True. Keep your second amendment weapons.
But please, only the ones that were around when the second amendment was written. At a shot rate of maybe 1 per minute, and its accuracy, everybody wins.
Those letters, "Abmahnung", are different as they have been used for many years, especially ever since computers got popular
The interesting part also is that all the requests were sent to the same court, which in turn had multiple internal offices handle the requests
That's another point of criticism - while P2P or download is a deliberate action, leading to local storage of files, streaming videos from a free site that is not by definition a pirate site makes it near impossible for users to know they are breaking copyright laws
Which is why the letters to the court left out the word "streaming" - for streaming, no court order would have been issued (most likely, anyway). Which, in turn, should get the lawyer knowingly misleading the court disbarred or at least fined
Not only is the NSA breaking the law, they also consist of idiots who ought to know better about social engineering and the likes
Not very surprisingly, the news about European countries' secret agencies cooperating with GCHQ and NSA easily explain the reluctance of said countries' politicians to really go after the US and UK for spying on them and their citizens
Guess what they say is true: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're not being watched
... how long, until the only ones able to correctly solve the captchas are computers
... when all 80 Million Germans were under surveillance, everything seemed to be OK
Did I mention most politicians suck?
... even in that area, China generates more jobs than the US

What's the deal with "easily damaged" USB connectors? In all my life, out of probably 3 dozens, I've not had a single cable - or device - break. I've had one cable (cheapest kind, ~1$ or so) that had gotten worn out, losing contact when wiggled, but for that price I won't be complaining. WTF are you people doing with your devices and cables? Or is everything you buy from the $1 shop?
Micro-USB may be better than many alternatives, but it's still a poor choice. It's tiny and polarized, so it's hard to see which way it needs to be oriented, particularly in poor lighting. That's a rather common problem. Why couldn't they get it right?
In contrast, Apple's Lightning connector works the same in either orientation.
Right. Humanity has gotten so d@mn lazy that - in case of not being able to see the correct orientation - rotating the plug by 180 is too f'ing hard to do
Sorry, but many of proprietary "advances" are just ways of securing companies' income, with minimal advantages for the customer
I don't have a gun, but I respect the Second Amendment and those that have guns. There are something like 100 accidental gun deaths a year, which I consider negligible in the grand scheme of things.
For one, you should get your numbers straight
Also, what about the thousands of other gun deaths in the US every year? Are they also negligible in your eyes, after all they aren't "accidental"?
The increased usage increases the problem of bad throughput
Having run an exit node for a short while myself, I know of the results: within less than 4 weeks, we received an inquiry into the owner/operator of the machine with the node's IP address, due to reported child porn access. Luckily, the police seemed to be halfway knowledgeable, and with the provided infos on the operation of the node (stats about the node throughput, etc.) they stopped investigating the issue. Needless to say node operation was terminated the day we received the initial inquiry. Without decent "provider status protection" for exit nodes, the risk for operators may be a bit too high unless extensive (and expensive) measures are taken to block illegal material
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
