Project Gutenberg says 'LOL'

Almost all wifi radios can act as an AP. It was part of the standard for Ad-hoc networking, which has been gutted in modern implementations. I really hate that all the tech companies decided Ad-hoc was a threat to revenue and dont expose it in the UI.

Trust, but verify

99.9% of people do not need to be lawyers to understand the law. Lawyers are supposed to be for nuance and unintended consequences, not for basic interpretation. Never forget that the ultimate test of any law lies with a jury..

ITs not exactly great on OSX either.

This is exactly it. XP doesnt support the DRM they want.

Legal does not make it right.....You might want to research that....

As a citizen, yes it is your place to expose it. When did we get to the point where you wont even QUESTION authority? In this case the NSA was UNQUESTIONABLY wrong and it needed to be made public. Also, nuclear bombs are relatively trivial to design, there are few actual secrets. You take two chunks of refined material and smash them together at high speed. The hard part is getting the refined fissionable material.

My feeling is this, our government has compromised national security by acting in ways that are blatantly wrong. IF the government wasnt involved in incredibly dubious shit, i would be more sympathetic. The fact is our government is frantically trying to be able to tap everything, and that needed to be exposed.

This is why i refuse to use/buy the windows 8 apps. They are like weird alien programs on a machine im used to executing anything i want. IF I have the exe, it should run, logins be damned.

Yeah i have given up on Apple as a workstation. My 2011 Mac mini is slowly turning from a Unix-alike workstation to a very fancy ipad.

Forcing the choice is using force.

Then you arent presenting an honest choice among equals.

You are using de-humanization to drive your point. I am an equal human to you. You have no right to force stuff into my body as we are equals. You may not like my position, but you havee to respect my right to that position or we will come to blows. You have no right to ask this, and i will fight you to the death if you try. There are limits to how far government can limit Liberty for Safety.

This is a might vs right argument.
