For a long time I have been using Comodo Internet security suite. I am very pleased with it.

It's basically a denial of service attack which is a criminal offense.

This is my revolutionary idea. Add a "use it or lose it" clause to copyright law. If no legitimate means of easily acquiring a legitimate copy of the copyrighted work is provided by the copyright holder, then after X number of years, that work falls into public domain. The whole point of copyright before these extensions was for the artist to profit off their works for a short period of time. After which if they wanted to continue making a profit, they had to continue using that creative mind of theirs to create new works of music,books, music, etc. It is not the intention of copyright for the creators childen's children's children's children or a corporation for centuries to be squeezing every possible penny out of the public who are interested in the work

it may be legal as lobbying and campaign donations. The 0.01% call it that. The remaining 99.99% of us call it bribery. The mask may say lobbying, but behind the mask is the spirit of bribery.

If a user has their Google Glass customized with prescription lenses, then forcing that user to remove the Google Glass in the theater or leave it in their car would violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and open the opportunity for a lawsuit against the theater and the MPAA

no more encrypted data streams. Watch identity theft skyrocket. Man in the middle attacks intercepting cleartext transactions and account info of every kind. Destroying everyone's livelihood. How is that public safety?

and for the rest of you flamers and trolls, this is a Q&A thread not a thread to personally attack another person. Take the insults elsewhere.

In simplest form. If company A patented 5+5=10. Then company B patented 20/2=10. Then company C patented Sqrt(100)=10. Would companies B and C be infringing company A's patent because it produces the same output. Even though the inputs and functions used are different. Based on what I read these days, that is what it sound like. If you produce the same output, even when the code is completely different, or even a different coding language, you are likely infringing the patent. Is this how bad software patents are.

Do you realize that 2015, the year in Back to the Future II, is right around the corner.

It has been legal to make personal backups here in the US for decades. They way big media circumvented that law was by lobbying for the DMCA and once passed, encrypt everything. Thus nullifying the law for the consumers.

Server 2012 R2, Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz, 4 GB DDR2, 3TB RAID 5 array all in a ridiculously heavy SuperMicro tower. I use mine for the media content my Roku accesses and backing up our three PCs. It also functions as a Domain, DNS, DHCP, File, and Print server for the 4 PCs, 2 laptops and 3 smartphones and 3 tablets.

true, I run various FTB mods. Have not played vanilla in quite a while.
