wall won't pass through the shared studs.
2. Sound isolating drywall. It's not that much more expensive than regular drywall. Its heavier and has a membrane sandwiched in between: http://www.quietrock.com/
3. Hat Channels and clips. The clips get screwed to the studs and the hat channel sits on the clips. The channel sits on the clips, and the drywall is screwed to the channel. This means sounds hitting the wall will not transfer to the studs (and vice versa)

4. Wrap your electrical boxes for outlets and switches with quiet putty, seal up and joits where air can move with acoustic sealant. Anyplace air can move, sound will leak through.

5. Fill the walls with insulation. The more mass you can cram in there, and the more airflow you can stop the better.. regular R-21 will work.
6. Double up your flooring. Put acoustic sealant between the layers. Get a mass loaded under rug foam pad.

I did this all to my TV room, cost about $600. I can crank it up in there, and it can't be heard in the rest of the house.. Its on the second floor above the kids room

You are not an engineer.

I can perform first aid and can identify certain illnesses. I don't call myself a Dr or even a nurse.

The separation of church and state is way more clear in the constitution then wording of the 2nd amendment.

A free market solution never worked in the Jim Crow south and it wont work now. Sure if you live in a big city or town, if one shop refuses to serve you, you can go to another, but what happens to a person who is in the minority who lives or visits a small town that is predominantly made up of religious bigots? There may be one gas station, one food market, one diner? Should the minority have to leave town to protect the rights of the bigoted religious majority?

Also, will the religious rights head explode when Muslims try to use their faith in the same way the Christians are trying too?

Why not have some high end desktops or servers, and use remote desktop software while handing out mid range laptops? Why must you heavy computing be done locally? There are a lot of solutions to remote computing.

The newspapers with go toe to toe with the Pentagon, CIA, and NSA, but will back down from a nasty letter from Sony with no legal standing? Right.

To bad the courts believe the cops' word with out any needed external evidence and get all benefit of doubt, and any claim by a citizen makes needs to be substantiated with evidence. Its kinda one sided.

I hope this means they know people are watching now, and there will be media in the air for when the verdict is read.

CurrentC wants a link right into your checking account. Sounds real safe. What happens when there is an issue? How long does it take to fixed botched transactions? What liability is there? How happy are the banks going to be working with them?

I'll stick to Apple and Google's model.

If you get googles 2 factor and run the authenticator app on ios or andriod you will not get the text messages, keeping you safe.

So when an idiot gets clearance, there is no one to blame? Remember the finger pointing after Snoden (not that he's an idiot) No more of that blame game with this! Problem solved.
