You can trust that these companies have a profit motive to bring electricity & internet out there, so you can understand their path. It clearly has parallels to altruistic behavior for now, so lets enjoy those parallels while we know why they exist (because we understand their mindset).

Countersue the legal representation and win by default since DMCA use doesn't apply to content you don't own copyright on?

False takedowns are a felony that maybe a Comcast lawyer should experience, you know, to be made an example of.

I do that too, but consider
- the latest shows that won't make Netflix this decade,
- the benefits of fully-patched Android devices over unpatched stock roms. I have more piece of mind from that than anything,
- the civil disobedience against ever-more-invasive corporate blockades with laws attached. Are you sure you have nothing to worry about in the grander sense?
- other providers: I've watched UK shows which will never be available to the USA.

(Oops, I forgot to turn those speakers down. Games needed it louder to be heard.)

You kids go to bed, stop playing on the computer.

It must be a cultural/generational/social thing, because I am a 30-something man and could care less about any sport. As I get older, the idea disgusts me that over-concussion-ed growth-irregular people slamming into each other should get so much of our money and focus while so much many more high-value life (and society) choices go ignored.

QBittorrent:
- Watch torrents within minutes of finding what you want with in-order downloading.
- Searches span tens of sites & return only results & seed/peer numbers, but no ads. The description page (if you want it) is still only a click away.
- After 3x seed, torrents auto-pause. (no management necessary)

The final video file is mine to watch wherever I want. Unlike Netflix, this includes:
- With the kids during Car trips.
- On the cheap non-Google Android tablets that are affordable enough to entrust to young kids
- On the Cyanogenmod- ed phone because the stock ROM was awful & insecure.

Agreed. My last (large) company's hiring class was over 50% rehires (a group of 100). Despite how small-minded one manager may be, Having such a big company black-mark me would have been dangerous to my future. That company could be the best option for me one day in the future.

Or look at it like a psych experiment: Life after a 2-week notice is fascinating. You can say no to just about anything. "Fire me" can be used freely as a response (and they wouldn't dare pay you severance).

Just a little solar power will keep those non-backlit screens going all day. SD cards store thousands of records.

Lazy Setup:
- A rooted kindle can have an Android text editor. Use a rooted Kindle for every few letters of the alphabet.

Better:
- Their Browser talks to a Raspberry Pi ($35 + SD card) for central storage, backup, and a nice web interface like GNU Health.

Recently, I realized how true this is. They're convinced the Microsoft logo is a sure sell. They're entering saturated markets & losing. Now the higher Windows Server costs meant to push people to their cloud are just driving people away.

At high mind-share, anything anti-competitive wins more share, but at low mind-share, it does the opposite.
- Closed hardware: ARM devices locked to Windows, Locked-out Boot for Intel/AMD forcing people to make the choice
- Closed-cloud: why write Windows server software that's MS Cloud only when you could write Google App Engine software that'll run faster?

Microsoft wants to succeed in becoming incompatible with everyone and everything. With a little more grown-up Office alternatives, the world will have no use for them anymore.

I tried the MTP clients and they're all buggy. Since 13.04's got it built-in, it's nice & fast. It also has been bug-free for me, and I regularly push multi-GB files to SD.

But I've added a 32gb SD card to mine. Pictures go there automatically & downloads play from there fine. It's also just a copy-paste to move big games to the 32gb card.

If you're using 16 + 32 = 48gb on your phone, consider your use-cases.

The cloud movement could have been the next great economic success (mostly in the US), but instead the entire economic opportunity is being shut-down by the very government that it would most benefit.

I found WEP testing on some devices was poor. They were slow & disconnecting when WPA2 worked fine, so I upgraded then. Cheap consumer hardware is unreliable in the weeds.

I've had co-workers thinking that. Encourage them to never have children (since they can selfishly hoard their money better without the children). The next generation has no contact from those selfish members of society. Thus, altruistic behavior continues.
