Since I make a ton of money, and my boss is itching to fire me and replace me with a Syrian refugee who will work for cafeteria scraps, I make heavy use of 6-level deep macros and the C downto operator: while (i --> 0)
When someone is scammed they should sue AT&T for allowing the fake number. It's fraud and AT&T is complicit in carrying it out.
What would your laptop with 4GB memory have cost 20 years ago?
No, you can't test our corn because it is patented and licensed. The license prohibits you from growing it in your lab and publishing the results. You just need to take our word for it that we tested it and its safe.
I read the article... it says that the CFAA somehow prevents people from doing legitimate research, but fails to even give a single example of actually how this happens. How does the law that is supposed prevent computer fraud stop a person from doing research, exactly?
How's this?

Or this?
The ACLU would be great if they weren't so selective about the civil liberties they defend.
Yeah. It's a real shame that there is nobody in this country trying to uphold gun rights.
No. They look for cases they can win to overturn unjust laws. They aren't going to go to court with a teenage hacker who broke into NORAD.

I've never had any viruses or trojans on my machine.
How do you know?
Original CP/M machines that DOS was based on used 8" floppies. Back then was the days of autorun.bat because it was so convenient.
I really hope that the floppies used for the Nuclear codes are not being purchased on eBay. This is one case where its OK for them to spend $100 for the $1 part so that it doesn't come with a virus.
Unfortunately for the publishers, they failed to read my EUBA (End User Buyer's Agreement) which says that if they choose to sell to me then I am allowed to resell. If they don't want to agree to my terms, then they have the right not to sell to me. It's there on my website in Ugaritic, Aramaic and Sanskrit so there's no reason for them to feel cheated.
If selling copies were legal, it would make it impossible to sell copies of digital goods, as there's always be someone willing to sell for cheaper and the race to the bottom would make everything free.
That would pretty much mean the end of large portions of the entertainment industry such as movies, television, video games, and books.
Live performances such as plays and music could still exist, as could low production value "indie" stuff fincnaed via something like kicksarter but, it's mean more stuff like Star Wreck and nothing like say the Marvel movies.
Good point. Imagine what would happen if search engine sites were free. Companies providing search would all go out of business. Oh, wait...
to use the force of law to help you make money is morally wrong.
So shoplifting should be legal? After all, supermarkets use the force of law against people who reduce their profits by thieving stuff.
Except your example is exactly the wrong way around. Supermarkets buy goods from farmers and then claim they have a right to resell it to the general public at a higher price, depriving the farmers the additional money that they could have made selling it directly. The farmers should get together and sue the supermarkets to recover their lost profits. That's essentially what the publishers are claiming.
If games cannot be made free software, some people would prefer to keep the development and production environments and the games environment completely segregated. The former environments would run all free software, while the games environment would be a PlayStation 4 console.
That's the Tivo model. Sell the software so it only runs on hardware that you sell.
Old model. The last startup I worked at had 8 programmers in 7 different states. Nobody was "at the office" ever. But I could get online on my couch with a cat on my lap from 8 am til late at night and knew that most of the others were as well. All connected via chat room. Saving two hours a day of commuting made us all more productive.
