It's called being Detained. We can "detain" you indefinitely without saying you're under arrest. You can't leave. So it's arrest without rights. Ask a Gitmo inmate.

I don't care if you're okay with annihilating what little privacy remains in your own life. I'm not okay with you using your headset to remove mine. Go fuck yourself.
It's not just this. Where I live there actually other options but you can't subscribe to them because they've divided up large areas in to monopolies for various companies. For example, if I try to get Charter cable instead of Comcast and I go to Charter's site I get told "we don't service your area but Comcast does here let us redirect you to their order page". In other areas it's only Brighthouse or nothing. Comcast is by far the largest though.
How apt. It's too bad Americans can't see this but Germans can.
Why anyone ever thought Canonical wouldn't end up being vile shit bags? I have never liked Ubuntu specifically because it has a corporation tied to it
(arguably it was never really successful. I'll reference Bill Hicks for that)
"Now I'm no bleeding heart, okay? But, when you're walking
down the streets of New York City and you're stepping over
a guy on the sidewalk who, I don't know, might be dead...
does it ever occur to you to think 'Wow, maybe our system
doesn't work?' Does that thought ever bubble up out of you?"
have an allergy to anything that resembles socialism even if that's what they really want and don't know it (speaking as an American here). I just read an article somewhere yesterday that both Applebees and Chili's restaurant chains are replacing all of their waiters with a tablet based systems.
When there is no work for anyone left and we're all under total 24/7/365 surveillance then what? I can't have Amazon delivering packages to my non-existent residence since robots took our jobs
They're baiting the MPAA/RIAA by doing this. They're going to get sued by every agency that doesn't want something found be they torrents or unpopular political views. Slippery slope ready for action.
On it except for one very brief mention in the 2nd to last paragraph unlike The Register article calling it a Google patent... which since they own Motorola, it is. Slippery slopes indeed. From the article I'm linking, the patent filing .
You can find pirate copies with the audio already synced but you should donate to them anyway. It's a new release and hilarious.
Check it out I have no affiliation; I'm just a fan.
Because it's expensive, time consuming, and leaves people stranded.
Actually, all of them if you want to pay for it. I own a Roku XS 2 but I'm no longer a fan of the company after their last forced update now uses half the main menu for ads.
Although I'm surprised to hear this since my subscription expired in May and they have called me almost every day since then and sent multiple mailings and whatnot trying to get me to renew. I let them know in multiple "surveys" their tactics were not appreciated nor their treatment of paying customers and let their 'live' support reps know it too.
I only used it to get multiple activation keys for Windows 7 cheaper than I could find anywhere else which is exactly what they don't want you to do but they treat their customers like shit and keep pulling keys off that you were entitled to. I also used it to set up a Windows 8 pro test machine here at work so I knew to dodge that bullet in advance.
Still, this was supposed to be one of their methods for evangelizing the gospel of Microsoft. I remember in the 90's reading here on
Oh AG, not senator, my fault.
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
