This will pave the way to a whole new way to goof off in class: Kids will have their eyes and "full attention" on the teacher, all the while playing 3d-shooters or watching porn!

Super-low-density materials don't generally lend themselves well to this - this would be a truly exceptional material if it makes a good acoustic absorber.

Hyperlinks are about as complicit in libel as ears are complicit in slander. Both provide access to the defamation in question, but neither are the defamation itself!

You see, it's the northern part of Canada (furthest from you) which has no internet. Between them and you is southern Canada, who happens to still have internet, as well as an overly-extreme pride for hockey and beer. Of course, I wouldn't expect an American to comprehend his relative geographical location :)

Great, so now we have self-aware machines with personality disorders orbiting us? Who's gonna capitalize on the budding satellite anger-management industry?

If history is any indicator, the music/film market doesn't get "pushed". Consumers will simply be pushed to break the law.

Between this secret document and the wikileaks cables uncovered it's pretty clear that the US owns Canada.

I don't have the name anymore, but I found a tool that allowed me to easily (automatically) move all my pictures over. I don't believe there's much facebook can do to stop this, provided the tool runs locally on the user's machine.

You would have every right to turn away the representative, but the consequence would be that your internet connectivity license would be immediately revoked. If the MAFIAA needs to be able to prove that you have control over your network in order to successfully sue you in court for piracy, then you having access to the internet must be contingent on the MAFIAA being able to prove that you have control of your network. We can't have people downloading pirated material and then have no way to prosecute them! (/tongue-in-cheek)

You are right of course, BUT

Are you suggesting you want a MAFIAA representative knocking on your door every month for a mandatory home network security audit, paid for using your tax dollars? Because that is the next logical step for these bastards if the courts take your approach.

Should be noted that often these types of (politically) pointless vandalisms occur as a by-product of genuine civic unrest (peaceful or otherwise)

Should also be noted that vandalisms give police an excuse to use force on the entire group (peaceful protesters plus vandals). Such was the case in the Toronto G20, for example. If I were an unethical power hungry cop who just wanted to bash some skulls in, I'd be considering inciting vandalism myself.

"Very complicated", referring of course to the process of determining whether your political leanings are threatening or not to the government in power.

...that optical media was dead.
