Comment Is it age or skill? (Score 1) 582

I've re-educated myself every few years, as needed from punched cards all the way to tablets. From Fortran all the way to C++, JS, CSS, etc. I've worked for the same company for 35 years, made it through over 20 layoffs. I think it is skill, training, work ethic, and yes, personality. I've moved to the tech ladder. I volunteer in the community and have a happy, close family life. Maybe, some of you should consider coming to the Hidden Silicon Vally, Oklahoma. Where the houses are reasonable, the taxes are lower, the recreation is abundant, the air clean. Our rush hour is from 5:00 to 5:05.

Bittorrent is just a pipeline, and it's used widely to circumvent the copyright on other people's works.

What proof do you have of the % of users or files that are "stolen"? Many legitimate users and providers are using it in a legal way. Or are you using "common sense", i.e., no proof, just accusations?

Back in the dark ages of dial-up access. They would lock out the account with a message to call an 800 number. They would step you through the process of getting rid of it. I just had to update my son's scanner and run it. Of course, that meant all 5 of us were locked out, even though 2 of them were at college!
