Being an IT professional myself I see this all the time. Sometimes people just need to ask themselves, is there actually a benefit to having a computer system which no matter how well designed can go down just for the sake of being digital? To me, many times the cost and aggrivation doesnt always justify the "need"

Just because its booming doesnt mean they arent being ripped off.

Some people need to realize it isn't just "the man" in hollywood. By ripping off shows and movies they are also hurting the folks who work with the CG departments, lighting and sound, construction etc. Many of these people make an average or slightly above average salary and when people don't pay for content these people suffer. With that being said, Hollywood needs to stop the blatant abuse of the copyright system. Fair use should be just that, FAIR. I should have the ability to use the content I paid for on any device and in any format I desire without jumping through the hoops of DRM. On top of that DRM servers are sure to go offline at some time due to age or greed which does nothing but force the consumer to re-buy what they already bought.

Not everyone has the ability to change browsers on a whim. There are complicated systems in place at many organizations that simply CANT make the move no matter how much they would like to. We understand the headaches this causes to the rest of the world, but for example I work for a hospital and our PACS system (medical imaging) is a GE product that until recently ONLY worked with IE6 due to activex control requirements. Are you telling me we should abandon a multi million dollar setup just because you want me to use a new browser? Futhermore, we push the vendors to move forward but with FDA certificaton requirements what they are sometimes this is a long arduous process.

I use team viewer, www.teamviewer.com for most remote assistance things, it can be installed easily or you can select the option of just running it if you dont want the app left on the pc. It supports pc and mac, it has throwaway userid and password scheme so people dont worry about you getting in later. Its fast, its small....damn I sound like an ad. Best of all, its free for personal use! It also has the option of setting a static id and password if you want to get in to a machine over and over. It has also worked behind every firewall ive ever come across.

Because there is no way for a tech to know whether the music is legal or not just by looking at it. Has this person ripped it themselves? Have they downloaded something they own? CP on the other hand is illegal no matter what.

Because EVERYONE knows that clock speed is what determines a processors performance.....

Don't forget that's 100mbps HALF duplex and shared amongst everyone using it. And even that's in a perfect world with no interference and no retransmits.
