The most reasonable (relatively) argument I've heard is that there is probably code in windows that determines the OS by looking for something like "Windows 9*" (globbing Windows 95, Windows 98).

I think that Human Computer Interaction is a good place.

Doesn't this already happen on Steam? Then the extra content is released later as DLC?

Rather, I think it brings them to light.

...there's really nothing to be done about it. Maybe cancel the subscription?

They claim to be operating in 5 cities, yet the FAA will not allowed commercial use of drones before it's finalized its rules on the subject.

...is exactly what developers need. I know, I know make for good TV. Wait, does it?

These two stories were reported over a year ago.

Your TL;DR should be at the top of your response. (bonus for making it bold though)

...but DRM is amazing! I mean, CDs last forever, Tapes last several generations... but DRM licenses die with you! You can sell the same thing to EVERY freaking generation!!!

And like many an anti-aircraft (I know, anti-drone/munition) weapon before it, I imagine there are some unorthodox anti-personnel uses as well.

I would be interested to see what the user agents of some of these voters are. That's where the real vote happens. (caveat: I know that some of these browsers may have similar or identical User Agents, and that /.'ers are likely to mess with those sometimes, too.)

I think part of the problem here is that this kind of 'ends justify the means' behavior has it backwards. With the justice system, it really is about 'the means justify the ends'. If there is no due process, or the due process is impeded by one of the parties involved in the court case, how can we believe that the outcome is what it should have been (with some tolerance for error, of course... =P).

"Hackers are not dangerous, they are misunderstood, and while disciplinary action is of course necessary, there is nothing disciplined about locking the door on a young man's life for 10 years."

FTFY: disciplinary, disciplinary. disciplined is the wrong word for this. It's like Jake Davis is saying that locking the door is a disciplined act. He means disciplinary act.

...cannot be a good thing for his credibility, no matter what geopolitical issues it brings to the fore.
