Life is streamed in the form of a continual inflow of photons to receptors on our retina. From that point of view everything we see is streamed. What a crappy poll indeed.

Or digital television streamed via a satellite dish. Surely that's "streamed media"?
It's their right to do this though. It's their content, paid for by them and produced by them. They should be able to put any restrictions they like on where they can sell it. I do not believe though that they should be allowed to prevent people from using their own personal equipment to copy bits to other equipment. Copyright shouldn't exist.
Of course, because one of the conditions of entry is that such dangerous things are not done. That's called property rights and is a core part of freedom.
You cannot have freedom if the means to acquire it to remove some freedoms. That makes no sense.
Your government forces you to pay for the police system and the many spy systems in place, and you have to pay *again* to find out how they've been using your money to spy on you.
Land of the free indeed. How did you let your government gain so much control?
Funding NASA by voluntary payment instead of compulsion is the only ethical way.
This tells us that getting a sensor is repeatable. There are high-level design details of eyes that are divergent across species. The "blind spot" is a flaw in the eye design that is shared by all vertebrates, but cephalopods don't have it. Either it's very hard to mutate our way out of the flaw, or the flaw is by itself not important enough for the extraordinarily rare mutants who evolve their way past it to gain any ground on non-mutant populations.
If an eye with no blind-spot somehow causes a person to be more likely to have offspring than a person with a blind-spotted eye then perhaps there would be selection pressure. Otherwise it won't make a bit of difference from an evolutionary point of view.
The blame can be laid squarely at the feet of Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution. That is what has grown the government into the massive beast that it is.
I assume this means New Zealand dollars (as I do for all sites where it doesn't explicitely say). I mostly spend money on childrens' educational apps, probably up to NZD$50 a year.
I update at least once every two days and I very rarely experience problems caused by portage. It pulls in all requred dependencies for me automatically and I can stop it from installing crap I don't want via USE flags. I've run a number of linux distributions and gentoo is my favourite.
Not for those of us running Gentoo linux.
Then you're in luck! You get to do it the hard way, which should please you since you're using Gentoo.
Typing emerge --sync && emerge -uDNvt world is hardly what I would call "hard". The point of my post is that not all users can automatically update as the article summary suggested.
...and all existing users should be able to upgrade to it automatically

What this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.
